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.

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.
