* TheEighties: Very steeped in it due to the decade, with rock music, skateboards and other TotallyRadical clichés. Needless to say, it's an UnintentionalPeriodPiece.

Added DiffLines:

* GangOfBullies: The guys in the group typically get into with four bullies in the neighborhood. Nick is the leader, with Curt, Scott, and Rod as the flunkies.


Added DiffLines:

* HonestJohnsDealership: When not trying to exploit Denver for his own ends, Morton Fizzback is running some kind of business venture of questionable quality (such as claiming to be a wildlife guide and charging people to get on his tour bus).


Added DiffLines:

* SurferDude: Mario. While the other guys in the group can certainly be TotallyRadical, Mario's the one with the radical accent and, like, the constant word choice to totally go along with it.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Morton Fizzback's goons are often dimwitted and slow on the draw, much to his constant frustration.


Added DiffLines:

* WrenchWench: Casey handles whatever machine issues come up for the group.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Morton Fizzback has sometimes fallen into this when insisting there's a real dinosaur out there. Even actually producing Denver in the flesh sometimes doesn't do him any good, due to onlookers being fed up with whatever other scam he was running.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: In some episodes, Denver is dismissed as just a guy in a monster costume. He even spends "Dinoland" wandering around the park because the manager mistook him for an employee.
