The Bully | |
| Eliot Kid / int_1b60dcba | comment |
The Bully: Max, Eliot's archnemesis. Even though he's not a giant thug, he makes fun of and intimidates new classmates. Also, he is pretty snobby and arrogant and has bad grades. | |

Wrong Assumption | |
| Eliot Kid / int_38072b53 | comment |
Wrong Assumption: Eliot assumes The Big Webster is a Grandpa God-type Cool Old Guy, but is surprised to find it's just a dictionary. | |

Conspiracy Theorist | |
| Eliot Kid / int_39ed1c8a | comment |
Conspiracy Theorist: The second episode "Invasion of the Robot Clones" has Eliot wrongly believing people are being replaced by robot duplicates. He takes it that seriously people think it's In-Universe, an O.O.C. Is Serious Business. Parodied, in that it's shown in his imagination as Mundane Made Awesome. It's rare for an 8-year-old to be into conspiracy theorists, but this is kept for Willing Suspension of Disbelief. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Eliot Kid / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The episode "Invasion of the Robot Clones" featured the protagonists playing in a rubbish incineration centre and having to be rescued from it. The kids were accused by the workers of having mental problems for believing that Evil Knockoff robot clones were being produced there. | |

| Eliot Kid / int_52350162 | comment |
Father, I Want to Marry My Brother: In the very first episode, we see that Eliot has a crush on his cousin Zoey, and things get so sad for him when she comes to visit because she is getting married. | |

Designated Villain | |
| Eliot Kid / int_593d7cbe | comment |
invoked Designated Villain: Although by no means villains, and just doing their job, the cinema staff in "Operation Pop-Corn" are presented as this, but that's only because we're seeing things from Eliot's point of view. In reality, they're just doing what any cinema staff would do to prevent the cinema from being damaged and were within their rights to get the kids out of areas off-limits to the public and stop them vandalizing the cinema. | |

| Eliot Kid / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Even with all the problems that he causes and the plenty of times that he drives her mad, Suzie doesn't hesitate in confronting anyone that dares to hurt Eliot. She also comforts Eliot when he is sad, worried or angry, in a really charming and loving manner. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Eliot Kid / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Igor the teenage musician, a One-Shot Character in his only episode which was self-titled, may have been dislikeable, but he wasn't far wrong when he was angry with Eliot, Kaytoo and Mimi for damaging his expensive equipment. | |

| Eliot Kid / int_8b4f491c | comment |
Villainy-Free Villain: Although not a true villain by any means and certainly not evil, Cathy, an ice-cream woman running a mobile van who only appeared in one episode, was a slight jerkass. But it was more Jerkass Has a Point due to Eliot and his friends damaging the inside of her highly expensive truck. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| Eliot Kid / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: In "The Big Webster" as punishment for going into the archive room which students are forbidden from, the protagonists Eliot, Mimi and Kaytoo had to copy out the definition of discipline from the Webster English Dictionary. | |

Homage: Some, but not all, of Eliot's scenes where he imagines himself as being in a Hollywood movie are tributes to famous movies - in the opening titles a homage to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is scene. | |

Status Quo Is God: Although Eliot may get punished at the end of the episode, things always return to normal by the end of the episode, no matter how often Mimi gets her glasses damaged or Eliot gets injured. | |

Parody | |

Parody: "Igor" parodies Japanese tech when Eliot attacks the band in the titular episode, assuming them to be enemies, and the Imagine Spot shows Eliot as operating a robot of sorts. | |

| Eliot Kid / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: Eliot's imagination turning ordinary situations into Hollywood movies provides much of the comedy, and this is the source of the humor the show has. | |

Dreadful Musician: At the end of the episode "Igor" which focuses on a school "Battle of the Bands" type contest, a kid on an accordion is seen playing. It was done as a Shout-Out to "Weird Al" Yankovic's trademark instrument. | |

| Eliot Kid / int_e0aed924 | comment |
No Antagonist: Many episodes don't have a villain, the central conflict comes from Eliot's misunderstanding of the situation. Eliot's school teachers aren't even villainous, but the voice of reason at times. | |

Mr. Imagination | |
| Eliot Kid / int_e63270bc | comment |
Mr. Imagination: Eliot, the main protagonist has a high level of imagination. This trope is basically the main theme of the series, and is what causes (or worsens) all the problems in the show. Mimi and Kaytoo too, because they don't have any problem in believing, and even seeing, what Eliot says. | |

Snap Back | |
| Eliot Kid / int_ec8290b6 | comment |
Snap Back: By the end of each episode, no attempt has been made to get rid of the ramifications of Eliot's behavior. The Kid family's house, or his school get damaged now and then, but by the next episode are back to normal with no explanation. Thus, despite the fact family bedrooms or a classroom are damaged several times, they're back to normal by the next episode. This even applies to when Eliot gets injured, as shown in "Invasion of the Robot Clones". | |

Two-Teacher School: We only ever see Mr. Leon and Ms.Brigitte at Eliot's school, and no other teachers. For a large size town, this is unusual, unless it's a suburb with less than 10k people that Eliot lives in. | |

Comically Missing the Point: "The Big Webster" had Eliot assuming that the individual in the episode title was a man with a long beard who looked like God, not realizing it was actually a dictionary. | |
