11	''Johnny Test'' is an American-Canadian AnimatedSeries featuring the eponymous [[KidHero 11-year-old hero]] and his "super talking dog", Dukey. The duo find themselves going on various crazy exploits thanks to Johnny's older twin sisters' tendency to use him as an often willing guinea pig for their [[MadScientist science experiments]], or him just screwing around in the laboratory in general. In short, think ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' if Dee Dee was the main character and gender-bent, and Koosalagoopagoop was a sardonic caffeine addict. The series was created by American producer Scott Fellows, a writer on early seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' who is best known for his live-action series ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'' and ''Series/BigTimeRush''.

13	The show premiered on the Creator/KidsWB Saturday morning block on September 17, 2005 and proceeded to run for 3 seasons with 39 episodes in total. In the second season, Canadian studio Creator/CookieJarEntertainment jumped in to help Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation produce the series, and Canadian network Creator/{{Teletoon}} began funding production. The series also switched from traditional animation to UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash in Season 2, as Warner Bros. decided to cut costs by outsourcing the show to Halifax-based studio Creator/CollideascopeDigitalProductions. The show originally ended after its third season in response to the cancellation of Kids' WB! in 2008, but was {{Uncancelled}} in 2009 when Creator/CartoonNetwork picked up the series for broadcast and began co-commissioning episodes with Teletoon. From there, it ran for three more seasons, each with 26 episodes, and became AdoredByTheNetwork until its second cancellation in 2014. But with Collideascope having closed shop between seasons, animation was instead outsourced to Vancouver-based Creator/AtomicCartoons starting with the fourth season.
14
15	In 2019, it was revealed that the show would be uncancelled again, this time in the form of a web series on Website/YouTube and two more seasons on Creator/{{Netflix}}. For the webseries, none of the original cast (not even Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor, the voice of the title character) returned, and it proved extremely short-lived. [[https://kidscreen.com/2020/05/06/wildbrain-netflix-bring-back-johnny-test/ The revived series, on the other hand, brought most of the original cast back]] and another change in animation, with series owners Creator/WildBrain (which had acquired Cookie Jar back in 2012 after Warner Bros. gave up their part of the rights to the show) using their Vancouver studio to animate the show via UsefulNotes/ToonBoom and Netflix now funding the show. While still sporting short episodes, [[QuarterHourShort it no longer runs on the 2 episode format.]] The first season of the revival premiered in July 2021, with the second season dropping on January 2022. The revival series could also be caught on Canadian channel Creator/WildBrainTV starting on October 2021.

17	[[JustforFun/IThoughtThatWas Not to be confused with]] ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'', which this show was clearly named after.
18
19	----
20	!!This show provides examples of:
21
22	* AbsurdAltitude: An amusement park ride meant to deter Johnny from having an amusement park at his house.
23	* AccidentalPublicConfession: In "Johnny Gets Mooned", The Moonsies do a Type 2 when Johnny and Dukey see their plans to invade the Earth; it's a Type 2, because although Johnny and Dukey ''see'' the plans, they don't understand them because they can't read Moonsie.
24	* ActorAllusion:
25	** [[Creator/ScottMcNeil Zizrar, King of the Mole People]], who has a very similar voice to a certain iguana, said at the end of Season 3, "[[WesternAnimation/KryptoTheSuperdog Man, I hate that kid and super dog!]]"
26	** [[Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor Johnny]] wants to be a [[Website/YouTube SnoobTube]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/JamesArnoldTaylor sensation.]]
27	** [[Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor Johnny and Dark Vegan]] already wield [[Franchise/StarWars lightsticks/sabers and save a planet from a wannabe destoryer]]
28	** Johnny's Polish VA is the same one as WesternAnimation/HorridHenry's.
29	* ActuallyAGoodIdea: When Johnny comes up with an idea that would let him and his sisters into an ice-cream factory, his sisters initially hear him out only because they wanted to laugh at his plan. They laugh for about a second but then realize his plan was perfect and say the trope name almost word for word.
30	* AffablyEvil: A decent amount of the villains can be surprisingly sociable when they aren't trying to take over Porkbelly or kill Johnny, to the point where they genuinely enjoy competing in Johnny's races and such. Notably Dark Vegan, despite being one of the most evil villains in the series, is more of a BumblingDad when he's not after Johnny's head. Albert is a notable example as well, Justified since as Tim Burnout's butler, Mr. Mittens forces him into his schemes and he genuinely bears no ill will towards Johnny.
31	* AIIsACrapshoot: When Susan and Mary build boy-borgs to make Gil jealous, they become ''very'' possessive of the twins.
32	** Later happens to Johnny's new smartphone in "iJohnny", and the Super Smarty Pants.
33	** Pretty much ''anything'' that the girls make with A.I. will turn evil save for something that Johnny's supposed to immediately break.
34	** Also anything the military makes in Area 51.1, like the look-alike cyborgs in "Johnny Johnny" and the super soldiers in "Johnny X Strikes Back Again".
35	** In Johnny's Super Smart Home, Mary and Susan build a computer that controls every aspect of the Test household, but then it turns against and tries to get rid of them as it views them as inferior to machines.
36	* AirVentPassageway: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]]: "When did your dad install these giant ducts?"
37	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: The Vegans from Vegandon; this, of course, is {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d.
38	* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Repto Slicer likes to chase sticks and rubber balls.
39	** A giant vicious space lizard who tries to eat the kids just wants a belly-rub.
40	* AllJustADream: Rock-A-Bye Johnny.
41	* AlphaBitch: Janet Nelson Jr.
42	* AmbiguouslyBi:
43	** Johnny has displayed many traits of this as he clearly shows attraction towards Sissy and some other girls in the series but his friendship with Dukey can get [[invoked]][[HoYay a little silly]] and the way he behaves towards Gil is also a little weird as he is not repulsed by any of Gil's comments towards him and even agreed to go on a date with Gil, which involved a candlelit dinner.
44	** Dukey has displayed several behaviors that can be considered gay due to his mannerisms, his comments about other guys, and the fact that at one point, he almost humped Johnny's leg. However, he has shown attraction towards Missy and fell in love with a female counterpart version of himself from an alternate reality.
45	** Gil has made several questionable comments and behavior towards Johnny and mostly ignored the advances of Susan and Mary Test but he has shown interest in girls as he went offscreen in a beach episode to apparently flirt with a girl that passed by him and he showed affection towards Jillian Vegan during a sleepover at Johnny's house.
46	* AmbiguouslyGay:
47	** Zizrar The Mole King and The Mole People. Zizrar is dressed mostly in purple clothing while he acts flamboyantly and lisps often. His minions are all male and most of them are dressed up in biker leather and no female members of their species have made onscreen appearances. They never flirt with anyone though.
48	** Nobeard and his merry band of pirates. Many of them are dressed up in CampGay style and their ship is colored pink. They even dream of spending whatever treasure they find on kitchens, classical dance lessons, and tickets to see the opera. They also are afraid of fighting others, especially Blackbeard and his crew and would rather slap their opponents lightly than sword fight them. Nobeard even admits that he is not really interested in pirating but does it because its part of the family business.
49	* AmbiguouslyHuman:
50	** Mr. Black and Mr. White. In their début episode, they had the ability to shoot webs out of their wrists, which heavily implies them to be mutants of some sort. This combined with the fact that they work for a federal agency, along with the fact that the only people they are friends with outside the agency is the test family, shows that Mr. Black and Mr. White's identities are very shady and there is a possibility that they are not even human at all.
51	* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Susan and Mary's shooting skills are consistently depicted as bad, usually leaving Johnny or someone else to operate anything involving projectile weapons.
52	* AndZoidberg
53	-->'''Hugh Test:''' I have such brilliant children! And Johnny.
54	* AnimalSuperheroes: Super Dukey.
55	* AnimalTalk: Dukey can speak to animals regardless of what species they are.
56	* AnimeHair: Johnny himself of course.
57	* ArtEvolution: Season 1 is significantly different compared to the rest of the series, due to the show switching animation studios.
58	** The 2021 revival has streamlined character designs and much more gradients used on the backgrounds. The animation is also noticeably more fluid.
59	* AscendedExtra: Montague Mouse, who debuted as a gag character in a season four episode to playing a part in several episodes later.
60	** Interesting example with Hank Anchorman; he appeared as a one-off character in "Johnny's Pink Plague" in season 1, then became a recurring character ever since "Johnny's Big Snow Job" [[YouDontLookLikeYou with his previous design replaced]] by the anchorman in "Take Your Johnny to Work Day" but with brown hair instead of white, who was also a one-off character. Two one-off anchormen merged into one!
61	* AsideGlance: After Dukey shouts "I LET YOU RIDE ME LIKE A HORSE!", Johnny gives the audience one of these.
62	* AssumingTheAudiencesAge: In "Johnny Hollywood", Johnny and Dukey are trapped in an action movie (through the use of VR helmets created by his genius sisters), and when they realize how the movie's supposed to end (think Thelma & Louise) Dukey screams at Johnny "You couldn't have just stayed home and watched cartoons like normal kids!". [[BreakingTheFourthWall Johnny and Dukey then pause and look at the viewer]] before continuing to panic about getting out of the movie.
63	* AttractiveBentGender: [[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/WFxO5mEqr4g/0.jpg "Too much female growth hormone."]]
64	* AuthorAppeal: Gender-bending and crossdressing (usually of the male-to-female kind) play ''huge'' roles in many episodes.
65	* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: The opening sequence depicts Johnny going through several transformations from his scientist sisters' experiments. One of them turns Johnny into a girl, with an ImpossibleHourglassFigure and growing taller such that his shirt ends above his midriff.
66	* BaseballEpisode: The episode "Johnny Impossible" in which Johnny receives a baseball and bat named "The XMTLH Baseball and Custom Bat" so he can win the baseball game, however while practicing he accidently breaks an old man's window and needs to get the baseball back from said old man before the game starts.
67	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: In "Johnny Gets Mooned", Johnny, Dukey and a Canadian astronaut duo are able to breathe on the moon without any spacesuits or helmets. [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius Sound familiar to anyone?]]
68	* BatmanGambit: A trap set by Dukey to capture Johnny's EvilTwin requires that the Good Twin reveal the trap to the evil one and the evil twin to step contemptuously over the trigger - at which point he steps right into a ''different'' trap.
69	* BeeAfraid: In the episodes "Johnny Bee Good", "Johnny Holiday" and "Irresistible."
70	* BeeBeeGun: The Bee Keeper.
71	* BelligerentSexualTension:
72	** Between Johnny and Sissy.
73	** Dukey and Missy have some of it going on as well.
74	* BestOutOfInfinity: Occurs at the end of "The Enchanted Land of Johnnia" after Johnny and Dukey find out they were actually in a virtual reality game. Johnny's sisters win and Johnny challenges them to rematches twice with the usual "best two out of three" and "best three out of five"... but after he and Dukey win the first time, the girls challenge ''them'' to "best four out of seven." They could've just won the next game to beat Johnny and Dukey's last challenge instead of making it harder for themselves.
75	* BeTheBall: Happens to Johnny in the Turbo Time Rewinder episodes; the person doing it even says the trope's name.
76	* BicolorCowsSolidColorBulls: Cows are brown-and-white. In "Johnny X" his sisters give him hurricane and shapeshifting powers. One of the animals he shapeshifts into is a black bull.
77	* BigNo: E'gads. this is used too. A LOT.
78	* BigRedButton: While controlling a fake monster, Dukey keeps telling Johnny not to push the red buttons they see.
79	* BizarroUniverse: Johnny and Dukey shrunk down beyond the atomic level and arrived in a reversed Porkbelly.
80	** In a later episode they end up in Leadbelly, a genderbent version of Porkbelly where Johnny naturally falls for his female counterpart.
81	* BlahBlahBlah: Johnny does this quite a lot.
82	* {{Blackmail}}: [[{{Pun}} No, not Mr. White]]. Johnny does this to his sisters if they don't need a favor, but he wants something from them.
83	* BlatantLies: Dukey is "a kid with a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrichosis rare hair disorder]]".
84	** "Did I say I was eleven? I meant... eighteen!"
85	* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The members of the Test Family. Johnny & Hugh (blonde), Lila & Dukey (brunette), Susan & Mary (redhead)
86	* BodyHorror: Often the result of Mary and Susan's experiments on Johnny.
87	* {{Bowdlerise}}: As shown in storyboards for "Johnny vs Bling-Bling 3", originally after Lolo tries the Anti-Susan Love Lozenge and goes crazy, she [[https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/051/133/170/large/john-k-lei-jt3-301a-pg277.jpg?1656527767 originally did a]] ThroatSlittingGesture. However in the final episode, this was changed to Lolo simply not making any hand gestures at all.
88	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: A few listings of possible side-effects from tests usually are this.
89	-->'''Mary:''' ...oooor [[YourHeadAsplode your head could explode]].
90	* BrokenGlassPenalty: One episode goes through all the variants of this trope when Johnny accidentally ticks off a [[CrazyCatLady crazy]] man in one episode, and goes through a variety of completely pointless and ever more complex plots to try and get the ball back.
91	* ButtMonkey: Susan, at times.
92	** Eugene (Bling-Bling Boy) is this [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain ALL]] [[invoked]][[TheWoobie THE]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis TIME.]]
93	** Poor, poor Dukey gets it the worst of all of them.
94	* CallingYourAttacks: [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Shapeshifting]] Powers Go!
95	* CanineConfusion: Dukey has been shown to eat chocolate even though chocolate is lethal to dogs. It could be justified since Dukey is an UpliftedAnimal, though.
96	* CaptureBalls: In "Johnny'mon", it's shown that [[{{Phonymon}} Tiny'mon]] are kept inside boxes as opposed to balls.
97	* CardCarryingVillain: All of them.
98	* CashLure: Used in "Johnny Bench" where Johnny uses twenty bucks tied to a string to lure Bumper out of the woodshop class so that he can use his bench to trick Mr. Teacherman that he made that bench but he then saw what he did to it by using someone else's bench, causing the plan to backfire as he has to make a bench made entirely by him or else he will go to summer school.
99	* CatchPhrase: Multiple. Includes "Whooooa... DidntSeeThatComing", "Ooh, so close," and "Say wha?"
100	** Susan and Mary: "We're such geniuses."
101	** Everyone in the Test household at one time or another: "To the lab!"
102	** "Did that dog just talk?" "No!"
103	* CatsAreMean
104	* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: "Johnny Johnny"
105	* CharacterInTheLogo: Johnny's silhouette appears in the "O" in the word "Johnny" in the show's logo.
106	* ChekhovsGun: The incinerator that Janitor Dukey uses to burn trash throughout "Johnny Bench". Guess how they stop the rampaging turbo-wood-bench.
107	--> '''Johnny:''' Incinerator! Coooooool. Can we burn something?\
108	'''Dukey:''' Maybe later.
109	** There was also Hugh's terrible cookies in "Johnny's Amazing Cookie Company", in which Johnny mentioned tasted worse than dirt; later on, when warthogs attack Porkbelly, the gang uses the cookies to send them back to eating dirt in the desert, which again, tastes better.
110	* ChildHater: Wacko, who is ironically a toymaker for children. The products he usually builds are designed to get them out of his life.
111	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Remember Janet Nelson Jr.? Nobody in Porkbelly seems to.
112	** Also used with Tim Burnout for awhile, but he has returned twice.
113	** BBB's Cyborg lady-servants Ms. X and Ms. Z. Last seen delivering Baby Bling Bling to the Test house.
114	** The Beekeeper hasn’t appeared since Season 3.
115	* CityOfAdventure: Porkbelly.
116	* ClockworkPrediction: In "Stinkin Johnny", After a scheme to win a TV through a wrestling contest goes awry that involves their mother having to save them. Johnny, Susan and Mary are later grounded and barred from TV and the lab. They decide to play some baseball instead, but Johnny hits the ball too hard and breaks a window and the TV they had just brought. He then counts down before their parents are yelling for them.
117	* CloneDegeneration: The reason why robotic clones of Johnny do not obey commands.
118	* ComedicUnderwearExposure: In the episode "Johnny Fu", Johnny blows Bumper Randalls' clothes off, leaving him only in his underpants in public.
119	* ContinuityNod: In the episode "Who's Johnny?", before the final sequence returning Johnny to his original personality, Johnny changes personalities contained in his genetic code every time he gets hit; one personality he gets is of a dog, with the same design when the girls altered his DNA to make him a dog in an early episode.
120	** The series as a whole, for all of its lazy writing, actually did have a loose continuity, though some elements (such as Brain Freezer's HeelFaceTurn) were subject to StatusQuoIsGod.
121	* CouchGag: The 2021 reboot does this at the end of the theme song. When Johnny gets zapped one last time, it showcases the episode title and Johnny (and sometime other characters) in outfits, in transformed states or having objects related to the episode.
122	* CowardlyLion: Dukey.
123	* {{Crossdresser}}:
124	** In Episode 41a: "Join the Johnny Scouts", Johnny becomes a Girl Scout and tries to sell 1,000 boxes of cookies to get a new bike. His father is clearly uncomfortable with this and Johnny tells him that "you said you'd love me and accept me no matter what", but he is using this situation to bribe his father into buying the last 37 boxes of cookies.
125	** Gil also buys a box of cookies because: "I hate those cookies, but I love you Bro-man!".
126	** He asks Johnny earlier in the scene what's different about him. Johnny deadpans "I'm a ''girl''.", and Gil goes "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Nooo, that's not it]]."
127	** He also does it in "Take Your Johnny to Work Day" and does so again in "Johnny Dodgeball", albeit that time it was reluctantly.
128	** Also in the episode where Mr. Mittens was introduced and Johnny and Dukey were tricked into it.
129	** Not that other characters don't do it too. Let's see, Dukey's done it, Gil's done it, Mr. Black's done it, etc...
130	* DeadpanSnarker: Dukey, Jillian.
131	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: "Johnny Swellville" when Johnny and Dukey are in the 50s.
132	* DemotedToExtra: Janet Nelson Junior was Johnny's supposed {{love interest\|s}} in the first season until Sissy Blakely came along. Last seen as a background character in Season 2 before disappearing altogether after that season.
133	* DependingOnTheWriter: Can apply to many members of the cast, particularly secondary characters. Mr. Teacherman, Johnny's teacher, can either be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who is only hard on Johnny because he wants him to succeed, or a SadistTeacher who will do anything to make Johnny get into summer school.
134	* DestinationRuse: In "Bathtime for Johnny", Johnny refuses to take a bath. His mom convinces him to go in the car under the pretext of going to a toy store, but she actually brings him to a car wash, which she drives through with the car's hood down. Despite this, she fails to clean Johnny up, as he surrounded himself with umbrellas.
135	* DestroyTheSecurityCamera: In the episode "Johnny Escape From Bling-Bling Island", Bling-Bling does this when he realizes there is a video camera recording him breaking into the lab and stealing Susan's shoes.
136	* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Brain Freezer in the WackyRacing episode. His racing partner asks why they are doing this when their car is literally the fastest one in the race.
137	* DidntSeeThatComing: Parodied in the form of a RunningGag. You can hear the line in almost every toon, usually after some form of "plot twist."
138	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Along with the above, alot of the sheninagans happens because Johnny or the Twins (or both) don't have the foresight to think of the bad sides to a lot of their plans.
139	* DisappearedDad: Not once has Bling Bling's dad been mentioned.
140	* DistaffCounterpart: The whole show, to ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''; Red-haired geniuses, blonde sibling breaking experiments, etc; even the parents on both shows somehow look alike, especially the dad.
141	** This could be because Chris Savino, who was the main director for seasons 3 and 4 of ''Dexter's Laboratory'', worked on ''Johnny Test''.
142	* TheDitz: Gil.
143	* DoubleDoubleTitle: The episode "Johnny Johnny".
144	* TheDragAlong: Dukey.
145	* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Susan and Mary want Johnny to invite Gil over for a sleepover so that they can kiss him while he sleeps; on a similar note, Bling Bling insists that Johnny invite him as well so he can kiss Susan while she sleeps.
146	* DumbBlonde: Gil.
147	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Season 1 is a foreign planet compared to the rest of the show. It was the only season to be traditionally animated, the infamous whipcrack sound effect is nowhere to be heard, the voice acting is a lot more relaxed, the background tracks aren't repetitive, and the theme song is completely different.
148	** It was also the only season to be produced in-house at Warner Bros. Animation.
149	** Throughout the first season, Janet Nelson Jr. was portrayed as Johnny's love interest. Her role was then replaced with Sissy afterwards.
150	** The first episode implies Dukey was actually once a human turned into a talking dog by Susan and Mary. Later episodes established he was adopted from the pound and given genetic enhancements to talk.
151	* EatingTheEnemy:
152	** In the episode "Tom and Johnny", Johnny's sisters [[ForcedTransformation turn Johnny into a mouse]] by cashing in one of their experiment coupons for an experiment. Unfortunately [[CatsAreMean Mr. Mittens]] crashes in and freezes Mary, Susan, and Dukey. And upon realizing Johnny is a mouse, Mr. Mittens then spends the whole episode trying to catch and eat him while Johnny constantly foils him ''[[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Jerry-style.]]''
153	** In the episode "Johnny Trick or Treat", Dark Vegan tries to destroy Johnny with traps he set in a haunted house. Unbeknownst to him, his daughter Jillian is with them dressed as a ghost. Eventually they run into a giant worm monster that sucks them up, but not before it sucks off Jillian's bed sheet. Dark Vegan then has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment and rushes down to save his daughter. Fortunately, Johnny is able to tickle the monster's insides with pillow feathers until they're coughed up. Dark Vegan then repays them by getting them to the Halloween Costume Party before it ends.
154	* EpisodeTitleCard
155	* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Zizrar plots to steal the Porkbelly Library, he send the authorities a letter warning them about what he's doing after the setup is complete because although he wants to make the humans stupid, he doesn't want to hurt anybody.
156	* EverybodyLaughsEnding: A number of episodes, but the third season ending is notable for the villain of the piece joining in the laughter until he [[LampshadeHanging lampshades it]]. Then he swears revenge.
157	* EvilLaugh - Both Johnny and Susan used one at certain times; a person whom the SSGA is monitoring has one as well.
158	** Mary also used one in "Johnny Susan Susan Johnny".
159	* ExpositoryThemeTune
160	* {{Expy}}: A parody of WebVideo/{{Fred}} appears in "Johnny Tube", involving the characters trying to find instant fame from posting videos online like him after seeing him become rich and get a movie; in the end, they see the character's movie is terrible because its only gimmick was he had a squeaky voice.
161	* FacePalm: Dukey does this. A lot.
162	* FailedASpotCheck: In "Johnny's Royal Flush", Johnny is turned into a fish, and goes to sleep in his bowl just as Hugh bursts in to vacuum. Evidently, he fails to hear the fish snoring, as he chides Johnny for “not takin care of it” and tosses the fish down the toilet.
163	* FakedFoodContaminant: In "Bugged Out Johnny", Johnny finds out that he can get a refund for purchased food if a bug is found in it, so he keeps putting bugs into the food he buys so that he can use the money for other purposes. Eventually, Johnny runs out of bugs and tries to use a ladybug from Susan and Mary's lab, but it turns out to have an enormous appetite due to experimentation and needs to be stopped before it eats all the town's plants.
164	* FantasticVoyagePlot: See IncredibleShrinkingMan entry below.
165	* TheFatEpisode: Happens to Johnny in "Phat Johnny" where he uses his excess poundage to become a rapper.
166	* FeminineWomenCanCook: In the episode "Johnny Daddy Day", it is shown that Johnny's [[{{Workaholic}} super-busy working mom]] Lila and [[TeenGenius genius inventor sisters]] Mary and Susan have no experience in cooking whatsoever. They aren't even sure what a spatula is or does. Under the guidance of Johnny (who took a cooking class to get an easy A grade), they manage to make a meatloaf for Hugh for Father's Day, only for it to [[LethalChef come alive and attack him]].
167	--> '''Mary and Susan:''' We... might have used too much DNA.
168	* [[PoliceAreUseless Fighter Pilots are Useless:]] When Sky Brigade appears to solve whatever problem is terrorizing Porkbelly in their [[CoolPlane Stealth Jets]], they usually either retreat because they can't deal with the situation, or [[RedShirtArmy get shot down]] by whatever happens to be the MonsterOfTheWeek.
169	* FictionalHoliday: Johnny, Dukey, and the twins decide to create a new candy-giving summer holiday to fill in the dry spell of free candy between Easter and Halloween. After many failed attempts, they finally succeed and create [[spoiler:Bee Happy Day, where [[HeelFaceTurn the newly allied Beekeeper]] has his swarm of bees deliver Piles o' Honey bars around the world for people to enjoy]].
170	* FluffyDryCat: This happened to Dukey after he fails to thwart an evil pair of paints who have taken over the titular character's mind.
171	* FMinusMinus: "Extra Credit Johnny" and Johnny's Z-, and later ZZ-.
172	* FourFingeredHands: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] two different times. Once when Susan waved her pinky around when trying to indicate the number four on one hand and other when the General up another finger on the other hand to represent the number three.
173	* FreakyFridayFlip: Hugh and Johnny complain that the other has an easier life so to prove it, they switch bodies with Mary and Susan's help; at the end of the episode, after they've learned how hard each others' lives are and switch back, Susan and Lila get into the same fight and switch places as well.
174	* FreezeFrameBonus: The episode “Johnny Mustache” credits the director of in universe movie “The Beast” as Larry Jacobs, a [[CreatorCameo real director for the show]].
175	* FriendlyEnemy: Johnny is on surprisingly good terms with his RoguesGallery when they're not trying to destroy him. GoKartingWithBowser examples aside, he's also gone to them for help now and again. Bling Bling Boy once mentioned that he liked Johnny, seeing a lot of himself in the boy. And then there's the time Johnny tried to get Brain Freezer a girlfriend.
176	* FreudianTrio:
177	** Johnny: Id (the reckless one)
178	** Dukey: Superego (the sane one)
179	** Susan & Mary: Ego (the experimenters)
180	* GarrulousGrowth: In the episode "Johnny's Got a... Wart!", Johnny develops a huge wart on his hand from numerous activities involving warts. The girls try to remove it, only to accidentally give it sentience. The wart at first makes Johnny's life better at school, but later tries to take over his body, but is thwarted by Dukey and spends his days living in Johnny's locker.
181	* GenderBender: Quite a lot, even from the very first episode where Susan and Mary have him test 'Hottie Body flakes' which turns him into an attractive teenage girl for a few seconds before turning into a giant ugly girl monster.
182	** The next time it was so prominent was when the girls deliberately turn their brother and dog into muscular twenty-something Roller Derby competitors. The device was even called the gender bender.
183	* GenderFlip: It's been described as "''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' but with the genders reversed. Also there's a dog."
184	* GeneralRipper: Played for comedy. The General ''really'' likes missiles.
185	-->'''Johnny:''' The military would ''never'' fire at us in a heavily-populated area! \
186	'''General:''' FIRE ON THE HEAVILY-POPULATED AREA! [[MacrossMissileMassacre * missiles* ]]
187	* GenreSavvy: But often too late for Johnny.
188	** When did we land in a bad [decade] [genre] [medium]?
189	** When Johnny and Dukey are transported into a fantasy story and called [[TheChosenOne Chosen Ones]], Johnny reassures Dukey that they'll win because Chosen Ones always win; subverted when it turns out to be a simulation and they were playing against Susan and Mary, but he gets points for trying.
190	* GettingSickDeliberately: In "Johnnyitis", Johnny consumes an isotope to poison himself so that he won't have to take a test that he neglected to study for. However, this backfires when it's revealed that if he's not cured within four hours, he'll explode and die.
191	* GlacialApocalypse: In "Johnny Degrees Below Zero", Johnny and Dukey take a MagnetismManipulation gun too far and cause Earth to realign, making their hometown Porkbelly the new North Pole. As piles of snow start falling and SantaClaus moves in, they must urgently set out to restore Earth's alignment before the town freezes to death.
192	* GoKartingWithBowser: The Test siblings regularly engage in various forms of races with [[AnIcePerson Brain Freezer]], [[CatsAreMean Mr. Mittens]], [[EvilOverlord Dark Vegan]], and [[LargeHam Bling-Bling Boy]]. The prize? Being able to [[AWinnerIsYou call yourself Super Champion of the World]].
193	* GottaPassTheClass: In "Johnny Bench", Johnny joins wood shop to improve his grades to avoid getting sent to summer school.
194	* GreenGators: The SewerGator from "Johnny's Royal Flush" is bright green.
195	* GroundedForever: Johnny's dad threatens to ground Johnny and his sisters FOREVER! One of the sisters reminds him that he can't ground them past 18, [[VerbalBackspace so he says he'll ground them UNTIL 18]].
196	* GroupieBrigade: In the episode "Phat Johnny", Johnny gets mauled by a horde of screaming fangirls at the height of his popularity as a rapper.
197	* GuineaPigFamily
198	* HarmlessVillain: Bling-Bling Boy.
199	** Dark Vegan was a serious threat in his first and second appearance, but later [[VillainDecay got downgraded into this.]] [[invoked]][[FridgeBrilliance It's not surprising]] given how he no longer has an invasion fleet to command.
200	* HartmanHips: Sissy. You wouldn't really notice it the first time you look at her.
201	** Johnny when he's turned into a girl for a few seconds in the 1st season intro and the first episode.
202	* HeelFaceTurn: Bee Keeper in the holiday episode.
203	** Also Bling-Bling Boy whenever Susan is in danger.
204	** Brain Freezer seems to have dropped his evil ways since taking a level in handsomeness. He later returned to them because StatusQuoIsGod.
205	* HeterosexualLifePartners:
206	** Johnny and Dukey are clearly an example of this as they hang out with each other a lot and consider each other to be best friends
207	** Mr. Black and Mr. White although the heterosexual part can reach very low points at times.
208	* HistoricalDomainCrossover: Johnny brought back several historical figures, including Attila the Hun and a caveman, to create the most powerful hockey team.
209	* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: When traveling back in time, a woolly mammoth becomes enamored with Dukey. A later episode plays the trope closer to its namesake as a sperm whale has a crush on Dukey as well.
210	* {{Homage}}: ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' and ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' have been parodied. The latter of the two has Johnny repeatedly [[LampShadeHanging lampshading]] the fact with "I know I've seen this before!".
211	** Nevermind that Johnny X and Super Dukey's outfits have similar colour schemes to Blue Falcon and Dynomutt.
212	** ''Franchise/StarWars'', of all things, has also been parodied via the terrifying villain, Dark VEGAN. Funnily enough, he's voiced by [[Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor Obi-Wan]] [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Kenobi]].
213	** Don't forget the {{Homage}} to ''Film/MenInBlack'' with Mr. Black and Mr. White.
214	** "Johnny Cart Racing" is a homage to ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'', complete with the villain team (Brain Freezer and Mr. Mittens in place of Dick Dastardly and Muttley) stopping when in the lead to try and keep the others from finishing with nefarious schemes. This was also lampshaded by an increasingly frustrated Mr. Mittens.
215	** As well as the old Wile E. Coyote cartoons, with Johnny and Dukey as the Roadrunner(s) and Eugene as the Coyote.
216	** The episode "Old School Johnny" parodies the [[Film/BackToTheFuture1 first]] ''and'' the [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII third]] ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' movies.
217	** "Sleepover at Johnny's" referenced the works of Creator/DrSeuss.
218	** [[WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas Good Old Johnny Test]]
219	* HumiliationConga: Bling Bling gets one in "Johnny Cruise". After his plan to get Susan [[GoneHorriblyWrong Goes Horribly Wrong]] and nearly gets everyone killed (which was pretty unhinged to begin with, even for him), Johnny forces him to personally perform every job on the entire cruise for his family in a rather humiliating manner. However, in this case, it was well deserved.
220	* HypocriticalHumor: While using a machine that turns base metals into gold, Hugh Test yells at the girls for inventing such a device.
221	* IJustWantToBeNormal: The reason [[spoiler:Princess Mirabelle]] goes missing.
222	* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Dukey tries to reach the uncorrupted part of Johnny's brain after the Super Smarty Pants have taken most of Johnny's brain over.
223	* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Inverted.
224	-->'''Susan:''' What does she have that we don't?\
225	'''Johnny:''' A gorgeous face, a perfect tan and strong white teeth.\
226	'''Susan:''' Hey! We have... strong white teeth!
227	* AnIcePerson: Brain Freezer.
228	* IdenticalStranger: Johnny looks exactly like Princess Mirabelle, so the SSGA gets [[{{Crossdresser}} him to take her place]] when the princess goes missing.
229	* {{Identical Twin ID Tag}}s: Susan and Mary's hairstyles and glasses.
230	* IdiotHero: {{Averted\|Trope}}. Johnny actually isn't that stupid... just really, really immature. He usually can outsmart his sisters/parents if sufficiently motivated; his sisters even comment in one episode that he's actually pretty smart.
231	* IncestSubtext: Mary gives Johnny quite an infatuated look after they make him into a pheromone-ridden stud magnet. "You really are adorable, Johnny."
232	* InfectionScene: In "Johnny's Got A... Wart!", Johnny heads off to school, only to find a huge wart on his hand, and he and Dukey discuss all the events that could've lead to its formation. Respectively, the events recalled are Johnny juggling toads and touching his eyeballs at the same time, kissing a warthog, and receiving a lollipop from a witch in a gingerbread house. Johnny says [[BlatantLies nothing comes to mind]].
233	* InsanelyInternationalAncestry: According to "Who's Johnny?", the Test family apparently have a rich bloodline, since Mary and Susan's Personality Twister also makes Johnny a different race (like British, Spanish, etc). [[invoked]][[FridgeLogic And somehow also has dog ancestry.]]
234	* InsistentTerminology: Early on the series, Eugene kept demanding that he be called Bling-Bling Boy. In later episodes, though, he dropped this, most likely because he realized no one would ever call him Bling-Bling Boy.
235	* InTheFutureWeStillHaveRoombas: The many varieties of robots Susan and Mary create.
236	* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Down past atoms into a BizarroUniverse.
237	* InsideAComputerSystem
238	* InsistentTerminology: Bling-Bling Boy does not like being addressed by his real name, Eugene.
239	* IntellectualAnimal: Dukey.
240	* IronicEcho: Johnny makes a speech to guilt Dukey into going on a field trip because Johnny needs parental supervision to go; Dukey then uses almost the exact same speech to get Johnny to help free some animals later in the episode.
241	* ItTastesLikeFeet: [[LethalChef Johnny's dad]] was experimenting with healthy cookies and had Johnny try one. Johnny proclaims that the cookies taste like dirt. Johnny's Dad then produces a plate of dirt and [[AbusiveParents insists that Johnny eat some for comparison]]. Johnny does and [[InsultToRocks apologizes for saying the cookies taste like dirt, because the dirt tastes better.]]
242	* KentBrockmanNews: Hank Anchorman.
243	* KidAnova: So far, the 11 year old Johnny has managed to charm the class tomboy, the school's [[AlphaBitch queen bee]], an alien RebelliousPrincess five years older than him, and a cute DaddysLittleVillain [[spoiler:(literally, since she turned out to be the villain, not her dad)]]. And possibly [[invoked]][[HoYay Gil]].
244	* KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms: Johnny and Dukey, after several attempts, get an M-rated game; [[spoiler:they get nightmares after they play it.]]
245	* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine Johnny's sisters wear lab coats.
246	* LaboriousLaces: Gil joins an effort to save Johnny as a return favor for telling him his shoe was untied.
247	* LampshadeHanging: Consistently applied. Particularly in the episodes that spoof various Hanna-Barbera toons.
248	-->'''Johnny:''' I ''know'' I've seen this somewhere before.
249	* LargeHam: So many. Johnny, Dukey, Bling Bling Boy, Brain Freezer just to name a few.
250	** [[WorldOfHam Easier just to say everyone in the whole show]].
251	* LaserGuidedKarma: To the point where there is [[InWhichATropeIsDescribed an episode about it]].
252	* LawOfDisproportionateResponse: Dukey dumps large amounts of water onto a neighbor's cats because one of them scratched him the other day; of course, Dukey's [[AnimalJingoism a dog so he feels disliking cats is part of his job.]]
253	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "I'm telling ya, I've seen this somewhere before!". Said by Johnny in the ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' and ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry''-inspired episodes.
254	* SorryILeftTheBGMOn: Done in "Tom & Johnny", with the home network music player providing the musical background for the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry''-inspired antics.
255	* LethalChef: Hugh Test.
256	** Subverted in that he does seem to be competent, as long he avoids experiments and meatloaf; sadly, he loves meatloaf...
257	*** He once made "Healthy" cookies that Johnny claimed "Taste like dirt". Hugh asks for proof and presents Johnny a plate of dirt. He obliges and corrects himself that "Dirt tastes better"
258	** Johnny seems to believe 'Mint Chip' ice cream is made of Mint, potato chips, rocks and salt (instead of rock salt).
259	** In "Johnny Daddy Day", the rest of the Test family manage to become these. (see the FeminineWomenCanCook entry above)
260	* LethalJokeItem: In a fighting game called [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Sacred Sword IV]], there is a JokeItem called the building block sword that Dukey claims is powerful if you know how to use it; [[SubvertedTrope Dukey, however, does not]] but Johnny, through the course of the episode does figure it out and defeats Sissy Blakely with it.
261	* LimitedAnimation: After Season 1, and it gets worse from there.
262	* LiteralAssKicking: How Johnny catches his foot in "Johnny's Left Foot"
263	* LiteralSplitPersonality: Susan and Mary remove Johnny's negative brain plasma and it grows into an EvilTwin
264	* LongRunners: By the standards of Cartoon Network, at least. Six seasons long, and the first show ever on Cartoon Network to come close to cracking 200 episodes.
265	* LoopholeAbuse: In the first episode Dukey points out to Johnny that Hugh told him "touch [his camera] and die", after which Johnny states he's not ''physically'' touching it, since he's operating it using a stick.
266	* LostAesop: "There's a lesson in all this, but ''darn'' if I know what it is."
267	* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Mary and Susan, when it comes to Gil; Smartpants when it comes to Johnny.
268	** Also this exchange from the episode "Johnny Cruise", after Eugene reveals his plan to deliberately sail a cruise ship full of passengers into an iceberg so that he can heroically and romantically rescue Susan as it sinks:
269	--> '''Johnny:''' ''Are you nuts?!''\
270	'''Eugene:''' Close, I'm in love.
271	* MachineMonotone: {{Double Subverted\|Trope}} in "The Dog Days of Johnny" where Susan and Mary fit Dukey with a brainwashing collar that sways his will much more towards their whims than his own or Johnny's without taking it away completely. However, when he persists in desiring to sleep in their room rather than Johnny's, they fire an "Obey" override that forces their will over his, signified by... well, this trope.
272	* MadScientist: Mary and Susan, Bling-Bling Boy, Brain Freezer
273	* MadeOfExplodium: The [[TemptingFate non-explosive]] water snake and when racing Johnny through the woods, [[spoiler:the stuff Susan and Mary make out of natural things.]]
274	* MamaBear: Lila Test.
275	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Lila and Hugh Test. Lila is the one who has a job and makes the money for the family while Hugh is basically the spouse who stays at home and does all the chores that are considered housewife work as he does all the cooking and cleaning. However this trope only applies to their occupations as Hugh still considers himself man of the house and is very strict towards his children while Lila still shows mother like qualities towards her children.
276	* MeaningfulName: Hank Anchorman is [[KentBrockmanNews the local news anchorman]].
277	* TheMenInBlack: Mr. Black & Mr. White, two guys in suits who work for Area 51.1 and often (try to) assist in stopping the threats that the Test family frequently unleash upon Porkbelly.
278	* MidBattleTeaBreak: While "playing" a game of Uncle where each person beats the hell out of the other to get them to say "Uncle", Johnny, Dukey, Susan and Mary stop in the middle to have snacks.
279	* MisspellingOutLoud: In "Johnny's Super Smarty Pants", the title character is in a SpellingBee and is asked to spell "go". He spells it "G-E-A-U-X".
280	* MonsterRoommate: Johnny shares his bedroom with Dukey, who is an ordinary dog but Susan and Mary gave him the ability to speak and think on human levels.
281	* MooseAndMapleSyrup: The moon episode and "Johnny Mustache" indulge a bit in the trope, with Johnny encountering Canadian astronauts who constantly say "Eh" in the former and meeting Mounties in the latter.
282	* MysteryMeat: Johnny's dad's horrible meat loaf recipes. Doesn't just serve meatloaf by itself, he also serves it in burritos, tacos, etc. Every proclamation of Mr. Test's meatloaf for dinner is met with screams of horror from his family.
283	** One episode hints that there isn't anything in there that can be remotely called meat. He doesn't seem to try and hide that either.
284	* NegativeContinuity: The continuity of this show is little to none to say the least. Many episodes end with either Porkbelly and/or the Test house being ruined or destroyed but they appear fine by the next episode. There is the occasional ContinuityNod but even then they sometimes create contradictions such as when Dark Vegan and his armada start hurting the Earth in the season 3 finale but in a later episode, Johnny is blamed for it by his family.
285	* NerdInEvilsHelmet: Dark Vegan comes off as a parody of this.
286	* NeverSayDie:
287	** Played straight for the most part, but weirdly averted in "Johnny's Royal Flush" where [[spoiler:a gator is heavily implied to have been chopped up in Porkbelly's sewer system and turned into luggage]].
288	** The actual word "die" - not to mention the word "kill" - is averted, however. Johnny's enemies always wants to "destroy" him.
289	** What about in "Deep Sea Johnny" when [[spoiler:it was implied that the octopus was killed and served as sushi]]?
290	** Also in "Johnny Testosterone" Mary and Susan mention their dad will kill them if anything bad happened with Johnny.
291	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: At least half or more of the problems in the series were caused by Johnny, one of his sisters' inventions GoneHorriblyWrong (or [[GoneHorriblyRight right]]) or a combination of the two; in "Johnny Test in Black and White", the General explicitly states that the Test siblings have caused more damage to Porkbelly than [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking floods, earthquakes, and summer music festivals.]]
292	* NicheNetwork: "The Nutz Channel. We're all nuts, all the time."
293	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bill Humanguy sounds like Creator/WilliamShatner
294	** King Rummytumtumtum Sounds like Creator/ChristopherWalken
295	* NoIndoorVoice: Seriously. In later seasons, the characters yell ''frequently.'' [[JustifiedTrope To be fair]], would you calm down if the Earth's rotation stopped or a villain tries to turn every creature into cats?
296	* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Speed [=McCool=] and his sidekick Monkey look jarringly more realistic than the other characters.
297	* NoodleIncident: Several. Occasionally used as {{Blackmail}} by Johnny or a reason they can't do an experiment without getting in trouble with Dad. For example, experiments somehow resulted in a gigantic Johnny bursting out of the roof of the Test house and shooting lasers from its eyes...''twice''.
298	* NotSoForgottenBirthday: "Bathtime for Johnny" has Johnny refusing to clean himself, while the subplot is Dukey being sad over Johnny overfocusing on that and not even acknowledging his birthday. At the end of the episode, Johnny haggles with his family to get clean in exchange for letting him build something in the house, which turns out to be [[spoiler:an indoor water park for Dukey]].
299	* ObliviousToLove: Gil in regards to Mary and Susan.
300	* ObviouslyEvil: One shot character Larius Nefarious; hell, it's the whole reason the SSGA decide to investigate him. [[spoiler:As it turns out, ''his daughter'' was the evil one.]]
301	* OnlySaneMan: Dukey
302	* OurVampiresAreDifferent:in Fangs a Lot Johnny, Susan and Mary transform into vampires in order to impress Gil. They wear gothic black dresses, their eyes turn a cat-like green, and they glitter in the sunlight.
303	* OutlandishDeviceSetting: ** The episode "Johnny Bench" has Johnny being assigned by Mr. Teacherman to build a bench in woodshop, only for Johnny to refuse to make it himself because of his dislike of Teacherman and being told what to do. Instead, he gets Susan and Mary's construction drones to build a hi-tech bench that by his own words will "make Teacherman freak out and give him an A". However, the drones [[LiteralMinded take this description too literally]] and include a setting called "Freak Out Teacher Mode" ("F.O.T." for short, the drones tried to mention it and all the bench's other features to Johnny, but he was too eager to hand it in to listen), which turns the bench into a killer robot that Johnny and Dukey have to stop from hunting down and killing Teacherman.
304	** The episode "Johnnysicle" has Brain Freezer's freeze ray, whose settings range from -20 degrees, to -40 degrees, to "Nor-Easter".
305	* OvenLogic: In "Johnny Bench", Johnny takes Home Ec when trying to get an A in a class. He's next shown putting a mixer on high speed in an attempt to speed up the process when the teacher said to put it on medium, resulting in a mess and no A grade.
306	* OverTheTopRollerCoaster: Subverted in "Johnnyland". Johnny wants to get into a roller coaster, and waits literally 12 hours to ride it. When his turn finally arrives, the roller coaster is so tall that it goes into the atmosphere, but when he falls the ride abruptly stops at the bottom of the peak and nothing else happens.
307	-->'''Johnny:''' That's it?
308	* OverusedRunningGag: "Whooooa, DidntSeeThatComing."
309	* PackedHero: Subverted. Johnny and his friends visit an ice cream factory, and Johnny's dog is thought to have fallen into the vat and been packed into a tin. After Johnny eats his way through the entire batch, the dog walks up to him and asks Johnny what he's doing.
310	* PaintedTunnelRealTrain: In "Johnny vs. Bling Bling 3", with [[ShoutOut Shout-Outs]] to old [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Road Runner]] cartoons.
311	* PapaWolf: Hugh Test.
312	* ParkingProblems: The sisters' van is towed for parking in front of a fire hydrant.
313	* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish:
314	** Passwords set by Susan and Mary always include Gil's name.
315	** In the episode, "Johnny Escape from Bling-Bling Island", the password to one of the locks is "Susan".
316	** Apparently Mary and Susan realized this, because in another episode they changed the password(s). Yet Johnny, and even Lila, were able to figure it out, and it still involves Gil.
317	* PhraseCatcher: "Whoa. Didn't see that coming." Dukey lampshaded this at least once.
318	* PlotParallel: ''Dawg & Bone''.
319	-->'''Johnny:''' [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs Who would ever watch]] [[HypocriticalHumor such a ridiculous cartoon?]]
320	* PowersAsPrograms: Johnny's ever-changing mutant powers.
321	** Among them: [[KillItWithFire Flaming]] [[{{Fartillery}} Power Poots]], [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Shapeshifting powers (GO!)]], and [[BlowYouAway Hurricane Hands]].
322	** "Teleporting is FUN!"
323	* PragmaticVillainy: The villains teamed up with Johnny Test in the SeriesFauxnale only because [[EvilVersusOblivion they can't take over the world if there's no world]].
324	* ProfessorGuineaPig: Johnny, a rare ''voluntary'' example, and Dukey, rather less so. It's a fair exchange, since Johnny volunteers in return for getting his sisters to make him whatever gizmo he wants at the time. [[RecycledINSPACE So it's like]] ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', [[RecycledINSPACE only that Johnny actually does something to earn his wishes]].
325	* ProtagonistTitle: Main character Johnny Test shares his name with the show.
326	* ProjectileToast: In "Johnny vs. Smash Badger 3", Johnny accidentally brings a VideoGame/CrashBandicoot parody to life, who uses Johnny's toaster to shoot [[IncendiaryExponent flaming]] toast.
327	* PstandardPsychicPstance: Johnny uses this when wearing a helmet [[RealityWarper designed to telekinetically turn objects into weapons]].
328	* ProWrestlingEpisode: In Stinkin Johnny Johnny enters a wrestling tournament in order to get enough money to buy a new hd tv after he broke the old one.
329	* PullThePlugOnTheTitle: The opening sequence includes a short scene of Johnny and Duke rocking. It ends with Duke jamming his guitar, fireworks exploding, and a yellow, glowing, multi-bulb sign that reads "Johnny Test". Johnny's sisters pull down a lever to reveal the show's logo.
330	* {{Pun}}: The Bee Keeper's and Brain Freezer's puns related to bees ("''Bee'' afraid! ''Bee'' very afraid!") and cold ("Time to ''chill'' out!"), respectively. The latter is most likely a reference to Mr. Freeze from ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''.
331	* PunnyName: Mary and Susan... Johnny TEST?
332	* PuppyDogEyes: Used by Johnny on his family to go to a ski resort. Used by a whole bunch of kids including Johnny on a ski captain but it is subverted when "The Look" doesn't work.
333	* ThePsychoRangers: The Johnny Stopping Evil Force 5.
334	* QuarterHourShort: The 2021 revival shortens the series from its original two-segment half-hour format to a single-segment quarter hour, to mirror Cartoon Network's switch to airing its episodes that way since 2010.
335	* QuiveringLip: in early episodes the titular character would use this method to guilt trip his parents into buying him what he wants.
336	* RecycledInSPACE: The show's core set-up is basically a [[GenderSwap gender swapped]] ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' from Dee Dee's point of view; the parents' basic personalities seem to be gender swapped from that show as well.
337	* RedEyesTakeWarning: The Boy-borgs and Gil.
338	* RefugeeFromTVLand: Dawg and Bone from "Johnny Re-Animated".
339	* {{Revenge}}: A lot of Johnny's enemies are obsessed with getting revenge on him. And less on their own schemes. And most of their revenges are for their previous revenges being foiled by Johnny himself.
340	* ReversePolarity: Averted when Johnny uses a fruit revitalization ray to bring back Porkbelly's founding fathers as zombies because the ray only works on people halfway. Susan reverses the polarity on the ray to de-animate the founding fathers but it doesn't work because they're already sort of dead.
341	* RightOnTheTick: Subverted, as it wasn't really the start of summer vacation.
342	* RubeGoldbergDevice: Dukey builds one of these to trap Johnny's EvilTwin. Subverted when the EvilTwin figures out the trap and steps over the trigger... into the actual trap which is a covered hole in the ground.
343	* RudeHeroNiceSidekick: Johnny is an AnnoyingYoungerSibling who [[NiceJobBreakingItHero breaks it]] OnceAnEpisode, though his more reasonable sidekick dog Dukey tries to get him to avoid doing so (and usually fails).
344	* RumpRoast: One of the actions when Smarty Pants gets jealous about Johnny seeing other girls is that they get so hot in the rear area that Johnny has to jump out of them.
345	* RunningGag: Dukey is stated to have money saved up 'for a rainy day.' It's referenced commonly enough to be used as a plot point every now and then. Just ''how much'' he has saved up tends to vary wildly, though.
346	* SarcasticConfession: Hugh Test angrily demands to know if Johnny lost his phone, so Susan tells their dad that they're looking for Johnny's phone with baseball bats because they want to smash it before it takes over the world. Which they are.
347	* ScrewYourself: In the episode "Johnny Alternative", it's strongly implied that Johnny has fallen in love with what is obviously a female version of himself.
348	* SelfDeprecation: "The Nightmare House! Super funny ending not included."
349	** Though that seems more like "you TOO can have this nightmare house, but it won't come with the SUPER FUNNY ENDING we have here!"
350	* SelectiveObliviousness: Hugh Test clearly chooses to ignore the fact that nobody likes his cooking, regardless of horror struck faces, audible gagging, running to vomit and being told to his face that his cooking is awful. The most he ever said about people opinion of his food is "I'm beginning to think you people don't like my meatloaf."
351	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Johnny (macho) and Dukey (sensitive).
352	* ShipperOnDeck: In the episode "Big Sister Smackdown", Johnny supports Gil x Susan, while Dukey ships Gil x Mary. It's implied they're just egging the argument on for their amusement.
353	* ShoutOut: [[LampshadeHanging "Where have I seen this before?"]]
354	** "Tom and Johnny" has Johnny turned into a mouse, and the villain is a cat. [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Predictability ensues]].
355	** One of the early episodes had a toy series called [[Toys/{{BIONICLE}} Roboticles]]. Coincidentally, Johnny's voice actor would later voice a character in the actual series, while some of the other voice actors have already been in other BIONICLE movies.
356	** At the end of "Johnny vs. Bling Bling 3", Johnny steals a page from [[Film/DieHard John McClane's]] book (specifically, "surrendering" with a weapon taped behind him).
357	** One one-off NPC is wearing [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi's]] hat.
358	** [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb "Whatcha doooin'?"]]
359	** The sleepover episode turns into a [[Literature/TheCatInTheHat Cat in the Hat]] homage halfway through, with Bling 1 and Bling 2 running around with kites, a talking fish, and Creator/DrSeuss dialogue and gadget designs.
360	** In "Johnny of the Deep", Bling Bling loses a ring that hypnotizes Susan into falling in love with him. [[Film/{{Titanic 1997}} When it falls overboard, he says "it was the rarest of gems."]]
361	** The episode "Johnny vs. Bling Bling 3" where Bling-Bling gets his mission to destroy Johnny ends up as a [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Road Runner]] reference, complete with CanisLatinicus scientific names for the characters.
362	** "[[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Johnny Dukey Doo]]"
363	** In "Rated J for Johnny", Johnny gets a brown, bushy mustache; when questioned about his name, what does he say it is? [[Series/MyNameIsEarl Earl.]]
364	** [[WebVideo/{{Fred}} Hi-Pitch Hal]]
365	** "Johnny Test's Quest" not only was the episode a direct reference to Johnny Quest (Including Mr.White dressing up in Hindi clothing.) but wouldn't be surprising if the episode was only made as an in-joke because the names sound similar.
366	** In "X-Ray Johnny", Johnny appears on a parody of ''Series/DealOrNoDeal''.
367	** Heck, they even did a parody of ''the show itself'' in "Johnny Re-Animated".
368	* ShownTheirWork: The first Tinymon episode actually grasped a lot of Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'s mechanics:
369	** Cuddlebun = {{Magikarp\|Power}}.
370	** Evolving by happiness.
371	** Screechereen is a combination of ([[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Shadow]]) Lugia, the legendary birds, [[spoiler:Gyarados]], Mew (may or may not exist), Missingno (may or may not exist), and [[invoked]][[UrbanLegendOfZelda Pikablu, Nidogod, etc.]] (may or may not exist). Also, in general, flying Pokémon are superior for some reason.
372	** [[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Stealing Tinymon.]]
373	** The second Tinymon episode contains reference to Digimon, with de-evolving and Jogress.
374	* SingleMindedTwins: The twins avert this but avoid being PolarOppositeTwins. They do not wear the same clothes and hair styles, and have different voices, but don't have exact opposite personalities. A very rare case of a cartoon making (relatively) normal identical twins.
375	* SingleTargetSexuality: Mary and Susan only have eyes for Gil. Eugene only has eyes for Susan.
376	** Inverted with Gil, who seems to love every attractive girl around his age ''except'' for Mary and Susan.
377	* SkiResortEpisode: "Downhill Johnny" which involves involves Johnny trying to find a way to go down a tall slope at Behemoth Ski Resort after the ski captain refuse to let him go down by himself and needs an adult to do it, and Hugh is too afraid to go down.
378	* SnarkKnight: Jillian, Dark Vegan's daughter.
379	* {{Snowlems}}: The Brain Freezer attacks Porkbelly with a whole bunch of them.
380	* SpaceWhaleAesop: The show throws an [[invoked]]{{Anvilicious}} [[NewMediaAreEvil "video games rot your mind"]] Aesop by having Johnny be unable to stop thinking about inanimate objects becoming random monsters. Which would be completely unimportant if his sisters hand't gotten a "make the user's imagination real" helmet stuck on his head.
381	** PlayedForLaughs at the end of "Johnny-itis", in which Dukey tells the audience to "never drink isotopes."
382	* SpoiledBrat: Surprisingly subverted. Johnny's attempts of getting his sisters' to help him through blackmail are balanced out (or possibly even caused) by his sisters' experimenting on him without permission. Been hinted to have happened since Johnny was a young child.
383	* SpoofingSpoofiness: Dark Vegan and the episode he debuted in, "Johnny Test in Outer Space", were parodies of Dark Helmet and ''{{Film/Spaceballs}}'' respectively, which in turn were parodies of Darth Vader and ''Franchise/StarWars''.
384	* SpoofyDoo: The episode "Johnny Dukey Doo" is a parody of Scooby-Doo, with Dukey as Scooby, Johnny as Shaggy, Susan and Mary as Daphne and Velma, and Gil as Fred. Gil even changes into Fred's attire as part of his proclaimed "ghost hunting gear".
385	* SpotTheImposter: When the military builds a Johnny Cyborg, it invokes this trope to avoid being shot by Dukey.
386	* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Played with in the first episode with Mr. Mittens. His butler ask why his DoomsdayDevice needs a timer and instead of just setting it off now. Mittens explains it's to get him out of range so he can remain and continue to take care of him.
387	** Occurs more frequently with Dukey asking the BrilliantButLazy Johnny why he doesn't just do his assignments instead of trying anything but.
388	* StalkerWithACrush: Bling Bling Boy with Susan; Susan and Mary with Gil.
389	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Dukey and Johnny, respectively.
390	* StockSoundEffect: The show turns the whipcrack sound effect into this, as every single character movement is given the same sound to the point that there are ''191 in a single episode''.
391	* SuddenNameChange: Missy, who is Sissy's dog, had her name changed to Poochy. No explanation has to given out as to why Missy's name was changed.
392	* SureLetsGoWithThat: Susan and Mary use this when Hugh claims that Johnny is having an allergic reaction to the meal he made. The truth is that Johnny's brain has been devolved due to an experiment.
393	* TakeOverTheCity: Lampshaded when Mr. White & Mr. Black ask why the show's villains always seem to attack Porkbelly.
394	* TakeOverTheWorld: Every single villain wants to do it (since they're all parodies of ObviouslyEvil villains).
395	* TakeThatUs: When confronted with the cartoon "Dawg and Bone" which has a near-identical premise to his life, Johnny simply asks "Who'd want to watch something like that?" before glancing at the fourth wall.
396	* TemptingFate: Any time ''anyone'' says "We're safe! We're all safe now!" is a cue to the universe that it's time to make them unsafe again.
397	* ThemeTwinNaming:
398	** Averted with Susan and Mary Test
399	** Mr. Black and Mr. White, despite not being twins and related, have their last names based on the colors of black and white.
400	** Sissy Blake and her dog Missy, although it gets subverted after Missy's name was changed to Poochy.
401	* ThisIsNoTimeForKnitting: Johnny -- confronted by some giant moon-men -- hastily makes paper planes and throws them to poke the giants in the eyes, but not before Dukey scolds him for making paper planes.
402	* ThreeTwoOne: All the time.
403	* TickleTorture: Johnny, Albert, Susan, and Mary go through this by The Tickler, Wacko's twin brother. Subverted in Albert's case because he is not ticklish.
404	** FriendlyTickleTorture: Johnny and Dukey do this in the same episode before The Tickler captures Susan and Mary.
405	* TimeMachine: Susan and Mary designed a time machine in the shape of a tea house.
406	* TokenEvilTeammate: Bling Bling Boy is this just as often as he is the antagonist.
407	* TooDumbToLive: Johnny, especially in Johnnyitis.
408	** Gil, not just the fact he is completely oblivious to Susan and Mary's existence, but he once started a babysitting service despite he knows nothing about babysitting. (Jumping on a small pull-out couch with the baby-fied Susan and Mary, feeding them chili, and watching a horror movie in front of them) "Babies like chili right?"
409	* TotallyRadical: Like you wouldn't believe.
410	* TotemPoleTrench: Susan and Mary do this to get into a top secret lab. Johnny and Dukey use this to try and get past the ski captain to shred the Behemoth.
411	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: While meatloaf certainly isn't the favorite food of ''most'' Test family members, it's obviously Hugh's favorite, since he makes it every night.
412	** Described by Dukey as "dry as a desert muskrat."
413	** Dukey will do anything for steak.
414	** Dark Vegan and toast. He spends one episode trying to get home to Vegandon, only to find out there's no toast there. So he immediately returns to Earth. Another episode [[spoiler:he plans to destroy the home planet of the Rib-eye Knights because he can't keep from burning his toast. Once Johnny shows him how to do so, he immediately drops the plan and befriends the Knights.]]
415	* {{Trainstopping}}: Practically a RunningGag whenever Johnny X is involved; one episode took it into OverlyLongGag territory that culminated in [[LampshadeHanging "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRAINS IN THIS CITY?"]]
416	* TwinThreesomeFantasy: Uniquely for this trope, it's the ''girls'' (Mary and Susan) who want this with Gil. They're always trying to make Gil "fall in love with ''us''"! Though they seem to vary on whether they actually want to share him or not. Discussed briefly in the episode "Johnny Two-Face", where Johnny was given a second truth-telling mouth that revealed this uncomfortable truth to the girls:
417	--> '''Mouth of Truth:''' ...you're not ''smart'' enough to realize there's only ''one'' Gil and ''two'' of you. And you ''both'' can't have him. You know that, right?
418	* UnguidedLabTour: In many episodes, Johnny is in need of a quick solution to the trouble he's gotten into but either his sisters aren't home or they can't/won't help him —he's been a nuisance or their experiment of the week is too unstable still. Behaving with the recklessness that characterizes him, Johnny often decides to screw it and forces his entrance to the lab. As he's searching for whatever is it that he was denied before (or that looks interesting enough), the viewers get a glimpse of the current state of the sisters' laboratory. On some occasions, Jonnhy triggers a security mechanism while he is grabbing (or already has) the experiment he wants.
419	* {{Veganopia}}: Dark Vegan provides a TakeThat against this trope.
420	* VillainProtagonist: Johnny and his father feel like this in some episodes, namely in episodes like "The Good, the Bad & the Johnny" and "Guess Who's Coming to Johnny's for Dinner"
421	* VitriolicBestBuds: Johnny and Bling Bling Boy often act like bitter enemies towards each other but in some episodes, they are decently good friends.
422	* VocalEvolution: Johnny's voice is a bit calmer and deeper before the first renewal.
423	* WackyRacing: On four separate occasions, once for a go cart race, again as a boat race, again on lawn mowers and once more for a sled race.
424	** Five now, and in a ''VideoGame/MarioKart''-like setting no less.
425	* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Bee Keeper just wanted kids to eat healthily.
426	* WeirdnessCensor: Dukey often goes out in public in a cunning disguise to prevent people from realizing he's a talking dog. His disguise? A t-shirt that reads, "Not a dog."
427	* WeWantOurJerkBack: The subject of two different episodes. In one the change is forced on Johnny by his sisters, in another Johnny's personality is changed to more easily work with a classmate.
428	** Three, if you count the episode where Dad was replaced with a robot duplicate.
429	* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The show is very inconsistent on whether its set in the United States or Canada. While the flag outside Johnny's school is that of Ontario and hockey is apparently Johnny's favorite sport (as well as scenes of him playing street hockey), the California flag also appears around Porkbelly and things like the CIA, an Area 51 knockoff, and the White House appear in many episodes. Heck, Johnny even makes an excuse that Dukey is his relative from Canada in one episode, and several episodes even have the characters ''visit'' Canada and meet Canadian stereotypes.
430	* WhoWouldWantToWatchUs: "Dawg & Bone" is an in-universe cartoon about a boy who has genius twin siblings and his dog and the adventures they have together. Johnny and Dukey consider the show lame.
431	* WildcardExcuse: Dukey the speaking dog is always "a kid with a rare hair disorder".
432	* WilliamTelling: "Dolly Johnny" has Johnny practicing shooting plungers at the apple perched on Dukey's head. He fails to hit the apple until he has to shoot something else that's more important.
433	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: In the episode where the Test kids and Dukey play chess with the chess pieces brought to life, Johnny takes the role of the king. When he took a liking to chess, the title went to his head and the orders he made go from making moves on the board to terrorizing Porkbelly; this is known to the characters as "The King's Madness".
434	* {{Yandere}}:
435	** In "Johnny's Super Smarty Pants", Johnny asks his sisters for super-intelligence. He obtains a pair of pants, which become self-aware... and this.
436	** The girls create three robot boys to make Gil jealous. It works. In ''both'' directions.
437	* YouCanTalk:
438	** [[RunningGag "Did that dog just talk?" "No."]]
439	** One episode, Gil says "Did that kid with the rare hair disorder just talk?" No one answers him.
440	* YouDontLookLikeYou: In season seven, Mr. Teacherman's face changes quite noticeably. His features are less cartoonishly exaggerated with a smaller, shorter nose and a discernable space between his eyes which are now blue instead of brown. He no longer has any misaligned teeth, either.
