Dean and Daisy/Tropes

* **Black Bead Eyes**:
	+ Just like 99% of Kantasy shows, all of the humans have these. Subverted with the rodents, however.
* **Butt-Monkey**:
	+ Daisy is usually never listened to and constantly gets treated like dirt, even if she is sick.
	+ Alliterat is often seen as a joke, and suffers lots of comical abuse.
* **Catchphrase**:
	+ *"It's time to talk about today's EX-TRE-MELY E-VIL scheme!"* - Alliterat, at the beginning of most B-plots.
* **Cloudcuckoolander**:
	+ Both Alliterat and Puppet are this. It makes you wonder how the former got to power in the first place.
* **Cool and Unusual Punishment**:
	+ In "Snarky's Scheme", Alliterat punishes Snarky at the end of the episode by making him sit on a naughty chair (how long for is not specified).
* **Dramedy**:
	+ The show has both its comical and dramatic moments.
* **Enemy Mine**:
	+ Snarky sometimes reluctantly teams up with the children.
* **Even Evil Has Standards**:
	+ Alliterat finds Snarky kidnapping Daisy in "Snarky's Scheme" to be *"IN-EX-CU-SA-BLY E-VIL"*.
* **Harmless Villain**:
	+ Alliterat is not capable of doing anything evil - all of his plans are petty things which can either be ignored, or are simply a nuisance.
* **Intergenerational Friendship**:
	+ Sort of. Daisy is seven years old, whilst Dean is ten years old. Doesn't stop them from being best (and usually only) friends.
* **Not-So-Harmless Villain**:
	+ Going into the series blind, you'd expect Snarky to be a dumb lackey of Alliterat, but he is capable of doing some wicked things, some of which even his boss finds appalling.
* **Only Sane Man**:
	+ Dean and Daisy are pretty much the only humans on the show who aren't mindless sheep or useless at everything they do.
	+ Snarky is the only one of the rodents who can be taken seriously.
* **Parental Neglect**:
	+ Both Daisy and Dean suffer this badly.
* **Poke the Poodle**:
	+ Even on his best days, this is all Alliterat does. After all, there is absolutely nothing as evil as... gluing coins to the floor.
* **Rebellious Spirit**:
	+ Both of the main characters are this, but especially Daisy.
* **Seventeen-Minute Show**:
	+ Episodes last approximately seventeen minutes.
* **Token Evil Teammate**:
	+ Snarky is the only one of the rodents who is actually evil.
* **Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey**:
	+ Subverted with Alliterat and Snarky - Alliterat is the laughable one, and Snarky is the nasty one.
* **World of Jerka\*\***:
	+ Aside from Dean, Daisy, Alliterat and Puppet, pretty much everybody on the show is either selfish, conceited, amoral, motivated by money or a sheep to the government. Dean especially notices this, and complains about it a lot.

## Your Mileage May Vary

* **Accidental Innuendo**:
	+ *"Prepare to be grabbed!"* - Snarky, when he notices Daisy spying on him.
* **Cliché Storm**:
	+ Some reviews for the series argue that it features a lot of clichés present in previous Kantasy series. Such as...
		- A gender-equal selection of protagonists.
		- Kids being smarter than the adults.
		- No-nonsense heroes, silly villains.
		- Randomly shoehorned fantasy elements.
		- Randomly shoehorned edgy moments.
		- Trying to appeal to all and every type of children.
* **Ensemble Dark Horse**:
	+ Alliterat and his minions have found themselves quite a fanbase, and some people online have admitted that they watch the show solely because of them, and think they deserve their own spin-off series.
* **Memetic Mutation**:
	+ Some of Alliterat's quotes are fairly YouTube Poop-suitable.
* **What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?**:
	+ Despite airing on preschool channels in most countries, the show can be fairly depressing, even if Alliterat's antics lighten up the mood.
