* FridgeLogic: The candies have to come in such a complicated string puzzle instead of being directly delivered to the monster...
** FridgeBrilliance: ...because the player would probably get his hand bitten if he handed it directly. Om Nom is a monster, after all...
** But in the first episode of ''WebAnimation/OmNomStories,'' where Om Nom meets his new caretaker, a boy named Evan, he eats a candy directly out of Evan's hand. Evan doesn't get his hand bitten then.
*** The puzzles are just that, puzzles to train and entertain the sweet [[MindOverMatter telekinetic]] PlayerCharacter that is Om Nom.
* GoddamnedBats: The spiders that try to get to the end of a rope and steal the candy. This means that a rope with a spider is on a timer, forcing you to hurry if you want to keep your candy safe.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The ending cutscene of Cut the Rope Remastered can make you cry TearsOfJoy if you have sensitive tears.
* IconicCharacterForgottenTitle: Thanks to AdaptationDisplacement with ''WebAnimation/OmNomStories'', many people refer to the series as the ''Om Nom'' series. Most of the spin-offs are ''actually'' called ''Om Nom'' in order to avoid ArtifactTitle. This is also probably why ''Cut the Rope 3'' did away with the candy and used Nibble Om instead.
* ItsEasySoItSucks: Some complain that the game is too easy on a whole - including obtaining all three stars in all the levels, no less.
* {{Moe}}: Oh sweet candy, Om Nom is adorable.
* ScrappyMechanic: Whoopie cushions can be one if you're playing on a small screen device without a stylus and have a hard time touching them accurately.
* ThatOneLevel: Quite a few of them. ''Especially'' if you're [[HundredPercentCompletion going for all three stars]].
* UglyCute: Not so much Om Nom himself, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN98tu-MMys&list=SPVxGcyI6KPth2dKNkp-0dH2VYCJCppzDE his Stone Age ancestor]] qualifies...
