* RapunzelHair: The witch's daughter spots this in a spoof of the main story. Ironically she models as a day job for a shampoo company.

* RealityEnsues:
** Naturally with all the adventures the duo get into before school time, it prevents them from getting to school on time.
** In "The Ninja", said ninja the duo meet tries to train them to pass his master's test. However it's only a short amount of time before said test and they can't learn techniques that take years of practice in a matter of minutes.
** In "The Shooting Star" [[spoiler: Malika turns to feed the bully star sunlight in order to get it to become full enough to stop pursuing the smaller one. Forgetting that when a star grows big, it burns out and can sometime turn ''into a black hole'' when it goes supernova, which unfortunately for Nate, the little star and her, is what happens.]]
** In "The Flash", Nate and Malika try to prevent Terry from taking their picture with the magic camera by hiding behind a trash can lid so it won't make a negative of them. It fails and make a negative Malika since, as her negative points out, it's a trash can lid, not a mirror.

* LateForSchool: Nate and Malika spend every episode trying to avoid being late for class, but they always get distractedb y all sorts of strange adventures along the way.

* TyrannosaurusRex: In "The Dinosaur", Maurice gets turned into a ''T. rex'' due to coming in contract with a spray that turns people and animals into dinosaurs. Nate turns himself into one to confront Maurice and give him the antidote.

A second season has been confirmed.

* CityOfWeirdos: The town Nate and Malika reside in is just utterly nuts. Among other things it had a Roman coliseum under it, a haunted house, the sewer has goblins living in it, a candy store is run by gnomes, the lake is home to mermaids, no less then ''three'' witches have appeared in the show, a giant oddly leaves there, etc and that's not even counting all the stuff that passed by the town (dragons, monsters, shooting stars, ''Santa''). Yet oddly Nate and Malika are the only ones who keep encountering this stuff.

** ''The Enchanted Frog": When the witch's daughter goes to distract her mother so Nate, Malika and her frog transformed boyfriend can get into the house. She calls she needs help with her hair due to it being "[[Disney/{{Tangled}} tangled again]]".

** "The Tree People" has some to ''Film/StarWars'' with the elderly tree sprite being Yoda in a sense, Nate carrying her just as Luke had did to Yoda in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.

The premise is that the titular Nate and his best friend, Malika are always trying to get to school before the bell rings. Seems easy enough to remedy right? Not with these two, as every time they even attempt to arrive early, they always end up in some outlandish adventure which forces them to arrive late and have to explain their reason to their principal for their tardiness. Though at least along the way, they learn some aesops in the process.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: "The Werewolf" features one that can change without needing a full moon just by the scent of food. Though the transformations can be contained by a special necklace. She can still pass on her condition by a bite or scratch, though there is an antidote for lycanthropy.

* TakenForGranite: In the Leprechaun episode, Nate and Malika aid said leprechaun named Shawn who explains that if a leprechaun gold is completely stolen, they'll turn to stone. Sure enough this does happen to him but luckily Malika had some money on her to revive Shawn and allow the three to finish their objective.
* TimeStandsStill: Happens in "The Pocket Watch" when the duo manage to get said watch to the clock repaiman. He manages to fix it but just as he goes to wind the watch, it freezes everything around save for them. The duo have to finish fixing the watch themselves and get time moving again.

** "The Magic Book" has the duo sucked into a storybook Malika was reading.

--> '''Prudence''': Nate and Malika. Always try to get to school. But everyday there's an adventure. That is so incredibly, amazingly cool!
--> '''Nate''': Hey let's go, Malika!
--> '''Malika''': Oh Yeah! You got it, Nate!
--> '''Both''': So sorry, Principal Prudence! We're always, ''always'' late, late, late! ''Always always late, late, late!''

''Nate is Late'' is a French-Australian cartoon that premiered in 2018.

!! ''Nate is Late'' has the following tropes:

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Zig-zagged. The duo will save the day in whatever situation they're in, but they'll always fail to make it before school starts.
** Subverted in the Future episode where the duo actually do make it on time for once due to their future friend warping them to the school before the bell rung.

** "The Lucky Ring" : A cursed ring that brings bad luck to it's user. [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Hmm where've we heard that before]]? Heck the ring even glows when Nate and later, Malika grab it and the two having a bewitched look about then when it does. So much so Nate has to snap the latter out of it when she gets a hold of it.

* TimeStandStill: Happens in "The Pocket Watch" when the duo manage to get said watch to the clock repaiman. He manages to fix it but just as he goes to wind the watch, it freezes everything around save for them. The duo have to finish fixing the watch themselves and get time moving again.
