* BigDamnMovie: Mostly averted with the movie: it is a mundane story about Titeuf wanting to declare his love for Nadia, but several moments are played as "epic" which is mostly in Titeuf's head.

* RatedGForGangsta: The comic was originally infamous/famous for showing kids in vulgar, shocking and very politically incorrect situations, which is what made its popularity. However, as time went on, its growing popularity ironically led it to become progressively more family-friendly, until its sanitized cartoon adaptations made it barely edgier than your average kid show.

* TookALevelInJerkass: While in first comics and first season of the TV show Nadia wasn't always good to Titeuf, she was a lot nicer too him on several occasions. In the newest season of the TV serie, she's a pure jerk who spends her time hurting Titeuf, sometimes for [[DisproportionateRetribution very minor reasons]] Maybe she was good to him at least 3 times, but that's all. Looks like an unfortunately case of DerailingLoveInterests in favor of Ramatou.

One of the most popular FrancoBelgianComics, ''Titeuf'', created in 1992 by the Swiss cartoonist Philippe Chappuis, aka ''Zep'' (as in Music/LedZeppelin), tells the everyday life of the 8-year-old Titeuf and his buddies, specifically on their... confused views regarding the adults and the world. It frequently plays with the ChildrenAreInnocent trope: The kids are far more aware of sex, drugs and the like than the adults would believe, but almost always by ComicallyMissingThePoint, especially Titeuf himself. A translated version appeared for a short while in ComicBook/TheDandy.
