— Opening Narration

Henry Danger was a live-action Nickelodeon Superhero comedy series created by Dan Schneider and Dana Olsen. The show premiered on July 26, 2014 and is the longest-running live-action scripted show ever produced for the network.^note SpongeBob SquarePants is the longest running scripted animated series, while Nick News with Linda Ellerbee is the longest-running series overall.

The series focuses on Henry Hart (Jace Norman), a boy who lives in Swellview, a small town that is no stranger to dangerous supervillain activity that is thankfully always stopped by the heroic yet bumbling Captain Man (Cooper Barnes). One day, Henry manages to get an after-school job at an old pawn shop only to discover that this oft-ignored store is actually a front for the secret lair of the superhero, with his new boss Ray Manchester being said hero. Promising to pledge secrecy to all of this information, Henry gets superpowers of his own and becomes Captain Man's new sidekick, Kid Danger. Coming along for the ride are Henry's best friends Charlotte (Riele Downs), who immediately figures out what's going on, and Jasper (Sean Ryan Fox), who remains blissfully unaware until the season two finale, as well as Captain Man's best friend Schwoz (Michael D. Cohen), who built the secret lair. Eventually, Henry's sister, Piper (Ella Anderson) who spent five seasons unaware of her brother's identity joins the fray after seeing him transform right in front of her.

Henry Danger takes place within the Nick Verse, having had crossovers with The Thundermans, Game Shakers, and Knight Squad. Notably, this is the first show Dan Schneider has produced since All That that doesn't feature a returning actor from one of his previous productions. After Schneider's departure from Nickelodeon in 2018, Henry Danger continued under co-producers Christopher J. Nowak and Jake Farrow, who had previously collaborated with Schneider on his three previous series, iCarly, Victorious, and Sam & Cat.

On August 31, 2019, Jace Norman confirmed the show's fifth season will be its last. Production officially wrapped on November 23 of that year. The final episodes began airing in January 2020, with the Grand Finale arc airing from Feburary 29 until March 21 of that year.

A short-lived animated Spin-Off, The Adventures of Kid Danger, premiered on January 15, 2018 and ended June 14 the same year. A film adaptation of the show is currently in development for release on Paramount+. Another spinoff, Danger Force, premiered on March 28, one week after the mothership's finale.

Not to be confused with Henry Darger.

Tropes in the series

Tropes #-E

• 13 Is Unlucky: The girl whose birthday is celebrated in “Birthday Girl Down” has her accident where she is knocked off the roof occur during her 13th birthday.
• 419 Scam: In "Danger Games", Piper was determined to get $1,000 for an email claiming to be from the Prince of Yerba who would give them $1 million in exchange for their help. However, this became a subversion of the trope as the scam was actually revealed to be real and Piper's nemesis Jana gave the prince the money, leading to the two of them dating.
• Accidental Kiss: "Elevator Kiss" revolves around Henry getting jealous with Bianca after accidentally kissing her as Kid Danger. She admits in the end the kiss was a mistake and it was meant for Henry himself.
• Accidental Misnaming:
  • In "Meet Cute Crush", Ray constantly referred to Piper as Paper. He knew her name, but it's likely he just didn't care to get her name right.
  • In "Spelling Bee Hard", Mary Gaperman calls Charlotte "Sherlock Paggy".
• Affectionate Parody: to many horror film tropes in the episode "Story Tank". Such tropes included the Creepy Doll, Creepy Twins ala The Shining (though made humorous with Charlotte and Piper as the twins), and a Zombie Apocalypse. The episode was about the different characters trying to tell Henry scary stories to scare him.
  • Even namechecked in "A Tale of Two Pipers" which parodied The Terminator. It was stated that the future robots even got the idea to enslave humans from the movie.
• A.I. Is a Crapshoot:
  • In "Twin Henrys", Gerta, shapeshifted into Henry, tries to take over his home life until Schwoz and her have a talk.
  • In "Love Bytes", Halley, the computer controlling the Man Cave, has a crush on Schwoz and defends him from everyone else, eventaually trying to kill them.
• Abusive Parents: Henry's parents have no qualms forcing their own son to cook dinner (preferably spicy meatballs) for them. This could count as child abuse, at least in a psychological and physical way.
• Action Girl: Averted with Charlotte. She even stated in "Kid Grounded" that she doesn't want to be the sidekick, though she does have the skills.
• Actor Allusion:
  • In the beginning of "Mouth Candy", Charlotte, alone, sings "O Canada". Riele Downs, who portrays Charlotte, is from Toronto, Canada.
  • Combined with Leaning on the Fourth Wall in "Live and Dangerous: part 1" where Goomer mentions that he had been hanging out with Frankini's sister. Frankini is played by Ariana Grande's brother and she starred in Sam & Cat where Goomer was also a character.
  • Again Leaning on the Fourth Wall in the episode "Henry Danger: The Musical" when Jasper and Schwoz were discussing who could help in the sing-off to stop the musical curse caused by Frankin. Ariana Grande was one of the possibilities they contacted, but they stated she was Team Frankini.
• Actual Pacifist: In "Opposite Universe", Alternate Piper is a sugary sweet girly girl who does not believe in violence.
• Adults Are Useless: Based on the end of "Jasper's Real Girlfriend," how could Charlotte's parents not have heard the commotion in their daughter's room?
  • Don't even get us started on Siren and Jake Hart: Henry and Piper's parents.
• An Aesop: "Henry & the Woodpeckers" teaches that trying to keep kids from recognizing failure and removing anything that might make kids feel bad could do more harm than good and that sometimes failure is necessary to help people grow.
• Aliens Speaking English: In "Danger Things", Kevin, the monster from a parallel dimension speaks English.
  • In "Knight and Danger" Ciara, Arc, and Ryker all spoke English despite being from a parallel dimension that is magical and based in a Medieval setting.
• Alliterative Name:
  • The title character's name is Henry Hart.
  • The naughty Social Studies teacher's name is Sharona Shapen.
  • Captain Man's fix-it guy is Schwoz Schwartz.
  • In the Bilsky family are Billy, Bysh, and their mother Britney.
• Almost Kiss: Between Henry and Veronika in the climax of "One Henry, Three Girls - Part 1"; they are interrupted by the police arresting her upon recognizing her as the Mad Granny, prompting Henry to end his relationship with her.
• Alpha Bitch: Paula Makiato, the former president of the Man Fans, is not a very nice person, as shown when she repeatedly berates Piper and does whatever she can to prevent her from joining.
• Alternate Identity Amnesia: After being corrupted by the virus in "A New Hero", Rick Twitler has no memory of his plan and Captain Man and Kid Danger's identities after he was returned to normal.
• Alternate Universe:
  • The aptly-titled "Opposite Universe" has Henry and Charlotte wind up in another universe where everything is flipped and everyone is the opposite of their real-world personality (Alternate Ray and Schwoz are destructive supervillains with facial hair, and Alternate Piper is obsessively nice and cheerful).
  • "Danger Things" had a monster named Kevin come from his own dimension.
  • "Knight and Danger" had three crossover characters come from a parallel universe.
  • "Theranos Boot" showed a number of alternative universes including one where everyone acted like cats and listened to Charlotte and one where everyone looked like and was called Henry.
• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents:
  • Henry's mother has no problem talking to him about his underwear in front of his friends.
  • In "The Whole Bilsky Family", Jake was horribly embarassing to Henry, including revealing his middle name was Pridence and absentmindedly agreeing with the school bully, Mitch, that Henry was a wuss.
  • Also in that episode, Billy, the White Sheep of the Bilsky family, was embarrassed by his mother talking about her injured toes and the fact the she not only wore jeans with a stain on her butt in the shape of a cow, but encouraged Henry and his father to "touch it and make it moo".
• Amusing Injuries: Due to Ray's Nigh-Invulnerability , everyone tends to treat his injuries as this. Especially notable in "A Tale of Two Pipers" when, after Ray is constantly thrown high in the air by a child robot, Henry deadpans that it is funny.
• And the Adventure Continues: Charlotte, Jasper, and Henry’s final scene has them head off to fight crime in Dystopia.
• And You Were There: Inverted in "Dream Busters" when Henry wakes up to see Captain Man and Schwoz, he tells them he had a very strange dream, but that "You weren't there" to both of them.
• Animorphism: At the end of "Twin Henrys", Schwoz's shapeshifting robot Gerta changes permantently into a bird.
• Agony Beam: Used at the end of "Tears of the Jolly Beetle" to make sure Captain Man was healed and indestructible again.
• Annoying Younger Sibling: Henry's little sister Piper.
• The Apprentice: Henry is this to Captain Man
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking:
  • The video Jasper is shown in the beginning of A Fiñata Full Of Death Bugs" is about not telling anyone the secret that Ray and Henry are Captain Man and Kid Danger. The consequences of doing so? tragedy, disaster, and loss of bladder control.
  • In the episode "Man of the House", the mother explains that she was mugged and had her purse stolen. Among the things stolen were her phone, wallet, and Yotally Togurt punch card with just one punch away from a free medium sized yogurt.
• Artificial Gravity:
  • In both the Love Shuttle and on the space station, there was artificial gravity in the two-part episode "Space Invaders". The space station had a switch that could turn it on and off, which became a plot point when fighting against Kid Danger.
  • In "Love Bytes", the computer Halley increases the gravity in the Man Cave where Ray and Henry are to prevent them, particularly Ray, from destroying her.
• Artistic License – Biology:
  • In "Toon in for Danger", after watching the horrible cartoon, Ray complains that frogs are vegetarians. In fact, most are carnivorous.
  • Lampshaded in "Green Fingers" when Schwoz was using Jasper's blood to come up with a cure for the disease he created. Schwoz had to use a gallon of Jaspers' blood for 2 doses, but needed two more gallons to cure the six people infected. Jasper told him he didn't think he had any more blood to give, which is right since the average adult has about 1.2-1.5 gallons
• Artistic License – Gun Safety: Played for laughs in the first part of "Thumb War". After seeing Jasper in a Thumb Buddies fan shirt, Captain Man gets furious at him and eventually picks up his laser gun and starts shooting wildly at him, causing him to run away and out of the room. That leads to this conversation with an angry Kid Danger:
  Kid Danger: That was incredibly dangerous. You could have seriously hurt Jasper.
  Captain Man: Oh don't worry, it was on light stun. (looks at laser gun) Ooh. Yikes. (he turns the power level down)
• Artistic License – Space: Lampshaded at the end of "Space Invaders part 2" when Captain Man is on the outside of an orbiting shuttle, he is yelling at those inside, who can hear him. The astronaut states that they shouldn't be able to hear him. He also comments that Captain man's hair shouldn't be moving the way it was (blowing in a wind).
• Artistic License – Statistics: In "Captain Jerk," they set up a contest where people have to guess a random number to meet Captain Man and Kid Danger. The random number is four digits, but it takes a very long time (a few days) for the final winner to guess the number, especially as they show the entire city obsessively trying to guess the correct number.
• As Himself:
  • Olympic snowboarder Shaun White in "Toon in For Danger".
  • Snoop Dogg appeared in a cameo in the crossover "Danger Games".
• As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Schowz sometimes rambles in frustration in some made up foreign language. Played for laughs in "J A M Session", while ranting he ends it with Aziz Ansari, Mayim Bialik as if these were negative terms in his language.
• Ascended Fanboy: Harry, Charlotte, and Jsaper become this trope. However, while the former two get over it fairly quickly given Ray's sometimes childish attitude, Jasper really never gets over getting to work with his hero, with him even excited that Captain Man said Jasper could even take a bullet for him if necessary despite the fact that Captain Man is immune to them.
• Ash Face:
  • At the end of "Henry's Frittle Problem", the father still has ash all over his body after the Frittle factory exploded (again).

• Backwards-Firing Gun: Schwoz made one in "The Time Jerker" in the form of a typical laser gun they use, but with a scope on top that actually shoots the shooter. In this case, it was just a painful, but harmless result.

  • Used in "Captain Man-Kini" when they brought Frankini and Goomer to the Man Cave.
• Bait-and-Switch Comment: Used quickly three times in a row in "Theranos Boot" when each person was trying to use a certain tool to get into a large wooden case that came to Ray in the mail. Each time they said you shouldn't try to get into the crate using that tool, [[Beat}} because another tool would work better.
• Beard of Evil: In "Opposite Universe", the evil versions of Captain Man, Schwoz, and Mr. Hart had beards, though Schwoz's would better be described as evil hair while Mr. Hart had stubble.
• The Bet:
  • In "Kid Grounded", Mrs. Hart makes a bet with Henry and Piper that if they can go a whole day without fighting or arguing with each other, they will be un-grounded; if they get caught arguing once, they will be grounded for a month.
  • In the b-plot of "Jasper's Real Girlfriend", Henry is not keen on cleaning his nacho-coated tube and makes a wager with Ray — Whoever loses the next ping pong match will have to clean the tube, with Ray wearing duck pajamas. Henry remembers a rule is to always stay focused, so Schwoz brings his cousin Larry to distract Ray long enough so Henry wins.
  • In "JAM Session", Ray and Jasper do a wager with Henry and Charlotte that he can make Piper lose her temper before the night ends; the losing team will have to eat raw pumpkin guts.
  • In "Spelling Bee", after Captain Man joins the Swellview Spelling Bee against Dr. Minyak, the bet they make is whoever loses has to pedal a child's tricycle all the way to California and back.
• Berserk Button:
  • While normally a bratty, high strung little girl, Piper generally is merely manipulative, not violent. Attack Kid Danger when she's around and she'll beat you up as seen in the episode Spoiler Alert.
  • In "Love Muffin", Henry had to push some of Ray's buttons such as his good looks and age in order to get him angry enough for the love potion to wear off.

  Jasper: YES!!! I got a "not bad" and a "nice job" on the same day! No wonder I got into Harberd...
• Bilingual Bonus: In "Henry the Man-Beast", Henry and Chloe go to an Italian restaurant called Sotto Voce, which basically means speak in a low voice. The staff insisted everyone speak in a low voice.
• Birthday Episode A Birthday, Not a Break:
  • The pilot episode "The Danger Begins" has Henry having to postpone attending Jasper's sad birthday party because he has to save Captain Man from the Toddler. In fact, Captain Man was only in trouble because he went alone when Henry told him it was Jasper's birthday and couldn't just abandon Jsaper.

  • "Birthday Girl Down" deals with Henry not invited to a classmate's birthday party because everyone thinks he knocked her off of her roof on her last birthday party.

She ultimately gets her comeuppance when Henry knocks her phone into the toilet and loses all her data, followed by Jasper secretly recording her attempting to sneak out to a night club too young for her age, and he begins giving her the same treatments that she gave him, threatening to expose her to Mrs. Hart if she disobeys.

One man had a face growing from his belly, one had his hands turned into feet while the third one had hands growing out of his ears that poked him in the eye.
  • At the end of "Saturday Night Lies", Ray's ex-girlfriend and her husband, who tried to steal Schwoz's teleportation device, tried to transport themselves back to England, but it instead morphed them into a mass of the two bodies, keeping them alive.

  • Season 5 had the more appropriate "Holiday Punch".

• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Gooch disappears after the first season for unknown reasons, his job having since taken over by Jasper.
• Clip Show: “Remember the Crimes”, late in the final season, the final episode before the four part Grand Finale. Included Hilarious Outtakes at the end of the episode. Even included a lampshade about being a clip show as they were late going to see Charlotte because they got distracted remembering funny things.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Captain Man is often seen "marching to the beat of his own drum." Jasper also comes off like this at times, though maybe not as much Sydney and Oliver.

• Cone of Shame: In the The Thundermans Crossover "Danger & Thunder", Piper gets "Text Neck" from staring down at her phone for too long, requiring her to wear a cone around her head. Since she can't text with it on, she gets Jasper to do it. Unfortunately, when she asks him to invite a boy named Steven to a party being hosted by her friend Emily, Jasper sends an invite to "Booger Steven" instead of "Super Cute Steven" by mistake, which causes all of Piper's friends to hate her.
• Continuity Nod:
  • In "Henry the Man-Beast," Piper gives advice to Jasper to get even with Henry after Henry bails on their plans to go out with a girl. She muses to herself that she could be a life coach. Cue to twelve episodes later in "The Bucket Trap" where Piper is, in fact, a life coach for the local neighborhood kids. Mind you, a sadistic one, especially to Jasper.
  • In "Spoiler Alert", when Piper meets Captain Man, she mentioned he shot an alien off her face in "The Space Rock".
  • Herb, the bearded guy who looks like a homeless man but is actually financially well off makes his appearance from Sam & Cat in the episode "Secret Beef".

  • "A New Evil" links together the portal from "Danger Things", the villain's spray of "Flabber Gassed", the cake from "Henry's Birthday", the bomb from "Whistlin' Susie", and the cactus from "The Great Cactus Con", all of which contained the emblem for Evil Science Corp.
    • Also in the episode, Jana Tetrazini is still dating Prince Fuh'ard which was first stated in "Danger Games".
  • "Knight and Danger" has the same man, Bill Evil, using his machine to open up a portal to another dimension, the same as he did in "Danger Things." Those events were even discussed.

  • In "Remember the Crimes", Charlotte complained that her kitchen still is unusable as Ray, Henry, and Jasper burned it down three episodes earlier in "Cave the Date".
• Continuity Reboot: This show apparently does this to the Schneiderverse, considering Dan's last show Sam & Cat ended the original era that dates back to All That thanks to its Troubled Production and that the main stars were unable to get along and this show features mostly fresh faces never before seen, as well as the Genre Shift from a somewhat down-to-earth sitcom that Dan's shows were to a superhero sitcom that this show is.
• Continuity Snarl:
  • Herb from Sam & Cat appears in "Secret Beef". However, in "Space Invaders Part 1", Piper and her guests are watching an episode of Victorious.
  • In "Love Bytes", Hallie, the computer is showing clips of Schwoz getting injured by the others in clips of past shows. One was of Henry shooting Schwoz from "The Time Jerker", but that only happened in the second time loop, which Henry reversed by going back through the time machine to undo everything.
  • The memory wiper has been used as erasing all of the memories of someone ("Substitute Teacher") or just specific memories such as knowledge of Charlotte by the villains ("The Beat Goes On"). However, during the four-part finale, Ray was surprised that the memory wiper could only wipe out full memories rather than specific memories.
  • In numerous episodes in the previous three seasons, the characters talk about or are shown flying in the Man Copter. However, in the season 4 episode "License to Fly", because they are using a rental helicopter, Ray tells Henry that the Man Copter does exist as if Henry won't believe that Ray has one.
  • In "Up the Stairs", they show a side stairway that leads from the Man Cave up to Junk N' Stuff. However, later in Secret Room, it is revealed that there were 10 Man Caves built by Schwoz, and not only didn't the stairs go down to the other lower Man Caves, but there were no doors on any level shown for the previous upper Man Caves that had been destroyed.
• Costume-Test Montage: Henry goes through several costumes before going for the one that matches Captain Man's costume.
• Create Your Own Villain: The Thumb Buddies turned into a life of crime because Henry and Ray refused to rescue them after they were tricked by Stainless Steve into being blasted into space. Ray said it wasn't their fault this happened, which is true, but The Thumb Buddies responded by saying the heroes went into space before to rescue the astronauts, and could have rescued them, also true.
• Creative Closing Credits: Letterboxed clips of various scenes throughout the episode, set to the show's theme song. The sole exception is "Super Volcano" which showed extended footage of Ray and Schwoz's dance scene instead.
• Crossover:
  • With fellow Nick superhero show, The Thundermans.
  • Later did one with Game Shakers.

• Curse Cut Short: At the end of "The Trouble With Frittles", Ray is angry at Schwoz after realizing Schwooz's sister was in the Man Cave with all of the frittle chips. Just as he is about to deliver the curse, we get the Hard Cut to show Winnie has eaten all of the chips.
• Cutting the Knot: In "The Secret Gets Out," Charlotte passes the Pickle Test by smashing the jar to get the pickle out.
• Cut the Juice: In one episode a cotton candy machine goes haywire. Jasper tries to turn it off, but the lever breaks, warranting this. Doesn't work as the outlet comes out.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Kevin from Danger Things looks like an evil alien kidnapper, but in reality, he's a nice guy who just wants to have friends, and treats kids to entertainment.
• Darker and Edgier: An interesting mix with Lighter and Softer, while this show is pretty light, the pilot's villain is actually killed off, and earlier he made a bridge collapse. They have also mentioned stuff you don't normally hear in Nick shows like hepatitis and Gengis Khan.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Discussed and ultimately subverted in "Meet Cute Crush" when Ray was trying to convince Henry to help his sister by recalling the time he lost his sister in a farm accident, before revealing he was just making it up.
• Dating Catwoman: Henry gets a crush on Veronika, who is part of a tagger group known as the Wall Dogs.
• Day Hurts Dark-Adjusted Eyes: Played for laughs in "Holey Moley" where the easiest way to stop the mole people was to shine a light at them.
• Depraved Dwarf: The whole schtick of The Toddler. He's a dwarf who acts like a baby.
• Depraved Kids' Show Host: Mr. Wallabee from "Mr. Nice Guy", who was revealed to be the alter ego of Mr. Nice Guy, punishing innocent citizens for breaking any of his "golden rules".
• Day Hurts Dark-Adjusted Eyes: The Mole people in "Holey Moley" live underground and can't stand bright lights. Both times they were defeated with bright lights, or in Henry's home, just turning on the lights.
• Deducing the Secret Identity: Early in Season 1, Charlotte works out that Henry and Kid Danger are never in the same place at the same time; whenever Kid Danger is done saving the day, Henry suddenly appears, looking roughed up or tired, and not to mention, the mask does not completely obscure his face.
• Description Cut:
  • In The Game Shakers crossover "Danger Games", Kenzie from the Game Shakers comments that nothing weird happens at Swellview. Cut to the Man Cave where Schwoz is zapping Charlotte and Jasper with what seems to be a tickle ray while Ray and Henry are racing each other from the tubes to across the cave and back again.
  • In "Danger Things", the scientists are explaining they have never gone through the interdimensional portal as they hear scary screams from the other side. Meanwhile, the next scene shows the screams are shouts of fun by all those kids and teens who have been taken by the monster.
• Didn't Think This Through:
  • In "Too Much Game", Schwoz invents a sleeve with "bloop toop" that will allow Henry to always make a basket so he can win the match against Shawn Corbitt; however, both Henry and Schwoz don't realize until too late that just because Henry can always shoot a basket doesn't mean he can block his opponent's shots as well.
  • Lampshaded in "Opposite Universe" when the Opposite Ray and Schwoz attempted to eliminate Piper out of existence to get concert tickets from her. Henry comes up with a suggestion that the tickets might be in Piper's pockets, thus if they eliminate Piper, they will eliminate the tickets along with her; Opposite Ray then puts aside he should've thought of that.
• Disguised in Drag:
  • Schwoz tried to pass as Bianca in "Secret Beef" to Ray's Henry as they tried to convince the Maitre'D at Montego's Steakhouse to allow them in. He saw right past the dress and wig.

  • Henry crashed into Mount Swellview, but survived thanks to generating a forcefield granted by the Omega Weapon. However, he decides to kill off Kid Danger for real so he can transfer to Dystopia and be a superhero himself.
• Disney Villain Death:
  • Sooorta. Does a bottomless ball pit count as a very high place? Turns out that didn't kill The Toddler, and he came back in the Crossover.
  • Drex, Brought Down to Normal and no longer invulnerable, was knocked off the top of a blimp in flight during the climactic fight in the series finale, but was saved by Jasper's drone who took him to prison.
    • He's shown alive in Danger Force
• Dispense with the Pleasantries: In "Escape Room", Mr. Frittleman calls his mook to complain about the bomb having a timer when he didn't want one. However, this was inverted as his mook had him be more polite and ask how he was doing, up to and including having Frittleman talk to his dog on the phone.
• Disproportionate Retribution:
  • Piper delivers one to Jasper in the first part of the two parter "One Henry, Three Girls." After Jasper uses Piper's rare glass hat as a bowl for chili, destroying it in the microwave, Piper promises to be the lookout when Jasper uses the girls' room at the park (the boys' room was closed). Instead, she gets the police and tells them Jasper scared her in the bathroom and that he may have a knife. He was ultimately arrested.
  • In Universe in "Toon in for Danger", the original cartoon they watched had Captain Man summoning frogs that eat the kids down to their bones who were bullying Kid Danger.
• Disposable Superhero Maker: The accident that gave Ray Manchester his powers cannot be replicated, as the variables surrounding Ray's specific physiology at the age he was were the x-factor that made it happen. Everyone else just gets Body Horror.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "Hour of Power", the entire discussion between Henry and Captain man about his former sidekick was made to sound like a former girlfriend.
  • The entire episode of "Rumblr" which has Ray depressed about fighting the same villains and being set up on an app to find a new villain to fight is made to sound like someone trying to enter a new relationship by using a dating app.
• The Dog Was the Mastermind: In "Swellview's Got Talent", Steven Sharp is responsible for all the acts fainting mid-performance, because they pet his ferret which is a dangerous species that secrete powerful oils when coming into contact, causing reactions such as "tongue-biting, head vibrations, and loss of consciousness".

Piper warns him not to touch it, but he does, trapping everyone where they are.
• Dramatic Drop: At the very end of "One Henry, Three Girls - Part 1" when Henry's old girlfriend Chloe enters the house instead of Bianca, he is so shocked by her sudden appearance that he drops Piper's replacement glass hat, which shatters on the ground.
• Dramatic Pause: Lampshaded in "Henry and the Woodpeckers". Henry is trying to give the team a pep talk during the championship game while the kids are complaining the game is no longer fair. Henry starts out by saying, "You're right. We could just give up and go home..." with the kids actually getting up to leave. he quickly corrals them.
  Wait, wait. I was just taking a dramatic pause.
• Dream Land: In "Dream Busters" Henry is stuck in a dream state and Charlotte has to get him out of it. Henry's dreams are crazy, but Henry doesn't realize he is in a dream, just that he is having the strangest day.

This causes her sleepless nights as she becomes obsessed by it not wanting it to happen. When she finally falls into the lion pit at the zoo, she initially refuses Kid Danger's help while not telling him why. Finally, he convinces her that he is not going to kiss her.
• Drop-In Character: For the most part, Charlotte and Jasper don't need to knock and are just welcomed in.
• Drowning My Sorrows: Henry drinks out of a bottle of chocolate syrup after he gets fired from being Kid Danger. When Charlotte takes it away, he pulls out another one.
• Dumbass Has a Point: Jasper blowing up the box on Captain Man's hands was a little extreme, but his hard to argue with his justification that Captain Man is Nigh-Invulnerable.
• Elaborate Underground Base: Based on how long the elevator ride (see below) takes, the Man cave seems to be very far underground, yet is very technologically advanced complete with living quarters for more than one person.
• Elevator Failure: Or so Charlotte and Henry believe. The elevator to the Man Cave goes down at a very rapid rate. Captain Man is fine with it, and Henry, Charlotte and Jasper are usually screaming and crawling out of the elevator, out of breath. However, as of season 3, Henry and Charlotte get used to the elevator and don't scream anymore, with Jasper getting used to it in season 5.
  • In the episode "Elevator Kiss" Henry, as Kid Danger, saves Bianca, his current girlfriend, from an elevator that is about to fall 79 floors. It actually does fall, leaving them dangling by Kid Danger's safety line in the shaft.
• Embarrassing Middle Name: Henry's middle name is Prudence.
• Enter Stage Window: Henry, Charlotte, and even Captain Man occasionally enter his room through his second story window by climbing up a tree.
• Evil Costume Switch:
  • Henry gets this after he joins the Wall Dogs in "Henry and the Bad Girl Part 2." Though it is just his Kid Danger outfit spray painted with darker colors.
  • Charlotte gets one in "The Beat Goes On" when she's Brainwashed and Crazy.
• Evolving Credits:
  • The theme song's visuals change with each new season.
  • As an interesting case, Riele Downs and Sean Ryan Fox's credits are switched around every other episode.
• Exact Words: The Grand Finale has Jasper sleep-learn with an audiobook that teaches one how to fight while they sleep (and also Spanish). It later turns out the audiobook was literally for that reason — it causes Jasper to fight while he sleeps.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Happens in-universe in the episode "Super Volcano". Jasper asks Henry what the TV show "Kids in the Woods" is about and Henry dryly replies "It's about kids in the woods." We never do get to see what the show even is, but it's implied to be some sort of cross between Big Brother and Survivor but with kids as the contestants.
• Expendable Alternate Universe:
  • Averted in "Opposite Universe" where Henry cares about the alternate versions of his family and even fights the evil version of Captain Man to save Alternative Piper.
  • Downplayed and played for laughs in the episode "Theranos Boot". After destroying a movie prop that Ray had recently bought that came from a major film series, the gang decide to go to an alternate universe to steal it from that Ray.
• Extremely Short Timespan: Numerous episodes take place over the course of a few hours.
• Eye Scream: In "Indestructible Henry, Part 2", Henry's Vomiting Vinnie doll barfs fake vomit all over Piper's eyes, which in turn prevents her from seeing the side effect of Henry's indestructability.

She goes into one of the tubes, but doesn't know how to make it work. The gang then troll her before she threatens once more to release their identity.
• Fake Defector: Henry does this in "Henry and the Bad Girl" by pretending to have turned against Captain Man and using Veronika's feelings for him to join the Wall Dogs in order to find their hideout and leader. Though Henry's feelings for Veronika turn out to be genuine.
• Faking the Dead:
  • It was revealed in "Grave Danger" that Invisible Brad faked his death from a bus accident to trick everyone into thinking he died so he can secretly sneak into Ray's life and take over as Captain Man.

  • Captain Man imagined surviving the titular "Super Volcano" in that episode that would destroy most life on Earth.
• Flashback Within a Flashback: Happens in the first part of "Indestructible Henry". The father, seeing Piper cooking supper, recounts the last time they allowed her to cook, flashing back to two years earlier to their anniversary dinner. In the flashback, the father recounts the last time they allowed her to make Henry's birthday cake for his tenth birthday.
• Foreshadowing:
  • In a few late Season 3 episodes and early Season 4 episodes, Henry mentions his super fast reflexes as "Hyper-Motility", which sounds like a disease which people are led to believe, which comes into full effect by "The Rock Box Dump".
  • In "Rumblr", Captain Man states his ideal fight would be he and his foe fighting on top of a blimp, he wins and jumps off just as it is about to explode. This is almost exactly how Captain Man and Kid Danger's final fight with Drex happens in the Grand Finale
• For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: Played with in "Jasper Danger" where Jasper tried to convince a girl he liked that he was Kid Danger, but would still be Kid Danger for Halloween. Of course, things don't go well when he tries to stop an actual criminal at his friend's insistence.
• For Science!: Played for laughs in "Scream Machine". Charlotte uses an electrified pole to shock Jasper in order to show how her new invention turns sound into electricity. Jasper asks her why she did that and she uses this trope, "For Science!"

• Freeze-Frame Bonus:
  • In "Captain Jerk", during the video of Captain Man smashing the little kids' lemonade stand, the red jabber spider can be seen crawling across the table just before he starts to destroy it.
  • In "Text, Lies & Video", if you look carefully at the phone Charlotte is using to take the video of Ray and Henry transforming at the beginning, it shows Charlotte is taking a video of herself.
  • Combined with Shown Their Work in "Ox Pox" when Schwoz enters the coordinates sending Ray to Prudhoe Bay in the 1700s. The coordinates 70.3256 N and 148.7714 W are, actually in Prudhoe Bay.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: With the way they tend to treat him, why do Henry and Charlotte even hang out with Jasper?
  • Same with Schwoz and Gooch.
  • In "J.A.M Session", Piper was this to her friends, as they disinvited her from their ski trip. They told her they liked her, but not when she got angry. Afterwards, she went to Junior Anger Management class (hence the episode title).
• Friend or Foe?: In the Crossover with The Thundermans, Cap and Kid capture three villains, put on their costumes, but Phoebe attacks them mistaking them for the real villains.
  • Freudian Excuse: In "Brawl in the Hall", Charlotte gets out of a fight with bully Bysche Bilsky by getting her to reveal why Bysche became a bully—it was because she got her front tooth knocked out years earlier and her cousin/best friend made fun of her.

  • Charlotte has occasionally upbraided Ray by calling him by his first and last name, Ray Manchester.
• Fun with Acronyms:
  • Zigzagged in "Time Jerker". Charlotte tries to get into a special exclusive program called "Language, Information, and Math Program". Henry calls it LIMP, but Charlotte is adamant that it isn't called LIMP. At the end when she gets in, Henry corrects Schwoz that it isn't called LIMP, but Charlotte corrects him that they do call it LIMP.
  • From "Henry and the Woodpeckers" comes Swellview's Tween Athletic Board, or STAB.
  • "JAM Session" has Piper attend a class called JAM (Junior Anger Management).
• Gender Bender: Henry briefly turns into a girl in "Henry the Man-Beast."
• Gender-Equal Ensemble: For the young main cast, there was Henry, Jasper, Charlotte and Piper. For a while Henry and Charlotte were the only ones to know Henry's secret, keeping with the gender balance.
• Genre Throwback: Seems to be one to the campy era of superheroes, with over-the-top themed villains and general camp factor.
• Gigantic Gulp: In "Mo' Danger Mo' Problems" Henry has a comically large mug of coffee.
• Gilligan Cut: In "Captain Jerk", Captain Man is adamant about not putting out a video apologizing as he doesn't care about what others think about him. Cut to him doing a video where he is apologizing and sincerely telling everyone that he cares what they think about him.
• Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: No pointing is one of Mr. Wallabee's (aka the Mr. Nice Guy's) rules in his self-named episode.

• The Glomp: A minor version happens at the end of "Tears of the Jolly Beetle" when the team are relieved to find out that Captain Man has regained his invincibility. Charlotte and Henry jump up to hug him.
  • Happens again at the end of "Too Much Game" when Schwoz jumps at Ray to give him an ebullient hug after Ray tells Schwoz he can move back to the Man Cave. Ray angrily tells him never to do that again.
• Gone Horribly Right In "Scream Machine", because Schwoz broke Charlotte's previous machine, he fixes up his transporter machine for Charlotte to use at the science fair. It works perfectly, but Charlotte mentions that the massive publicity, including the government talking to her about the invention, will likely lead them to uncovering the Man Cave and discovering the identities of Captain Man and Kid Danger.
• Good Cop/Bad Cop: In "Mr. Nice Guy", Kid Danger and Captain Man assume these two personas when interrogating a man they thought was the titular bad guy. However, Captain Man was going a bit too far, necessitating Kid Danger to tell him it isn't good cop sadistic cop.
• Goofy Print Underwear: In "A Fiñata Full Of Death Bugs", Jasper reveals to Ray and Henry that he wears Captain Man-derpants, much to the mortification of Henry and embarrassment of Ray.

  You maniacs! You blew it up! Dang You! Gosh dang you all as well!
• Grammar Nazi: Exaggerated in "Mr. Nice Guy" after Charlotte and Jasper have a disagreement over who/whom. Schwoz declares a grammar fight three times, the first two which are stopped. However, everyone agrees to participate in the final one (with weapons), but it is not seen due to a freeze frame.
• Grand Finale: the final four episodes were a single continuous story. However, the ends of the previous six episodes (not counting the Clip Show ) led up to the finale.
• Green-Skinned Space Babe: Henry dreamed of a green-skinned woman in the episode "Dream Busters". All she did was dance around. Possibly a Shout-Out to the Orion slave girls in Star Trek.
• Grievous Harm with a Body: Played for laughs in "Double Date Danger" when Captain Man throws Kid Danger through a locked door to get to the bad guys who were holding hostages. Henry was not amused, but was unhurt.
• Groin Attack: Happens quite a lot for a kids show. Captain Man is subject to a few, but always recovers immediately due to his invincibility. Young Henry, however, gets nailed in the nuts multiple times as well, and he is not invulnerable. A notable example is when Henry was being mind controlled by a villain, and gives Ray a frontal wedgie. Ray feels the pain briefly, but then helps Henry regain consciousness, and THEN the full grown adult man gives his teenage sidekick an even more painful testicle strangling front wedgie out of spite!
• The Guards Must Be Crazy: In "Danger Games", the guys who are helping Dr. Minyak guard Captain Man are oblivious to Kid Danger, who is standing right behind them and pointing a laser at the side of both of their heads.
  • Also from that episode, Dr. Minyak happens to find his way on stage during Double G's concert despite recently having tried to seriously hurt Double G and putting Double G's bodyguards Bunny and Ruthless in the hospital.
• Halloween Episode: Season 1's "Jasper Danger" and season 4's "Danger Things".
• Hammerspace: In "Henry and the Bad Girl" Schwoz tells of getting back at his ex girlfriend who beat him up by stealing her prosthetic leg, which he pulls from his back pocket. Lampshaded by Henry who tells Schwoz that he had deep pockets.
• Happy Birthday to You!:
  • Due to the song still in copyright when the series premiered, Henry came up with his own birthday song in the first episode during Jasper's birthday at the end:
    Happy, happy, happy, happy, birthday
    Happy, happy, happy, happy, birthday
    Everybody wants to wish you a happy birthday!
  • The song itself was sung repeatedly in "Henry's Birthday", when the song was no longer copyrighted.
  • The actual song was sung to Charlotte at the beginning of "Car Trek".
• Hard-Work Montage: Lampshaded in "Toon in for Danger" when the work to write a script for the "Adventures of Kid Danger" cartoon is accompanied by a song called "Hot for Montage", a song from a record being played by Schwoz to keep them awake.
• Harmless Freezing: Drex was rendered invulerable just like Captain Man as Drex managed to get himself frozen in ice and survived there for 100 million years with no problems when he was unfrozen (not even aging was a problem) as seen in "The Beginning of the End"
  • Captain Man, in "Captain Drex", is sent back 101 million years and in the next episode, Henry helps to free him from the amber Captain Man "froze" himself into. Again, aging was not a problem.
• Harmless Villain: Jeff, who is a petty criminal that is so dumb that Captain Man is annoyed by him.
• Hated by All: Drex, who first appears in “Hour of Power” is hated by everyone. Even the news anchors at the end do not hold back at their hatred of him.
• Hate Sink: Paula Makiato from "Spoiler Alert" is the former leader of the Man Fans who refused to let Piper be member, even after she did her end of the deal. Piper had to eat hair soup once, but Paula denied her proposal and enjoyed seeing Piper suffer, thankfully she's never seen again after this.
• Here We Go Again!: In the ending of "Birthday Girl Down", Henry is proven innocent, and Debbie's birthday goes as planned; however, when Debbie goes to jump on the trampoline by the edge of the roof and Henry goes to retrieve a balloon that got stuck near a light, Oliver tells him to jump down and he obliges, and he bounces at the same time as Debbie, causing her to fly off the roof for real. Not wanting to face more punishment, Henry quietly backs away.
• Hero Insurance: Averted. Captain Man and Henry stop a criminal from robbing an antique bottle store. However, their fight with the robber destroys nearly every glass bottle in the store. The owner is upset about this and makes them clean up the whole store. They're at least lucky not to end up in jail.
• Hero with Bad Publicity:
  • In "Captain Jerk", Captain Man got into trouble after he destroyed a lemonade stand set up by two little girls (he saw a deadly spider). He spent the rest of the episode trying to recover his image since no one knew the real reason.
  • In the finale, Henry stays aboard the top of the blimp that is crashing so he can try to steer it away from populated areas. He is saved by his new superpower, a personal shield.
• Hidden Depths: Piper spent her summers doing summer school which gave her enough credits to graduate alongside Charlotte and Jasper
• Hoist by His Own Petard:
  • Said word for word by the Toddler when he goes down his own bottomless ball pit. He's then blown up by his own bomb.
  • At the end of "Balloons of Doom", Dr. Minyak tied up Piper in a chair, threatening to send her skyward with his hemium gun. In the end, he was knocked into the chair and Kid Danger shooting the hemium gun at Dr Minyak. Lampshaded with Dr. Minyak telling him not to do so as it was too on the nose.

• It Amused Me: It turns out, Schwoz's memory eraser has a setting that lets him erase only the memory of people realizing Ray is Captain Man and Henry is Kid Danger.

  • Charlotte does this in "Brawl in the Hall" when she has to fight the trainers Ray hired to help her learn how to fight.
• Playing Sick: Ray assumed Henry was pulling this on him in "Sick and Wired".
• Police Are Useless:
  • In "Double Date Danger", the police leave a message for Captain Man that they are leaving a teenager with no teeth in an alley for them to deal with since the officers have tickets to a musical. Captain Man's reaction shows this is not the first time the police have left a case fir him like this.
  • In "Hour of Power", the police are called to the park, but when they see escaped prisoner Drex is there, they turn tail.
• Possession Presumes Guilt:
  • In "I Know Your Secret", Piper is mistakenly delivered a spray-tan gun and uses it to open an illegal tanning salon in the Hart household. When she leaves to go to the bathroom, she has Jake hold the gun in her place; the police then walk in, and upon seeing Jake in possession of the gun, they arrest him instead of Piper.
  • This is why Jasper is arrested in Mouth Candy. The special expensive candy boot was taken from its protective box by Mitch, but as soon as the alarm goes off, he gives it to Jasper. The shop owner immediately believes Jasper is guilty because, as Mitch and the police said, "he who holds it stolds it."
• Potty Emergency: Charlotte in the beginning of "Henry's Frittle Problem" has to go to the bathroom, but is stopped at each attempt. Eventually, Piper beats her to the bathroom, to which Charlotte finally replies to Henry about where she is going.
  In your backyard to water your bushes.
• Primary-Color Champion: Both Captain Man and Kid Danger's costumes reflect this trope.
• Primp of Contempt: Captain Man switches bodies with Frankine in one episode, and when Henry tries to get Frankine (in Captain Man’s body) to jump out a helicopter to save a kidnapped grandmother, Frankine says no. Henry tries to convince Frankine, but he simply checks his nails and replies “She’s not my grandma.”
• Product Placement: Characters like Henry and Piper are seen wearing Vans Sk-8 Hi sneakers.
  • For Henry: every episode.
  • For Piper: She wears light pink Vans Sk-8 Hi sneakers in One Henry, Three Girls, Henry and the Woodpeckers, Captain Man on Vacation and Twin Henrys. She would later be seen wearing dark pink Vans Sk-8 Hi's in Opposite Universe, Ox Pox, Danger and Thunder, Dodging Danger, JAM session and License to Fly.
• Prolonged Prologue: The season 3 premiere was the first example of this, using one that lasted over eight minutes. Since Season 4, this is now commonly used.
• Publicly Discussing the Secret:
  • In "Sick and Wired", at the diner with others about six feet away from them, Henry and Jasper used the names Captain Man and Ray interchangeably as well as Henry stating (knowing Ray was listening in) that he was working on getting rid of Captain Man and he would make Jasper his sidekick.
  • In "I Dream of Danger", Charlotte was talking to Kid Danger about dreaming about him while in the Man Cave while one of the zoo employees was listening in. Thankfully, nothing came of this.
• Pungeon Master: The Time Jerker in his self-titled episode constantly makes time related jokes which both impress and infuriate Captain Man and Kid Danger as they can't come up with puns as good as his.
• Punny Name:
  • Local mean teacher Miss Shapen (misshapen).
  • Wall Dogs leader Van Del (vandal)
• Pushover Parents: Jake and Siren Hart often let Piper do whatever she wants (even in public!) due to being intimidated by her.
• Put on a Bus:
  • Bianca leaves the show following "Danger & Thunder" due to getting cast on Kids in the Woods with Henry's old girlfriend Chloe.
  • The android Gerta ends up leaving Schwoz at the end of "Twin Henry's" and never came back after that.
• Relationship Upgrade: Averted with Henry and Charlotte.
• Real Men Eat Meat: A side effect of the machine that made Henry manlier in "Henry the Man-Beast" made him want to eat rare meat.
  • In "Captain Man: On Vacation", as a thank you for helping Captain Man bring out his very heavy chest, Ray gives Bork raw meat. Bork happily eats it.
• Red Herring: The Season 2 finale "I Know Your Secret" has Henry encounter Jasper who found out a secret of his. It was initially led to believe he found out he's Kid Danger, but Charlotte learns from Piper the real secret was Jasper found out Henry didn't see Galaxy Wars X with him.
• Required Secondary Powers: In “Too Much Game”, Henry gets a device that makes him a better basketball player by allowing him to make every basket he shoots. That’s all well and good, but it doesn’t stop his opponent from blocking the shot, as he learns during the big game.
• Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: In the "Back to the Danger" two parter, Drex goes back in time to prevent young Ray from becoming densitized. Yet, somehow Charlotte, Jasper, and Schwoz in the present still retain the memories of Captain Man as well as still being in the Man Cave. Even after grown up Ray is affected by his younger self not being densitized, he still remembers it as does Henry, who also went into the past.
• Robot Girl: Gerta is a shape-shifting android, though her beauty is subjective. Schwoz likes her.
• Rogues Gallery: Captain Man's rivals have teamed up against him several times.
• Running Gag:
  • A literal gag, given its added Squick — the show loves reminding us how Piper finds Kid Danger (her brother) hot.
  • In "Henry and the Woodpeckers", one of the boys on Piper's team was constantly seen eating a taco salad, which Henry would inevitably sit on.
  • Schwoz had to put off or reschedule his colonoscopy due to issues at work a number of times.
  • Henry explaining to someone that Piper has a driver's license even though she's underage to have one because the DMV sent her one by mistake. Her reply is she doesn't care and it's valid.
  • Piper trying to watch the Fred Lobster commercial she starred in in "Space Invaders", but right when she is about to say her line it gets preempted by a news broadcast or someone accidentally flips channels.
  • There's a hilarious running gag in the fifth season where a character would say something, someone else would ask, 'Hm?' and the character would repeat what they originally said in the exact same tone. The gag occurred so often that it got its own segment in the Clip Show episode. A prime example of this is in "The Whole Bilsky Family":
    Ray: What's with all the blending?
    Henry: Oh, we're on a liquid clense.
    Ray: Hm?
    Henry: We're on a liquid clense.
    Ray: That's stupid!
    Henry: Hm?
    Ray: That's stupid!
  • IN "Henry Danger: The Musical", a number of times Jasper starts a song about something that is tangentially related to the issues at hand, only to have the others have him stop as there are more important things to deal with.
• Rule of Funny: It's a Dan Schneider show, so you are going to expect TONS of this.
• Rule of Three: Discussed in "Cave the Date" where Henry tells Charlotte that people generally remember things if they've been told it three times, so she reminds the gang that she told them three times already that she was dating a famous person.

Tropes S-Z

• Sadistic Choice:
  • In "Love Muffin" after Gwen's treachery as a villainess was exposed, she forces Henry and Ray to release her with all knowledge of their true identities, otherwise she will send a text message and expose them.
  • In "Balloon of Doom" after the Man Fans are held hostage by Dr. Minyak, Captain Man and Kid Danger are forced to stay in their seat where Minyak can see them over VideoChat while his other minions commit crimes all over Swellview. If they leave his view at any time (or call the cops on him), he will use his Heliometer to make Piper fly to her doom.
• Scary Black Man: Ray uses Bork this way in "Green Fingers" to keep Henry's family quarantined in their house. It works on Piper, the only one who tries to escape especially considering Bork is a muscular 6'5" man who was wearing a gas mask to keep from getting sick. However, he is friendly at work.
• Schmuck Bait: In "Hour of Power", Captain Man saw a box that promised his favorite sweet. Kid Danger warned him that it may be just this trope, but Captain took hold of the Idiot Ball and reached in, trapping his hands and making him unable to fight.
• Science Fair: The "Gizmo Show" was a non-school form of this in "Scream Machine".
• Scooby-Dooby Doors: A small version happens in "Visible Brad". When trying to enter the magician's room without permission, Captain Man goes in one door and immediately comes out a differnt door in the same room. He then tries to go in the door he keeps coming back from and ends up in a sarcophagus standing up on the opposide wall. Of course, this was an instance of a magician did it.
• Screams Like a Little Girl: One of the side effects of Captain's Man H.R.Z. It disconcerts a few people.
• Screw Learning, I Have Phlebotinum!: Captain Man's H.R.Z. can upload knowledge to a person's brain. It does have some side effects like mixing up words in sentences and the user involuntarily Screaming Like A Little Girl that last for a few days.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here:
  • In "The Space Rock," Charlotte is the first person to escape the area when the "space bug" is around.
  • In the c-plot for "Jasper's Real Girlfriend", the Hart's next-door neighbor tells Piper their wi-fi password is her first name; Piper reveals she ironically doesn't know her name, and the neighbor angrily leaves in an instant without telling her.

• Secret-Keeper: Averted; Henry has to keep his job as a sidekick a secret from his friends and family.
  • Charlotte becomes one after "The Secret Gets Out", and is accepted by Captain Man after she proves her worth.
  • Jasper becomes one in "I Know Your Secret".
  • The Game Shakers Babe, Kenzie, Trip, and Hudson in the Crossover episode "Danger Games".
  • Gwen in "Love Muffin" becomes a villainous one for Ray and Henry (as well as knowing Charlotte and Jasper work for Captain Man as well).
  • Apparently, all superheroes know of each other's alter egos. In "Danger and Thunder", Captain Man knew who Phoebe was as well as her father.
  • Piper Hart in end of "Sister Twister: Part 1" after she stumbles onto the Man-Cave and seeing Henry & Ray transforms in front of her.
• Secret Test of Character:
  • Henry delivers one to Bianca, his girlfriend in "Elevator Kiss". After she kissed Kid Danger, making Henry jealous, he chose to put her in another situation where he would save her and see if she kissed Kid Danger again. He never could tell her that she was even tested.
  • In the pilot episode, an old woman enters the Man Cave while Henry is being interviewed by Ray. Henry recognizes a tattoo on her neck that he saw on a man upstairs and attacked the intruder, successfully knocking him into the elevator. Captain Man then told Henry that the man worked for him and it was a test to see how good of a sidekick he would be.
• See the Invisible: In "Invisible Brad", Henry, Charlotte and Ray come up with a plan to spill paint all over Brad so they can see him and, for Henry, beat him up. However, it was ultimately averted when Brad was supposedly hit by a bus and killed.
• Seinfeldian Conversation: In "Twin Henrys", Henry and Ray have a debate over whether Ray's new cups were cobalt or royal blue, including even whether cobalt was a shade of blue. They were so distracted they missed the MMA fight they were supposed to be watching.
• Self-Serving Memory: Played for laughs in "A New Darkness" when Henry recounts what happened with the confrontation with villain Rick Twittler "A New Evil". He made himself look better and Rick look stupid. The characters in the flashback even got annoyed whenever someone interrupted Henry's retelling of the events.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Discussed and strangely implemented in the "Time Jerker" episode. Henry goes through a bad day where he is constantly being hurt or pranked. After a battle with the titular bad guy, Henry goes back to the morning and has to relive the same day over again. This time, he avoids all of the injuries and pranks, but messes up Jasper's model and keeps Charlotte from joining a special academic group. Ultimately, he realizes he has to go back and relive the day over again, suffering all of his ills so that his friends' accomplishments are restored.
• Sequel Hook: The final scene of the series has the newly powered Danger Force kids welcomed into the Swellview Academy for the Gifted to set up the spinoff.
• Shipper on Deck: Many fans of the show believe that "Chenry" (Henry and Charlotte's ship name) will get together sometime during the series.
• "Shaggy Dog" Story:
  • In "Text, Lies, and Video", Charlotte films Ray and Henry transforming into Captain Man and Kid Danger on her phone and the video accidentally gets sent to Piper. Henry does everything to delete the video off Piper's phone before she sees it, including having Jasper try to steal the phone (which he fails to do), destroying her phone, and trying to steal Piper's new phone after she uploads all her back-up data. After the video is finally deleted off her phone, Henry, Ray, and Charlotte decide to watch the video, only to discover that Charlotte had filmed herself instead of Henry and Ray. Charlotte even lampshades that the whole thing was a waste of time.
  • Played with in "Escape Room" Charlotte realizes Henry and Ray are in danger and she, Jasper, and Schwoz gear up to go help them, but they end up getting derailed or distracted by other things. When it's all done, they leave the Man Cave just as Henry and Ray come back, the danger already taken care of.
• Shoo Out the Clowns:
  • In "Love Bytes", Jasper and Charlotte bail on Henry and Charlotte and head for home just before facing Hallie in the climax and Schwoz is nearly manipulated into killing them.
  • Henry's parents are completely absent throughout the majority of "The Fate of Danger - Part 2", with Piper restricted to two voice-only cameos, to build up to the final battle against Drex and Kid Danger's Heroic Sacrifice. None of them physically appear until Kid Danger's funeral scene in the ending.
• Shooting Superman: Discussed. The Toddler says he's going to destroy Captain Man, but is instantly reminded of Captain Man's Nigh-Invulnerable status.
• Shout-Out:

    • "Opposite Universe" is like the Star Trek: Original Series episode "Mirror Mirror".

    • Also from "Danger Things", Henry and his friends dress as The Ghostbusters (1984).
  • "Double-O Danger" has a number of shout outs to James Bond, from the blood falling down the screen in the sniper shot openings to "shaken, not stirred", not to mention the title itself.

  • The episode "Theranos Boot" had the titular movie prop somewhat based on the Infinity Gauntlet of Thanos. In addition, the movie they mentioned, "Eternity War", was basically an Expy of Avengers: Infinity War.
  • In "Jasper's Real Girlfriend", in order to beat Ray in ping pong, Henry has Schwoz's family member named Larry to eat spaghetti with a dog, replicated from Lady and the Tramp.
  • Ray doesn't know Charlotte's last name, so he guesses Sweb, as in Charlotte's Web.
  • In "Henry Danger: The Musical", Ray reveals he hates musicals ever since losing his audition to star in Cats, or at least a musical about cats.

  Charlotte: "Yeah, you don't wanna be saying that."

• Slow "NO!":
  • A lampshaded version in the beginning of the first part of "Indestructible Henry". While the entire scene in slow motion was done with a combination of comedy and drama (Henry retrieving his phone from a shop with a bomb inside), the Slow "NO!" was done after Henry had survived and was outside, only to see his phone screen crack.
  • In Love Muffin", under the influence of a Love Potion that was accidentally triggered by Jasper, Henry watches as Piper angrily attacks Jasper, leading Henry to do this trope.
  • In "Danger Games", Henry does this when he watches as Hudson blows a bubble with his special gum, changing into his Kid Danger uniform.
  • The slow-mo sequence from "EnvyGram Wall" starts with Charlotte yelling, "PIPER, NOOOOOO!" as she is running to the wall to get a picture of her in front of it. Kid Danger also has two Slow Nos when he sees Piper running for the wall, and when he sees Captain Man about to kill the bird with Piper right next to it.
• Small Role, Big Impact: In "Love Muffin", Piper's only scene where she wrestled Jasper for messing with her curling iron is what breaks Gwen's love spell on Henry, as making him feel anger drove out his feelings of love for Jasper and he realizes they should do the same to Ray so he falls out of love with Gwen.

  • Henry is trapped in a small area surrounded by a force field in "Toddler Invasion".
• Speak in Unison: In "Theranos Boot", after the cat universe versions of the main characters came through and were thinking about how to get another boot, each character and their cat universe double spoke in unison what they were thinking. The Henrys even went further saying random words in unison just to prove they were so much alike.
• Spelling Bee: What sets up the plot of "Spelling Bee Hard", and Captain Man is challenged by Dr. Minyak to compete in it. Charlotte is also competing as well to get her fourth straight win, as well as become the first Swellviewian ever to win four years straight.

  • From "Caved In," complete with Aside Glance and everything: Never start a campfire indoors...without adult supervision.
  • In "Love Muffin", Schwoz explains that what they learned is that anger is always stronger than love.
• Stock Sound Effect: In "Indestructible Henry - Part 1", the noise the C-5 disruptor makes when it is about to explode is recycled from the iCarly episode "iBattle Chip" when Gibby's phaser is about to explode.

  • Lost this superpower in "A New Hero" after a Heroic Sacrifice
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Unlike most sitcoms, Henry doesn't end up graduating high school due to missing so many days from being Kid Danger.
• Take a Third Option: In "Balloon of Doom", Piper is held hostage by Dr. Minyak and has crimes being committed all over Swellview; Captain Man and Kid Danger have to stay in the sight of his web cam at all times, and if either one of them leaves his view or calls the cops on him, he will use his Heli-omiter to make Piper fly into the sun. Schwoz helps them get around the restriction by strapping the duo up to a Man Cave backdrop to fool Dr. Minyak so they can sneak into the house and free Piper.
• Take That!: At the end of Hour Of Power, Drex is alive but unable to do anything (don't worry it's temporary), and Schwoz compares it to the Kardashians
• Taking the Bullet: In "A New Hero", Captain Man jumped in front of Henry when the computer virus infected enemy tried to infect Henry by spitting at him. However, Captain Man already knew it wouldn't harm him.
  • A non-fatal version happens in "The Great Cactus Con" where Jasper stands in front of his date, who had to wear a special suit because she had to breathe filtered air, as people were throwing cacti at Captain Man and Kid Danger, who were protecting a special cactus. He was covered in cacti at the end of the fight, but was successful.
• Taking You with Me: In the pilot "The Danger Begins", The Toddler threatens to do this, arming a bomb and locking the doors. Of course, Captain Man would not have died as he was indestructible.

• There Is No Kill Like Overkill: In "Text, Lies, and Video", Charlotte has a flashback of when Ray tried to kill a fly by shooting a blaster at it, punching a good sized hole in the elevator doors. Ultimately it was averted as he missed the fly.
• Those Two Guys: Sydney and Oliver, originally the only two that came to Jasper's birthday party aside from Charlotte. They are shown to be even more awkward than Jasper, sometimes roping him into their shenanigans and sometimes weirding even him out. Strangely, in "Substitute Teacher," Oliver is by himself and Sydney is absent.
• Throw It In!: At the end of "Dodging Danger" with Jasper, Henry, and Piper celebrating winning the trampoline dodgeball tournament, Jasper and Henry and bouncing while holding Piper.

However, nothing is stopping his opponents from using the time machine, meaning Henry can go back to the morning of the day he fights the Time Jerker and take advantage of an instance where he monologues to knock him out.
• Title Drop: A crossover version happens in "Knight and Danger" where Ryker complains that a squad of knights defeated him.
• Toilet Humour: In "Scream Machine", Charlotte is talking about always coming in second place in the science fair. This year, she explained, was the year that she was "going to go number 1" Cue the immature laughter by Henry, Jasper, Ray, and Schwoz.
• Trailers Always Spoil:
  • The Toddler was shown a lot in the promos for "Danger and Thunder" but the scene where he makes his appearance in the episode was shown to make it a surprise.
  • In the preview for "Sister Twister part 1", it was explained that Piper found out her brother and his boss are Kid Danger and Captain Man despite this being the surpise ending.
• Training Montage: Lampshaded with a touch of Fourth Wall Leaning in "Brawl in the Hall" as Ray is trying to teach Charlotte how to fight. After teaching her the basics, she fails to make a dent in any of the men he hired for her to practice on. He then told Charlotte she can't expect to learn anything in one five minute training montage.
• Trapped in Another World: In the Knight Squad crossover, Ryker, the evil knight from their dimension, ultimately stays in the Henry Danger world.

• Two Guys and a Girl: Both are non romantic examples, but it happens multiple times throughout the show as:
  • Charlotte, Henry, and Jasper.
  • Henry, Ray, and Charlotte.
• Two-Person Love Triangle: A major part of the plot in "Elevator Kiss" has Henry saving Bianca from a malfunctioning elevator. While hanging from his safety line in the shaft, Bianca kisses him, which, as Charlotte points out, technically qualifies as cheating since she doesn't know Henry is Kid Danger. The rest of the episode has Henry jealous about Bianca but can't tell her why as she never told anyone she kissed Kid Danger. Ultimately subverted when Kid Danger sets up another chance to save her but she rejects him explaining she has a boyfriend and the kiss was a mistake.
• Two-Teacher School: Ms. Shapen was the only teacher ever shown. She started as their Junior High History teacher but stayed their teacher into high school while never changing schools.
• Two-Timer Date: Henry is put into this situation when he has to go to the ball with Bianca as himself and go to the ball with Cloe as Kid Danger. Ray gives him the idea to go first as Kid Danger and then pretend to be called away so he can spend the rest of the night as himself, but it doesn't work. Charlotte then gives him the idea to make up an excuse to leave for a bit so he can change into Henry to spend some time with Bianca, and leave again so he can spend time with Cloe as Kid Danger. When he asks if that would work, Charlotte responds no and lampshades that she's seen it fail on ever bad sitcom she's seen.
• Ungrateful Bastard: In the ending of "Love Bytes", despite Schwoz destroying Halley and saving everyone's lives, Ray still chooses to be furious with him for destroying the antique sword he used to stab Halley with. Henry was so disgusted by this behavior that he simply leaves him be.
