Line 23:
** Becky Botsford, Bampy Botsford, Beatrice Bixby, Seymour Smooth, and Shelley Smalls are all examples of this.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: The two main romances of the show both fit: [[Dating Catwoman|Tobey crushes on WordGirl]], who doesn't like him, while ''she'' crushes on Scoops, who [[Oblivious to Love|doesn't seem to notice]].
* [[All-Star Cast]]: See [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] below.
* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: Violet Heaslip, she has tenuous grasp on reality around her.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Justified for WordGirl, since that's what the creator of the show was really shooting for. Interestingly enough, her adoptive family are a -different shade- of ambiguous brown.
Line 83:
* [[City of Adventure]]
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Occasionally lampshaded.
** In "WordGirl Makes a Mistake," Becky tells both Mr. Botsford and T.J. her [[Super
* [[Clear My Name]]: WordGirl has had to do this in multiple episodes, notably in "The Wrong Side Of The Law".
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: The two part stories "The Wrong Side of the Law, "WordGirl Makes a Mistake" and "A Better Mousetrap." It was one of the featured words in the second half of "A Better Mousetrap," with WordGirl providing the definition.
Line 167:
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Victoria Best
** Also Violet and Becky, when they were very young.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Nearly every character is played by a famous actor/comedian. Chris Parnell of [[SNL]] fame, H. Jon Benjamin from [[Home Movies]], Patton Oswalt from Ratatouille, John C. McGinley...[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1128052/fullcredits#cast just check out the cast page on IMDB].
** Doctor Two-Brains is [[Tom Kenny]] aka [[Spongebob SquarePants]]
* [[Hair Reboot]]: Seen in "Becky's Birthday."
Line 173:
* [[Happily Married]]: The Botsfords are really the only example of this one the show, but they're a perfect example of it. They contrast with all the other seemingly single parents on the show (The Butcher's father, Great Granny May, supposedly Granny May herself since she has grandchildren, Chuck and Brent's mother, Mrs. Heaslip, Clair MacCallister, possibly Eileen's mom is a single parent as a dad has never been mentioned, etc.). Even the two other married couples, the Mings and the Bests, aren't shown having any measurable degree of chemistry between them.
* [[Hiccup Hijinks]]: "Word (Hicc) Up!," with Mr. Botsford being the one to come up with all the crazy cures. Amusingly, it's one of the villains (Chuck the Evil-Sandwich-Making Guy) who comes up with the solution by telling her to simply hold her breath... only for Mr. Botsford to ruin it by scaring her into starting to hiccup again.
* [[High
* [[Human Aliens]]: All the way.
* [[Hurl It Into the Sun]]: How WordGirl {{spoiler|destroys Mr. Big's Lexonite machine at the end of "[[Word Girl]] makes a Mistake."}}
Line 282:
* [[Samaritan Syndrome]]: Causes Becky's frustration in "A World without WordGirl". It really doesn't help that Bob and the narrator are there to railroad her into saving the day.
* [[Sampling]]: In one episode, a BGM track samples the drums from [[Daft Punk (Music)|Daft Punk's]] Da Funk.
* [[Self
* [[Self Fanservice]]: A few minute tour of the WordGirl fanart on deviantART is enough to notice that some artists portray her as [[Most Common Superpower|drastically enhanced]].
** Two brains has a bit of this kinda art as well.
Line 290:
* [[Sexy Secretary]]: Leslie.
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: '''Beatrice Bixby''' : ''"He's just lucky that my half-hour lunch break is only thirty minutes long."''
* [[Shout
** Don't forget the two episodes titles that are based on Beatles Songs like "Book ends" and "Banned on the run".
*** The following quote from "Kids Action News" may also ring a bell for Wrestling fans and San Diego residents alike
Line 337:
** Quite a few episodes have some type of this.
* [[Ultimate Authority Mayor]]
* [[Up, Up, and Away]]: WordGirl's standard flight pose.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: "That is totally WHAMMER!" "Are you whammin' to what the Whammer is whammin'?" "Let's wham this thing!"
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Mr. Big disguises himself as an elderly woman in episodes "Big Business" and "WordGirl Makes a Mistake".
Line 345:
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: Featured in, "Mousezilla". Tobey and Dr. Two Brains build a giant robotic mouse. Although it definitely starts out well, the team-up breaks down when they argue about what they should do the trapped WordGirl.
** Also in "Too Loud Crew".
** In "The Fill-In," The Butcher shows up as a temporary fill-in for Dr. Two Brains's henchman, Charlie. Dr. Two Brains tells him that he's too good to be just a temporary fill-in and tries to insist on one of these instead, but The Butcher turns him down flat because "[[Dangerously Genre Savvy|they never work]]" and even tells him "[[
** Chuck teamed up with Nocan in "Nocan the Ingredient Finding Guy" and it worked out about as well as his team-ups with the Whammer.
** In the first issue of the comic book tie in, five of Wordgirl's villains form "The Coalition of Malice."
