History WesternAnimation / Disenchantment

** Every season finale has some variation of the phrase "x falls".

** Season 4: [[spoiler:Bean is thrown into the sea and rescued by Mora the mermaid, but the rule of Dreamland has been usurped by Dagmar, and Bean has been separated from Luci and Elfo. Zøg has been kidnapped and thrown into a freakshow in Steamland along with Prince Derek, Jasper the Bear-Boy, Oodval and Laughing Horse.]]

* StableTimeLoop: Elfo goes back in time to stop whoever shot him with an arrow and killed him. Armed with a bow and arrow, he prepares to fire at whichever soldier shot past him, but when he does fire at a suspicious soldier, he misses and ends up hitting his past self in the back.

* ActorAllusion: Zog yelling "Bite my shiney, metal axe!" in Stairway to Hell is a parody of Bender's famous catchphrase in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Both characters happen to be voiced by John [=DiMaggio=].

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Ursula]] turns out to be alive after being seen falling down into an abyss on fire. She was kidnapped by the Steamland's Freak Show ringleader and only shows up in the Season 4 finale. In fact, her silhouette can be seen when being carried away by his blimp in the same episode, suggesting that he still captured her while she was alive.

* IAteWhat: Lampooned when it's implied that Hansel and Gretel have cooked Elfo and are serving him for dinner, Bean happily starts eating and remarks that she "likes this... but as a friend". When she pulls out a drumstick with a foot on the end, however, she's horrified -- in contrast to Luci, who just keeps eating.

** Elfo [[spoiler:is not a full-blooded elf. His father eventually reveals that Elfo is a hybrid that he had conceived with a non-elf mother, however Elfo runs out of time [[TheUnreveal before he can learn exactly who (or what) his mom was]]. And according to some additional information provided by Elfo's father, his mother may (possibly) be deceased, though there are hints that she might be alive (and may even be an ogress). This is later confirmed that Elfo's mother is the Ogre Queen]]

** That weird secret society / crazy sex cult that Odval, Sorcerio and the Arch-Druidess are members of? [[spoiler:Their ultimate goal was to remove King Zøg from power and replace him with Derek, whom they wish to manipulate as a PuppetKing. It's also heavily implied that Odval was aware of, if not complicit in, a failed assassination plot against Zøg by Sky Gunderson (a spy from [[{{Steampunk}} Steamland]]). Whatever the hell is going on, Odval and Dagmar have both been running their own (most likely separate) anti-Zøg conspiracies in total secrecy.]]

** On the other hand, this is seemingly averted in regards to [[EternalSexualFreedom the relationship between Odval and Sorcerio]], who are apparently gay lovers. Nobody seems to care about this one way or another, neither making homophobic remarks nor expressing sympathy for what would likely be a taboo romance.

* DownerEnding: All of the {{season finale}}s so far end on downer {{cliffhanger}}s:

* ActorAllusion: Zog yelling "Bite my shiney, metal axe!" in Stairway to Hell is an obvious parody of Bender's famous catchphrase in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Both characters happen to be voiced by John [=DiMaggio=].

** [[spoiler:The main trio being separated, without getting a chance to say goodbye one to another. At least they got each one a separated happy ending.]]
** [[spoiler: Satan being at last free from Dagmar. However, when he realizes that Lucia didn't came back in Hell, he very visibly misses him and his reaction implies he knows he probably never won't see him again.]]

** Early on, there's a scene where Bean leaves a tavern named the Flying Scepter where there's an oddly large number of random scepters laying around, stuck in beams, laying on the porch, sticking out of the thatched roof. A few episodes later, it's shown that these scepters are caused by the king routinely hurling them over the castle walls and into the city in rage over Bean's antics.

** And in the ultimate episode of the show, the TropeNamer literal example is also literally dropped. God drops Jerry's brick from the Heaven, and a few minutes later in the episode it lands on the reccuring complaining citizen's head. Double as an ExactWords moment, because just before he wished not to be stroke in the head with a flaming arrow, like his usual running gag through the entire show.

Nobody seems to care about this one way or another, neither making homophobic remarks nor expressing sympathy for what would likely be a taboo romance. So far it hasn't really been treated as a big deal even worth mentioning.
** Given that this takes place in the age before modern science, religion and superstition shape everyone's worldview. A [[CrystalDragonJesus quasi-Christian church]] is apparently in charge of Dreamland's state religion, and they're depicted as an [[StrawCharacter organization of strawmen]] who aren't even consistent in their own beliefs (a priestess expresses doubts over whether a God even exists or not).

--->'''Racist antelope:''' "An elf with a human girl? That ain't right." ''([[SpitefulSpit spits]])''

** Whatever Maru's Royal Family (Emperor Cloyd, Princesses "Becky" The Enchantress and Queen Dagmar) were secretly plotting to bring about regarding Princess Tiabeanie's destiny

* LodgedBladeRemoval: In the first episode Prince Guysbert gets his head impaled on a sword and is immediately written off as dead. However he doesn't actually die until the sword is removed eight episodes later, and his brain falls out.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Dragons are mentioned, but remain completely unseen so far. Merkimer claims to have fought a dragon once, and apparently they (or at least some of them) have the ability to shoot out fire "from ''[[{{Fartillery}} both]]'' ends". Later on, a dragon is believed to be attacking Dreamland, [[spoiler:though the "dragon" is actually an [[CoolAirship airship]] from [[{{Steampunk}} Steamland]] (it was generating sparks that caused a great fire in Dreamland, which was mistaken for dragon's breath). If the pilot of said airship is to be believed[[note]](keep in mind that he [[FlatEarthAtheist doesn't believe in magic]] in general, despite magic being real in this world)[[/note]]; then dragons [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane may not even exist]] in the show's world, with the other mentioned dragon sightings presumably being misidentifications of similar airships.]]

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: While ghosts haven't been seen yet, they are implied to exist due to this dialogue exchange; when Bean and Luci meet for the first time, she mistakes the demon for a "weird ghost guy", to which he retorts that "ghosts are losers that got murdered".
* OurGiantsAreBigger: So far only one giant has been seen, a huge woman named Tess. Despite her large size and great strength, she's quick to point out that she's (psychologically) not too different from other people. Unfortunately, they are [[FantasticRacism unfairly stereotyped]] as being [[AlwaysChaoticEvil dangerous]], [[DumbMuscle stupid brutes]] by humans.
* OurGnomesAreWeirder: Gnomes only appear in the first episode, being at war with the ogres. They look like garden gnomes.
* OurGodsAreDifferent: {{God}} himself appears in {{Heaven}}, and is the supreme divine being who created the universe. However, some dialogue implies that He may (or may not) have a brother, which could imply that there may be more deities that haven't been seen yet.

** During the final episode, Hencho counts down to a [[spoiler:spaceship launch]] that ends with him shouting "Blast off!", much like Fry did in the very first episode of the series.

* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Elfo is evidently attracted to women who are taller than he is, in particular Bean, though his one-sided crush on her has yet to develop into an actual romance.

* TheUnreveal:
** Malthus the Philosopher is about to tell Bean how he knows who she is, but Luci interrupts and makes them leave before he can.
** [[spoiler:We never find out exactly what species Elfo's mother was. Season 2 heavily implies that she was an ogress, but we still don't get a straight answer.]] We finally find out in Season 4. She was [[spoiler:an ogre princess]].

* HiddenElfVillage: Elves live in the secret town of Elfwood, which is cloaked by magic, and can only be accessed if the entrance gate is lowered down.

** And in the ultimate episode of the show, the TropeNamer literal example is also literally dropped. God drops Jerry's brick from the Heaven, and a few minutes later in the episode it lands on the reccuring complaining citizen's head. Double as an ExactWords moment, because just before he wished not to be stroke in the head with a flaming arrow, like his usual running gag through the entire show.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Downplayed, as there are more sweetness than bitterness. However, some points are less happy than others.]]

* OurTrollsAreDifferent: In this setting, trolls aren't physically all that dissimilar from elves. They're about the same height and overall appearance, with the only notable ''physical'' difference being that trolls can grow chest hair while elves can't. The other differences are mainly cultural: trolls will drink hard liquor, and don't like music.

* DemonDevilDistinction: The demons in Disenchantment resemble stylized silhouettes, while devils like Asmodel and Satan are BigRedDevilsand seem to be of higher standing in Hell.

* OverprotectiveDad:
** The downside to being a rebellious princess is that daddy Zøg tends to kill any man that Bean might want to sleep with, much to her dismay.
** Elf King Rulo sentences Elfo to death for having sex with his daughter, with Kissy's reaction showing this isn't remotely the first time this has happened.

* ActorAllusion: Zog yelling "Bite my shiney, metal axe!" in Stairway to Hell is an obvious parody of Bender's famous catchphrase in ''WesternAnimation/Futurama. Both characters happen to be voiced by John [=DiMaggio=].

* LandOfOneCity: Most of the sovereign countries featured in this show's setting, such as Dreamland and Elfwood, seem to be city-states, consisting of just one city or town with some surrounding countryside.

The show follows the magical misadventures of Bean (short for "Tiabeanie") ([[Series/BroadCity Abbi Jacobson]]), a rebellious young princess from the medieval kingdom of Dreamland. Tired of being bossed around by her controlling father King Zøg (Creator/JohnDiMaggio), she strives to follow her own path in life... and by that, we mean getting blind drunk and committing acts of devilry. She soon befriends a couple of strange companions: a goofy, naive elf named Elfo (Creator/NatFaxon), and a devious, snarky demon named Luci ([[Series/TheEricAndreShow Eric Andre]]). Along the way, the trio encounter ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools.
