5	----
6	!!Tropes that apply to episodes of ''Gabba Gabba''...
7
8	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: The titular parents of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin 'my embarassing parents']].
9	* [[spoiler:AntiClimax]]: The end of episode one, with the FANTASTIC FIRE-SWALLOWING ELEPHANTS! [[spoiler:A shame the power got turned off.]]
10	* CloudCuckoolander: The brother of The Siblings. He tries to get their money back once, by being a 'card shark', whispering "Po-ker-face..." to himself as the game begins, and [[EpicFail holding the cards turned the wrong way.]]
11	-->'''Dealer:''' How many cards?
12	-->'''Player 1:''' One.
13	-->'''Player 2:''' Two.
14	-->'''The Brother:''' ''(confidently)'' NONE.
15	-->'''Dealer:''' Alright, how much do you bet?
16	-->'''Player 1:''' One.
17	-->'''Player 2:''' Two.
18	-->'''The Brother:''' EVERYTHING.
19	-->'''The Sister:''' Yeah--are you really sure? 'Cause that's everything we have--
20	-->'''The Brother:''' Yes--I'm--sure. ''(pointing to the cards, conspiratorically)''
21	-->'''Player 1:''' I call.
22	-->'''Player 2:''' I fold. ''(throws cards down)''
23	-->'''Dealer:''' And, yeah, we already know which cards you have...
24	-->'''The Brother:''' Exactly! I win! ''(throws the cards down, backs up)'' Full match with these crazy patterns! Hah hah hah...hey, ''(motioning to Player 2)'' you should have been in, you had some great cards!
25	** Also, The Sister. When visiting a psychiatrist, the Brother says this:
26	-->'''The Brother:''' Once, she said I was a bathroom. [[NoodleIncident Then she tiled me.]]
27	* DepravedDentist: [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The Dentist.]] Although he seems more like he just wants some friendly conversation and some respect.
28	* DropTheCow: In the beginning of the first episode, no less. One of the members of the cast thoughtfully warns us by pointing up.
29	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Johnny and the Fish.
30	* JerkAss: Jesper Rönndahl -- thus very satisfying that he gets [[HumiliationConga vast comeuppance in most his sketches]].
31	* SillyWalk: A very memorable use by an interviewer who just can't seem to get it right. When he's told to just stand still, [[spoiler:the nuclear power plant that they're reporting about explodes.]]
32	* StopHavingFunGuy: Stephan from the Office sketches. Also, Majken and Dorotea from the scouts.
33	* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Subverted -- Kringlan has a message for Jesper and Amelie. He can't find the words to describe it, so Jesper suggests he sing it...before Kringlan points out that he can't sing, so he dances it out with interpretive dance in a simple choreography to 'Boom Boom Pow'.
34	-->'''Jesper''': ...So...[[ComicallyMissingThePoint you're shy?]]\
35	'''Kringlan''': [[SubvertedTrope ...Yeah.]]
36	* TherapyBackfire: Happened (though the details are a bit fuzzy). In short, The Siblings are recurring characters, trying to get their stuff back after a fire. Once, they went to therapy, and the therapist kept agreeing with The Brother, who was always [[TheFool the cheerful fool]] of the two, whereas The Sister was a bit more overbearing, yet with an angry streak. The therapist agreeing with The Brother caused The Sister to freak, which led to the therapist agreeing more with the Brother, and so on...
37	* ThisIsADrill: The Dentist's drill. It...it's a drill. A real, live, construction drill. Be afraid. Be ''very'' afraid.
38	* TooDumbToLive: The Siblings. A fire occurred, and they saved three things -- a runner (that is, the partially-covering-table-cloth thing, not an athlete, that might have been slightly more worth saving), a furbolero, and 'food' (a miserable, charred plate with an ashy burger on). They also don't seem to have grasped, after the accident, that the burnt things do not come back.
