Dr. Havoc's Diary provides examples of:

Tropes A to D

• Advertising by Association: Is advertised as "from the guys who brought you The Most Popular Girls in School".
• Advertised Extra: Flula Borg (Havoc's Weapon Dealer), Chester See (Jaydyn), and Allie Marie Evans (Havoc's date) are featured in the trailer, but they all only appear in one particular episode each.
• Affectionate Parody: Mainly of the superhero/supervillain genre.
• Agony of the Feet:
  • The heels that Crystal Mynxx wears hurts her feet like hell; she is most relieved when she finally takes them off.
  • In Episode 15, while working in his lab, Havoc accidentally steps on Kim's shoe.
• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The robots in Episode 19 turn out like this thanks to being too intelligent. Thankfully, it doesn't last.
• All Girls Want Bad Boys: In Episode 25, when his first date blows him off for being too nice, Havoc must prove just how much of a bad boy he can be.
• Almost Kiss: Between Kim and Darren in the 1996 flashback of Episode 18, twice. The first time, they're interrupted by a ringing phone; the second time, they're cut off by Kim's shitty boss.
• And I Must Scream: Downplayed and Played for Laughs in Episode 25; Havoc injects a neurotoxin into two annoying idiots in the theater so that they'll stay paralyzed for eight hours, meaning that they'll watch the movie a total of four times stuck together.
• Antagonist Title
• Art Shift: On occasion, there can be a switch from Stop Motion to mere dolls being waved and thrown around the set.
• Attack! Attack... Retreat! Retreat!: In Episode 23, Brock eagerly tells his clone "son" to hop onto his back. His clone does... and promptly crushes Brock with his adult weight. Cue Brock yelling at his clone to get off him (they settle for Holding Hands instead).

  • Von Duct imitating Brock in Episode 23.

• Didn't Think This Through:
  • Brock's decision to fight on top of a train in Episode 9. Havoc repeatedly calls him out on it.
  • In Episode 17, Brock sneaks into Dr. Havoc's submarine by cutting a hole in a wall. Guess what eventually happens?

Tropes E to M

• Early-Installment Weirdness:
  • In the first episode, the Kim doll being used was the one really meant for the 1996 flashback.
  • Due to "Black Superhero" being made early in production, the ending shows Havoc writing in his diary inside of his lair rather than in his office.
• Ejection Seat: Dr. Havoc has this equipped in his car. He accidentally ejects his date out by pressing the wrong button in Episode 25.
  Dr. Havoc: Oh, fuuuuck.
• Enemy Mine: From Episode 17 onward, Brock and Havoc start bonding over the fact that Kim drives them both off the wall. Then, in Episodes 29 and 30, Havoc and Brock work together to try to stop Von Duct from taking over the world.
• Erotic Asphyxiation: What Nadia does to Brock in Episode 7. Havoc assumes that she's killing him, so he promptly leaves the two be. Dramatic Irony ensues.
• Everything Is Online: In Episode 9, Havoc lampshades how everybody only watches their favorite TV shows online nowadays, and there's therefore no use for a DVR anymore.
• Evil Is Petty: At the end of Episode 6, when Dr. Havoc joins up with his old villain buddies for a night out on the town, they leave some muggers (long story) with the bill.
• Expendable Clone: The Henchmen.

• Extreme Omnisexual: The Minions are always keen on fucking things. Even inanimate objects, and dead things. Even in the middle of a battle.
• "Fawlty Towers" Plot:
  • For about a half of Episode 5, after Ally accidentally intrudes on Havoc's meeting with his weapon dealer.
  • This happens for a bit in Episode 10 when Ally and Kim see Nighthook with Havoc. It starts out as lying about Nighthook being their waiter, and it goes downhill from there.
• Foreshadowing:
  • In Episode 3, we are introduced to Henchman clones with the minds of infants who see Von Duct as their father. In Episode 11, a Brock clone is created, and runs off before returning as a Chekhov's Gunman in Episode 23; the real Brock ends up meeting said clone (in which the latter has the mind of a two-year-old), sees him as his "son", and adopts him.
  • In Episode 2, Von Duct wishes out loud that henchmen would praise his assistance and inventions. Episode 28 onward reveals that he has pretty much the same motivations and level of self-loathing as Havoc.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: Episode 24, appropriately called "Freaky Friday". All thanks to one of Havoc's machines, this happens between Ally and Havoc, and then between various other characters as well. Oh, and Voices Are Not Mental.

• Heh Heh, You Said "X":
  • In Episode 8, the childish Henchmen laugh at the word "butthole".

  Fantasti-Girl: (to her mother on Havoc's phone) Mom, what's a rapist?
• Hope Spot: In Episode 28, Havoc is trapped in space and is calling for help via video feed. A Minion comes in, and Havoc tells him to go get help... only for said Minion to bring in a chair to start fucking with. Fortunately, seconds later, Kim enters.
• How We Got Here: Happens numerous times, always with Dr. Havoc writing in his diary about it. For example, Episode 10 opens with Kim and Ally storming out of the hotel room, leaving Havoc behind; the rest of the episode showcases what happened.

• Leg Cling: In Episode 14, a Minion does this to a soldier. And starts humping it.
• Let Me Get This Straight...:
  • In Episode 17:

  Brock: Oh, yeah, I stole her. Yeah, that’s right. That was my plan. "Oh, hey Kim, why don't you move into my sweet-ass apartment, and ruin my fucking life?!" Does that sound like something I would say?! Hm?! Does it, Havoc?! Is that how I talk?! DO I TALK LIKE THAT, HAVOC?!?
  • In Episode 26:
  Havoc: ...In order to get me to tell my daughter, that you may in fact, be her biological father, you are threatening to seduce said daughter, and possibly have sex with her, even though you may, in fact, be her father?!
