  • I Ate WHAT?!:
    • Bubbles is given a soda with "gross stuff" inside it by Diesel Busters in "Bubbles Is Sick". We never do find out what the "gross stuff" was in question.
    • During this video, Dora sneaks poison into the food for the students. Everyone has this reaction when they find out what it was that got them sick.
  • Idiot Ball: Among numerous examples:
  • Implausible Deniability: This video is an example of this as it pertains to the "(Character) Gets A Job" videos. During Daisy's employment at all four workplaces, she tells would-be customers that the restaurant/store is out of the things they are specifically trying to order despite blatant proof saying otherwise, to the point of outright gaslighting. For example, she tells Kai-Yu and his parents that Chuck E. Cheese's is out of Pepsi despite there being a large bottle of it in the cooler behind her (which she tries to pass off as Wild Cherry Pepsi, but Kai-Yu and family just simply leave in annoyance at this point), tells customers that Red Lobster's menus are out-dated when they insist that the dish that the restaurant is allegedly no longer serving is still listed in the recently printed menus (When one customer points out that the copyright date is up-to-date, Daisy passes this off as an error), and out-right tells a customer at Buffalo Wild Wings that her eyes are deceiving her when she tells Daisy that customers are currently at the drink machines getting the fountain drinks that the restaurant is supposedly out of.
  • Insufferable Genius: Alan Cook can definitely be a bit too much when it comes to punishing Warren. However, on the other hand, he seems to be familiar with even the most obscure films and the last film made for official VHS release, allowing him to give Warren the correct dates of releases for films.

    J 
  • Jerkass Has a Point: In this video, while Elena may've stepped over the line at the end by telling Dora that she hated her, keep in mind that Dora was the one who started by the fire and didn't bother to put the candle that Elena gave her in a safe place. While Elena could've been a bit less harsh, she was right about Dora being at fault for getting them stuck in a cramped apartment.
  • Joker Jury: Boris attempts to use this against his family in this video, only to end up failing as Boris is ultimately arrested.

    K 
  • Kangaroo Court: Subverted in this video, in which Boris accuses the court of being this trope, but it actually turns out to be a positive outcome for Caillou, as Boris is declared mentally insane for having a "grounding fetish", all while Boris attempts to paint Caillou as the most obnoxious brat in history, and himself as the only sane person in his family, even going as far as to try and ground the courtroom when the sentencing is handed down.

  • Negative Continuity: Parodied in "WARREN COOK'S DAD MAKES A CRITICAL ERROR IN JUDGEMENT" and "Eric gets grounded and wakes up to a realization".
  • Never My Fault:
    • During the events of this video, Warren Cook plays a joke on his dad and says that a tornado is about to hit their house (when there actually isn't one (not nearby, anyway); Alan is quite annoyed when he finds this out). Later, a tornado actually shows up, but Alan thinks Warren is crying wolf again when Warren comes to tell him in a panic. The tornado destroys their house, and Alan proceeds to blame Warren for not warning him about the tornado even though that was exactly what Warren was doing and Alan was the one who kept brushing him off and not listening.
    • This Macusoper video has Macusoper's homework getting stolen by the star student purely to annoy Macusoper. Despite Macusoper's claims to his teacher (a blatant Author Avatar) that Jake had stolen his homework and that the latter lied about the homework being his, the teacher brushes off Macusoper's claims as putting the blame on Jake, leading him to ultimately get a suspension without any investigation done to prove Macusoper's case.
    • "Dora Talks Smack and Gets a White Slip" has Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and Dora's mom, Veena, refusing to sign it just so her daughter can get into more trouble. After getting expelled from school, Dora is blamed for it by Veena, when it was the latter's fault for willingly refusing to sign Dora's slip.
    • In this video where Caillou and his family goes to New York City to see the ball drop on New Year's Eve, Caillou only winds up misbehaving because Doris first backhandedly then explicitly insults Caillou, making him mad and and resulting in him knocking the dropping ball down. True, Caillou knocking the ball down was a bit of an overreaction, but Caillou only misbehaved in the first place because Doris triggered him, yet Caillou is still held fully responsible for the mess when Doris was the one who instigated Caillou's tantrum in the first place by calling Caillou an "annoying crybaby brat". (And this was after she had spent most of the video telling him not to misbehave only to cause one of Caillou's signature tantrums herself.)
  • No Prison Segregation:
    • In the now-deleted video "Boris fails to rob the bank", when Caillou is put in jail for being a baby show character, he is put in the same cell as Boris, when Caillou is a kid and Boris is an adult.
    • In "Caillou puts Rosie in the blender" (which is currently only known to exist as part of this compilation), when Caillou is sent to prison for killing his own sister with a blender, he is sent to an adult prison despite being only 4 years old.
  • Not So Above It All: When it comes to the Little Bill characters, April is normally more well behaved than Little Bill, however in April gets Little Bill Arrested, then gets Grounded, she spills some crap on the pavement outside the Glover's household to get Little Bill in trouble, causing the latter to get arrested. Once Little Bill is proven innocent, she ends up getting grounded.

    P 
  • Perverse Sexual Lust: In this video, Caillou is infatuated with all of the Thea Sisters... at once. He even says they're hotter than Dora. Considering that some video makers ship Caillou with Dora...
  • Pineapple Ruins Pizza: In Caillou Goes to Italy and Orders Pineapple Pizza/Executed/Grounded, Caillou says that they should get pineapple on pizza. Boris yells at him for such a suggestion and claims that it's an "insult to pizza". When Caillou goes to an Italian restaurant to prove him wrong, Mario is infuriated and has two men shoot him dead.
  • Place Worse Than Death: Several videos show characters being sent away to foreign locations, only for something to go wrong for them, such as nearly being killed by an Eldritch Abomination, or their voice (or even form) being changed. Status Quo Is God, however, as they mainly end up escaping. Take this video, for example, where Warren Cook is sent to Japan, and ends up undergoing both a Race Lift and Gender Bender as he becomes an Animesque Lil' Peepz character.
  • Politically Incorrect Hero: In this video, we have the "hero" Princess Peach (seen as the Author Avatar). When Susie Carmichael attempts to get revenge at Peach's family for getting her expelled from school, Peach's sisters proceed to list why they hate Susie, one of the reasons being due to her being "black". Despite this, however, no one pays attention to it, and Susie is ultimately grounded anyways.
  • Potty Emergency:
    • Caillou has an extreme emergency in this video. He starts to have to pee while in the car on the way to see Zootopia, but his parents won't let him stop at a rest stop. They still won't let him go when they arrive at the theater, and when there are only 15 minutes until the movie ends, Caillou wets himself.
    • "Turds Day" has this happen to a guy while at a friend's house, and for some reason won't listen to his friend to just walk in the other direction he's walking to find the restroom. The friend gets tired of the man's ignorance and decides to put a rock on the toilet so when he finds it he won't be able to go. When the guy finds the bathroom, he settles for pooping on his friend while the latter is asleep.
    • This script has a narrator tell a story of one that happened to PC Guy in rhyme.
    • 36-year-old Kimberly Clark wants to use the bathroom in Matthew takes too long..., but her 11-year-old son Matthew is in there and refuses to hurry. Eventually, Kimberly can't hold back her poop any longer and so it leads to crapping herself. Afterwards, she grounds Matthew.
    • In an alternative version she decides not to wait any longer and takes a massive dump in Matthew's room. In the end she even forces him to clean her butt with his tongue.
    • Destiny has one while in the car in Destiny Needs The Bathroom.
  • Potty Failure:
  • Protagonist-Centered Morality: In this video, Azul, the blue train from Dora the Explorer challenges Gordon to a race. During the race, Dora sends Boots to stand in the tracks in Gordon's way so Azul can pull ahead, and this is treated as Azul and company cheating. Once Gordon is able to move again, Thomas and the others send James to sit in Azul's way so Azul can't move either, just as Boots was doing, only this time, this is treated as fair and acceptable, and no one questions the actions of the tank engines as Gordon scores his victory.

  • Unbuilt Trope:
    • This video, possibly the first Grounded video to ever be made, sees the troublemaker expelled from school and grounded for backtalking to his teacher... only to be readmitted and unpunished after he apologizes to the principal (the punishment in question is more reasonable than what would become the norm, too - he's merely banned from TV for two weeks and from attending a friend's birthday party).
    • This early "(Character) Misbehaves at (Restaurant)" video similarly has the main character throwing a fit for the considerably less petty reason of not being able to order 80 dollars worth of food from a Popeye's restaurant instead of, say, the restaurant being out of the drink they wanted with their meal. Also, instead of destroying the restaurant, the character simply ransacks the counter and knocks the menu board down (albeit still injuring the cashier in the process). Finally, instead of the character's tantrum getting mass media attention (complete with the kid being humiliated on national television), all that happens as a result of his actions (besides getting grounded) is that he and his mother are banned from ever going to Popeye's again.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight:
    • While Giygas is beating up Paula on the bus, aside from the teacher, everyone else on the bus is just looking straight forward as if nothing is happening at all.
    • In this video, a fight breaks out between a disruptive man with a mohawk and a middle-aged businessman in a theater showing Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). Even when the businessman wins the fight by taking a dump on the other guy, everyone else in the theater just keeps watching the movie as though the two fighting men aren't even there, nor does anyone working at the theater even try to break up the fight.

  • Wham Episode: "Caillou and Boris go out on a date" has Boris and Caillou meeting Satan.
  • Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Played for Drama in this video. Caillou tells Steve Wilkos that one of the reasons why his parents abuse him is because they thought his name was idiotic.
  • Worst Aid:
    • Rosie's birth in this video is accomplished by the nurse surgically removing her from Doris's womb, a birthing method that is really only used in extreme or critical situations and not normal healthy pregnancies like Doris seems to have in the video.
    • In this video (as well as others like it, since it's part of a trend), the doctors need to put chest tubes into the injured Author Avatar's chest. They do this by drilling them into the character's chest with a power drill, which causes immense pain to the patient and could have possibly made things worse. And that isn't even getting into the fact that the injured character doesn't even seem to be under any sort of anesthetic as this happens.
    "WAE-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH-WAE-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH STOP IT IT HURTS!! OH OH HO OH OH OH OH WAE-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-AH!!!"
