Totem Pole Trench: Subverted. Firing Squad had what appeared to be a toddler in a trench coat, but turned out to be an adult with a "horrible deformity". Lucy is clearly unnerved from finding out.

comment
Character Overlap: Tom from Eddsworld, which TomSka was showrunner for at the time, appears in "Orks & Dorks" as the giant monster Kate summons, and even turns back to normal (albeit crushed under a rock) after Lucy destroys the book and returns everything to normal. Another character from Eddsworld, Mark, also has a cameo in the comics.

comment
Becoming the Costume: In "Orcs & Dorks", which takes place during a mass LARP meet, Kate finds a Spell Book, and one of the first things she does is transform the players into the beings they're dressed as with real abilities. For example, Lucy is able to conjure a lightning bolt for real. This is reverted after the spell book is destroyed.

Chekhov's Gag
 Crash Zoom (Web Animation) / int_22cf50f9
comment
Chekhov's Gag: "Orks & Dorks" opens with Lucy facing off against a LARPer who says his armor is anti-[whatever Lucy's trying to attack him with], who accidentally suffocates himself after saying his helmet is air proof. After Kate sends everything into chaos, Lucy defends herself against the giant monster by saying that her armor is proofed against whatever it tries attacking her with, and because Kate made everything magic, it actually works.

Downer Ending: Usually Played for Laughs. In "Sky Scam", after jumping out of the crashing plane in a parachute, Lucy and Ben's parachute deactivates from not getting sufficient funds and they fall into the ocean right before their plane crashes onto them, but at least Kate is with them now. In "Out Of Time", after Lucy prevents Kate and Ben from pulling the time adjustment lever, Ben pulls the other nearby lever, and they're all turned into babies, causing Lucy to cry and Ben to say "Uh oooh..."

The pervert cops who get vaporized in "Movie Massacre" though they did returned in "Shell Shock" alive and well, the many zombie criminals in "Grave Mistake" (though they arguably pull a Heel–Face Turn), the extortionist flight attendant who gets the Turbine Blender treatment in "Sky Scam", etc.

Foreshadowing: Chaos throwing a grenade at the Spaze-lazer-ponies foreshadows how the gang defeats the alien invaders in the pilot episode. In the same episode, the old lady asking "Is this Earth?"; Lucy and the audience both initially assume it's just her being senile, but the ending reveals that she was actually the alien invaders' queen in disguise.

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: A running gag in the series is using the word "hug" as a substitute for the F-word. Ben's Establishing Character Moment is telling Lucy that he wants to make a movie "right hugging now" (which Lucy starts lampshading before he forcibly drags her out of the room) and in "Sky Scam", Lucy angrily screams "MOTHERHUGGER!" in response to learning that she and Ben have only purchased enough fuel to keep the plane flying for two more seconds.

Hate Sink: Jodie the Flight Attendant in "Sky Scam"; she's a passive-aggressive Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who keeps the plane that our heroes are on from crashing by extorting money from them (seemingly not caring if the plane crashes and kills countless people, and herself) and when they inevitably run out, her only reaction is cold indifference. As a result, it's hard to feel sorry for her when she falls out of the plane and gets shredded by the turbines.
