* WigDressAccent: Most characters' disguises involve some combination of these or similar items, and the three stages of V.F.D.'s disguise training-- Veiled Facial Disguises, Various Finery Disguises, and Voice Fakery Disguises -- resemble this trope.

Added DiffLines:

* WorldOfDumbass: As a general rule, 80% of the people Violet, Klaus and Sunny encounter on their adventures are either actively incurious, anti-intellectual, and completely disregard any opinions the orphans have. A further 10% have some level of malicious intent towards them (sometimes both, as is the case with [[TheDailyMisinformer The Daily Punctilio]]), with the remaining 10% either being well-meaning but powerless to help them, or getting killed off before the book they're introduced in ends.

Added DiffLines:

* AdoptionConflict: A violent version. Throughout the series, the orphaned Baudelaire children are bounced from one distant relative/foster home to another (largely because of the schemes of Count Olaf). Olaf wants to take custody of the children and then kill them so he can have their large inheritance, and either kills or manipulates the various caretakers they end up with (especially the good ones) in an effort to become their legal guardian.
