* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Marco and Marty both have a habit of making puns, especially when checking books out of the library. The poor librarian eventually snaps and starts screaming "HA HA HA" as loudly and angrily as he can.

-> ''Marco: "We could go to Mary Claire's, that greasy spoon with the- Oh! Oh! Marty! Spoon! Yes! SPOON!"''
-> ''Marty: "Marco, we just had a very emotional moment, and we may need to explore that before we--"''
-> ''Marco: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Dear. God. Marty.]] I meant the (ScavengerHunt) clue!"''
* Adorkable: The title characters definitely have their moments.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Marco. His last name ends with -witz and his mother is the embodiment of the JewishMother trope, but he himself doesn't give any indication as to his religious inclinations.
* AnimalStereotypes: They exist in this world, but they're largely untrue.
* ArtisticLicenseUniversityAdmissions: Marco's father won ten years of free tuition from a university dean in a game of [[AluminumChristmasTrees Egyptian Rat Screw]]. He's been spending his time accumulating doctorates in random subjects.
* BaitandSwitch: Marco can't sleep, so he wakes Marty up and pleads with him to do... something. Marty eventually agrees. Cut to the two of them... playing Trivial Pursuit.
* BigDamnKiss: In "Boundaries"
* BurgerFool: "Blob Boy." Marty used to work as a cashier there, but got fired because a customer didn't take his blob in time, causing it to fuse to his hands.
* BreakingtheFourthWall: At one point when the two are sitting around enjoying each other's company, Billy himself pops up to tell them to get their butts in gear and start solving puzzles. They respond by bricking the fourth wall back up.
* EmpathicEnvironment: Marco angrily accuses Marty of ''freezing'' him out for four years, and it immediately starts snowing.
* FourthWallObserver: Puzzle Rat the Puzzle Fink. He appears out of nowhere to ask the audience to help Marco and Marty solve clues. Marco and Marty are extremely puzzled by his comments and wonder how he floats in midair in front of the clues.
