* AmicableExes: Noel and Dolly used to date. Now, despite their near-constant bickering, they seem to have no problem staying friends.
* AnythingThatMoves: Being a talking animal or an object doesn't stop Noel from being attracted to someone.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Noel's feud with King Tutta the mountain has shades of this. Throughout the episode a distant mountain keeps tutting and looking disgusted every time Noel makes a joke. Noel retaliates by scorching the mountain's cheek with a hot teaspoon, but later realises he was actually tutting because he was performing a capella with some other mountains, at which point Noel apologises and admits to being "slightly in love" with King Tutta.

* BishieSparkle: Noel wears glitter on his cheeks throughout the final episode and he's as close to a real life Bishonen as you can get.
* BiTheWay: Noel the actor is more ambiguous, but the second series has Noel the character indicate his attraction to men at least once an episode, and he is revealed to have dated Dolly in the past.

* {{Adorkable}}: Despite being the pioneer of both Noel and Dolly's lifestyles, he's considerably more of a goofy nerd than either.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: His robotic voice and movements, along with dispensing tickets when he laughs make it unlikely.
* AttractiveBentGender: Apparently Andy Warhol is this when he masquerades as Frida Kahlo. Although it's plainly just Andy in drag, Smooth still seems to fancy him.

* DomesticAbuse: Secret Peter beats his wife. Played for laughs as she's a non-anthropomorphic peanut.



* AssShove: Apparently Tony Reason's method of familiarising himself with a new work colleague is to insert his finger into that person's anus. That said, Tony doesn't even have fingers, so Lord knows how he manages it.

* TheDandy: Wears puffy sleeves and leather pants.
