* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: A surprisingly onesided example. Despite all the normal abuse he endures Goliath is extremely relieved and affectionate with Teresa after she escapes being trapped in the mirror dimension. Teresa is less then enthused but tolerates it for a least a couple of hours before trying to pry him off her leg.

* AdultsAreUseless: All adults in Cucurtown, with the exception of Simon. Teresa's species isn't terribly much better given the amount of time her commanders spend laughing at her suffering instead of helping, Goliath bumbling constantly, and [[spoiler:how easily one of their warriors was overcome by the appeal of stardom.]]

* BecomingTheMask: In "Lights, Camera, Invasion!" Teresa convinces the town to act in a movie where they are the victims of a monster. Naturally, it's a ploy to capture and enslave the townsfolk, and the monster is a Kemii soldier. However, the people's adoration compells the Kemii to change his role from villain to hero.

* TheDogBitesBack: While Goliath takes the brunt of Teresa's shabby treatment, a few episodes have him taking vengeance somewhat.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatDoTheyFearEpisode: In "Fear Itself", Teresa learns about phobias and builds a device that can scan a mind and project a hologram of that phobia. The phobias seen throughout the episode range from normal to absurd. Simon is afraid of heights, Violet, public speaking, Pixel fears cows wearing party hats, and Max is afraid of the dark. Teresa herself turns out to be afraid of ventriloquist dummies.

* LovePotion: In "Crazy In Love", Teresa learns that LoveMakesYouDumb, and crafts a spray that causes people to fall in love with the first thing she sees. She makes Goliath fall for a squirrel, Max's dad fall for a bee, Pixel fall for Max's mom, [[ShipTease Violet fall for Max]], Simon fall for a fast food drive-up speaker (Designed to look like a clown), and Max fall for an over mitt. Luckily, the spray's effects can be undone by soaking the victim in water. At the end, Teresa reports that love is simply too unpredictable to deal with.

In "Saving Goliath" this trope gets deconstructed though: Teresa gets so tired of her sidekick's incompetence that she plans on replacing him for a new one, and the episode's plot resolves around Max and his friends coming up with schemes to convince Teresa that Goliath is still useful, fearing that any potential replacement for Goliath would be much harder to defeat.

* SuperstitionEpisode: Played with. In "Eyes Closed Friday", Teresa discovers the concept of superstition, unknown to the Kemii, and tries to use it in her favor by creating new superstitions, in which the townsfolk of Cucurtown start believing when, with the help of Goliath, she makes the superstitions come true. This is part of an elaborate plan for the Kemii to deliver Teresa a giant robot without being noticed, so she manipulates the Cucurtown citizens into closing their eyes for an entire hour, when the robot is due to be delivered.
