Evil Versus Evil | |
| The Secret Show / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: With both the Reptogators and the Imposters living underground (at distances of 60 and 90 miles, respectively), you knew they were gonna clash at some point; the moment comes when Victor sends the UZZ base crashing through both their lairs (see Chekhov's Gun above). | |

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage | |
| The Secret Show / int_19e9b150 | comment |
Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: At the beginning of "The Secret Thing", Victor and Anita are singing the show's theme song (as they usually do during the title sequence). It ends up being a plot point later on when Victor is confronted with two Anitas (the real one and an Imposter) and he uses it to determine the real one. In "The Thing That Goes Ping", at an island in the Bermuda Trapezoid, Anita and Doctor Doctor have a dance-off to win the trust of the island's leader. The band's choice of music is the theme tune. | |

Lampshade Hanging: Victor Volt figures out Doctor Doctor's plot to hypnotize the world with a song. He is ridiculed by his fellow agents, who tell him that only happens in cartoons. Learning that Doctor Doctor had gotten the idea from an old cartoon prompts Victor to exclaim I Knew It! Anita exclaiming "How did people escape before ventilation shafts?" In the episode where Doctor Doctor took over Sweet Little Grandma's bunny show for one of her plans, Sweet Little Granny comments that it happens to her once a week. | |

OnceAnEpisode | |
| The Secret Show / int_37499c8 | comment |
Once an Episode: Several bits of the episode always come back, and in increasingly amusing ways too: Evicting Sweet Little Granny from her time slot, usually by storming the set of the show. Victor and Anita always land the jump they start in the title sequence (usually onto their skybikes or from somewhere high up). Changed Daily's name being changed daily to something embarrassing. Changed Daily's exasperated sigh - "ohhhhhh", before said embarrassing name is revealed. Victor also does this in his stead at the end of one episode, when everyone else is partying in the briefing room after the World Anthem. Victor being asked if he's still alive by Prof. Professor, usually after suffering from a great accident: And when uttering the words "yes" and "no" turns U.Z.Z. agents into zombies, Victor just catches himself and angrily tells Professor Professor to never ask that again. (He obviously doesn't listen, though.) | |

Untranslated Catchphrase: The Imposters are constantly heard saying the phrase "Ding Ba-Doo!" though it's never revealed what these words mean. This was ultimately subverted when in 2017, co-creator Tony Collingwood revealed in the commentary for "Flick the Switch" that "Ding Ba-Doo!" means "Freeze the World!" | |

Constantly Changing Name: The chief of U.Z.Z has to have his name changed every day for security reasons. Being an animated comedy, his name is always something extremely silly and embarrassing, such as Princess Daintycakes, Auntie Norbett, or the truly ridiculous Flobba Wobba Bobba Bobba Bobba Bobba. | |

Bait-and-Switch: In The Secret Thing, U.Z.Z. Headquarters is put under Lockdown when Professor Professor finds out that someone is going to steal the Secret Thing. To get in, Victor has to show Ray, one of the agents, his pass. The joke is set up so that, because of his own incompetence, Victor doesn't have his pass and he has to trick Ray into letting him by (with one of the gags being convincing Ray that their (made up) children are best friends). Then the real Victor shows up with his pass, the first Victor being an Imposter, and calls Ray out on being so easily tricked. | |

| The Secret Show / int_a2f3e380 | comment |
World of Weirdness: Where to start? Let's see: The agents encounter aliens, killer toothbrushes, living wigs that can steal information from the human brain, a mother and son granted superpowers by their capes, sentient food, a giant brain that feeds on fear, just to name a few. Human beings don't own the Earth, but instead rent it from the planet's former occupants, the Ammonites. They need to pay rent once every 1,000 years or they'll be booted out. A pair of clown's trousers is granted incredible power once the stars align every 30 million years. These trousers are responsible for the disappearances of the dinosaurs and Atlantis. The Juseemee tribe is a race of creatures who exist alongside humanity. You can't see them due to the fact that they hide in your blind spot. Mermaids also exist, and they look human until exposed to sea water. Anita is at least partially one herself. | |

While Anita analyses it with a handheld device, Victor looks at it, smells it and tastes it while saying it's peppermint toothpaste, he chokes as if he's swallowed a deadly poison after Anita's device's results come back and she's reading off a list of dangerous-sounding ingredients. Turns out it is peppermint toothpaste. | |

MacGuffin: The aptly named Secret Thing. The Imposters want it, T.H.E.M wants it, and they only want it because of what it holds inside...which we never find out. | |

Meaningless Villain Victory | |
| The Secret Show / int_a7c91a10 | comment |
Meaningless Villain Victory: In the episode "Monument Racers", Doctor Doctor succeeds in stealing all of the world's money by attaching stolen 'weird little motor thingies' to the world's banks, allowing them to fly. However, possibly as a fail-safe, after twenty minutes of use, the motors go thermal and become 'unshtoppable', sending all of the banks to crash land on the moon. By the end of the episode, she still has all of the Earth's money, but absolutely nothing to do with it. | |

No-Sell: When humanity gets hooked on eating green visiting aliens due to them smelling and tasting like delicious dishes, Victor realises that he's unaffected by the smell due to being vegetarian. He then assembles a "Vegetarian Task Force" to go to the mother ship of the aliens... only to find out that most of his members are pescatarian, which means they smell fish-flavored dishes instead. | |

Are you still alive?", with Victor always shouting "Yes, I'm still alive!" back in frustration. Changed Daily's "CODE CUSTARD! CODE CUSTARD!" when something goes wrong. | |

I Ate WHAT?!: Anita eats an alien. Everyone else in the world (except vegetarians) ends up doing the same thing twice by the episode's end. During an investigation, Victor and Anita find a weird white paste-like substance. While Anita analyses it with a handheld device, Victor looks at it, smells it and tastes it while saying it's peppermint toothpaste, he chokes as if he's swallowed a deadly poison after Anita's device's results come back and she's reading off a list of dangerous-sounding ingredients.

Negative Continuity | |
| The Secret Show / int_bd8aa92a | comment |
Negative Continuity: Many episodes end with a seemingly irreversible outcome, such as Changed Daily’s brain being stuck in a mannequin, or all of humanity being sent to live on the moonnote The latter can be waved away as humanity meeting the conditions set by the Ammonites to be allowed to return. These never stick, and everything is back to normal once the next episode starts. | |

Weaksauce Weakness | |
| The Secret Show / int_c09dbbbb | comment |
Weaksauce Weakness: The Impostors thrive in the cold, but are allergic to penguins, which (as we all know) also thrive in the cold. Also, their helmets vibrate to a high C note, making them shatter and forcing the creepy crawly aliens that actually control the suits to retreat to their base 90 miles below the surface of the Earth. Which would explain why they live underground and try to freeze places where penguins are not a native species. | |

I Have Many Names: Changed Daily is known as such because his name is, well, "changed daily". Each new name tends to make people laugh at him. Here are but a few of his glorious names to be used over the series: Mummy Dearest. Pong Piffle Paws. Fluffy Tummy. Pineapple Chunks (this name was recorded in advance in the event Changed Daily was ever captured). Snortington Fairyshoes. Pooky Wooky. Spicy Onion Dip. Rumpelstiltskinny. Princess Daintycakes. Flobber Wobba Bobba Bobba Bobba Bobba (he's not particularly happy about that one). | |

| The Secret Show / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: You would think that Professor Professor would bother to test his experiments, rather than just wait for Victor to need them, but apparently not. Professor Professor always seems intent on screwing around with people, even when it would really be inappropriate (like in the middle of a life or death situation). He's implied to be even more of a jerkass in the future. In "Victor of the Future," when his future self is asked by present Victor what defeated the Floaty-Heads back when this was happening for him, he plays a guessing game and has Victor throw potatoes. | |
