* {{Affectionate Parody}}: They started as an example of this to Norwegian comedians Music/{{Ylvis}}. They have also been known to parody Calle's other comedy group, The Raske Menn.
* {{Beauty Brains and Brawn}}: Whilst each of them embodies all three tropes to some degree, Cat is a fan favourite for her looks, making her {{The Beauty}}, Leah is the most prone to letting fly with her anger (much to the chagrin of her fellow Frauds), and Stephanie is full of nerdy facts and pedantry.
* {{Blonde Brunette Redhead}}/{{Colour Coded For Your Convenience}}: Leah has near white-blonde, enormous fluffy hair; Cat has caramel-coloured neck-length hair; Stephanie has dark curls. Surprisingly, this wasn't a choice for their roles as the Ylvis guys; they simply have hair like that.
* {{Buffy Speak}}: All three, to varying degrees, can get a little overexcited with their words.
* {{Cast Full of Writers}}: Apart from what they borrow from Ylvis, The Frauds write all their own material.
* {{Cluster F Bomb}}: All three of them tend to set each other off in the swearing stakes.
* {{Comic Trio}}: Cat is {{The Leader}} of the charismatic variety, often acting the most 'normal' and capable. Leah is {{The Fool}}, often providing surreal and bizarre humour, and Stephanie is often the {{Only Sane Man}} simply because she's pedantic enough to call the others out.
* {{Cross Cast Role}}: All of the Frauds are young females, but they play three middle-aged Norwegian men, as well as other men.
* {{Freudian Trio}}: Even when she isn't parodying Calle, Leah is an example of the Id, having the more exaggerated and loud sense of humour, with the quieter, self-deprecating Stephanie playing the Superego and Cat remaining to play the balanced Ego.
* {{Plenty Of Blondes}}: Two of the three Frauds are blonde, or at least towards the lighter-haired end of the spectrum.
