to:

* ArrangedMarriage: Bean is (reluctantly) engaged to a prince due to political scheming by her father. However, she outright rejects him as a husband during their wedding day, resulting in a catastrophe that ends with her fleeing the royal palace.
* BlackComedy: This show seems to aim for a fairly dark sense of humor, much like Groening's previous cartoons. The story even begins with Bean (unintentionally) causing her fiance at their wedding to (accidentally) [[DeathAsComedy kill himself in]] [[TooDumbToLive a very stupid way]].
* BlackComedyAnimalCruelty: While in self-imposed exile, Bean tries to take up a job as a butcher. However, she obliviously slaughters every animal in a ''pet shop'' instead.

Added DiffLines:

* AffectionateParody / DeconstructiveParody: Of medieval fantasy fiction in general.
* DarkerAndEdgier: It has been confirmed that, given the laxer censorship guidelines on Netflix, ''Disenchantment'' will have more adult content (such as nudity and violence) compared to Groening's previous cartoons, though it will not take it too far to the point of being gratuitous either.
* DysfunctionalFamily: The royal dynasty of Dreamland is strongly implied to be this. [[RebelliousPrincess Bean]] resents the fact that her father King Zog wants to [[ArrangedMarriage marry her off for political reasons]], and doesn't get along well with her younger brother Prince Derek either.
