* StillBelievesInSanta: Exaggerated. In the episode "Marshtato Fairy", it's shown that, as a standard for Troll society, every Troll believes in their entire life about the existence of a titular Marshtato Fairy character, who is responsible for the supposed annual Marshtato harvest. The only Troll to have known the truth behind the myth thus far was Branch, but he decided to not tell it in order to avoid ruining the Trolls' life.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Occurs no matter how odd their world is with only one lampshade hanging. In ''Whimsy Wasps'' Smidge points out the biological impossibility of both a species that feeds on whimsy and one that feeds on boringness. Both times she's countered by Cooper pooping cupcakes on the spot, which she concedes to. Another episode has Branch point out the evolutionary nonsense of a plant on a remote island that swallows trolls whole to spit them out with a makeover, yet the plot of another episode was about them hunting for swag by tickling a species of deer until they puked it up. Not to mention all the apparently natural instances of OrganicTechnology the trolls use like giant beetles that are turntable sound systems or the small bug-like critters they use as boomboxes.

** In the episode "Fluffleberry Quest", the Snack Pack go on a mission to restore the lost Fluffleberry cake recipe made by Branch's grandmother. Once the recipe is restored, the Snack Pack decide to try a Fluffleberry cake for themselves, but they think that it has a missing ingredient once they find it to have a bad taste. They go on another trip in order to find the supposed missing ingredient, only to be told by Branch that it was used to make the dish and the cake's recipe was actually correct. He takes a slice of the cake for himself, which gets the rest of the Snack Pack disgusted.
** Trolls have been shown to generally dislike Fluffleberry. The only other Troll who's shown to like it is Nova Swift, who was seen drinking a Fluffleberry latte.

* RealityEnsues: Rather than perform a HappyEndingOverride, the series looks into the consequences of the movie's ending.
** While the Bergens are no longer out to eat trolls, and it's clear that they do understand happiness can be found outside of eating one, there are still plenty of tensions between the two groups, along with plenty of cultural misunderstandings that the parties have to actively work to resolve.
** Yes, Branch did get his colors back and is capable of being happy again. That said, it doesn't erase who he was, and he still has a paranoid and pessimistic streak that he can carry too far. He even does a LampshadeHanging a few times that his current attitude is still pretty new, and still has issues to work through.
** Several episodes has Poppy dealing with her newfound responsibilities as queen. Naturally, her happy-go-lucky attitude isn't enough to solve certain problems the village has.
* ReferenceOverdosed: While the ''Trolls'' movies have made a few references, ''Trolls: The Beat Goes On!'' brings it UpToEleven by including a bunch of them per each season, a decent part of which come from episode titles. See the show's [[ShoutOut/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn Shout-Out]] page for a list.

**This is particularly true in regards to Branch's movie backstory. He is always depicted as a child featured with his adult colouration, as it is seen in the show. However, Branch was grey for over 20 years prior to both the movies storyline and the shows start; he should be grey in all of the appearences as most event take place within the 20 years since the Trolls broke out of Bergen Town. When his childhood is brought up, the show only talks about the last 10 years since he supposdly started his "Bunker Days".
**Speaking of which, life in the Troll Tree is never mentioned at all in the show and as a result the imprisonment of the Trolls in Troll town is never acknowledged. King Peppy is mentioned to have had a number of adventures in his youth - none of which were hindered by the presence of the Bergens at all.
