Codename: Kids Next Door (2002-2008) is an original animated series from Cartoon Network about a team of five elementary school-aged kids who are members of an international organization that fights adult tyranny. It was created by Tom Warburton (credited as Mr. Warburton).Those five kids are Sector V, a Five-Man Band in the worldwide organization known as the Kids Next Door: Numbuh One (Ben Diskin) is a Properly Paranoid Conspiracy Theorist who is always seen wearing sunglasses (and has no hair); Numbuh Two (Diskin) is a pilot and inventor known for cracking puns at inappropriate times; Numbuh Three (Lauren Tom) is The Heart of the team, constantly happy and serving as the team medic; Numbuh Four (Dee Bradley Baker) is a Book Dumb kid who holds an invaluable amount of street smarts and serves as a combat specialist and the team's enforcer; Numbuh Five (Cree Summer) is the only sane girl trying desperately to keep the team together.Together, the KND of Sector V fight alongside their compatriots-in-childhood against numerous villains — including The Delightful Children from Down the Lane (and their creepy father, Father), Numbuh Five's traitorous teenage sister, Cree, and the Corrupt Corporate Executive Mr. Boss — who hates children and wants them enslaved.The show has two Licensed Games, Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E. for consoles and Operation: S.O.D.A. for the Game Boy Advance. The series also appeared in two Massive Multiplayer Crossover games: the FusionFall MMORPG, with various characters from the show serving as NPCs, and the fighting game Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion, with Numbuh One, Father and the Toiletnator appearing as playable characters.In March 2015, Mr. Warburton's blog started an ARG with a Rainbow Monkeys site (revealing a database search when clicking the nose) and a video teasing a possible sequel series, Galactic: Kids Next Door. It was revealed to essentially be an April Fool's joke after this video was posted, but with the caveat that it appears to be the lead-in to an attempted viral campaign to get a sequel series made. A petition was made to get the series greenlit here. This was later proposed to Cartoon Network, but executives refused due to their lack of interest.This show now has a character sheet and its movie now has its own page: Operation: Z.E.R.O., as does its original pilot, No P in the OOL. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_121476bd | comment |
Numbuh 13 also, mainly due to being The Millstone and The Jinx. It's to the point that in "Operation: I.T.", being presented with the possibility of him being Soopreme Leader is enough for many operatives to forgo their dislike of the job and dog pile him just so he wouldn't be it, with one even exclaiming "anyone but him!" | |

Cannot Keep a Secret | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_125f3ee4 | comment |
Numbuh Five is usually the one to elbow her teammates when they need to shut it, like with Numbuh Four at the end of "Operation: R.O.B.B.E.R.S.", or Numbuh Three in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.". Note that it hardly works on the latter: if you truly want Kuki to shut up, you need to gag her. Even then, there's no guarantee. | |

Creator Cameo: According to Mr. Warburton, a few of the crowd-filler villains are caricatures of the show's staff.note Specifically, Nogoodnik, the Big Idea, the Sheep Costume and the Iguana are respectively modeled after Warburton himself, Kevin Kobasic, Mo Willems and Robert Smith. | |

Abnormal Ammo | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_12c65d9b | comment |
Abnormal Ammo: Goes hand-in-hand with the 2x4 technology used by the KND, but used by other organizations and villains as well. The Six Gum Gang uses revolvers loaded with already-chewed gum, a sea coffee-drilling rig is equipped with coffee-bean turrets and one episode even has the U.S. government using giant robots that shoot bubblewrap. However, the weapons used by the KND seem to flip-flop between firing weird ammo or just firing laser or energy beams. Teens and adults typically use lasers, though. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling: Numbuh Two's little brother Tommy tends to get on his older brother's nerves. Numbuh 86's little brothers. No wonder she hates boys. (Though this in her own words. When shown, it's revealed they're not as bad as she made them out to be.) Numbuh Three's sister, Mushi. Which is ironic as they actually started out getting along with each other. Numbuh 362's little brother Harvey, Numbuh 363, who constantly antagonizes Numbuh One. Numbuh Four's baby brother Joey. (But Numbuh Four quickly turns into a Papa Wolf if someone messes with Joey.) Cree considers Numbuh Five to be this to her. | |

Card-Carrying Villain: Nearly all of the villains are this. Supervillain meetings are held regularly. They shop at a supermarket which is "for villains only, and even hold a Villains Choice Awards ceremony, which is shown on public television! Several lines in the series directly mention this trope, like this gem from "Operation: T.R.I.C.K.Y.": | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_144ec68f | comment |
Negated Moment of Awesome: The Cyclocannon. Right after Sector V finishes morphing their bikes and counting down from five, Tommy shows up and does what he does best, crashing right through it with his bike and destroying it. Almost every appearance of Numbuh Three's Giant Mecha H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P., a giant robot bunny. It becomes a Running Gag early on in the series, where whenever it shows up for a Big Damn Heroes moment, it is immediately smashed. | |

Little Miss Badass: Played straight with Numbuh Three and possible Numbuh 86, but subverted with more or less all the other girls in the Kids Next Door (especially Numbuh Five and Numbuh 362) who for the most part are, well, still badass, but don't seem to be intentionally intended to be cute or especially effeminate in any way. Instead they tend to have some what androgynous dress senses (really especially Numbuh Five and Numbuh 362) and personalities to match. | |

Right Behind Me | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: There have been two episodes where Numbuh Four makes the mistake of insulting someone nearby when they can hear him. Rainbow Monkey Kong ends up attacking Numbuh Four after he had just placated him with a hug in "Operation: H.U.G.S." when Numbuh Four made the mistake of calling the creature "stupid" while Rainbow Monkey Kong was in earshot. In "Operation: T.R.I.C.K.Y.", Numbuh Four berates Halloween as being for babies who get candy by dressing up as girly butterflies. He turns around and realizes to his embarrassment that his statement has pissed off Numbuh Three, who it so happens has chosen to go as a butterfly for Halloween. | |

Frothy Mugs of Water: Parodied in an episode where root beer is treated like actual beer, complete with references to U.S. Prohibition. In fact, all soda is pretty much treated like alcohol in the KND universe. And then there was the ep where Numbuh Five and Stickybeard had a drinking contest, by downing huge frothy mugs of pure sugar. | |

At one point, Numbuh Five has to go swimming in his stomach juice. Stomach juice is hydrocholric acid, and would've eaten through her clothes and skin if portrayed realistically. | |

"No. Just… No" Reaction: In "Operation I.T.", Numbuh 362 declares a game of tag after she tires of being the Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door, and anyone who is It by noon will be the new Supreme Leader; and judging by everyone's terrified reaction, they don't want the position either. After Numbuh 13 gets taggednote His tagger was barely conscious from a crash-landing, and had his helmet pulled over his eyes and celebrates becoming the new Supreme Leader, a bunch of kids dog pile him to become It, because even though they don't want the position, they definitely don't want him to have it either. | |

Stealth Pun | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: When Father is turning KND operatives into animals, Numbuh 86 is turned into a dog. Get it? Because she's a bitch! Or because she was already a "scottie" before being turned into a scottie. Although she looks more like an Irish Setter. Lampshaded by one of the agents who works under her: A more complex (and probably accidental) one comes in "Operation: B.U.N.N.Y.", where one of Heinrich's henchmen attacks Numbuh Two with a machine gun that shoots lollipops. This could be a double reference to the Dum Dum lollipop and the Dum Dum bullet, which saw heavy use in Colonial India (especially since the episode was basically a Whole-Plot Reference to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). One of the things Gramma Stuffum forces kids to eat are pies with tentacles. Octopies. In "Operation: H.O.T.S.T.U.F.F.", instead of the show's normal intro, the episode begins with Kuki's father sternly telling her not to turn up the thermostat (even though the house is freezing cold). In other words, it's a literal Cold Open. | |

Take Our Word for It: In "Operation: R.A.I.N.B.O.W.S.", Numbuh Three completely freaks out when Mr. Mogul tells her what he intends to do with the Rainbow Monkeys, something the viewers are not privy to. What makes this even more disturbing is that Mogul (whose name is a rather dead giveaway to his motivations) runs the company that makes the Rainbow Monkey toys. | |

In "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-T.H.R.E.E.", the KND almost win their battle against the DCFDTL for their cake that they were going to eat in front of the children around the world on TV, but they end up giving up and let them eat it. This is due to the fact that the chicks Numbuh One was saved by ended up going to the bathroom on it, making it soiled. Which the Delightful Children didn't know about when the KND decided to trick them into eating it. Much to the disgust of all the kids around the world that witnessed the whole scene. | |

Later, during a tag game to decide who will take 362's place, Numbuh Two is rushing to find somebody to tag in the last few seconds, and he tags the first person he finds on the other side of the door he opens.

Saved by a Terrible Performance | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_2439e725 | comment |
Saved by a Terrible Performance: Whenever Numbuh Four does his homework, it is always one hundred percent incorrect. However, Wally's terrible homework is weaponized thrice in the series. First time is when the Delightful Children from Down the Lane hire some kids to steal everybody's homework. Numbuh Four's is the first one the teacher looks at, which gets the Delightful Children in trouble (Wally attempts to call them out on it, but Numbuh Five stops him). Second time is against a weredog who feasts on homework. Numbuh Five takes Numbuh Five's and feeds it to the weredog, giving it a stomachache (bad homework tastes terrible to weredogs). Third time is against not just the same weredog from before, but an entire honor roll of them including Numbuh Five, who had been transformed into one. Done by Numbuh Four himself, even. He actually got help with his history homework from Numbuh Five and thus the were-dogs could actually eat it (though they still thought it tasted horrible), so he brandished two S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R.s loaded with his math homework (which Abigail didn't help with) and dispatched them with ease. It didn't work on Mrs. Thompson, who was the Queen and thus unaffected by bad homework. | |

Mythology Gag: To some of the staff's previous series: Mo Willems, one of the writers, had previously created Sheep in the Big City with Curious Pictures and CN, so Sheep appeared in a few ways- he appeared as one of Numbuh Three's stuffed animals in "Operation: T.H.E.-F.L.Y."; during "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.", when the DCFDTL got turned into sheep by Father's forcefield thing, the leader of the group looks suspiciously like Sheep; and during the convention center scene in "Operation: Z.E.R.O.", one of the villains behind Crazy Old Cat Lady and next to the Dodgeball Wizard looks like a humanized version of Sheep — complete with vertically stacked eyes. Willems' previous segment from KaBlam!, The Offbeats, was homaged in Numbuh Five's segment from "Operation: R.E.P.O.R.T.", as it was drawn in the style of that. | |

Bilingual Bonus: Numbuh Three's last name, Sanban, loosely translates to "third" in Japanese. Mushi's first name translates to "insect". In "Operation: T.R.I.P.", the Interesting Twins from Beneath the Mountain crash into a poster which reads ��� ("itai"), which translates from Japanese to "painful", lampshading their Chew Toy status in the episode. Numbuh One's last name, Uno, is Spanish for "one". | |

For instance: Subverted with Negative Numbuh Two in "Operation: P.O.O.L.". Since the good Numbuh Two has an awful sense of humor, his Evil Counterpart is funny. | |

Evil Teacher | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_2d5400a9 | comment |
Evil Teacher: While you would have expected this type of villain to have been common, the team tended to have bigger problems with evil students than with teachers. In fact, the closest they ever came to a villain like this was Mrs. Thompson, the Were-Dog Queen, and she was a subversion, having been inflicted by the curse of lycanthropy by an angry ex-husband. She turned out to actually be a rather decent sort in the end. (Well, not decent enough to bend the rules and excuse Numbuh Four's bad schoolwork, even though he was the one who broke the curse, but still decent compared to most adults on the show.) One possible example is Mr. Frybingle, Numbuh One and Two's history teacher from "Operation: A.R.C.H.I.V.E.", whose actions appear to imply Nigel's insane, conspiracy-heavy report is actually true. The Parent-Teacher Organization of Eradicating Youngsters fits the bill pretty well, but they're incredibly minor members of the KND's Rogues Gallery. Hell, they weren't even the focus of their debut episode! | |

The elderly residents aren't really that starved either, but they are unhappy with the food they were give as it is not good for them. | |

Strange Minds Think Alike: A literal example is used with the above Creepy Children. Numbuhs One and Two, having no clue what bras are, use a backronym generator on the word, and eventually conclude that it stands for "Battle Ready Armor" and is a secret Teenager armor device. After some embarrassing hijinx, The Stinger shows us that that is indeed what the Teenagers are using bras for (yes, even the boys). They even use the same backronym. | |

Logic Bomb: How Numbuh Four defeats the robots in "Operation: S.A.F.E.T.Y.", by making the main robot to realize that he and the other robots aren't making the world safe for kids since the robots themselves are potentially dangerous. Since the robots' main directive is making the world safe for children, they self-destruct when recognizing themselves as another threat. That, and Numbuh Four did a perfectly good Wounded Gazelle Gambit on them by tricking said main robot into thinking it accidentally hurt his little brother. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Plenty of villains in the series have shown to do this: Stickybeard saves Sector V from the giant white asparagus because while he steals candy from kids, he won't allow anyone to be forced to eat asparagus. Every villain in "Operation: M.U.N.C.H.I.E.S." is shocked and appalled when Knightbrace reveals that he bought the last box of Rainbow Munchies cereal just to destroy it. They don't even hesitate in teaming up with Sector V to beat Knightbrace up and take it from him. If you type in any profanity in the GKND site, it will tell you to watch your language. In fact, it will react in disgust if you type in a certain part of the male anatomy. | |

Unfortunately for Numbuh Five, when she said that her dog didn't eat her homework, she only meant her dog as she then turns into a Were-Poodle and tries to eat her. The gang is able to beat her by feeding her Numbuh Four's god-awful homework. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_34e1ef45 | comment |
Unnamed Parent: Subverted. To the Kids Next Door, adults are the enemy, and so they don't really care what the adults are named beyond "Mom" or "Dad". All adults are either "Mr. ______" or some variation on the gimmick they use to fight the KND. The biggest villain for the majority of the series is the demonic figure known only as "Father". The one who eventually tops him is the Dracula-esque "Grandfather". Three guesses as to the nature of their relationship. In addition, quite a few of the kids' parents are named as the series goes on. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_3517000d | comment |
Mad Scientist: Mushi Sanban turns her sister's Rainbow Monkey doll into a spank-happy zombie in "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E.". Basically a lot of KND Operatives are eccentric scientists. Several villains also qualify, like Professor XXX-L (who goes to bizarre lengths to try and create the perfect snow cone) or Chester (who at one point created a Lotus-Eater Machine as part of a plan to make a lot of money so he could sell his invention for parents to use to keep their children under control). | |

World's Best Warrior | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_35a13198 | comment |
World's Best Warrior: Chad Dickson, a.k.a. Numbuh 274, Soopreme Leader of the KND, was considered to be THE best operative on the planet, and possibly in all of the history of the KND. After his defection, the title eventually went to Numbuh One, Leader of Sector V and the primary protagonist of the show. Chad despises Nigel so much because even as a Fake Defector, Nigel was still believed to have surpassed — a fact that, much to the misfortune of Chad, is proven to be true. | |

Lethal Chef | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_35ae6a23 | comment |
Lethal Chef: Villain Grandma Stuffum has horrible cooking as a literal power. Lizzie is a more usual example of the trope. When Nigel is sick, she makes him her special "Chicken banana-fritter soup". With "extra curly fries". Nigel uses the soup as an explosive later on. Her pie in "Operation: H.O.L.I.D.A.Y." is so gross, it makes Numbuh Two pass out when he accidentally swallows just a slice. | |

Pirate Song: "Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E." has a more grim example than most with "LICORICE", sung by Stickybeard and his crew as they tell the story of a pirate named Black John who was cursed after stealing a whole forest of licorice trees, and how Stickybeard and his cabin boy Heinrich unwittingly invoked the wrath of the cursed pirates. | |

Traumatic Haircut | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_36ae9f5d | comment |
Traumatic Haircut: More often than not, at least one Kid ends up getting their hair chopped, shaved, pulled, or burned off during a mission. Memorable example is Abigail in "Operation: L.I.C.E.", where her hair is eaten by giant chubby, shrieking mutant lice. It's implied that Numbuh One is permanently bald as a result of being tortured by the DCFDTL. In "Operation: D.A.D.D.Y.", parents giving their own children horrible haircuts is treated like this. | |

Short-Lived Leadership: One episode involves Lizzie making herself the leader of a mission while Nigel is taking a shower. She manages to make the others follow her long enough to get them to the teenager's flying football stadium, but Nigel takes over again as soon as she finds him in a locker. She then decides to take over again while Nigel is away to get her some icecream, just before the credits roll. | |

One of the Delightful Children becomes a mole, making Sector V think he's helping them destroy the other DCFDTL's coffee supply, when it's actually a trap to steal the teams top-secret plans. As it turns, out, the KND are pulling a Batman Gambit of their own; the briefcase they steal actually has a bomb, and after the Delightful Children spring their trap, the heroes get the last laugh and manage to destroy the coffee supply anyway. | |

G-Rated Drug | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_3aa2ac42 | comment |
G-Rated Drug: The show has a few examples. Soda is treated like alcohol in a few episodes (the main focus of "Operation: P.O.P."). In "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.E.I.N.", Numbuh Two reveals that he was once "addicted" to chocolate sauce, but quit. (But at the end of the episode, eats some of it after Mushi runs away with King Sandy, saying that she's "enough to make you go on the sauce", "the sauce" being a common slang term for alcohol.) Coffee is still coffee outright but its effects on people and reputation in the universe are drug-like (giving the drinker bullet-time abilities, super speed, and having notably addictive qualities, in addition to the drinker crashing hard after it wears off). | |

Foregone Conclusion: Assuming it isn't rendered non-canon, "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S." ends up being a retroactive one for the GKND plotline. Since Earth is still intact and all of Sector V has grown to adulthood with the GKND still being a secret, it obviously means that the GKND's plans were foiled and Nigel is back on good terms with Sector V. | |

Noodle Incident | |

Noodle Incident: Numbuh Five refuses to assume leadership of the team until the series finale due to something that happened in the past, and will not say why. Numbuh 86 knows why, and will not mention the reason either, merely stating that she understands. It may have had something to do with her mistake that cost Nigel his hair, but this is only an assumption. In the "Kenny and the Chimp" short that was part of the pilot, Professor XXX-L has some sort of grudge against the PTA, and heads off to fight them for the majority of the short; he returns having had his lobster arm ripped off. In "Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E.", Numbuh Five asks Stickybeard where Heinrich Von Marzipan is and he replies that he's probably gotten in trouble with the Marshmallow Mayans again. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The show averts The Good Guys Always Win, and the KND lose almost as often as they succeed. And conversely, as much as we may wish otherwise, sometimes bad people get away with what they do despite efforts to the contrary. Robin Food and his Hungry Men are the kitchen staff of a retirement center who are too lazy to actually make food and settle for stealing kids' lunches. However, the senior citizens that reside there are unwilling to eat the stolen food because most of it is not healthy for elderly people. As humorous as Sector V's constant failures at the cake missions are, you can't remain on a task if you fail it one too many times. When they fail yet again in the series finale, Numbuh 362's patience finally runs out, and the task is reassigned to her younger brother and his sector. Speaking of said younger brother, Numbuh 363 is disliked by almost everyone in the Kids Next Door for his attitude, but he gets away with it because his sister is the Supreme Leader. The second he loses said connection via his sister stepping down, he is promptly decommissioned. Successful or otherwise, if literally no-one likes you, chances are that you won't get to hang around for too long. | |

An interesting example of this is the way Father was defeated in "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.". While his plan did fail and it did indeed fit this trope, Father was such a Manipulative Bastard that he was able to use it to his advantage for a later scheme, in "Operation: I.T.". (Unfortunately for him, he was ultimately Hoisted by His Own Petard at the end of that scheme as well.) | |

Xanatos Speed Chess: When Sector V had to improvise an attack on a "Villains Awards Show" without Numbuh One's help. It involved a lot of disguises, a chunk of sneaking around, and lots of snot. Worked out, until it was revealed that Numbuh One was Kid-napped and set up as an award, causing the plan to backfire. Thankfully, they managed to rescue him in time for the plan to work out. By simply rushing the stage and carting him away. The adults had no clue what was going on. | |

Latex Perfection: Pretty much the game plan for The Interesting Twins from Beneath the Mountain. They're able to change disguises when needed, without anyone knowing. They get foiled, however, because the Japanese KND and Sector V know about it and aren't fooled. In the first episode they appear in, it turns out that the KND foil them with a Batman Gambit by disguising as Numbuh Three's grandmother, by playing the very same trope. Same goes to the Japanese KND, who also played this trope to ALSO foil the Interesting Twins' plan. | |

Butt-Monkey: Numbuh Four, who is often the first to get beat up or made fun of by villains or fellow teammates due to his stupidity and occasional moments of arrogance. Tommy, whose desire to be a hero is often undercut by his flair for the theatrics that makes it hard for some people to take him seriously. The Toiletnator, the laughingstock of all the KND villains (to the point that his fellow adults are ashamed to be associated with him). Even when he makes an effort to improve in his villainy, it often comes at the expense the other adults' plans. | |

Numbuhs One and Two, having no clue what bras are, use a backronym generator on the word, and eventually conclude that it stands for "Battle Ready Armor" and is a secret Teenager armor device. After some embarrassing hijinx, The Stinger shows us that that is indeed what the Teenagers are using bras for (yes, even the boys). They even use the same backronym. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: Numbuh 4-30teen-7. Surprisingly no clear sign of being subverted. Then there was the unfortunate incident (which happened off-camera) where Numbuh One bluffed his way past the Toiletnator to get into the villains' secret lair with nothing more than a T-shirt with the words "I am not Numbuh One" written on it as a disguise. Told by Mr. Boss to emphasize how stupid the Toiletnator is. | |

Then he pulls out seven other guns from various spots on his body which she blasts out one by one. Thus Nigel is left with only... a comb, which Cree also shoots from his hand. | |

He would have been successful had his assistant Anna (who had her own crush on him) not sabotaged his plans. When Anna tells Jimmy she is in love with him, he subsequently returns her feelings, abandoning his fixation on Lizzie. Considering some recent developments, it's a good thing he did, for more reasons than one. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The early episodes, mainly season 1, portrayed Sector V as fairly flat characters with little real personality or emotion beyond their main traits. Later in season 1 and especially from season 2 onward, their personalities and emotions were fleshed out more and they had more depth added to them. Similarly, at first, Sector V seemed to be the only existing group of the Kids Next Door as some sort of unique and special operations group of friends, but they were quickly referred to as merely an outpost of a larger group starting around "Operation: Q.U.I.E.T.", which would eventually grow into the organization's Myth Arc and steadily be expanded by numerous characters both recurring and one-off. Sector V was also originally depicted as being a bit more prone to failure on their missions, getting battered around like they really were just a bunch of kids way in over their heads without their 2x4 technology. The early episodes are a lot more prone to Monster of the Week if the Delightful Children were not the recurring antagonists, to the point that moreso than any other season there's a bunch of one-off villains and evil things never seen or mentioned again. This worked with the early formula of just kids messing around fighting whatever kids could consider evil, but as the story started to emphasize more continuity, some of the villains would become recurring as well as less random, though the series never entirely disposes of one-offs. Teenagers were initially introduced as a neutral party from kids and adults, with the Kids Next Door even being horrified with the implication of them turning into adults. However, the second season established them as villainous as the adults and the Delightful Children. | |

Fat Bastard: One thing this show has no shortage of would be overweight people who happen to be mean or evil. Cheese Shogun Roquefort, an obese samurai who likes to steal cheese from people. Chester, a fat guy who often attempts get-rich-quick schemes that revolve around exploiting and/or harming children. Numbuh Five's rival Heinrich Von Marzipan, a chubby lad who will do anything to get candy, even if he has to steal from other children or kill a first grade class's pet in order to get it. Stickybeard, an obese candy pirate who loves stealing candy from children. Grandma Stuffum is a Lethal Chef who is overweight and is often trying to force-feed children with her revolting food. Mr. Boss is a fat Corrupt Corporate Executive who once tried to send his employees' children into space just so that their working hours would last much longer. The Crazy Old Cat Lady is yet another obese enemy of the Kids Next Door. The Toiletnator even refers to her as "portly" in "Operation: F.L.U.S.H." when he mistakes her for a disguised Numbuh Two. Mr. Mogul, the rotund head of the Rainbow Monkey Corporation, who in "Operation: R.A.I.N.B.O.W.S." tried to manipulate Numbuh Three into helping him capture real Rainbow Monkeys with the intent of doing something horrible to the living creatures. The exact details aren't given, but it's implied he wants to kill the real Rainbow Monkeys and make them into toys. Former class president James Nixon McGarfield used to be on the Kids Next Door's side, but eventually became a corrupt and pudgy antagonist. Subverted with Professor XXXL, who's a stocky mad scientist, but only wants to create the perfect snow cone. The sole reason he fights the Kids Next Door is because they assume he's up to no good and attack him unprovoked. | |

Invisible Parents | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_5369c081 | comment |
Invisible Parents: Zigzagged. Each member of Sector V's parents fit this trope to varying degrees, usually based on how much the particular member sees their parents as anything more than a voice yelling at them. Numbuh One's father was The Faceless for most of his original appearance, but the camera panned up to actually show his face after he dejectedly accepted his son saying he didn't want to fish with him. Numbuh Two and Numbuh Three's relatives are always clearly shown, as they usually play a prominent role whenever they're featured. Numbuh Four's parents, similar to Numbuh One's, remain faceless until Numbuh Four actually views them as real people (such as when he was forced to fight his caffeine-crazed father or when they both protected him from what they believed were moon-monsters). Numbuh Five's parents remain faceless for the entire series, as in each appearance they amount to little more than The Cosby Show parodies. | |

The last episode also reveals his mother was the first female operative. He is also related to the villains of the series as Father is Monty's brother meaning Father is Nigel's uncle and Grandfather is his actual grandfather. | |

Eviler than Thou: A lighthearted and hilarious example occurs in "Operation: A.W.A.R.D.S." The nominees for best villain of the year are Father (who is favored to win), Mr. Boss, Grandma Stuffum, and Stickybeard. Unfortunately, after Numbuh One (who they intended to use as the reward) is rescued by the rest of Sector V, the four villains get into a fight over who should win, and when Knightbrace actually opens the envelope to announce the winner, a bomb set by the heroes goes off, preventing anyone from knowing who the winner is. (The fight between the four continues into the end credits.) | |

Of the "very long time" and "blink and you'll miss it", variety. In "Operation: F.L.A.V.O.R.", Numbuh Five tastes the "fourth" flavor of ice cream, but is stopped before she can exclaim what it tastes like. Fast forward to Operation: Z.E.R.O. and the title character, shortly after recommissioning briefly says what it is: "I have a hankering for some blurpleberry ice-cream — it's the closest thing to the fourth flavor I've ever tasted!" | |

Boats into Buildings | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_5b36f7f1 | comment |
Boats into Buildings: The Bizarrchitecture treehouse bases from which KND agents operate are constructed out of a combination of local buildings, monuments, and vehicles, including ships: The Treehouse in Sector V, out of which the protagonists operate, includes the prow of a large cruise ship. Greek Sector Treehouse has two cruise ships incorporated into the structure. Peruvian Sector Treehouse has what looks like an old fishing trawler incorporated into the structure. Kids Next Door Arctic Training Base and Prison plays with the trope: the "treehouse" is built into the roots of a lone pine tree that appears to grow out of the arctic ice, with salvaged structures including a large cruise ship hidden below the surface. Not technically land-based, but it fits the spirit of the trope. The Central Bike Hub in Sequoia National Park, California is built into the branches of a Redwood tree, and includes a large ship. Zigzagged in the Deep Sea Science Lab, with is underwater. The salvaged oil platform and cruise ship that make up the base are tethered to the bottom of the ocean by seaweed, resembling the treehouses operatives utilize on land. Despite being on the moon, the first KND Moonbase included both a cargo ship and a submarine in the structure. The Seriously Cool Museum of Artifacts and Stuff was built with what looks like a Spanish galleon in the branches of the tree. The Super Convention Center, perched in the branches of a tree atop the Empire State Building, has a large cruise ship parked on top of an airport as part of the design. Sector J's Treehouse base, in Jamaica, is a treehouse built on a palm tree. A large cruise ship with what looks like a cannonball hole in the side is part of the design. The Sector U Treehouse in Guatemala appears to have a small boat hung on a lower bough. | |

And I'm the Queen of Sheba: "Operation: W.H.I.T.E.H.O.U.S.E." has Numbuh One wake up in a reality where he's an adult, President of the United States, and expected to sign a bill ensuring the destruction of the Kids Next Door. When he tries to explain to the current incarnation of the Kids Next Door that he really is Numbuh One, one of the operatives snarks "Yeah, and I'm Queen of the Rainbow Monkeys". | |

Plot Hole | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: When Tommy has his "Eureka!" Moment in "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.", it involves turning the Delightful Children From Down The Lane and Father into impromptu Kids Next Door operatives to turn their animalization ray against them. The problem is that later on, in "Operation: Z.E.R.O.", we find out the Delightful Children were the long-missing members of Sector "Z", meaning fundamentally they should've been logged into the system and transformed into animals from the start, as the Recommissioning Module worked on them; no mention is made of their boogers being added to the K.N.D. Module a second time or reverifying the process to make this possible. | |

Thanks to her Drill Sergeant Nasty, sometimes misogynistic attitude and having a Hair-Trigger Temper, Numbuh 86 secures herself a spot as one of the least tolerated members of the KND. In "Operation: S.L.U.M.B.E.R.", she has to recruit four operatives into coming to spend the night at her house since she isn't formally friends with anyone, and when all is said and done, only Numbuh Three is willing to befriend her. | |

Both Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 4 are able to immediately tell they weren't talking to Lizzie and Numbuh 3 by looking into their eyes, with Numbuh 4 even pointing out that Negative Numbuh 3's eyes look "mean" compared to her counterpart. However, the artstyle gives everyone Black Bead Eyes no matter which side they're on, so the audience themselves can't tell the difference. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Is Numbuh 363 a Bratty Half-Pint? Check. Is he a Jerkass? Check. Is he incredibly cocky and belittling to anyone he disagrees with or gets in his way? Check. Is he incorrect when he claims that Sector V has never once gotten the cake from the Delightful Children and should be replaced "a real sector" (meaning his)? Ch-wait...maybe he isn't. Although his criticisms were entirely out of spite and cockiness, they actually are legit. Sector V hasn't ever once succeeded in retrieving the cake from the Delightful Children, a major reason being that they always fall for the Delightful Children's decoys and blindly walk into what ever traps they have set up for them. Compounding it, Numbuh 363 does prove himself to be a very effective operative, initially finding the most of amount of items in the KND scavenger hunt and outwitting Sector V on multiple occasions. So overlooking his ego and mean-spiritedness, can you think of any other reason why Numbuh 362 shouldn't have reassigned the cake missions to him. | |

Casting Gag | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: Moosk from "Operation: K.N.O.T." is a parody of Minsc from the Baldur's Gate franchise, right down to being voiced by Jim Cummings. Also, Frank Welker voices Professor XXX-L, who in the "Kenny and the Chimp" short, dealt with all kinds of crazy chemicals and diseases; furthermore, he's always got a different set of animal body parts, making him a sort of mutant. All of which seems a bit similar to Welker's character in SWAT Kats, Dr. Viper, who got mutated into a half-animal creature after dealing with an unstable chemical, and spoke with a similar voice (albeit with hissing as opposed to XXX-L's lisp, and it's a bit more sinister). | |

Moon-Landing Hoax | |

Moon-Landing Hoax: "Operation: M.O.O.N." starts with Sector V watching footage from the 1969 landing and laughing about how KND had managed to fool the Apollo 11 crew into thinking that they had landed on the moon, to stop them finding their secret moon base. They then learn that for the anniversary, a family is going to be sent to the moon, and it happens to be Numbuh Four's family. They build a huge fake stage and control everything behind the scenes like The Truman Show in order to convince Numbuh Four's family that they actually had flown to the moon, lived there for a while, and came back to Earth. | |

Idiot Ball | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: In almost every case, an enemy's shortcomings come with some twist of irony during their first defeats, which are preceded by a nearly foolproof plan that the KND narrowly escape due to a small oversight. Mr's Wink and Fibb's device destroys a pool they were protecting during adult swim, Father the pyro is buried under ice cream that only adults have access to after turning Numbuh One into an adult, Grandfather is decommissioned while fighting his son... AGAIN, candy-lover Heinrich is thrown in a chocolate volcano, and so on. Father's most powerful robot single-handedly decimates the Kids Next Door without a scratch in the first season finale, yet he never deploys it beforehand... because he doesn't want it to get scratched. It makes a few minor appearances as a suped-up limo for the Delightful Children after. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: Numbuh 86 again, though her attitude doesn't win her any points with the female members either. Madam Margaret is an extreme version of this trope. She's the ruler of a dystopian future where girls hunt boys and turn them into girls with "girlifying ray guns", and gets the ball rolling by sending her past self said ray guns. Her stated goal is to create a world without boys, and practically accomplished that before an old Numbuh Four (aided by Numbuh Three's granddaughter Sally, ironically) uses her time machine to hit the Reset Button and undo her schemes. The creepy part is that she's a kid in the present. Her entire motivation for wanting guys gone is that she doesn't get along with her brothers. | |

"Be Quiet!" Nudge | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_772f4a4f | comment |
"Be Quiet!" Nudge: Numbuh Five is usually the one to elbow her teammates when they need to shut it, like with Numbuh Four at the end of "Operation: R.O.B.B.E.R.S.", or Numbuh Three in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.". Note that it hardly works on the latter: if you truly want Kuki to shut up, you need to gag her. Even then, there's no guarantee. "Operation: F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E." also has an example, as after they seemingly defeat Grandma Stuffums, she starts gearing up something big to attack the group, but Kuki is continuing on cheering while the others look on worried. Numbuh Five has to hit her in the arm to shut her up and get her to pay attention. | |

"Rashomon"-Style: "Operation R.E.P.O.R.T." does a partial version of this. Each operative does exaggerate their side of the story, but their accounts are consecutive, not simultaneous. The point of the episode isn't actually "find out what really happened," (which is that Sector V got their pizza order mixed up with the Delightful Children's), so much as simply letting the animators play around with five different Art Shifts. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: One by both Gilligan brothers. Early on, Tommy sticks one of Father's boogers in the decommissioning machine to count him as a member of the KND and turn his transforming ray on him. Later, during a tag game to decide who will take 362's place, Numbuh Two is rushing to find somebody to tag in the last few seconds, and he tags the first person he finds on the other side of the door he opens. Tag, Father, you're it! The end of "No P in the Ool", where Numbuh One tries to hijack Mr. Fink and Mr. Fib's chair machine, only to accidentally activate the drill on it, which subsequently drains the pool, meaning neither side wins. In "Operation: T.O.M.M.Y.", because Tommy made friends with the Common Cold, the entire Sector V (save for Numbuh Two) gets captured by the Flu Bug Machine. Numbuh Two's mother fixes everything, though. | |

Kent Brockman News: Several episodes that feature public events had Nick and Chip, two pre-teen reporters providing annoying, pointlessly judgmental commentary which even got under the good guys' skin after a while. Their voices were satires of Howard Cosell and Harry Carey. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_808cbaeb | comment |
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In "Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L.", Numbuh Two calls for the following items while performing the surgery to turn Bradley into a cyborg: A scalpel-laser-claw (a scalpel with a laser attached), a reboninator (a jackhammer-like device), and a chili dog. The crossover with The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy mentions that Billy's dad's lucky pants are immune to lasers, supernatural energy, and mustard. In "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.", it is said that the Kids Next Door follow a code of bravery, strength, and all-night chocolate milkshake parties. "Operation: G.I.R.L.F.R.I.E.N.D." has Lizzie go on a tirade about Numbuh One's shortcomings. She brings up his tendency to spend so much time on his missions that he's barely around for their dates and that he accidentally beat up her grandmother, ending the list by pointing out that he ate a meatball sandwich as if it was a truly horrible thing to do. | |

Werewolves Are Dogs | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_8104c755 | comment |
Werewolves Are Dogs: In Operation: H.O.U.N.D. and its continuation, Operation: D.O.G.H.O.U.S.E., the antagonist of those episodes is Valerie, a werepoodle that ate Numbuh 5's homework to disqualify her as a honor role student, and Mrs. Thompson, Numbuh 5's homeroom teacher who leads the weredogs as their queen. Numbuh 5 became one in Operation: D.O.G.H.O.U.S.E, due to her being attacked by Valerie on the previous episode. A literal example of A Dog Ate My Homework, where their weakness is bad homework, which poison to them, though Mrs. Thompson is immune to it due to being the queen. The weredog transformation is a curse, as the transformation came from Mrs. Thompson's necklace, which was given to her by her ex-husband. | |

Smelly Skunk | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_81241767 | comment |
Smelly Skunk: Numbuh Six, otherwise known as Bradley, is a skunk, and the first non-human Operative in the series. His spray is actually a plot device, as it negates Chester's mind control. His real parents also show up and play the trope straight. Bradley later becomes R.O.B.O.B.R.A.D.L.E.Y. in "Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L." where cybernetics turn his musk into even more potent rocket-propelled stink-bombs which he uses against Cree. | |

There were quite a few Star Wars references and parodies throughout the series, the most notable being "Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G." which recreates the famous Battle of Hoth scene. Likewise, "Operation: E.L.E.C.T.I.O.N." recreates the Battle of Yavin (with a helping of the Battle of Endor). | |

Kids Hate Vegetables | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_81c113ae | comment |
Kids Hate Vegetables: Broccoli is hated by all of the kids (and the adults, but unlike the kids, they can handle broccoli if they have to eat some). A number of other vegetables however, they can tolerate. In the episode "Operation: I.T.", Father gets made the leader of the Global KND, but in order to get in the KND's good graces, he enacts a plan to rid the world of broccoli once and for all, something all of the KND are overwhelmingly in favor of. Unfortunately, to everyone's horror, the only way to get rid of broccoli is to eat it. Later in the episode, Numbuh 362 becomes comatose after eating broccoli. In "Operation: S.P.R.O.U.T.", a "Fantastic Voyage" Plot episode, Numbuh Four accidentally eats a brussel sprout. The KND enact an entire ploy to get into Numbuh Four's body to destroy the brussel sprout before it begins to make him enjoy cleaning his room, among other things. Later on, he accidentally starts it all over with some liver. | |

"Join Us" Drone | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_82c4178b | comment |
"Join Us" Drone: In "Operation: D.A.T.E.", the Delightful Children from Down the Lane hold a party, inviting every kid in town. They then lure the kids into having their photos taken, using the "camera" to brainwash them. When discovered by Numbuh One and Lizzie, the brainwashed victims all chant "Join us" in unison. "Operation L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N." has a bit of a variant, since the power subjugating the Sector is caused by being spanked by a vampire without their glove. So when Numbuh Five is the Final Girl among the group who've been turned, they cite her as being "bad" as an excuse to spank her and turn her into a spank-happy vampire. | |

Pun | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_83445b04 | comment |
Pun: Numbuh Two is the Patron Saint of this trope. A real Pungeon Master. Apparently, in one of the Indiana Jones parodies, Numbuh Five is tested about the Ice Cream flavor of the Day. Her answer? Sundae. The Ice Cream Gods must believe puns are a form of logic, because she is allowed access after she answered. Lampshaded by the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, who proceed to complain that it's the stupidest thing they'd ever heard until it actually works. Towards the end of the series, a subplot about an extremist KND Splinter Cell develops. When it's revealed that they're operatives of the Galactic KND, and are flora-based aliens, meaning not only is the phrase Splinter Cell appropriate, but they're metaphorical and literal plants. | |

Formerly Friendly Family: Abby and Cree. Back when Cree was still a KND operative, she and Abby were as tight as could possibly be, with Cree even being the prior owner of Abby's hat. However, in present day, Cree is now a teen and a traitor to the KND, as well as being a common minion of Father's, with the two now being bitter enemies. Numbuh Three and her younger sister, Mushi, start the show very close, with there being hints that Mushi looks up to Kuki. Then Mushi ends up falling for King Sandy and things take a turn for the worse. She ends up stabbing Kuki's Posh Party rainbow monkey, leaving the sisters hating each other. | |

What the Hell Is That Accent?: All of Sector A, the Amish sector, talk like this.

Stalker with a Crush: King Sandy becomes this to Numbuh Three; fortunately, he forgets about her in favor of Mushi. (Unfortunately, that only makes Mushi worse...) Jimmy Nixon McGarfield is this to Numbuh One's girlfriend Lizzie Devine. He even uses a rewired boyfriend helmet on her to force her to fall in love with him. He would have been successful had his assistant Anna (who had her own crush on him) not sabotaged his plans. When Anna tells Jimmy she is in love with him, he subsequently returns her feelings, abandoning his fixation on Lizzie. Considering some recent developments, it's a good thing he did, for more reasons than one. | |

I Was Told There Would Be Cake | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_8b9f8764 | comment |
I Was Told There Would Be Cake: Seven of the episodes feature the KND trying to take the cake from the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, who refuse to share it with anyone. To make it worse, said DCFDTL brag and boast about it, giving the KND justification. The cakes seem to vary, in both appearance and what happens to it (as in destroyed). To start, the first one (used in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D." is a normal one. It is destroyed by accident. The second one ("Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-T.W.O.") is semi-sentient, and attacks the KND. It is destroyed and split into a ton of drops when Lizzie flew in to save Numbuh One. Everyone but the DCFDTL got a bit. The third cake ("Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-T.H.R.E.E.") is a normal one, but bigger than the last one. It isn't destroyed per se, but it is soiled by Numbuh One's pet chicks doing their business, thus ruining the KND's mission. However, it also ruined The Delightful Children's plans, as they ate it!invoked The fourth cake ("Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R.") isn't really made, but it is a good thing, this time, because this year's competition is a trap by Father to mix in the kid competitors into the cake. Ruined by Numbuh Two, however, spilling the cake batter, and ruining his chances at winning the competition this year. The fifth one... ("Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.") well, three words. Death Star-sized. It functions both as an ice cream cake and as a battle station that would destroy all the ice cream on Earth. It is destroyed when one of the ships is shot down, cutting the cake in half. The sixth one ("Operation: S.I.X.") is a doozy, because it pulls a delicious irony — the KND delivers the cake to them. Unknown if the KND retaliates or if the cake is destroyed. Probably not destroyed, because in "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.", Numbuh Two said that they brought the cake back in one piece... once, but that did not stop Numbuh 362 from Pulling Sector V out of the Cake stealing mission and giving the case to Sector W. The seventh one ("Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.") is almost taken by Sector V, but the DCFDTL gets away. Unfortunately, it is stolen by another operative, who put up a scavenger hunt to see who gets the cake. Numbuh One wins, but it turns out it is a cupcake. It is destroyed when the operative who stole it ate it. It turns out the scavenger hunt was a test for Numbuh One to see if he was ready to join the Galactic KND. In "Operation: E.L.E.C.T.I.O.N.S.", the DCFDTL became President of the Student Council by promising a slice of their cake to the officer in charge of counting the votes. After the election, they imprisoned him instead of keeping their word. | |

Similarly, in "Operation: C.A.N.Y.O.N.", the normally harmless Toiletnator's toilet-flushing powers end up sinking all of the KND's cereal and milk out of the Grand Canyon, although that ends up screwing over Mr. Boss's attempts at sending them a sneak attack. | |

Useless Useful Non-Combat Abilities | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_8d5b5a98 | comment |
Useless Useful Non-Combat Abilities: Stealth in the defunct game Operation: B.E.S.T.. It allows you to sneak past enemies, but there is literally one segment in the game (outside the tutorial) where this is required to proceed. Since Death Is a Slap on the Wrist and returns you to the last checkpoint (with the boss' health bar not even going back up), more often than not you can just brute-force your way through fights. | |

Wham Episode | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: In Operation: Z.E.R.O., we find out that Numbuh Zero is Numbuh One's dad, Father is Nigel's uncle and Grandfather, the Big Bad of the film, is actually his GRANDFATHER!!! Not to mention that the DCFDTL are actually the missing Sector Z, and (quite possibly) his adopted cousins. In "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.", we find out that Numbuh One has been chosen as the best operative on the planet and is going to join the Galatic KND. Also, "Operation: G.I.R.L.F.R.I.E.N.D.", which results in the destruction of Sector V's treehouse and Lizzie breaking up with Nigel. Wow. The "teaser" video and website for the potential Galactic Kids Next Door serve as this, big time. In order... The Galactic KND's motives have been thrown into question. Numbuh 74.23 is a Tree Alien who's been disguised as a human for years. Lizzie might also have been an Alien Among Us, if the cryptic "EARTH MISSION COMPLETE" is anything to go by. Numbuh One may undergo a Face–Heel Turn. And the second video revealed that Lizzie is Numbuh Vine, a plant alien. Even the characters are shocked. | |

13th Birthday Milestone: Operatives of the K.N.D. are decommissioned on their 13th birthdays — when they officially become teenagers — so that they do not pass valuable secrets to the evil Teen Ninjas and adults. Abby's sister Cree and Chad are the rare examples that escaped the decommissioning, but the birthday still marked their Face–Heel Turn. For some operatives like Maurice, however, this birthday marks them going undercover as double agents instead. | |

Hive Mind: The Delightful Children from Down the Lane, who seem to represent conformity personified; although later episodes make it clear that they're not a literal case of one mind shared by five bodies, they always speak and act in unison. It's kind of telling that in "Operation: R.E.P.O.R.T.", Numbuh Two's side of the story is the only one that depicts them with five separate bodies rather than five heads on a single two-armed body. | |

Children Are Innocent | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_91672d3e | comment |
Children Are Innocent: Played with in with some cases but subverted in other cases. It's subverted for all KND-operatives as the operatives are very rebellious but played in that most of them (or at least Numbuhs One thru Four) don't even know where babies come from. Numbuh Five's generally the most mature/least innocent of Sector V — her dad's a doctor (he's a parody of Bill Cosby's character from The Cosby Show) and she mentions having an older brother who has some kids of his own, and in one episode, she tries explaining to her teammates how babies are supposed to be born in a hospital. | |

Exaggerated Trope | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_91cecc1e | comment |
Madam Margaret is an extreme version of this trope. She's the ruler of a dystopian future where girls hunt boys and turn them into girls with "girlifying ray guns", and gets the ball rolling by sending her past self said ray guns. Her stated goal is to create a world without boys, and practically accomplished that before an old Numbuh Four (aided by Numbuh Three's granddaughter Sally, ironically) uses her time machine to hit the Reset Button and undo her schemes. The creepy part is that she's a kid in the present. Her entire motivation for wanting guys gone is that she doesn't get along with her brothers. | |

Transformation Conventions: In "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.", the children of the world are transformed into animals and the end result follows National Stereotypes. Japanese KND Numbuh Three becomes a crane, fat Numbuh Two becomes a hippo, and Australian Numbuh Four becomes a koala. The best, though is the misanthropic Irish operative Numbuh 86 becoming a dog, at which a bystander comments, "Well, that figures". The Big Bad of the series, a shadowy man known as "Father", is hit with the animal transformation as well. He turns into a panther. Funnily enough, he still has the smoking pipe he always has sticking out of his mouth | |

13 Is Unlucky: Numbuh 13 is very unlucky, so unlucky that he's spent his entire career being foisted from one team to another because misfortune always befalls his new comrades. | |

Eating the Enemy | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_9ad9c666 | comment |
Eating the Enemy: In the episode "Operation: N.O.P.O.W.U.H.", Grandma Stuffum, a Lethal Chef, invades the kids headquarters and force-feeds them her sentient Anthropomorphic Food when all their weapons are out of power. It's then that Big Eater Numbuh Two tries to invoke this trope by eating all the food, but ends up getting too full. Just when it seems Granny's won, the KND hamsters return from their vacation and devour all the food. Numbuh Two then sends Granny flying on his catapult. Granny returns later in the episode "Operation: F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E.", where this time she tries to invoke the trope on the KND. After fighting with her food minions for a while she summons Slamwich, a giant sandwich monster that gobbles up the KND. But fortunately, Numbuh Two is able to call upon their hamster Joaquin who used the growth ray to get big and eat the sandwich back, freeing the KND. | |

I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin! | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_9b610976 | comment |
I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!: Hoagie (Numbuh Two) was so addicted to chocolate sauce that he used to bathe in it. Eventually he had to sign up to Chocoholics Anonymous. In the KND universe, candy is the number one source of happiness. If a child is kept from candy too long or is given a non-candy substitute, they go through an exaggerated form of withdrawal. In "Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E.", Black John Licorice challenges Abigail (Numbuh Five) to gulping down mugs of sugar. Numbuh Five's sugar level becomes so high that her eyes widen and she begins to shake violently. | |

In "Operation: P.O.O.L.", Numbuh Four is clueless that Negative Numbuh One and Eizzil are not who they claim to be... But when Negative Numbuh Three shows up, he can tell she's an imposter just by looking at her. (In fact, Wally and Kuki's relationship seems to take a positive turn in this episode.) | |

Schmuck Banquet: In "Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.", Sector V find themselves an ancient school build underneath Gallagher Elementary School in order to rescue Leaky Leona. Their trek to rescue her leads them to a cafeteria where the food is laid out perfectly. Numbuh Five is aware that it could be a trap, so she orders everyone to not touch the food. But when the message is passed to Numbuh Three, she completely mishears the message and tells Numbuh Two to "try the onion rings" but Numbuh Two is already putting food on his tray. A gush of milk from where the food used to be begins flooding the entire room, which ironically helps them get out as the only way to the next room is a elevated exit. | |

Stay in the Kitchen: Numbuh 19th Century has this attitude toward girls, and is appalled that there are female KND operatives in the present day. When Numbuh 86 arrives with the intent of decommissioning him, the very first thing he does is to tell her to make herself useful by cooking and doing his laundry. He is subsequently clobbered by her. | |

Foreshadowing: In "Operation: P.O.O.L.", the Delightful Children's good counterparts are called the "Little Traitor Dudes for Children's Defense", indicating they may have been defectors from the KND's Evil Counterpart, the DNK. In Operation: Z.E.R.O., it's revealed that the Delightful Children are KND operatives turned "traitor", although they were brainwashed, mirroring their Mirror Universe. Also, the gag with "Daddy"? Not just a gag. In "Operation: R.E.C.R.U.I.T.", the mother of the KND recruit yells "I told you to keep it down up there, kids". An odd statement given that there is only one kid up there, hinting that the recruit is really The Interesting Twins. | |

Continuity Nod: Frequently, such as Numbuh One recognizing A Glitch in the Matrix when he remembers that Numbuh Four can't swim. A more subtle one is when the Toiletnator mistakes Knightbrace for Numbuh Four and refers to him as his greatest nemesis, likely due to Numbuh Four ruining his chances to look good in front of the other villains in "Operation: M.O.V.I.E.". | |

The Dissenter Is Always Right: This role will usually get swapped around between Numbuh One and Numbuh Five on occasion. If Nigel's suggesting ridiculous theories of what the adults could be planning, they'll likely end up being true. For Abigail, most of this role is relegated to Heinrich Von Marzipan, a former partner who refuses to believe every warning of hers due to his greedy sweet tooth, which would lead to things not ending in his favor, and then immediately blaming her for it. His way of holding a grudge for what happened between them in Guatemala. | |

It's Personal: Numbuh One and Chad Dickson's fight in "Operation: T.R.E.A.T.Y.", which was arguably the most personal fight seen in the entire show. The hostility between the two easily superseded nearly every other conflict seen in the show, as they were actively trying to kill each other. It was because of this that Chad was designated as Nigel's Arch-Enemy (seeing as Father and the Delightful Children are shared by all of Sector V), despite his minimal appearances and his Fake Defector status. | |

To force them into compliance, Numbuh Four tells the villains that the soda he's given them has been poisoned so that their tonsils will swell and explode in 48 hours and that he won't give them the antidote unless they do as he says. In the end, Numbuh Four unwittingly lets it slip that the soda being poisoned was a lie, which the villains are not too happy about. | |

The Delightful Children from Down the Lane reveal to him later that they have a photograph of his nude rear end and blackmail him into quitting the team by threatening to have the picture included in the school yearbook. The rest of Sector V end up laughing their heads off upon finding out about the picture before they collect themselves and start helping Numbuh One get even with the Delightful Children. | |

Unreliable Expositor: Possibly the case in "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.". It is revealed at the end that the adult KND were deliberately misleading Father during the interview, so it stands to reason that the parts of the story that he did not actually witness could have been untrue. In "Operation: R.E.P.O.R.T.", all five members of Sector V seem to be this. If one had to guess, Numbuh Five's version of the story was probably closest to the facts, but they were all rather farfetched. | |

Meaningless Villain Victory | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_a7c91a10 | comment |
Meaningless Villain Victory: "Operation: C.R.I.M.E." has everyone at school being sent to detention for offenses they haven't even done yet thanks to a boy who can predict the future through crayon drawings. It eventually turns out that the boy can't really predict the future and was only pretending so that with everyone else in detention, he'd be first in line at the cafeteria before all the good food is gone. As he succeeds in his scheme, he asks the lunch lady for pizza bagels, only to find that today's lunch is actually a lima bean sandwich. In "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-T.H.R.E.E.", the KND almost win their battle against the DCFDTL for their cake that they were going to eat in front of the children around the world on TV, but they end up giving up and let them eat it. This is due to the fact that the chicks Numbuh One was saved by ended up going to the bathroom on it, making it soiled. Which the Delightful Children didn't know about when the KND decided to trick them into eating it. Much to the disgust of all the kids around the world that witnessed the whole scene. | |

The Friend Nobody Likes | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_a861560f | comment |
The Friend Nobody Likes: Thanks to her Drill Sergeant Nasty, sometimes misogynistic attitude and having a Hair-Trigger Temper, Numbuh 86 secures herself a spot as one of the least tolerated members of the KND. In "Operation: S.L.U.M.B.E.R.", she has to recruit four operatives into coming to spend the night at her house since she isn't formally friends with anyone, and when all is said and done, only Numbuh Three is willing to befriend her. Numbuh 13 also, mainly due to being The Millstone and The Jinx. It's to the point that in "Operation: I.T.", being presented with the possibility of him being Soopreme Leader is enough for many operatives to forgo their dislike of the job and dog pile him just so he wouldn't be it, with one even exclaiming "anyone but him!" The only operative who appears to like Numbuh 363 is his sister. This is because he's an arrogant brat who cares for no one but himself and flies off the handle the second someone touches him. Even his own teammates don't like him and no one sheds a tear who he gets himself decommissioned. On the villains side, the Toiletnator is this for likewise being incompetent and immature, only serving to exasperate his associates or ruining their plans altogether. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Adults in the series tend to be evil or clueless. Exceptions include Vin Moosk (who hunts monstrous ties), Dr. Sigmund Teef (who actually helps Sector V during their first encounter with Knightbrace), and possibly Lasso Lass (who fought against adult tyranny as a child and has apparently not outgrown her role of defending children's right even though she's now elderly). Some of the episodes that feature the kids' parents also prove to be exceptions as well, especially in the Operation: Z.E.R.O. movie. More often than not, those not in on The Conspiracy are susceptible to being Unwitting Pawns. | |

Being the main characters of the show, it's implied at first that they're the only Kids Next Door operatives; however, when the organization is shown to have teams across the globe, Sector V is shown to be one of, if not the best around. Numbuh 362 even explicitly refers to them at one point as the best team in the organization. | |

Myth Arc | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_ac7cbf8d | comment |
Similarly, at first, Sector V seemed to be the only existing group of the Kids Next Door as some sort of unique and special operations group of friends, but they were quickly referred to as merely an outpost of a larger group starting around "Operation: Q.U.I.E.T.", which would eventually grow into the organization's Myth Arc and steadily be expanded by numerous characters both recurring and one-off. Sector V was also originally depicted as being a bit more prone to failure on their missions, getting battered around like they really were just a bunch of kids way in over their heads without their 2x4 technology. | |

"Operation L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N." has a bit of a variant, since the power subjugating the Sector is caused by being spanked by a vampire without their glove. So when Numbuh Five is the Final Girl among the group who've been turned, they cite her as being "bad" as an excuse to spank her and turn her into a spank-happy vampire. | |

Broken Win/Loss Streak: In "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R.", the Gilligans' Tube-A-Thon losing streak is broken by Tommy. Hoagie would've finished the race as well, had there not been a Friend-or-Idol Decision. Speaking of the "C.A.K.E.D." missions, each one that comes up usually has the KND ruining the Delightfuls' Birthday in some form or another. However on the Sixth one (the title which cleverly omitted the "C.A.K.E.D." from it), the Delightfuls manage to get one over on the KND in a delicious irony: they have three of Sector V deliver the cake without them even knowing it till the end. | |

I Ate WHAT?! | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_b1191cb2 | comment |
I Ate WHAT?!: Used in "Operation: P.I.N.K.E.Y.E.", where Numbuh Two is eating Nurse Claiborne's crumbles as he's investigating the mystery epidemic of pinkeye going around the school. Once it gets out that it is Claiborne herself who was the one infecting the students with pinkeye, it also becomes apparent that she was using eye crust for her crumbles, making Numbuh Two gag at the very fact that he was eating them. However, at the very end, he goes back to eating them. However, Numbuh Two may have second thoughts after finding out that the filling of the crumbles is mucus. "Operation: H.O.M.E." has Nurse Claiborne improve Rainbow Monkeys cereal by making the sweet bits out of actual Rainbow Monkey dolls. Kuki was less than thrilled to find this out. In "Operation: S.C.I.E.N.C.E.", Numbuh Two tries to win the 2x4 technology fair with an invention resembling snot called "I Can't Believe It's Not Boogers", only to gross everyone out, especially when he starts touting the substance's edibility. He gets the judges to try some after assuring them that it's not really made of boogers. They find "I Can't Believe It's Not Boogers" delicious, but are immediately disgusted when Numbuh Two tells them that it's actually made of earwax. | |

Take That! | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: This whole show is a massive Take That! towards adulthood. Ironically, this show was made by adults. If you look at it, it's a take that to two things. 1) Kids who are over-dramatic about punishments (such as "no candy") and 2) Adults who thinks they they are automatically better than kids because of age, and turn away from things they see as "childish". (Such as the tie episode, where one of the few adult allies still takes himself seriously from time to time when he needs to, but knows how to have fun when he can and it doesn't sacrifice too much.) It's also clear from a few episodes that the writers are not big fans of Doctor Who. (See Cool and Unusual Punishment above.) | |

Prejudice Aesop | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_b582f140 | comment |
Prejudice Aesop: The episode "Operation: F.U.T.U.R.E." explores an allegory about how stupid sexism is. In the present, young Margaret claims that her brothers pick on her and boss her around. However, this is the same girl who's going to grow up to the tyrannical Madame Margaret who will create a dystopic future where girls have became oppressors to innocent boys everywhere, making her no better than the boys she despises (and no better than the adults the KND fight). Meanwhile, Numbuh Four has grown to be the jaded leader of a rebel band of boys who are trying to take down Madame Margaret. What sets them apart is when an ally comes forth in the form of a girl (Numbuh Three's granddaughter Sally) wanting to join the boys, Numbuh Four eventually acknowledges boys and girls can be allies. | |

Children's Covert Coterie | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_b8ac17e5 | comment |
Children's Covert Coterie: The eponymous Kids Next Door are an organization with international reach, comprised of kids fighting for the rights of kids in a world ruled by adults. While the premise sounds ridiculous at face value, this is set in a world where there are adults, teenagers and some kids who are outright supervillains out to eradicate all the positive aspects of childhood, whether it requires brainwashing, enslavement, artificially aging them into adulthood or just straight-up murdering them. What the KND is collectively differs between seasons, operating anywhere between a paramilitary espionage-organization, to a guerilla-army, an international Super Team, to even a nation unto itself! | |

So much that hearing she will be locked in a dark closet angers her to the point of overpowering a villain that just a moment ago defeated her and two other operatives.

Weaksauce Weakness: As previously stated, Were-Dogs eat homework; however, badly done homework by poor students (like Numbuh Four) makes them sick. Mrs. Thompson herself doesn't have this weakness, however, being their leader and significantly stronger. However, there is another weakness that applies only to her: she can't lie. Numbuh Four quickly finds out that the best way to learn the easiest way to fight her and the other were-dogs is to simply ask her, and it works like a charm. For Knightbrace, it's taffy, which he loves so much, he can easily be tempted and subdued with it. Very ironic, seeing as he's a would-be dentist who otherwise tries to force children to adhere to dental hygiene. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_c25c7890 | comment |
Fun with Acronyms: In spades. The KND seem to absolutely LOVE invoking this! Goes hand in hand with Idiosyncratic Episode Naming, but the various machines the kids use also have acronym names. Some episodes will pause the action when an invention is about to be used, showcasing that invention and rattling off the acronym. The evil KND in "Operation P.O.O.L" got one of these scenes of their own with the S.P.L.A.T.T.L.E. (Smartalecky Prisoner Lobotomizing Apparatus Terrifyingly Tortures Loser Enemy). And in the Mirror Universe episode, the acronyms are even reversed — the counterpart to the Kids Next Door (KND) are the Destructively Nefarious Kids (DNK) and the counterpart to the Delightful Children From Down The Lane (DCFDTL) are the Little Traitor Dudes For Children's Defense (LTDFCD). Only the pilot episode didn't have fun with them — "No P in the OOL". | |

Xanatos Gambit | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_c32ff031 | comment |
Xanatos Gambit: There's an episode where Cree's carrying out an Evil Plan to destroy Sector V but is defeated and sent to jail at the KND Moon Base. That was her true goal; to gain access to the Moon Base, but wiping out Sector V would have been good too. (She aborted The Plan when Chad told her he already tried it and he might have been trying to convince her not to try, seeing as he was a Fake Defector, but it likely would have failed anyway; the access code that she believed she got from her sister she actually got from a dummy that Numbuh Five left as a decoy.) And then there's "Operation: P.R.E.S.I.D.E.N.T.". Both the president and his robotic duplicate work for Father so it doesn't matter which one of them reaches City Hall. "Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R." has one of these in the Kids Next Door's favor. Either Sector V destroys the coffee rig as planned, or, if they fail, the supposed "top secret files" they were meant to share with Lenny, who was pretending to work with them, is actually a bomb, which will go off after the Delightful Children steal it and destroy the coffee rig anyways. | |

Irony: Despite being an organization that fights adult tyranny, all of the KND operatives of Sector V have good relationships with their parents. The biggest obstacle to Professor XXX-L's goal to perfect the snowcone is the fact that he suffers from ice cream headaches very easily. An even bigger example of irony happened in "Operation: T.E.E.T.H.", the first episode featuring Knightbrace. He had attempted to become a dentist, but flunked out of school for forcing braces on people who didn't need them; he almost defeated Sector V in their first battle, but was defeated because they were helped by a licensed dentist — who was up to then their main suspect. Oh, and Knightbrace is also the reluctant owner of a candy shop. | |

Felony Misdemeanor | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_c59cfa2e | comment |
Felony Misdemeanor: Almost all the villains are built on this. Simple things most kids don't like doing such as homework, washing dishes, and eating vegetables are blown to world-destroying proportions. Usually because said villains take it to said proportions. One episode features a hardware-store owner who wants to eliminate two aviators who bought their plane parts from him. Why? Because they kept smudging his counter with chili. Disproportionate Retribution much? This kids = good/adults = bad thing is taken to such a degree that in "Operation: P.O.O.L." it is made to be a bad thing that the adults were doing the things kids do (playing games, getting allowances, etc.) while kids do the things adults do (go to work, taking care of the adults) on a relatively daily basis. How funny that the actions are only awful when they're not being done by their accepted respective age groups. It's normally only shown to be bad when the supervillains take it to extremes; the KND are normally shown having really good relationships with their own parents, even when 86's father is Mr. Boss, and they even state in some episodes that they only fight evil adults. The supervillains' plots are normally something most normal adults in the series would likely have a problem with if they knew (in some cases, this is shown actively). And at the end of "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.", it's revealed that adulthood is literally a disease. One that's spreading unchecked across the universe. | |

Fallen Hero | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_c6655b23 | comment |
Fallen Hero: Both Cree and Chad used to be Kids Next Door operatives, but are now enemies working for the Teen Ninjas. Cree is also a Broken Pedestal to her younger sister Abigail, who looked up to her in her days as a Kids Next Door operative. Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb might qualify, possibly. They were members of a group that was similar to the KND before they grew up and turned rotten. (Whether they were any good at it, on the other hand, isn't clear.) | |

Taken During the Ending: In Season 1 "Operation: C.A.B.L.E.-T.V.", after Sector V stops Mr. B from turning everyone into babies using his Age Cigar, Numbuh One takes the cigar and throws it out the window, believing it's no concern to them. Unfortunately, the Delightful Children From Down The Lane find the cigar on the ground, pick it up and start laughing evilly once it's in their hands. They would later use the cigar during the Season One finale. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower: In general, all of the operatives — especially Numbuh One and Numbuh Four — who come out of training seem to have some degree of superhuman power in one way or another; leaping ridiculous distances, surviving explosions and hard blunt trauma, punching out and tossing around grown men and teenagers, and other odd displays of strength are put on display pretty often. Numbuh Four in particular, despite his small stature, is once even seen launching a solid gold dodge-ball several feet into the air hard enough to destroy a stone statue, among other things. All in all, the more normal operatives are usually still strong enough to beat up the average adult or teen thug bare-fisted — such as Numbuh Two and Three from time to time — but the very best operatives can even take down the super-villains, such as Numbuh One. | |

Numbuh Three is Kuki Sanban — "sanban" is Japanese for "number three" ("san" is one of the words for "three" and "-ban" is a suffix used for ordinal numbers in Japanese), and "Kuki" is a reference to Numbuh Three being a Cloudcuckoolander. | |

Similarly, in "Operation: C.A.N.Y.O.N.", the normally harmless Toiletnator's toilet-flushing powers end up sinking all of the KND's cereal and milk out of the Grand Canyon, although that ends up screwing over Mr. Boss's attempts at sending them a sneak attack. | |

Competence Zone: Anyone 13 or older is a threat to the Kids Next Door, and must have their memories of the organization erased. In this universe, unlike the real one, many teenagers serve as loyal minions for adults (although there are plenty who just view kids as irritants). The show eventually subverted this in the episode "Operation: M.A.U.R.I.C.E.", which revealed that some teenaged KND agents are retained as undercover operatives. Which may or may not be a subtle Shout-Out to the Steve Miller Band. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: A few villains are defeated in this fashion. For example, Chester being trapped in his own Lotus-Eater Machine. An interesting example of this is the way Father was defeated in "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.". While his plan did fail and it did indeed fit this trope, Father was such a Manipulative Bastard that he was able to use it to his advantage for a later scheme, in "Operation: I.T.". (Unfortunately for him, he was ultimately Hoisted by His Own Petard at the end of that scheme as well.) | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: This happens to Numbuh Four in two separate episodes. The first time is in "Operation: M.A.T.A.D.O.R." when the rest of the team is angry at him for fighting in the Bully Fights. (The KND isn't fond of adults, but what the bullies do to them — trap them and give them Klatchian Coffee until they fly into a rage, and then fight them in a bullfight-like setting — that crosses the line.) Numbuh Four has a Heel Realization when his own father is a victim of this cruel sport, and when he ultimately saves the day, he's forgiven. He isn't the second time, however, in "Operation: M.I.S.S.I.O.N." In this one, he tricks the authorities at the KND base in Antarctica into letting four dangerous villains go free — Mr. Boss, Count Spankulot, Stickybeard, and Soccer Mom — and then threatens them so they can compete against his dad's bowling team. All because he's sick of polishing his dad's trophy's. After everything that happened, the rest of Sector V actually sided with the four villains here, and he was punished in the end. Numbuh Five gets one when she's willing to leave Leona to die in the collapsing Fountain of Youth, though somewhat understandable since Leona had tried to kill them to keep her secret. Numbuh Four convinces her that they should save her anyway. | |

Hypocrite: If any villain embodies this trait on the show, it's Mr. Fizz. When adults make soda illegal for kids, he becomes a sort of evil Eliot Ness in charge of enforcing the law, and tells the Operatives that the reason children are such a problem is because of their addiction to the stuff. However, his credibility is ruined by the fact that he is far more addicted to stuff than any of them are, even going so far as to use a caffeine rush to fight them. There are also the Vespinaccians; see Straw Hypocrite, below. | |

Speaking of said younger brother, Numbuh 363 is disliked by almost everyone in the Kids Next Door for his attitude, but he gets away with it because his sister is the Supreme Leader. The second he loses said connection via his sister stepping down, he is promptly decommissioned.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Sometimes averted, other times played straight. If the Kids Next Door are doing a Humongous Mecha battle in town square for example, you will see civilians running away in terror. However, if the children are jumping into trap doors to escape class, pulling out crazy 2x4 technology in public or participating in other related craziness, expect the people around them to be either indifferent, or to bounce back quickly. For example, in "Operation: E.L.E.C.T.I.O.N.S.", Chad and his friend are in class, wearing their Battle Ready Armor and doing some Evil Gloating complete with dramatic laughter. Neither the teacher nor their classmates seem very interested in the two hamtastic teenagers in lingerie-powered ninja gear. The teacher tells them to wait until after his class to talk about attacking an elementary school, but otherwise doesn't care. In "Operation: F.A.S.T.-F.O.O.D.", the KND seem to take the fact that they're rescuing Number Three from a car full of sharks who ordered her for lunch relatively in stride — no-one seems to note the fact that they're sharks who can drive and are intelligent. | |

In "Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S.", the characters' animal forms tend to look realistic as far as colors go. However, there are a few exceptions: Numbuh Four, who becomes a yellow koala, and two unknown operatives that respectively turn into a pink elephant and a green rooster. | |

Injection Plot: In "Operation: S.A.F.A.R.I.", Numbuh One goes to get a shot from Dr. Phineas B. Sharp, who hunts him in his jungle of an office. He then finds out the whole "moose-bump shot" is a plot by Chester to turn kids into literal moose, but the whole thing turns out to be a crazy story he's is telling his mom on the way to the doctor's. | |

Continuity Drift | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_de86b894 | comment |
Continuity Drift: The first season finale, "Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P.", seems kind of off after viewing later seasons. Instead of getting decommissioned, Nigel just leaves the group and gets a job with his memories intact. It stands to reason that they had no reason to go after him. By the system he was still 10 years old and it wouldn't have alerted the decommissioning department. (That, combined with the fact that Numbuh 86 hasn't been introduced yet.) None of his team would report him, either, so as far as anyone outside his team knew, nothing had changed. The true scale of the KND itself only became clear in the later half of the first season. Before, it was implied Sector V was the KND as a whole. Related to this, Chad's actual role as KND's leader and Numbuh 1's friend was something added only in Season 2. | |

Triage Tyrant | |

Triage Tyrant: In the episode "Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L.", Sector V has to get into a hospital to rescue an injured operative who later turns out to be Bradley because operatives who are treated there are being assaulted. Numbuh One has no luck with the triage nurse; even though she seems friendly and harmless, she doesn't take his authoritarian demands seriously. Numbuh Five, who is more polite and often the Only Sane Woman of the team, is luckier and gets some information, but is still unable to get them admitted formally. Despite this, seeing as Adults Are Useless in this cartoon (the ones who aren't evil, anyway), sneaking in is surprisingly easy, and no one tries to stop them. Lucky thing too, because Bradley is targeted by the assailant, who happens to be Numbuh Five's evil sister Cree. | |

The seventh one ("Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.") is almost taken by Sector V, but the DCFDTL gets away. Unfortunately, it is stolen by another operative, who put up a scavenger hunt to see who gets the cake. Numbuh One wins, but it turns out it is a cupcake. It is destroyed when the operative who stole it ate it. It turns out the scavenger hunt was a test for Numbuh One to see if he was ready to join the Galactic KND. | |

"Operation: A.R.C.H.I.V.E." is, surprisingly, basically the "Second Renaissance" short in The Animatrix with the serial numbers filed off. Later, "Operation: R.E.C.R.U.I.T." is the original The Matrix played totally straight until about half way through, where things start getting silly. | |

Flanderization: A minor case with The Delightful Children from Down the Lane, who have always spoken and moved in unison, but in later episodes this is taken even further as they are practically considered a single entity, from wearing a single costume large enough for them to all fit in to having all five of them simultaneously date Numbuh Three. Numbuh Four wasn't really dumb in seasons One and Two, he was just very headstrong and acted without thinking things through. | |

Hate Sink: Numbuh 363 in "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S." His entire purpose in the episode is to screw with Sector V as much as possible, gloat when he steals their wins, use his sister's position as Supreme Leader to boss people around, and ultimately, due to his extreme hated of being touched, being the one to alert Father that KND members were inside his house. He's such an enormous pain that the grown-up Numbuh Five explains that, upon being appointed Supreme Leader, she had to have him decommissioned due to his tendency to freak out upon being touched, often resulting in compromising the mission for his team. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: When a KND Operative turns 13, they usually are forced to retire from the Kids Next Door and have their memories erased so they can't give away KND secrets to the enemy. Some notable exceptions are the teens like Cree that managed to escape being decommissioned, as well as others like Maurice and Chad that were specifically chosen to act as double-agents within the teens' base of operations. It's also implied by the ending of "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S." that the remaining members of Sector V after Numbuh One's departure were also selected to keep their memories. | |

The end credits for the series finale "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S." shows a quick montage of stills from every episodes with the ending song playing until it ends with a picture of Sector V watching a sunset outside the Treehouse with the words "Stay young" above them. | |

Monster of the Week | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_e9604359 | comment |
The early episodes are a lot more prone to Monster of the Week if the Delightful Children were not the recurring antagonists, to the point that moreso than any other season there's a bunch of one-off villains and evil things never seen or mentioned again. This worked with the early formula of just kids messing around fighting whatever kids could consider evil, but as the story started to emphasize more continuity, some of the villains would become recurring as well as less random, though the series never entirely disposes of one-offs. | |

You Are Numbuh Six: Given additional meaning with their, uh, Meaningful Names (see its entry above). The actual Numbuh Six is a skunk. No hidden meaning there, he's just a skunk. But Numbuh Six was introduced before it was revealed that Numbuh's One through Five were just a sector of a much larger KND operation. Also, Bradley the skunk isn't an official Numbuh. Numbuh One granted him honorary status after the events of "Operation: C.A.M.P." They treat the honorary designation as official, however, even coming to Bradley's aid in "Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L.". | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_ea9b44a4 | comment |
The first time is in "Operation: M.A.T.A.D.O.R." when the rest of the team is angry at him for fighting in the Bully Fights. (The KND isn't fond of adults, but what the bullies do to them — trap them and give them Klatchian Coffee until they fly into a rage, and then fight them in a bullfight-like setting — that crosses the line.) Numbuh Four has a Heel Realization when his own father is a victim of this cruel sport, and when he ultimately saves the day, he's forgiven. | |

Crossover: "The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door". Oddly enough, although Numbuh Three made a Crossover Cameo appearance in Billy & Mandy's Big Boogie Adventure, she didn't acknowledge — or even seem to remember — that in the actual crossover. (Over course, while the crossover was shown after the special was, it was never stated which story happened first, chronologically.) | |

In "Operation "N.O. P.O.W.U.H.", when it looks like Sector V would all have been blown up by Gramma Stuffum overfeeding them, the hamsters return from their vacation and eat all the food to save the kids. | |

Kidnapped from Behind: Upon leaving the candy store, Numbuh Four goes on a rant on how he would beat up any dentist attempting to mess with his teeth. When his rant stops, the rest of the team assumes he just decided to shut up. It's not until they return to base that they find him strapped down to a chair with his mouth braced. It immediately happens again to Numbuh Three and Numbuh Five, without Numbuh One or Numbuh Three noticing. | |

World Gone Mad: It's a world where adults live to make the younger generation's lives a living hell. And people get away with turning stuffed animals and pinkeye crust into food. And there's candy pirates who wreck the suburbs pretty damn often, and Father, and Grandfather, and all the villains, and... hell, and some horrible plan about to ruin the lives of children forever and yet their parents always think they're just playing... And then there's "Operation: F.U.T.U.R.E.". My God. It's heavily implied that there's some sort of Weirdness Censor in place that causes non-villain adults to just ignore all the bizarre, catastrophic events around them. | |

Evil Plan | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_f2d8e3c2 | comment |
There's an episode where Cree's carrying out an Evil Plan to destroy Sector V but is defeated and sent to jail at the KND Moon Base. That was her true goal; to gain access to the Moon Base, but wiping out Sector V would have been good too. (She aborted The Plan when Chad told her he already tried it and he might have been trying to convince her not to try, seeing as he was a Fake Defector, but it likely would have failed anyway; the access code that she believed she got from her sister she actually got from a dummy that Numbuh Five left as a decoy.) | |

Who's Laughing Now?: When The Toiletnator sinks an ENTIRE GRAND CANYON'S worth of milk and cereal using his flushing powers. Unfortunately, he did it when the Operatives were about to eat said milk and cereal, and when the adults were actually planning an ambush on them. He unwittingly ruined both the adult's plans and the kid's cereal at once. Naturally, Numbuh 86 berates Numbuh One for what happened, especially letting the Toiletnator get by security, because of said incident. In short, neither side wins. | |

Never Say "Die": Numbuh Four accidentally kills Kuki's pet fish in "Operation: F.I.S.H.Y.", but all the others say is that it's "...you know." Though eventually subverted when Wally offhandedly mentions how "playing with dead stuff" is cool. Played straight in most every other episode, though. The Spinach Inquisition, for example, have their song cut off right when they're clearly about to say "die". | |

Go-Karting with Bowser | |

Go-Karting with Bowser: "Operation: M.U.N.C.H.I.E.S." ends with Sector V and several of the villains happily enjoying the last box of Rainbow Munchies cereal together in the Supervillains Supermarket. Count Spankulot even politely passes Numbuh Four the milk when he asks for it. | |

Special Edition Title | |
Codename: Kids Next Door / int_fc8bc8e | comment |
Special Edition Title: "Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.", with the normally-white background turned green, snow falling over the titles, and the title decorated by Christmas lights (see here)◊. That episode also had a teaser. Only "Operation: E.N.D.", "Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G.", and "Operation: K.N.O.T." had a Cold Opening before this, and those were much shorter than the one in the aforementioned episode. "The Grim Adventures of the KND" also has a special sequence which blends elements of both series' intros together; also preceding it is a cold open featuring Billy attempting to get the Eds' assistance, only to be redirected to the KND. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Played for Laughs with Numbuh 20,000, who tends to go quite a little bit overboard. Also with Count Spankulot during the first episode focused around him. He originally just spanked kids who deserved it (even if their crimes were fairly minor by most standards), and even attempted to join the KND to help fight evil adults after he accidentally spanked the wrong child. However, his mistreatment by the KND left him as being a straight villain by the end of the episode. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_fd69ea80 | comment |
Minor Major Character: The Steve. He's the leader of the Teen Ninjas, yet goes unmentioned and doesn't appear until the last episode before the Grand Finale. Instead, his subordinates Cree and Chad are the ones who drive the plot on the teen's side. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Of the "very long time" and "blink and you'll miss it", variety. In "Operation: F.L.A.V.O.R.", Numbuh Five tastes the "fourth" flavor of ice cream, but is stopped before she can exclaim what it tastes like. Fast forward to Operation: Z.E.R.O. and the title character, shortly after recommissioning briefly says what it is: "I have a hankering for some blurpleberry ice-cream — it's the closest thing to the fourth flavor I've ever tasted!" Not to mention Numbuh Four's singing at the ends of the "P.O.O.L." and "M.O.O.N." operations. | |

Villainous Crossdresser: Chad Dickson in "Operation: S.L.U.M.B.E.R.": This is actually also a Running Gag: the kids mistake bras for a new kind of weapon in "Operation: S.U.P.P.O.R.T.", which they turn out to be in fact at the end of the episode and in later ones. | |
