* {{Bookworm}}: Edwin, Susie's six-year-old brother. When Susie, Tommy, and Angelica ask him about the Tooth Fairy, they get to his bedroom, which has so many books that Angelica mistakes it for a library.

** BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After being read the story of ''Literature/{{Aladdin}}'', Angelica makes a wish on her lamp that the whole world were a circus, and when the babies see the costume party the adults are throwing, they believe Angelica's wish came true. They like it at first, but then they believe that their parents have gone missing (not realizing that their parents are all in costumes, some of which, such as Chas' well-balanced breakfast costume, aren't much different from their normal appearances). Tommy even calls the trope by its name when Angelica makes her wish.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: At the costume party, Stu and Drew have an argument over who's king of the jungle— Tarzan (Stu's costume of choice) or King Kong (Drew). They eventually decide to "Step outside," or at least Stu does, before Drew closes the door and locks his brother out. He eventually attempts to climb the gutters and enter through an open window on the second story (after knocking on the window, but never knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell). He slips, however, and is hanging off of the gutter by his loincloth as police pull up to the window. He tells them that it's his brother's house. They don't believe him, and he gets arrested (in his Tarzan costume).

The twenty-sixth and final episode of the second season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''.

'''Tooth or Dare'''

When Angelica learns about the Tooth Fairy, she thinks she'll be rich if she puts a tooth under her pillow, so she tries to pull Chuckie's teeth out.

'''Party Animals'''

When Angelica wishes the whole world were a circus, the adults throw a costume party at Angelica's house, which leads the babies to believe that her wish came true.

!! "Tooth or Dare" provides examples of:

* {{Bookworm}}: Edwin, Susie's six-year-old brother. When Susie, Tommy, and Angelica ask him about the Tooth Fairy, they get to his bedroom, which has so many books that Angelica mistakes it for a library. He has a copy of ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' by Homer, and is reading about quantum physics when they walk in. He also wears glasses with extremely large frames (bigger than Chuckie's) to drive the point home (as if it wouldn't be obvious otherwise).
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Angelica tells Susie that if she believes in the Tooth Fairy, she has a sandbox in Florida to sell her. When Susie decides to prove it to Angelica, Tommy asks Angelica how much she's selling her sandbox for.
* DIYDentistry: Angelica tries many methods to pull Chuckie's teeth out, such as prying them out with Tommy's screwdriver, tying one end of a string to Chuckie's teeth and having him jump from a pile of Tommy's toys, then later tying the other end to Spike's tail so Spike can pull them out when he runs, and finally, trying to pull them out with pliers.
* NonSequiturThud: Near the end of the episode, when Angelica chases Tommy and Chuckie with a pair of pliers, she runs into a wall after Chuckie and Tommy sidestep her. As she's on the floor, semi-conscious, this exchange happens:
-->'''Tommy:''' Angelica, are you okay?\\
'''Angelica:''' *sits up, eyes crossed* Oh, but Daddy, the babies ate all the ice cream sammiches...\\
'''Chuckie:''' What ice cream sandwiches is she talking about, Tommy?
* ShaggyDogStory: Angelica's many unsuccessful attempts to extract Chuckie's teeth end up resulting in her losing one of her own teeth.
* TheToothHurts: Throughout the episode, Angelica tries to extract one of Chuckie's teeth for Tooth Fairy money.

!! "Party Animals" provides examples of:

* AndImTheQueenOfSheba: Stu gets this line from the police after he's caught trying to break back into Drew's house after getting locked out by the former during a costume party;
-->'''Stu:''' I got locked out, and this is my brother's house.\\
'''Cop #1:''' Sure it is, and you're the Queen of England.\\
'''Stu:''' No, I'm Tarzan, King of the Jungle.\\
'''Cop #2:''' Well then, Tarzan, why don't you get your animal friends to help you down?
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After being read the story of ''Literature/{{Aladdin}}'', Angelica makes a wish on her lamp that the whole world were a circus, and when the babies see the costume party the adults are throwing, they believe Angelica's wish came true.

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: When Stu's Tarzan yell wakes up the babies, this exchange occurs between them;
-->'''Phil:''' Maybe it's a elephant.\\
'''Chuckie:''' Maybe it's just the TV.\\
'''Lil:''' Maybe it's a elephant watching TV!
* BrickJoke: The babies manage to evade Didi's cousin, Bucky in the bathroom and inadvertently manage to trap him inside. Some time after the party ends, Angelica wakes up, needing to use the bathroom. She opens the door, and is screams when she sees Bucky.
* ClothingDamage: While trying to get back into Angelica's house after Drew locks him out, Stu tries to climb up to an open window, only for his loincloth to get caught on a nail and rip.
* EatTheCamera: Done with Angelica when she sees Bucky in the bathroom.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Like in a previous episode, "[[Recap/RugratsS1E6RuthlessTommyMooseCountry Moose Country]]", whenever a moose is shown or talked about, the same sound plays in the background almost every time.
* LockedInARoom: While on the run from Bucky, whom they believe is a giant baby thanks to his costume, the babies manage to escape from him in the bathroom, and when they close the door, a nearby board falls over it, trapping Bucky inside.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: At the costume party, Stu and Drew have an argument over who's king of the jungle— Tarzan (Stu's costume of choice) or King Kong (Drew).

They don't believe him, and he gets arrested (in his Tarzan costume).
