Added DiffLines:

* DenserAndWackier: Downplayed. While the other films are fairly cartoonish and screwball, ''Summer Vacation'' is much zanier and full of slapstick than the others to the point where many compare it to a ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon. Special mentions go to the RoadRunnerVsCoyote relationship Dracula had with Abraham Van Helsing, the FailureMontage where Ericka tries and fails to kill Dracula without him even noticing, the AmusingInjuries Drac sustains in the temple and the AsideGlance he gives before shrugging and joining in on "The Macarena" during the climax (ItMakesSenseInContext)

Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the beginning of the film, when Griffin tells Dracula that he can find love with a phone app, he panics and deflects that he is too busy, ending the conversation with "blah blah blah". When Frank calls attention to it, Drac is quick to deny it. Granted, he didn't say it with the inflection or intent the bad impression is meant to imply, but it still applies.

* MadeOfIron: When Dracula helps Ericka retrieve "her family heirloom", he uses his SuperReflexes, SuperSpeed and SuperStrength to move her out of the way of booby-traps. By the end of it, he has dozens of darts and arrows imbedded in his body, six poisonous snakes clinging to his arms, he gets crushed by a giant spiked ball and gets an ''axe in his head''. Not only does he not react to any of it, but he seems too love-struck to even notice any of it. Whether or not this is because of his vampire physiology or [[RuleOfFunny for the sake of comedy]] is vague, as none of it leaves a scratch on him.

* HumanPincushion: Drac gets hit with dozens of darts and arrows, venomous snakes, even an axe to the head, while protecting Ericka from a booby trapped- riddled temple in Atlantis.



* MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast: [[spoiler:To counter Van Helsing's evil music, Johnny and Drac play upbeat songs to snap the Kraken out of his control. They first try [[Music/TheBeachBoys "Good Vibrations"]] and it works, but Van Helsing plays the music louder and regains control; next they try "Dont Worry, Be Happy", with the same result. Finally, they succeed with, of all things "La Macarena".]]



* NotWhatItLooksLike: Mavis catches Ericka with Dracula just as she's trying to pull an axe embedded on his head, making it seem to Mavis like she was trying to kill her father.



* Really700YearsOld:
** The flashback to 1897 features not only Dracula but all of the main monsters. Dracula, Frank and Murray are undead, so them being around back then is not so surprising, but there is no explanation for Wayne or Griffin being that old.
** [[spoiler:Abraham Van Helsing has kept himself alive for over a century by gradually replacing his body with {{Steampunk}} machinery; his head and hands are evidently the only thing left.]]

When she finds him, though, she does realize that he's hiding something from her and comes to the conclusion that he's stressed and needs a break. Drac happily seizes upon this excuse, saying that it's exactly the case.*
