Added DiffLines:

* GraveHumor: During the credit sequence, the camera shows off numerous graves, with the tombstones featuring puns. Sometimes they varied things with jokes like a tombstone reading "I'm with stupid" next to another tombstone reading, "I'm stupid".

* {{Call a Human a Meatbag}}: Ghosts derisively refer to living people as "fleshies" and "bonebags".

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Kat is also different from her movie incarnation; she's gone through a bit of {{Flanderization}}, her LittleMissSnarker traits taken UpToEleven to the point where her default mood is "annoyed and snarky," and her relationship with Casper has shades of VitriolicBestBuds, with lots of SnarkToSnarkCombat.

Added DiffLines:

* VocalEvolution Casper's voice is deeper than in most of his other iterations, including the 1995 movie, due to Malachi Pearson hitting puberty in the year between the movie's release and the show's debut.

* DownerEnding: It's generally PlayedForLaughs, but couple of the shorts have a rather downbeat and pessimistic ending for Casper. Notable is the song "Good Morning, Dr. Harvey," where Casper tries to tell Dr. Harvey his troubles with his uncles -- only to find out that Dr. Harvey wasn't even there and it was Stretch in disguise all along. The song ends with the Ghostly Trio tormenting him further, waving around the now-empty Dr. Harvey disguise and ([[MoodDissonance in a cheery showtune]]) singing about how he's stuck with them, there's nothing he can do and nobody to help him.

** {{Fartillery}}: Not literally so, but Stinky's putrid stenches, often delivered by loud belches, were his main tactic for frightening others.



** Literally; ghosts were portrayed in this series as having great difficulty in escaping from a vacuum cleaner, a reference to a scene from the movie.

-->Don't call Doctor Harvey,\\
The doctor's not in!\\
You can dump your therapist,\\
But not your own kin!\\
You're stuck, with us, Casper,\\
On this we're agreed:\\
''Haunt,'' or a doctor's what you'll need!

* DiscoSucks: Getting four hundred ghosts into a building was needed for some tax purposes, by recruiting stereotypical ravers. Clearing them out was a bit of a problem, solved by disco.
