The Shark Puppet contains examples of:

• Affectionate Parody: "Last To Leave Pool of Cheese Balls Gets $1,000,000" is one to Mr. Beast.
• Ax-Crazy: Downplayed, but sometimes shark puppet can act a bit too...Violent
• Cheesy Moon: This sets off the plot of "Shark Puppet Goes To The Moon!!!", in which Shark Puppet's dad tells him he saw a news report claiming that the moon was made of cheese, causing him to go on an adventure to try and see if it is true, It wasn't
• Christmas Episode:
  • "Shark Puppet Hates Sprite Cranberry!" revolves around the Shark Puppet's disdain for the Sprite Cranberry commercial.
  • "Christmas Time", a Christmas-themed rap song about going on a date with Mrs. Claus.
  • "Shark Puppet Gets Coal For Christmas" has Shark Puppet get coal for Christmas, causing him to try and get revenge on Santa.
• Crappy Holidays: "Shark Puppet's Thanksgiving" involves Shark Puppet being informed that guests are coming over for the holiday. What he doesn't know is that they are coming within short notice, causing him to attempt to cook meals within a short time span. It doesn't end up working out quite as he planned.
• A Dog Named "Dog": A shark puppet named Shark Puppet.
• Downer Ending: A lot of episodes end with the titular character being killed
• Electrified Bathtub: "Shark Puppet Toaster Bath!" has Shark Puppet relaxing in a bathtub, only to be killed when Evil Shark throws a toaster in it.
• Every Episode Ending: The shorter videos end with something bad happening and Shark Puppet screaming in reaction to it.
• Halloween Episode: Even more common than Christmas Episodes:
  • SHARK PUPPET MEETS PENNYWISE FROM IT!!!!! released around the It: Chapter Two 's release
  • SHARK PUPPETS HAUNTED HALLOWEEN HAYRIDE!!!!! actually filmed during an Halloween party
  • SHARK PUPPETS HOUSE GETS HAUNTED!!!!!
  • SHARK PUPPET AND DAVES HAUNTED HALLOWEEN!!!
  • SHARK PUPPET FACES HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS (SPOOKY?!) actually filmed during an Halloween event (flashing lights warning)
  • SHARK PUPPET MEETS MICHAEL MYERS!!! featuring the iconic villain from the precisely named Halloween franchise, released around the same time than Halloween Ends
  • SHARK PUPPET VS EVIL POTATO!!!
  • Shark Puppets HAUNTED Halloween Camping Trip Continuing the tradition of featuring the villain from the main blockbuster horror movie of the year, this one includes Freddy from the Five Nights at Freddy's movie (and so by extension from the hit video game franchise of the same name). But unlike the previous cases with Pennywise and Michel Myers, this time it doesn't play any significant role in the video, only being a part of a very few active Big Bad Ensemble, featuring Slender Man and... Spongebob; and their inactivity is justified since there are actually no evil here, they just wanted to have a spooky camping night. Also features a cameo from the classic Creature from the Black Lagoon
    • However, this video is followed by two short videos in which Freddy is actually an antagonist : FREDDY FAZBEAR EATS SHARK PUPPET! and SHARK PUPPETS VS FOXY.
    • And futhermore, followed the same 31st of october of 2023 by Shark Puppets Five Nights At Freddys!, a parody of the franchise including several of its animatronics, all acting as actual threats.
• Image Song: "Buckets", his first rap song, has lyrics describing his personality.
• Raised by Humans: Shark Puppet's dad is a human.
• Screams Like a Little Girl: The titular shark, practically every episode.
• Surreal Humor: Shark puppet off the shrooms
• Take That!: One to Pinkfong's "Baby Shark" is done in Shark Puppet Ends Baby Shark, in which Shark Puppet tries to destroy a plush of Daddy Shark, only for it to not work.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich: Happened A LOT. And note only with sandwiches, with all kind of food, especially cheese. Also, sometimes they break the dishes, too.
• Trademark Favorite Food: The titular character loves cheese so much that he'll go through many extremes to get it, from buying out almost the entire cheese aisle at Target to going to the moon to find it.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Shark Puppet has a fear of meeting costume characters, no matter how his dad coaxes him.
