16	* BigLittleMan: The villain in ''[=Dood McLood=]'' appears huge until the camera pulls back to reveal he's shorter than Dood. Then inverted, as it's revealed that he really is huge but was standing a long way away.
17	%%* CanadianWestern: ''[=Dood McLood=]''.
18	* CupidsArrow: Cupid appears at the beginning and end of ''Dood on a Date'' with the end having Cupid shooting an arrow at the heart Dood's and his potential love interest's creators formed, causing an explosion of hearts to come out and forming "FIN".

23	** Dood gets one in the pilot episode.
24	** In ''Dood.com'', Dood gets another one -- and then several more, all of which gang up on him.
25	* EyeScream: Amusing gags involving Dood's eyeballs happen and are PlayedForLaughs. One highlight involves a toy robot with claw hands just grabbing his eyeballs and pulling them out.
26	* GentleGiant: Dood's new mom in ''Dood Sitting''. It's clear she adores her new son.
27	* HalloweenSpecial: ''Grave Matters'' is loosely a Halloween special, then being made clear in the unreleased short ''Gag Me'', where it's about Dood going trick or treating.
28	%%* HereWeGoAgain: At the end of ''Dood Sitting''.
29	* MagicWand: In ''Black Hat'', Dood gets one to go with the magic hat. It never does what he wants it to.
30	* MediumAwareness: In ''Dood.com'', Dood is being drawn on a computer paint program. When Hand starts abusing one of the drawing tools to mess with Dood, Dood physically takes hold of the toolbar, pulls it off the inside of the screen, and breaks it into little pieces.

32	* OncePerEpisode: The word "fin" (French for "The End") shows up somewhere at the end of each episode.
33	* OverlyLongScream: The DamselInDistress in ''[=Dood McLood=]'' has to keep one going as Dood has some trouble getting the riding-to-the-rescue business going. By the time he arrives, she's run out of breath and fallen into an exhausted slumber.
34	* PullARabbitOutOfMyHat: Dood's unsuccessful attempts to do this make up most of ''Black Hat''. In the end, he inadvertantly turns himself into a rabbit, which then pulls Dood out of the hat.
35	* RuleOfFunny: [[strike:Some]] [[strike:most]] EVERY single gag in the series runs under this trope.
36	* ShoutOut:
37	** The episode ''Dood.com'' featured Dood being tormented by Hand in a Paint program, a la "WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck".
38	** In ''Black Hat'', Dood's first attempt to pull a rabbit out of the hat produces instead [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle an angry moose]].
39	** ''[=Dood McLood=]'' is basically one big shout-out to ''WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight''.

41	%%* StageMagician: One shows up at the end of ''Black Hat'' to claim the hat and wand.

43	* TheVoiceless: Every single character, although they do things like laugh, sneeze and go "Huh?"
44	* ValentinesDayEpisode: ''Dood on a date'' is clearly a Valentines day special, being about Dood going on a date with Doodette.
