* ItsAWonderfulPlot: "World Without Milo," in which Elliot, after wishing for Milo's absence, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor wakes up in a world where no one's heard of the kid]], including his best friends and his sister. Unusually for episodes of this kind, the ButterflyOfDoom is averted; the only person deeply affected is [[AntagonistInMourning Elliot]], whose job is [[VictoryIsBoring meaningless without the conflict Milo brings]]. [[ForWantOfANail Also, squirrels can talk]].

* ItsAlwaysSpring: Season 2 for the majority takes place in winter. You wouldn't know this by looking at the environment alone, as only a handful of episodes has Danville covered in snow, with any other episode looking as [[ForestOfPerpetualAutumn autumn-y]] as Season 1. Even in an episode where the characters literally say it's winter, the environment just looks the same as it did in the first season.

* MurphysLaw: Milo and his family are constantly plagued by it. Dealing with their daily disruptions is the whole premise of the show.

* IAmNotWeasel: In "Milo Murphy's Halloween Scream-a-Torium", Elliot dresses as a dinosaur for Halloween, and Milo guesses he's a ''T. rex'' while Zack assumes he's a ''Velociraptor''. Elliot corrects them that he's an ''Allosaurus''.
* IAmSong: The Murphys have a song about what it means when you knock over DisasterDominoes everywhere you go.
--> And the wall falls down,
--> And the wall hits a tree,
--> And the tree hits a poll,
--> And the poll hits a bee.
--> That's how you know you're a Murphy.
** The opening and ending theme itself, which is also a BraggingThemeTune.
* IGotARock: Referenced in Dakota's song "Tonight's The Last Halloween":
-->''We should avoid that house, I hear they're giving fresh fruit''
-->''But right next door they got full-size candy bars!''
* ImmediateSequel: WordOfGod states that the first episode of the show, "Going the Extra Milo", takes place immediately after the series finale of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. The former takes place on the first day of the school year, while the latter takes place on the last day of summer vacation.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: The Brulee twins have this reaction to Milo in "Family Vacation".
* InkSuitActor: Savannah and Brick are basically toon versions of Creator/MingNaWen and Creator/BrettDalton.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Milo with Dakota and Cavendish.
* IPhony: Victor Verliezer's vTech Corp., Inc. manufactures the vPhone and the vTablet in "A Clockwork Origin".
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Not only the Murphy's Law effect, but Milo's Dad has been shown to have the same laid back, calm approach to calamities that Milo has.
* ItsAWonderfulPlot: "World Without Milo," in which Elliot, after wishing for Milo's absence, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor wakes up in a world where no one's heard of the kid]], including his best friends and his sister.

* JustFriends: [[BattleCouple Brick and Savanna]]. Even they seem to think it's weird.

[[folder:K]]
* KidnappingBirdOfPrey: A bald eagle flies off with a sleepwalking Milo in "Perchance to Sleepwalk".
[[/folder]]

* LamePunReaction:
** In "Rooting for the Enemy", Melissa says that the stadium used to sell German sausages, but they were the worst/wurst. Cue {{Rimshot}}.
---> '''Member of school band:''' [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn Check it out, guys, I found a snare drum!]]
** In "Sunny Side Up", Milo and Zack both begin making egg puns, only for Melissa to angrily order them to stop.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Happens a couple of time in the crossover episode.
->Pistachion Guard: "Stop foreshadowing, Bob."
* LethalChef: Well, it's not so much that the Murphy men can't cook. It's just that when they do things go horribly wrong and the people around them end up maimed or injured or on fire.

[[folder:M]]
* MagicSkirt: Actually averted, in a Disney show no less. In The Substitute (1x15) when [[ItMakesSenseInContext a sentient blob holds Ms. Baxter upside-down]] she actually has to hold her skirt up to keep it from succumbing to gravity.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Milo is prone to this:
--> '''Milo:''' Well, people have used [[TheJinx the "j" word]]. But you know what they say: "sticks and stones can damage your vital organs, so always wear body armor."
** Sometimes, these manifest as "My dad always says..."
* MurphysLaw: Milo and his family are constantly plagued by it. Dealing with their daily disruptions is the whole premise of the show.
* MisplacedWildlife:
** Lampshaded in "Time Out":
--->"Swordfish? In freshwater?"
** Red-billed choughs (from Eurasia and parts of Africa) show up in "Perchance to Sleepwalk", despite the series taking place [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield somewhere]] in North America.
* MissingReflection: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]; Chad claims that [[AmbiguouslyHuman Mr. Drako]] has covered all the mirrors in his office due to this. They're actually pictures of his ex-wife.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: In "The Math Book", Milo and especially Melissa play up retrieving Melissa's math book after school as a fantastical quest. Though Murphy's Law meant that they did run into several extraordinary circumstances, Zack points out many moments where their supposed quest was perfectly mundane.
