* LimitedWardrobe: At least in Leslie Harrington's illustrations. Goofus has worn the same green hoodie since 2006, while Gallant has worn the same ''red T-shirt over a white long-sleeve shirt'' since 2006.
* RightWayWrongWayPair
* StockParody: Putting them in teenage or grown-up situations is popular; while in the real thing Goofus is ''always'' on the left panel so that readers see the "wrong" and "right" way to handle a situation in that order, parodies often reverse this for better comic effect.
* VagueAge: Depending on the illustrator and the situation they've appeared as everything from very early elementary age to almost-teenagers.
* [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who Names Their Kid Goofus or Gallant?]]: At no point are their real names mentioned, leading readers to believe their names really ''are'' "Goofus" and "Gallant".
** "Mon always liked you best!"

* AntiRoleModel: Goofus.
* ArtEvolution: There've been at least three illustrators over the years, and the first (Marion Hull Hammel) could give [[QuestionableContent Jeph Jacques]] lessons in self-conscious changing of drawing style.
