** Sammy was once human and was ''always'' a nice person, and becoming a skeleton didn't change that.

'''Basic Trope''': [[DemBones Living skeletons]] that are portrayed as friendly.
* '''Straight''': Sammy the Skeleton is very kind, and he enjoys spending time with his human friends AliceAndBob and his brother [[PunnyName Cal C. Am]].
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Sammy is an AllLovingHero.
** Skeletons are an AlwaysLawfulGood species in the work.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Sammy isn't actually a skeleton, but does have a SkeletonMotif and is a nice person.
** Calling Sammy "friendly" would be a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold bit of]] [[GoodIsNotNice a stretch]], though he is still on the side of good.
** Only some parts of Sammy's body are skeletal.
* '''Justified''':
** Sammy wants to [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch break away from the stereotypes of skeletons being evil.]]
** Sammy was raised to be nice, and wants to stay that way.
* '''Inverted''': Skeletons are portrayed as evil.
* '''Subverted''': Although Sammy acts nice, he reveals himself to be EvilAllAlong.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** But then he has a HeelFaceTurn later.
** Or, despite being evil, he's still AffablyEvil.
* '''Parodied''': Sammy is a skeleton Halloween decoration that [[CompanionCube gets treated as a character]].
* '''Zig-Zagged''':
** There are some friendly skeletons in the work, and some evil skeletons.
** Sammy is in a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor.
* '''Averted''': There aren't any skeletons in the work.
* '''Enforced''':
** The work features monsters as its main characters and is aimed at children (or is otherwise LighterAndSofter), so it makes sense that a friendly skeleton would be included.
** Sammy was inspired by an existing character of this type, such as [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]] or [[WesternAnimation/RubyGloom Skull Boy]].
* '''Lampshaded''': "Sammy proves that you don't even have to have a heart to be nice."
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': Being a living skeleton, Sammy can do a lot more without getting injured - this can include slapstick gags, or even going through dangerous passageways.
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
