* FacePalm: Ms. Question does one out of frustration when it turns out that nobody in the bank she's robbing knows who she is.

!!"Seize the Cheese" contains the following tropes:
* BaitAndSwitchComment: Dr. Two-Brains is reluctant to go apple picking with his henchmen, thinking it'll be boring. After he actually tries it, he admits that he was wrong. It's even ''more'' boring than he thought it would be.
* BalloonBelly: Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen get these after gorging themselves on all the cheese the Cheese Seizer attracted.
* BigNo: Becky does one when Mr. Botsford leaps into the air to take her game controller from her.
* DayHurtsDarkAdjustedEyes: After having spent an unknown amount of time playing video games inside, Becky is blinded for a moment when Mr. Botsford opens the door to take the family out on a hike.
* ExtremeCloseUp:
** This is used when Mrs. Botsford dramatically tells her husband to seize Becky's game controller.
** Dr. Two-Brains gets a turn when he declares that he and his henchmen will have to go get some cheese to indulge his new love for cheese and apples.
* ICantBelieveImSayingThis: After Dr. Two-Brains over-indulges on cheese to the point of getting a BalloonBelly:
-->'''Dr. Two-Brains:''' Boys, I never thought I'd say this, but I think we ate too much cheese.
* IdeaBulb: Captain Huggy Face gets one, accompanied with an IdeaDing, when he gets the idea to capture Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen with the help of the Cheese Seizer. Said bulb is made out of cheese, so he proceeds to reach up and eat it.
* ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: Dr. Two-Brains finds cheese and apples together to be this, to the point of getting apple-shaped WingdingEyes and a trippy background when he first tries it.
* LotsOfLuggage: Mr. Botsford's backpack for the family hiking trip is over twice as big as he is and can barely be moved even with almost the whole family helping. According to him, it contains essentials such as for example patio furniture and a bowling ball.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Dr. Two-Brains picking an apple for the first time is accompanied by a triumphant fanfare and the camera zooming in on the apple on a spotlight background as he holds it aloft.
* TitleDrop: Dr. Two-Brains dramatically declares, "Cheese Seizer, seize the cheese!" when he first uses it.
* VerbalBackspace:
-->'''Mr. Botsford:''' Becky, TJ, are you still playing that Pretty Princess game?\\
'''TJ:''' Huh? No! I was just looking at the screen and thinking about how fun this game is-- isn't.
* WingdingEyes: When Dr. Two-Brains first tastes cheese and apples together, he finds it so delicious that his pupils turn into apples.
