History Series / TheTroop

* Jake (Creator/NickPurcell): a massive comic book/superhero buff who is more than enthused that he has been enlisted into the world of... world-saving.

* FiveManBand
** TheHero: Jake
** TheLancer / TheChick: Hayley
** TheSmartGuy: Felix
** TheBigGuy /[[Main/SixthRanger Fourth Ranger]]: Kirby/Cadence

The show ran for two seasons and was canceled midway into the second, leaving seven unaired episodes (in the US at least). While other countries managed to get the full series run, all but three of the unaired episodes made their way to the Creator/{{Nicktoons}} network in the US. Currently, reruns of ''The Troop'' are being shown on Creator/{{Nicktoons}} alongside similar shows ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' and ''Series/SupahNinjas''.

* NoteToSelf: Gus once told the heroes they could erase his memory since he had hidden reminders. They instead sent him to a mental institution where his tales about monsters will be disregarded as delusions.

* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: The Vapor Monster in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ickie Doll" does this to a scarecrow and a product line of Ickie Dolls. The scarecrow donned a NightmareFace equipped with GlowingEyesOfDoom
and a SlasherSmile. The Ickie Dolls became obese and hunched with razor-sharp teeth.

* AwkwardFirstSleepover: Wwkward geek Felix shows up in drag to crash the slumber party thrown by Hayley because there's a monster they have to hunt, but he has such a good time and is actually accepted by the girls more in his "Felice" persona that he goes racing back to the party after they've defeated the monster.

* EvilMakesYouUgly: The Vapor Monster in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ickie Doll" does this to a scarecrow and a product line of Ickie Dolls. The scarecrow donned a NightmareFace that includes a SlasherSmile. The Ickie Dolls became obese, hunched, and have razor-sharp teeth.

Remember the days of Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} that featured ordinary kids getting thrust into wild and wacky supernatural situations with a healthy dose of comedy and danger? No? Well, apparently Nick decided that the kids of today needed a refresher course, hence the science fiction comedy show '''''The Troop'''''.

%% * AmbiguouslyGay: Pick one? Mostly Felix. (See also CampStraight)

%% * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Phoebe

* AwkwardFirstSleepover: Wwkward geek Felix shows up in drag to crash the slumber party thrown by Hayley because there's a monster they have to hunt, but he has such a good time, and is actually accepted by the girls more in his "Felice" persona that he goes racing back to the party after they've defeated the monster.
%% * BadassAdorable: Jake
* {{Big Damn Kiss}} In the episode the road trip, Jake and Hayley kissed. Sparks were literally flying
* {{Big Eater}}: Cadence. In each episode she has be featured in (so far, not many), there is at least one scene where she eats (off screen) quiet a large amount of food for someone her age. In the first episode she was in she eats 3 whole pizzas by herself. This is probably due to the fact that [[spoiler:[[HalfHumanHybrid she is really half monster]].]]
%% * BettyAndVeronica: Jake with Hayley (Betty) and Cadence (Veronica)
%% * ButtMonkey: Felix, Felix, Felix.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:Cadence and her brother Chino. Cadence is the Abel and Chino is the Cain.]]

%%"Itty Bitty Baby Dragon"
%% * CloudCuckoolander: Augustus's new sidekick Fredo.
%% * CoolOldGuy: Mr. Stockley

%% * DisguisedInDrag: Jake and Felix in "Pajama Game... of Death"

%% * FireForgedFriends: Hayley and Cadence

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Cadence is half Blood Trasher, as is her brother.]]

** A monster called a Danker is locked up in the HalloweenEpisode. According to the Troop monster guide, it has a razor sharp tongue, but there's nothing to suggest that it's ever used it or that represents a danger to society. When [[spoiler: the power grid goes down and the monsters escape, terrorizing the city]], the Danker stays it's cell and keeps Jake company. If anything it seems more annoying than threatening.

* IAmAHumanitarian: Blood Thrashers are meat-eaters in general, but aren't shy about making a human a meal. [[spoiler:Cadence has struggled not to be this, but her brother has no problem with it]].

%% * MisterSeahorse: Jake in "Snarked Up"
%% * MoodMotif: The twinkling glockenspiel of "wow he's suitable for the Troop!"
%% * MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Kirby once addresses a group as "Ladies, Gentlemen, Cadence"

* NonMaliciousMonster: [[spoiler: Cadence]], who is also a ReluctantMonster. At worst, simply petty and obnoxious, but [[spoiler:Cadence]] actively represses the worst traits Blood Thrashers have and just wants to live in peace.
* NoodleIncident: When Troop International showed up to arrest Cadence, Kirby commented all he knew about International Law was about having parties at boats and importing white tigers. While Kirby being a rich kid might explain him being no stranger to those parties and laws that affect them, one must wonder how he'd know about the tiger part.

%% * OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Jake

** [[spoiler: "Oh Brother" might as well be ''titled'' this! First, not only will Cadence ''not'' tell Jake she's half monster, she keeps it a secret that her ''maneating'' brother is hanging around, which would've saved her the trouble of being held at gunpoint by Hayley and being forced to tell Jake in that manner. While that's a bit understandable because she still loves her brother, Jake could've solved ''everything'' if he'd just told Cadence that her brother wasn't dead...and was unconscious in a crate ''right'' beside him!]]

%% * TwoGuysAndAGirl: Jake, Felix, and Hayley
%% * ProudToBeAGeek: Felix

** Felix's story: he offers a scenario where he himself was replaced. He portrays himself as a James Bond-esque spy, Hayley fawning all over him, Jake completely dependent on him, Stockley as a general, and the monster talking like a supervillain. Felix concedes he doesn't believe any of this happened or that he ever replaced; he was just annoyed with how pathetic he was portrayed in the other two stories.
** The final reveal is that [[spoiler:Jake was replaced]]. What really happened involves bits of all three stories: [[spoiler:the talking monster attacked Jake after distracting him with a trivial question, though he tries to save face by lying about getting in a few good punches]].

%% * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mr. Stockley
* SecretKeeper: Initially, Hayley for Cadence being [[spoiler:half-Blood Thrasher]].
* SequelHook: In "Itty Bitty Baby Dragon", Phoebe insists on helping lure Sam the dragon back to the portal where his mother will follow him. Stockley compliments her on her bravery, holds up his badge and says: "We'll see ''you'' in high school."

%% * ThreeAmigos
%% * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Cadence and Hayley.

%% * TwoGuysAndAGirl

%% * FreakyFridayFlip: Jake and Hayley in "Taming of the Cube"

* Jake: a massive comic book/superhero buff who is more than enthused that he has been enlisted into the world of...world saving.
* Felix: The resident brains of the group. Somewhat awkward in regards to social norms, he wants to reveal to anyone and everyone what the group does in order to boost his status, but due to a previously taken oath, reluctantly refrains.
* Hayley: The school's most popular beauty queen, good at everything and anything, but discovers her monster-battling abilites are less than subpar. Usually ends up being the voice of reason when she's not concerned about her popularity.
* Kirby Cadworth-Bankroft III: A rich kid who used to be part of the Tulsa Troop and transfers in after Felix leaves to go to Troop International.
* Mr. Stockley: The current school administrator/counselor who enlists the kids into the world of The Troop. Loves his job a little TOO much, which tends to disturb the trio at times.
* [[spoiler: Cadence Nash]]: Joins the group late in Season 2. She is half-monster and a {{Foil}} to Hayley

* AndStarring: The credit for John Marshall Jones, who plays Mr. Stockley.

%% * ClothingDamage: in "Lost in Translation" and "Itty Bitty Baby Dragon"

* HeroWorshipper: Jake to Lance in "Tentacle Face"; Hayley (and to a lesser extent, Felix) to Bianca Stonehouse in "The Substitute"; Keiko and Yuki to Felix in "Lost in Translation". Also, Kirby once wore a shirt with Felix's face and the inscription [[{{WWJD}} WWFD]] (What Would Felix Do?)

%% * PowerTrio: Jake, Felix, and Hayley

The show ran for two seasons and was cancelled midway into the second, leaving seven unaired episodes (in the US at least). While other countries managed to get the full series run, all but three of the unaired episodes made their way to the Creator/{{Nicktoons}} network in the US. Currently, reruns of The Troop are being shown on Creator/{{Nicktoons}} alongside similar shows ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' and ''Series/SupahNinjas''.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** In the beginning of "Lost In Translation", the trio tries to capture a Noctem, but fail. When it sprays them with acid like goo, their clothes melt and dissolve, making all three naked. When a naked Jake tries to turn around to see a naked Hayley, she then holds up her Troop lazer gun and says, "Any of you turn around, and you'll be evaporated". Very eye popping stuff for a kids show.
** The censors must've been asleep when the episode that featured Jake being bitten by a snark went through. A guy gets pregnant with a baby monster? Nick's done that [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius before]]. But, Mr. Stockley's line "You should've thought of that before you got snarked up"? Subtle as a flying mallet.
** The ep where Haley and Jake switch bodies
---> '''Claudia''': Let's go someplace else and ''get to know'' each other.
** Not that bad in itself but considering they're all at ''that'' age

%% * LaserGuidedAmnesia: Snarking.

* SequelHook: In "Itty Bitty Baby Dragon", Phoebe insists on helping lure Sam the dragon back to the portal where his mother will follow him. Stockley compliments her on her bravery, holds up his badge and says: "We'll see you in high school."

%% * ChristmasEpisode: "The Good, the Bad and the Ickie Doll."

%% * NonMaliciousMonster: [[spoiler: Cadence]], who is also a ReluctantMonster

* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler: "Oh Brother" might as well be ''titled'' this! First, not only will Cadence ''not'' tell Jake she's half monster, she keeps it a secret that her ''maneating'' brother is hanging around, which would've saved her the trouble of being held at gunpoint by Hayley and being forced to tell Jake in that manner.

%% * PutOnABus: Felix
