5!!'''Good Vibes tropes include:'''
6
7%%* AllWomenAreLustful: It's hard to find a female character in the show that ''isn't'' sex crazed in some way.
8%%** AllMenArePerverts: The male characters sure as hell aren't any better.
9%%* AlphaBitch: Milan.
10* AmbiguouslyGay: Wadska and in episode 3 Turks shows minor shades of this with his allusion to ''Film/BrokebackMountain'' and his suggestion that he and Mondo sleep next to each other for body warmth.
11%%* BigDamnKiss: [[spoiler: Between Mondo and Geena in the final episode.]]
12* TheCameo: Virgil from Saving Virgil was seen as a plush on Mondo's window.
13%%* CantHoldHisLiquor: Mondo is quite a mean drunk.
14%%* CatchPhrase: "Balls!" for Mondo.
15* ChekhovsGun: In "Floatopia", Babs pins a condom on the back of Mondo's shorts. [[spoiler:Woodie later uses the safety pin to pop one of the floats in Floatopia, causing the whole thing to collapse]].
16* CountryMatters: The joke behind the Kuntz sisters' last name. Mondo innocuously pronounces it "Koontz" when he meets them, and they promptly correct him.
17%%* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Woodie's Dad.
18* CouchGag: Different hallucinations happening to Mondo and Woody when they pass through the smoke cloud in the opening, From ''Literature/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas'' to ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''.
19* CreatorCameo: Dana Goodman and Julia Wolov make several appearances as a pair of rollerbladers.
20* DisappearedDad: Mondo's, who literally had to disappear due to being a cleaner for the Mafia. A literal cleaner, by the way....he was their custodian.
21* DisproportionateRetribution: A pair of cops planned on shooting Wadska for underage drinking.
22* DistractedByTheSexy: Babs's rack puts all men in visual range into stupors (and makes women engage in [[LesYay lesbianism]]!)
23* EasilyForgiven: Hilariously averted. Teets' date (who resembles a midget Music/{{Prince}}) never showed up because he was hit by a car, a truck and a plane, the drivers and the pilot were drunk. He survived, but ended up in a 15-year coma. Upon waking up, he became a cop and dedicated himself to save people from irresponsible drunks. When he asked Teets (who's in jail for drinking and driving) to give him a second chance, she says "fine" and calls him a "selfish bastard".
24* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Babs. Not even just with Ms. Teets. Seeing her nude breasts in an episode made several women engage in lesbianism.
25%%* FatAndSkinny: Mondo and Woodie.
26%%* FatIdiot: Mondo.
27* FunTShirt: Wadska has a different one every episode each one of a different Meme, like Derp for example
28%%* GenkiGirl: Jeena.
29* GoodAngelBadAngel: Mondo has this happen when he sees a drunken Jeena in bed: The Devil tells him he's cleared for takeoff, while the Good Angel... starts masturbating. He ignores them both and takes her out of floatopia.
30** And when Geena tells him how "vulnerable" she was, his Devil kicks him while his angel spits in his face
31* HeadTurningBeauty: Babs draws reactions from people and inanimate objects alike in episode nine when she goes for a jog.
32* HiddenDepths: Wadska, as revealed in "Blowing Your Wadska": His extremely over the top activities when Mondo and Woodie sleep over are him trying to make the sleepover memorable and are based on the duo's favorite films (''Film/{{Avatar}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' respectively), coming off a bit creepy by accident. Geena reveals later in the episode that Mondo and Woodie are the first friends Wadska's had.
33* HoistByHisOwnPetard: in "Virgin Hangover" [[spoiler: Mondo and Woodie had sign Turk's name to the army and ended up join at the end]].
34** Very nearly happens to Milan in "The D List", where Mondo and Woodie use her defense of the titular list of boys in the school from biggest penis size to smallest to propose "The SP List." The S stands for "smelly."[[note]]The P stands for "p[[spoiler:eople]]."[[/note]]
35* IdenticalTwinIDTag: The Kuntz twins are completely identical except for the color of their clothes. HJ wears blue and BJ wears purple.
36* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: At least a few, but Babs in particular.
37* {{Jerkass}}: Turk and Milan... better safe to say the ONLY characters who aren't jerkasses are Mondo, Woodie, Babs, and Jeena.
38%%* LittleBlackDress: Babs. episode 4.
39%%* LonelyRichKid: Woody before he became friends with Mondo.
40* LovableSexManiac: Both Mondo and Woodie qualify (they are teenage boys)
41* LoveMakesYouDumb: Jeena who can't seem to see how much of a self-absorbed JerkAss that Turk is.
42** She finally dumps him in "The Red Tux" after realizing what a jerk he was in "The Grass is Always Greener".
43* MaleGaze: Rampant. It's safe to assume that this show was not created with a female audience in mind.
44* MistakenForPregnant: In "Surf Legend", Milan thinks she might be pregnant because she keeps puking and it's not on purpose, and a pregnancy test confirms it. But then it turns out to be a false positive caused by appetite suppressants.
45%%* MoralityChain: Geena for Turk
46%%* MsFanservice: Babs, of course.
47%%* MusicalEpisode: "Mondo Mia!"
48* NiceGuy: Mondo, he might be your run of the mill perverted teenager but at least his heart is in the right place, mentioned by Jeena in "Floatopia". Woodie as well since he's the only one in his family who's family riches didn't make into a jerkass.
49* OverlyLongName: Wadska's full name is Winthrop Aguilera Wadska.
50* PoliticalOvercorrectness: Milan attempts (and fails) to use this when Mondo calls out Milan's "d-list" as a form of bullying in the principal's office.
51-->'''Milan''': It's not bullying, it's an institution!
52-->'''Mondo''': ''Slavery'' was an institution!
53-->'''Milan''': (Gasp) He said slavery! That's racist. Expelled.

58%%* SadistTeacher: Ms. Teets.
59* SingleMindedTwins: HJ and BJ Kuntz, the members of Milan's GirlPosse
60* SmarterThanYouLook: Upon first glance of Babs and even hearing her voice, you'd figure she's basically an exaggerated version of the cliche Jersey housewife. Which she is, but she's actually quite intelligent and astute when it comes to people, and is extremely caring to boot.
61* SpoiledBrat: Woodie's family except for Woodie himself.
62* StacysMom: Woodie's lusting over Babs
63* StalkerWithACrush: Ms. Teets seems to have some semblance of a crush on Babs and displays minor Yanderish tendencies towards her.
64* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In "Red Tuxedo", both Mondo and Turk thought Geena said "titty dance" when she clearly said "pity dance".
65-->'''Geena:''' God, do I have a speech impediment or something?!
66* StrongFamilyResemblance: Milan looked very similar to Woodie before she got plastic surgery and straightened her hair.
67* StupidSexyFlanders: Wadska pulls this a few times with a cameraman covering the Floatopia party from a helicopter, wearing thongs to attract the attention.
68* TakeThat: When Mondo watches a porno movie, he states that it's disgusting, has no plot, and is only going for shock value. Geena then replies that she paused the porno and that they're actually watching an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
