!!LEGO City Adventures features the following tropes:

* AmbiguousDisorder: Solomon Fleck is very odd even compared to many of LEGO City's residents, wearing a corn costume to work despite being the Mayor, seems to have a hard time having interpersonal relationships with the people who work under him, and is [[{{Workaholic}} devoted]] to his job.



* BreakingTheFourthWall: In "The Spooky One", Duke, Freya, and Shirley complain about kids spending most of their time desensitizing themselves to the world by watching cartoons, only for Shirley to backtrack and say that there isn't anything ''wrong'' with watching cartoons, with the three then giving PuppyDogEyes as Freya begs the viewer to not turn off whatever the viewer is watching the episode on.



* DenserAndWackier: While the series is generally more SliceOfLife fare than LEGO's more action-oriented lines, it also ''heavily'' emphasizes the incredibly quirky cast and is fond of [[BetterThanABareBulb making fun of numerous stock tropes]].



* EnsembleCast: The series has no singular main character, with each episode giving the limelight to one of LEGO City's many characters.



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When Mayor Fleck requests for the citizens to help about the "Paradoors" door]].

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When Mayor Fleck requests for the citizens to help about stop the "Paradoors" door]].city from being destroyed door, he doesn't wear his corn costume. Parodied when he has to put it back ''on'' when nobody recognizes him at all]].



* SliceOfLife: While there are episodes with upped stakes, the series is generally about the civilians of LEGO City and what they get up to in their daily life.



* {{Workaholic}}: It's nearly impossible to get Mayor Fleck to stop working and not even his office being set on fire can discourage him from doing so.
