* HumansAreMorons: Both Hem and Haw act like five-year-olds. Hem throws a temper tantrum when the cheese is missing, and Haw is under the delusion that it will magically come back, and is too [[DirtyCoward afraid]] to travel through a maze with no real danger even though the alternative is starvation. The only smart characters are the mice.

* ExtremeDoormat: Deconstructed. Haw had a feeling that the Cheese at Cheese Station C was not coming back and that they had to find New Cheese, but Hem's stubborness led him into following along, leading both of them into worse conditions. [[CharacterDevelopment Of course, one day, Haw finally leaves to find the New Cheese on his own.]]

'''''Who Moved My Cheese?''''' is a late 1990s self-help {{novella}} by Dr. Creator/SpencerJohnson about noticing and adapting to change. Its easy reading level, [[BeastFable fable]] delivery, and short length led to several parodies.
!!''Who Moved My Cheese?'' contains examples of these tropes:
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: After the littlepeople discover Cheese Station C, they change their habits to rely on its cheese to an unhealthy extent.
* AnAesop: Watch for signs of change, and be ready to change your actions when change happens around you.
* AnimatedAdaptation: There have been two versions, the old VHS version in 4:3 and the new DVD version in 16:9.
* CapitalLettersAreMagic: "Cheese" and "New Cheese" are written with initial caps when referring to the littlepeople because "Cheese" represents what people desire in life.
* DeconstructiveParody:
** ''Literature/WhoCutTheCheese'' (2000) by Stilton Jarlsberg
** ''Literature/WhoCutTheCheese'' (2000) by Mason Brown
** ''Literature/WhoStoleMyCheese'' (2002) by Ilene Hochberg
** ''Literature/IMovedYourCheese'' (2011) by Deepak Malhotra
* DungeonBypass: Hem and Haw chisel holes in the wall of Cheese Station C to see if more cheese is behind the wall.
* FauxtivationalPoster: Haw has a habit of drawing (straight) motivational graffiti on the walls, both to motivate Hem and to act as a landmark when searching the maze for New Cheese.
* FramingDevice: Someone tells the story of "Who Moved My Cheese?" at a high school reunion.
* HeroicBSOD: Hem's outbursts when he realizes the cheese is gone.
* {{Lilliputians}}: The littlepeople Hem and Haw.
* PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: The mice Sniff and Scurry still act on mouse instinct and can't talk to Lilliputians other than through gestures, but they wear (and can tie) shoes.
* RagsToRiches: The discovery of Cheese Station C.
* StockAnimalDiet: Cheese and mice. Downplayed as the cheese is metaphorical.
* TitleDrop: Hem shouts "Who moved my cheese?" after there is no cheese left in Cheese Station C.
