7	----
8	!This series contains examples of:
9	* ArtisticLicenseLinguistics: Raven's PSA on German has the words in an English grammatical structure.
10	* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Beast Boy lampshades this in episode 10, but Cyborg tells him to "stop criticizing city planning and focus on the bomb".
11	* AllUpToYou: While Beast Boy and Raven stumble upon, work out and abandon a relationship on the sidelines, Cyborg is forced to take on Raven's "Trigon" personality shard by himself. He wins.
12	* TheBadGuyWins: Played for laughs, but what's especially notable is that they ''stick.''
13	** In "The Replacement", Blackfire successfully replaces her sister Starfire on the team.
14	** In "Aqualad Sux, L.O.L.", formerly "Deep Six", Trident and his clones conquer the world.
15	* BeautyEqualsGoodness: parodied and lampshaded by Aqualad when he is talking about Trident:
16	--->'''Aqualad''': On Atlantis, he is a criminal and I am a good guy, because he is ugly and I am pretty.\
17	'''Raven''': You are! ''You are!''
18	* BigDamnHeroes: Beastboy refers to Aqualad as one in Episode 8.
19	* BlackComedyRape: Implied.
20	-->'''Cyborg:''' They stole my freaking arm while we were off-camera!
21	-->'''Starfire:''' That's better than what they did to ''me'' off-camera.
22	-->'''Beast Boy:''' T.M.I., Star.
23	** Although WordOfGod [[invoked]] is that Starfire was tickle-tortured, a "grave insult" on Tamaran.
24	* BrownNote: Fix-It is defeated by being deluged with... ''Manga/WeddingPeach'' episodes. "Truly, a fate worse than dying."
25	* ButHeSoundsHandsome: Robin does this while disguised as Red X.
26	* CaptainObvious: Aqualad calls Beast Boy this, who just responds "Hey, don't diss Captain Obvious! He's a cool guy!"
27	* CatchPhrase: "Sure, it's not like we have anything better to do."
28	** "This will require teamwork/Good teamwork!" while Robin defeats the enemy with one punch.
29	** "Sweet [[Literature/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]]!"
30	* CharacterExaggeration: Played with, somehow, regarding fake-Starfire duplicating Starfire's canon ludicrous ditziness.
31	-->'''Cyborg:''' ''(as fake-Starfire drinks mustard)'' I think you're over doing it. Star wasn't ''that'' dumb.
32	-->'''Blackfire:''' Oh, trust me. She was.
33	* ComedicSociopathy: Raven ("I hate all of you") as well as Robin and... everyone else, except possibly Cyborg.
34	** Lampshaded more than once in the Thunder and Lightning episode.
35	--->'''Robin:''' This city already has its own destructive jerks! The Teen Titans!
36	** Another example is a running gag where the Titans are confused when people refer to themselves as friends.
37	--->'''Raven:''' Destroying the national park didn't work. And destruction is all we know how to do!
38	* CrossoverShip: Beast Boy's nightmare is being in a SlashFic with [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]]. [[invoked]]
39	* DependingOnTheWriter: Lampshaded by Starfire.
40	-->'''Robin:''' Are you an alien or just dense?
41	-->'''Starfire:''' The writers of this show could never seem to decide.
42	* DiscriminateAndSwitch: When the Titans go clubbing
43	--> Beast Boy: I bet Cyborg can do a mean robot.
44	--> Cyborg: Oh sure, just because I'm black you assume I can dance.
45	* DisproportionateRetribution: Robin reading the announcer's notes leads to the Narrator [[RealityWarper changing the plot so that the villain is right behind them]].
46	-->'''Robin:''' [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands "Since when is he God?"]]
47	* DoAnythingRobot: "[Cyborg's] machines can do anything the plot calls for."
48	* DontExplainTheJoke: Mumbo explains all his jokes and he still thinks they're funny.
49	* DrivenToSuicide: Robin's HeroicSacrifice in the season 1 finale is changed to this, as he realizes he's "trapped between two groups of idiots!"
50	* FollowTheLeader
51	* FreudianExcuse: It's starting to look like the Tamaranean royal family had a dark history well before Blackfire met the Titans [[TheBadGuyWins and replaced her sister]].
52	-->'''Starfire/Blackfire:''' I know how you feel, Cyborg. One time, I had a trusted little sister who left me to die in a frozen wasteland far from home. But I got her back. I got her ''goood.''
53	* GameMaster: Bobcat's Dungeon Master Role in Episode 7 when the Puppet King attempts to use Starfire and Raven as slaves. Raven wants to make her and Starfire immune to the attack along with making Cyborg snapping out of the attack as well.
54	* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Raven lampshades how Puppet King is this by asking a ''lot'' of questions the actual episode didn't answer.
55	* AGodAmI: Raven's [[BoisterousBruiser gung-ho]] personality, who demands worship as lord and savior.
56	* HypocriticalHumor: Batman's reaction to episode 2
57	-->'''Batman:''' I can't believe that Robin did that. You don't just replace a teammate and act like nothing happened! Where did he learn that kind of behavior?
58	-->'''Other Robin:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, gee, I can't imagine where.]]
59	-->'''Batman:''' Shut up, Jason.
60	-->'''Other Robin:''' I'm '''Tim!'''
61	-->'''Batman:''' Whatever.
62	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Bizarrely inverted at the end of the first season when Robin infects himself with the probes.
63	-->'''Robin:''' Too late.
64	-->'''Slade:''' You-you're just doing this to manipulate me! It's not going to work! I'm not your teacher anymore! You can just ''be'' orange!
65	-->'''Robin:''' But Slade, if you let me die, you're no better than ''I'' am.
66	* InteractiveNarrator
67	* IResembleThatRemark: Starfire (well, Blackfire) pulls this off:
68	-->'''Robin:''' I think you should apologize [to Raven].
69	-->'''Beast Boy:''' Dude, she ruined breakfast! ''She'' should be the one apologizing!
70	-->'''Robin:''' I agree with you, but women are irrational creatures. It's why they always win arguments.
71	-->'''Starfire:''' I...am...not...'''''IRRATIONAL!''''' (''bursts into tears'')
72	-->'''Robin:''' (''to Beast Boy'') Look what you made me do. Now go apologize to Raven while I deal with Starfire crying for the next 3 hours.
73	* LampshadedTheObscureReference: In episode 11, after a few references were made, Robin wondered who declared it obscure reference day. He then gets annoyed when Starfire claims a ''Series/DoctorWho'' reference would be obscure.
74	* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: According to Robin, what the team agreed to after their encounter with Mad Mod.
75	* LiteraryAllusionTitle: episode four "How to be an Anime Without Really Trying" from "How to Succeed in Business...."
76	** Arguably episode five also, "Full Metal Panic!" referring to the manga series of the same name.
77	*** Also, "All of Me," for the Steve Martin movie.
78	* MeanwhileBackAtThe: As ever, with a bit of ''{{WesternAnimation/Superfriends}}'' parody
79	** Some would say it manages to become an OverlyLongGag by the second episode.
80	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: The line "Actual Dialogue" will flash at the bottom of the screen if it's something particularly bad that the characters really did say.
81	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In episode 3:
82	-->'''Robin:''' Titans, this will require teamwork!
83	-->'''Beast Boy:''' Oh, so [[CallBack we're gonna get to sit around while you kill it with one punch again?]]
84	-->'''Robin:''' No, this will require ''actual'' teamwork.
85	-->'''Beast Boy:''' That's new.
86	-->'''Robin:''' I know. I'm scared too.
87	* RunningGag:
88	** "[[VindicatedByHistory History will forgive me]]! Just like Joseph Stalin and Benedict Arnold."
89	** "Soon after, at the Benedict Arnold Memorial Bridge..."
90	** "Later, back at the Joseph Stalin Memorial Park..."
91	** "Sometime later, at Genghis Khan avenue..."
92	** "A short time later, at UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler speedway ..."
93	* RussianReversal: The blue fungus in the fridge says "food eats you".
94	* SelfDeprecation: Robin describes Slade as "almost as bad as the guys who make an abridged series of an 8-year-old cartoon show".
95	* ShipTease: WordOfGod is they're aiming to do this for every ship. The biggest being when Robin and Raven's mutual ComedicSociopathy ends with a "make-out session behind the tree."
96	** Or when Raven and Beast Boy break up after "dating for ten seconds".
97	--->'''Beast Boy:''' You're a hot girl who runs around in a swimsuit. ''Of course'' I like you.
98	* ShoutOut: Raven's 'destruction' quote above is a reference to a ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' quote about 'murder.'
99	** There have been a couple references to Freakazoid, too; Raven "throws a barrel" at a monster in episode three, and the dance club in episode two plays the Freakazoid theme song. Also, Beast Boy uses the phrase Crud Vapors as an expletive.
100	** "Your dad [Trigon] is [[Manga/{{Trigun}} Vash the Stampede]]?!"
101	** When encountering multiple Ravens in her head, Cyborg's first guess is basically the plot to ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman''.
102	* SomethingElseAlsoRises: Apparently, the basis of how Starfire's flight works.
103	* StartMyOwn: Cyborg, with obligatory ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' homage.
104	* SureLetsGoWithThat: Aqualad confesses to having no idea what Trident wants with nuclear waste. Robin suggests that maybe Trident thinks he's on ''WesternAnimation/{{Captain Planet\|AndThePlaneteers}}'' and just pollutes as a hobby. Aqualad responds with this trope. (Unlike most examples, it's actually used in agreement)
105	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Starfire thinks of Robin in terms of "friendship and nothing else, and certainly nothing involving chains and hot wax."
106	* TakeThat, [[Manga/WeddingPeach "second-rate magical girl anime!"]] (likely AffectionateParody, considering [=TokuTenshi=]'s involved...)
107	** Episode 5's closing stinger takes a shot at Family Guy's cutaway gags.
108	** Grant Morrison gets a knock at their unusual storylines in Episode 8, with the introduction of Pices the Aquadog.
109	* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: "Gravity trumps pink, bitch."
110	* WonderTwinPowers: Thunder and Lightning take the form of a Deus ex Machina.
111	* WhoWouldBeStupidEnough: Done with a flashback to the first episode. Gizmo could learn from Fix-It.
112	** Starfire's not an alien, she's just a cloud of swamp gas...
113	* YourMom
114	-->'''Robin:''' Slade, stop. Stop hurting Starfire! Go ahead and keep hurting the others.
115	-->'''Slade:''' Sorry, I only have one button. It's all or none.
116	-->''[pause]''
117	-->'''Robin:''' ...okay, stop hurting them all, I guess.
118	-->'''Slade:''' Wow, you... you ''really'' had to think about that, didn't you?
119	-->'''Robin:''' Yo' ''momma'' had to think about it last night!
120	-->'''Slade:''' Robin, my mother's 105 years old and weighs 341 pounds. She has varicose veins as wide as my forearm!
121	-->'''Robin:''' Okay, okay, no more "yo momma" jokes!
122	* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Robin thinks he is this after the Red X debacle, [[SubvertedTrope but then]] Starfire reminds him that she is actually Blackfire, having successfully framed her sister and sent her to prison, and thus is [[EvilerThanThou not that perturbed by his evil phase]].
