* AbortedArc:
** Everything surrounding the Sorceress was pretty much forgotten after the episode ''Sorcerer in Love 2'', with the character never reappearing in the second season.

[[caption-width-right:350:Smoke bomb!]]

** Also taken UpToEleven in that he calls out ''everything''. "Ninja Sprint!" "Ninja Stop Ninja Stop Ninja Stop!" "NINJA FLIP!" "Ninja Rotating-Table-Slide!"

* InvisibleParents: With the notable exception of Hannibal [=McFist=] and his wife Marci, we don't see any parent in at any moment (unless you count [[TheVoice Bucky's mother]]). In fact, Randy's parents are not seen in at any moment, although he names his mom sometimes.
** We finally can see Mort Weinerman, Howard and Heidi's father, in Season 2.

% %* MadScientist: Both Jerry Driscoll and Viceroy. There's even a university for mad scientists.

* DemBones: Jerry Driscoll.

* DumbJock: Bash doesn't have a whole lot going on upstairs.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Randy and Howard, obviously.
** Perhaps less obviously, Hannibal and Viceroy.

* HollywoodChameleons: Possibly subverted, seeing as they were robots.

* KamehameHadoken: The Ninja Air Fist.

* KillItWithFire: The weakness of the Blob monster in ''Monster Dump''.

* LargeHam: "I NEED! TO USE! THE BATHROOM!"

* MadScientist: Both Jerry Driscoll and Viceroy. There's even a university for mad scientists.

* NoNameGiven: Several recurring characters have no name. A notable example if Flute Girl.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Marci's mother to [=McFist=].

* PerkyGoth: Julian

* ProphetEyes: The Sorcerer.

* RaginCajun: Catfish is definately this.

* SecretIdentity: Randy has a hard time grasping this concept.

* ServileSnarker: Viceroy.

* SickAndWrong: These types of events happens and Randy usually responds with "Shnasty."

* SitcomArchNemesis: Brent, S. Ward Smith's apprentice, is apparently this towards Howard.

* SpitTake: In ''Gossip Boy'', Randy did this when Howard mentioned that he knows who the Ninja is live on Heidi's blog show.

* UglyGuyHotWife: [=McFist=] and his wife, Marci.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: In ''The [=McHuggers=] Games'', [=McHuggers=], a [=McFist=] product Randy stole as the Ninja, is the item of interest of the episode that Randy learns that it is wrong to steal even from his enemy.

* KiddieKid: Both Randy and Howard are 14, yet they act as 10 year old kids, being obsessed with junk food and being prone to play some rather childish pranks on other people. This is justified, as this is a children’s show, and depicting 14 year olds in mature situations would exceed the boundaries of such programming.

* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The Ninja Suit.
** Possibly subvertable, as the Nomicon has the ability to "turn off" the Ninja Suit, thus technically making the Nomicon the thing that gives you powers, although it does this by using the Suit as a medium...

!!This show provides examples of:

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: The solution to many episodes' problems or completely avoiding the problem in the first place are almost always presented to Randy by the Nomicom. Randy, almost every single episode, comes up with an extremely roundabout interpretation of the Nomicom's advice that suits his desires. This is especially egregious in that the Nomicom's advice is almost always far clearer than that of similar objects throughout much of fiction. For instance, one episode involves Randy going on vacation to a resort island that keeps an eye on the guests' pulses. If they get too stressed out, they get catapulted back to the mainland. Randy gets very close to getting kicked off more than once when he runs into [=McFist=], who is there in order to relax with his wife and not be evil for once. The Nomicom's advice can be summed up as "Don't poke the bear." Randy comes to the conclusion that ''he'' is the bear and gets [=McFist=] kicked out of the resort, which naturally sets [=McFist=] off.
** It's also indirectly implied that Randy is aware of this. At one point he and Howard think it would be cool to set free some animals taken from Detention Island that are being used as sideshow attractions by [=McFist=]. They are genuinely surprised and excited when the Nomicom tells them in plain terms that this is a good idea. [[spoiler: Things only go south when they decide to keep the animals in Randy's garage as pets.]]
** The few examples of this rule being broken are as follows:
*** In ''Ninjaception'', [[spoiler: Randy is caught in a LotusEaterMachine]] and thus cannot consult the Nomicom as he usually would.
*** The season two finale has the Nomicom suggest to Randy that an unlikely ally is the key to defeating Evil Julian. [[spoiler: Randy assumes that the Nomicom meant Howard. Nobody can blame him for not even considering the Sorcerer as a potential ally.]]

* KiddieKid: Both Randy and Howard are 14, yet they act as 10 year old kids, being obsessed with junk food and being prone to play some rather childish pranks on other people.

* ItsPronouncedTropay: It's pronounced "klüb", not "club".
