History DannyPhantom / TropesHToP

* MagicMirror: The mirror in Poindexter's old locker acts as a portal between Caspar High of the present and a 1950's version of the school in the Ghost Zone.

** Multiple. The Goth Bookstore showcases George [=McFly=]'s book from ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' on its shelves. When Danny collapses from cold in "Urban Jungle," he wakes up floating in his underwear in a water tank a la ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. Then there's "three for the [=OpCenter=]" as they "beam up" to the upper level of the Fenton house. And those are just the really obvious ones. There's more than a few examples in dialogue as well.

* HartmanHips:
** Maddie, Valerie, Paulina, etc... it ''is'' a Hartman series...
-->"Man, that's hot!"
** Sam in "Urban Jungle," but otherwise she's quite [[{{Pun}} trimmed]].

* HughMann: Amorpho.

* AnIcePerson: Season 3 Danny.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial:
** Tucker.
** Amorpho, though not so much "special" as "noticed, good or bad."

* KidsAreCruel:
** Poor, poor Danny....
** Tucker is also a victim of this.

* LastNameBasis: (Penelope) Spectra.

* LiteralGenie: Desiree.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Danny's change of hair-style in "Phantom Planet."

* MagicSkirt: Sam, Kitty, and Spectra.
* MagneticPlotDevice: The Ghost Portal.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Danny and [[spoiler: Dark Danny's]] "Ghostly Wail."

* ManipulativeBastard: Vlad.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Vlad in his black suit.

* MickeyMousing

* MusicalAssassin: Ember [=McLain=].

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Does Technus remind you of Gilbert Gottfried? Exactly.

* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The Observant High Council.

* PingPongNaivete: Danny.

* PowerGlows:

* PowerPerversionPotential: Danny was seen phasing out of the girl's locker room ''[[RunningGag twice]]'' in ''[[Recap/DannyPhantomS2E1MemoryBlank Memory Blank]]'' with a very content/perverted grin.

* PowerTrio:
** Ego: Danny
** Superego: Sam
** Id: Tucker

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Several times throughout the series.

* PowerPerversionPotential: Danny was seen phasing out of the girl's locker room ''[[RunningGag twice]]'' in [[Recap/DannyPhantomS2E1MemoryBlank ''Memory Blank'']] with a very content/perverted grin.
** Danny also weaponized it against Tucker in [[Recap/DannyPhantomS1E6WhatYouWant ''What You Want'']] when he lured Tucker into the girl's locker room, distracting Tucker long enough for Danny to defeat him.

* PowerPerversionPotential: Danny was seen phasing out of the girl's locker room ''[[RunningGag twice]]'' in ''Memory Blank'' with a very content/perverted grin.
** Danny also weaponized it against Tucker in ''What You Want'' when he lured Tucker into the girl's locker room, distracting Tucker long enough for Danny to defeat him.

* OverprotectiveDad:
** Paulina's father:
-->"If you upset my daughter, we are going to have a very violent talk."
** Also, Valerie's dad, Damian, to a lesser extent. He's okay with Danny and Valerie being together, just so long as none of Danny's parents' "ghost weirdness" rubs off.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Surprisingly, [[spoiler: Jack Fenton to Vlad in the series finale. After Vlad revealed his half-ghost powers and threw Jack's attempt to start over back in his face when he believed his plans are coming to fruition. When they don't, karma finally catches up to Vlad when Jack coldly strands him in space.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Vlad:''' You wouldn't abandon an old friend, would you?]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Jack:''' An old friend, no. You, YES.]]

* DevilishHairHorns: Both Vlad and Spectra sport this.

** Sam’s Parents, Pam and Jeremy judged Danny five seconds after meeting him. Eventually, they got a [[HollywoodRestrainingOrder restraining order]] against him because they thought he was a bad influence on Sam. They think that Jack and Maddie are no better, going far as to judge them just by their usual attire.

* OffModel:
** Sprinkled throughout the series, most notably during a period in the first season (and the beginning of Season 2) where the entire cast turned rubbery in a few episodes.
** The scene in which Danny falls on the floor, everyone looks down and laughs. However, when Danny stands up again, everyone else is still staring at the floor. Or in one girl's case... his crotch.
** The most frequent error in the series is a shot during fights where Danny isn't carrying the Fenton Thermos when he logically should be doing so.
** The promotional short "Fairly Odd Phantom", which is a crossover between ''Danny Phantom'' and the other three cartoons Butch Hartman created for Nickelodeon (''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'' and ''WesternAnimation/BunsenIsABeast''), has a few of these. Mostly with the character's eyes becoming smaller than they should be, or some weird proportions for a few seconds. Other than that, the short decently transferred the character models into HD otherwise.

* NoDressCode: Sam, Paulina, and a few the other female students in Casper High wear [[BareYourMidriff midriff exposing shirts and tops]] without any repercussions at all.

* LoveYouAndEverybody: Danny and Sam pull it on each ''other'' in "Claw of the Wild."
--> '''Danny:''' I couldn't imagine my life without you. [{{beat}}] Or Tucker. ''[monster appears in the distance]]'' Stay here. Wake up Wulf.
--> '''Sam:''' Be careful. I couldn't imagine my life without you either. [{{beat}}] Or Tucker.

* MusicGenreDissonance: Ember has a punk-looking band but her VillainSong, "Remember", is a pop song. Sam even refers to it as such.

** Sam in "Urban Jungle," but otherwise she's quite [[IncrediblyLamePun trimmed]].

* NoOntologicalInertia: Averted in "The Nightmare Before Christmas, when Danny destroys the Ghost Writer's Quantum Keyboard, thinking it will undo the poem curse, but it turns out he's still talking in rhyme and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero now the Ghost Writer has no means of ending the curse himself.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Being a comic-book styled cartoon, this was probably inevitable. You have the basic ones like the titular character, his two best friends, his sister, his parents, and his arch-nemesis Vlad, along with a few recurring figures at Casper High. And then things get more complicated with the likes of ghost hunters Valerie Gray and the Guys in White, Danny’s gender bent clone Danielle...and we’d still be leaving out the 20+ ghost supervillains, at least 3 ghost allies, and 1 genuine human villain.

* HollywoodNerd: Danny, especially when standing beside Tucker.

* OrangeBlueContrast: Jack and Maddie Fenton wears orange and blue jumpsuits, respecively. Jack is immature and childish while Maddie is much more sensible.

* MusicalAssassin: Ember McLain.

* JokeOfTheButt: In "Memory Blank", a wish from Sam granted by Desiree results in Danny losing his ghost powers and forgetting both his experiences as a half-ghost superhero and his past with Sam. After Sam recreates the accident that originally gave Danny his ghost powers and tries to bring him up to speed on how his powers work, her efforts to get Danny to use his ghost rays ends with Danny only being able to fire ghost rays from his rear rather than his hands like he usually does. This is later given a callback when Tucker freaks out at the sight of Danny bending over in front of him.

%% ** Sam had a moment herself in "Memory Blank".
