6!!Tropes found in ''Henry's World'' include:
7* AliensSpeakingEnglish: The Plutonians in the episode "Is Anyone Out There?" speak English just fine.
8* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In "Pirate Out of the Water", a police officer stops Henry, who is riding his bicycle, and says that he was riding hands-free, his bike has a faulty bell and a faulty right tire, and he didn't tuck his left trouser leg into his sock.
9* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: In "Is Anyone Out There?", Henry and his friend Fraidy go to space to find aliens. They travel the surface of a planet they find without wearing spacesuits, but can still breathe just fine.
10* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Nine times out of ten, Henry's wishes will go horribly wrong somehow.
11* BlackBeadEyes: Most of the characters have eyes of this kind.
12* BlatantLies: In "Silver Tongue", Henry wishes everyone would believe everything he says. Cue him making up a ton of ''very'' obvious lies that everyone, from his friend Fraidy to even ''adults'', believes anyway.
13* TheBully: Darwin serves as a bully in most episodes where he appears.
14* ChristmasEveryDay: In one episode, Henry wishes it could be his birthday every day, which results in a GroundhogDayLoop of birthdays.
15* FatBastard: Darwin is noticeably fat compared to other characters and is usually seen bullying others.
16* KidsLoveDinosaurs: The episode "Pet Dinosaur" revolves around Henry wishing for... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a pet dinosaur]].
17* NotSoForgottenBirthday: In "Middle Child Blues", Henry's family seems to have forgotten his birthday, which is what sets off the events of the episode (it causes him to wish he was an only child). At the end of the episode, it turns out they didn't forget after all and had a SurpriseParty planned the whole time.
18* PowerUpFood: Mashed carrots cause Henry's wishes to come true.
19* QuestioningTitle: The episode "Is Anyone Out There?" has this kind of title.
20* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: In one episode where Henry becomes a piano-playing prodigy, he ends up snarkily saying "Yawn." after completing a piano song to show how easy it is to him.
21* ShoutOut: Listen carefully to the music at the very end of "Darwin for a Day" - it's a cheeky musical nod to the theme from ''Series/QuantumLeap'', on which the episode is based.
22* SpaceEpisode: "Is Anyone Out There?" follows Henry as he wishes for a rocket ship and goes out to space.
