** The Theme song is an actual in-universe song and it's really popular with the characters.

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': The theme tune (or another song on the soundtrack) is hummed, sang, whistled, played or what-have-you within the show.
* '''Straight''': Alice asks Bob "Do you know that song? The one that goes--" and starts humming the theme tune.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice hums the theme tune to Bob in order to identify it, then Carol walks past whistling it, then a parrot whistles it, then it plays on the radio, then it plays on Dave's iPod, then Edward plays it on the piano.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice hums the first few notes of the theme tune.
* '''Justified''': Alice is seen in the intro, so she actually sang or listened to the theme tune once, but it's unknown when the intro actually happened InUniverse, and she doesn't know either. [[MindScrew If that makes sense.]]
* '''Inverted''': A character sings a song during the show, that gets popular enough among the audience that it's turned into the theme song. However, the song is no longer sung in-universe after that.
* '''Subverted''': Alice was humming a tune similar to the theme tune, but not quite.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** Alice is tone deaf, and Bob suggests "Maybe you were thinking of this tune" and hums the theme tune.
** The theme tune then starts playing on the radio.
* '''Averted''': The theme tune is never hummed, sang, whistled, played or anything in the show besides the intro.
* '''Parodied''': The characters do the intro [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment for no reason in the middle of the episode, then the plot progresses as though it had never happened.]]
* '''Zigzagged''': A handful of tunes similar to the theme tune play InUniverse, some of which are the theme tune, and a few of which are interrupted after the first few notes.
* '''Enforced''': The writers wanted an episode where Alice tries to identify a song, but couldn't find one that's not either copyrighted or obvious, so they chose the theme song.
* '''Lampshaded''': "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall If we had our own theme music, that tune would fit]]"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': For whatever reason, the characters refuse to hum, sing, whistle, play, or otherwise mention the theme tune.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "Is he playing the theme tune?"
* '''Implied''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': ???
* '''Reconstructed''': ???
* '''Played for Laughs''': AliceAndBob then have a conversation about how the song seems ''so'' familiar but they can't pin it down.
* '''Played for Drama''': ???
