13 | * BaitAndSwitch: In strip 91, a detective comes to school and says one of the students is an adult masquerading as a child. Cut to a bearded student looking nervous... then the detective arrests Frank instead. |
14 | * ButtMonkey: The only reason Lily is around, really. |
15 | * {{Calvinball}}: Trevopoly appears to be a mixture of ''TabletopGame/{{Battleship}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Sorry}}'', played on a ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}'' board, with made-up rules. |

23 | * FourthWallMailSlot |
24 | * FrameUp: Strip 92 reveals that Frank's arrest in the previous strip was a result of Trevor giving the police a fake tip-off so that they would lock Frank up and Trevor could play his ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' save files. |

26 | * GoneHorriblyRight: Lily's "accident." |
27 | * GoneHorriblyWrong: The potato battery experiment. |
28 | * HollywoodBoardGames: In the 34th strip, Trevor tries to cover up that he lost ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}'s'' instructions by reading made-up rules from the brochure of an unidentified game and including ''TabletopGame/{{Battleship}}'' pegs and ships. When Frank calls him out, he decides that this new game is [[CalvinBall ''Trevopoly'']]. |
29 | * InCaseOfXBreakGlass: {{Parodied}} in one [[https://www.deviantart.com/newschoolkids/art/Comic-43-271643398 strip]], where the red box reads "Break glass if you want, I guess". The boys, of course, smack it, causing alarms to blare and a red light to appear. As the [[SpoilerTitle strip's title indicates]], it's really the garage door opener. |
