History WesternAnimation / GravedaleHigh

* BigBeautifulWoman: Cleofatra is attractive enough to land a monster celebrity.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Duzer often says "Get a life!"

* CoolBigBro: Frankentyke's older brother Big Frankie.

%%* ExtremeOmnivore: Gill
* FantasticRacism: The monsters usually refer to non-monsters as "human dweebs." Though it could just be due to the fact that non-monsters have their own biases towards them.

* FishPeople: Gill is basically the Creature from the Black Lagoon as a SurferDude.

* [[FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire Friendly Bad Boy Neighbourhood Vampire]]: Vinnie.

* GreaserDelinquents: Vinnie, who is a monster version of [[{{Series/HappyDays}} Fonzie]].

* PerkyGoth: Blanche. Dressed in all black, but a romantic SouthernBelle
%%** Vinnie

%%* ValleyGirl: Duzer

Many of the 13 episodes featured some sort of problem caused by immature or stupid actions of a student and were usually solved by teamwork or some other [[AnAesop Aesop-heavy]] answer, making some of the episodes rather {{Anvilicious}}.

* AndADietCoke: A fat guy orders a lot of snacks with that at a movie theater that Duzer was/ working at in "The Dress-Up Mess-Up".

* TheBully: Nardo the Gargoyle, to Reggie at times.
* ButtMonkey: The fly kid. Most of the time, he says "[[Film/TheFly1958 Help me!]]" as he is getting attacked by someone.

* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Greaser Vampires Love Their Mamas]]: In "Fear of Flying", Vinnie says to his psychiatrist (a [[{{Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde}} Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]] {{Expy}} who works as a medical doctor) that he's "batty" over his mother.

* FurAgainstFang: Averted with Vinnie and Reggie, who are best friends.

* IronicFear: [[spoiler:After he was struck by lightning while flying, Vinnie developed a fear of heights]].

* ShoutOut: Several, but the one that stands out is a fly monster kid getting taken by [[Film/{{Them}} Giant Ants]] while shouting "[[Film/TheFly1958 Help meeee! Help meeeee!]]

%%* WackyHomeroom

* {{Earworm}}: The theme song, and some background music.

%%* SurferDude: Gill

%%* CelebrityToons

* InkSuitActor: Max is basically Rick, but with [[HairColorDissonance red hair]].

* BeachEpisode: "Do The Rad Thing". The kids end up in their suits in quite a few other episodes too, though.

* MirrorCrackingUgly: Duzer manages to do this since she is a Gorgon, but [[CuteMonsterGirl to the audience, she isn't drawn to look really ugly aesthetically]].

%%* AlphaBitch: Duzer

* BigEater: Gill, especially if [[TrademarkFavoriteFood pizza]] is involved.
%%** Cleofatra
* BrattyHalfPint: Frankentyke

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Reggie

%%* SouthernBelle: Blanche

%%* TokenHuman: Max
%%* TrueCompanions

* GorgeousGorgon: Duzer, who might crack mirrors but is otherwise depicted as being quite attractive. In "Cleo's Pen Pal" Cleofatra even sends a picture of Duzer to her celebrity crush instead of one of herself, figuring it'll make a better impression.

* SeductiveMummy: Averted with Cleofatra: she's actually a fatty nerdy girl, unlike other female students like Blanch (an AttractiveZombie) and Durze (a GorgeousGorgon). Yet in one episode Cleo does manage to seduce a [[Series/BeautyAndTheBeast1987 Vincent-like]] monster celebrity.

* AttractiveZombie: Blanche, the {{Goth}} SouthernBelle Zombie student of ''WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh'', is [[http://gravedalehigh.wikia.com/wiki/Blanche?file=Blanche.jpg clearly an example]]. Downplayed, since she retains some of the trademark "monster zombie" traits (such as green skin).

His class includes a [[MonsterMash greaser vampire, nerdy werewolf, fat mummy, surfer fishboy, valley girl gorgon]] and other stereotypical teenager versions (and adult, for the teachers) of [[Film/HammerHorror classic horror movie monsters]].

%%* GorgeousGorgon: Duzer

This short-lived Creator/HannaBarbera cartoon premiered in 1990 on Creator/{{NBC}}, with the full title of ''Rick Moranis in Gravedale High'', featuring teacher Max Schneider (as the title suggests, [[InkSuitActor played]] by Creator/RickMoranis) as the sole human teacher in an AllGhoulsSchool, teaching a class of misfit students who, according to the headmistress, otherwise would have been booted out from the school (despite none of them showing any outrageously bad or different behavior, aside being maybe lazy and distracted).

* BeachEpisode: "Do The Rad Thing". The kids end up in their suits in quite a few episodes, though.

* SoapWithinAShow: "Trudy and the Beast", a parody of ''Series/BeautyAndTheBeast1987''. Somewhat amusingly the star's shown to be a heartthrob among both monster and human girls, considering [[Film/{{Hellboy}} some of the things]] that Creator/RonPerlman's gotten up to since then.

%%* AllGhoulsSchool

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Frankentyke thinks his dad is one, and builds a substitute father in his place. [[spoiler: It turns out this is because Frankentyke's "dad" is the mad scientist who made him, and a human, who aren't looked on too highly in the monster community.]]

* BeachEpisode: "Do The Rad Thing"

** Hey yo, Vinnie has one!

* NamesTheSame: Max Schneider was also the name of the human protagonist of ''Film/MyPetMonster''.

* InvisibleStreaker: Apparently, Sid is not wearing any pants.

This short-lived HannaBarbera cartoon premiered in 1990 on Creator/{{NBC}}, with the full title of ''Rick Moranis in Gravedale High'', featuring teacher Max Schneider (as the title suggests, [[InkSuitActor played]] by Creator/RickMoranis) as the sole human teacher in an AllGhoulsSchool, teaching a class of misfit students who, according to the headmistress, otherwise would have been booted out from the school (despite none of them showing any outrageously bad or different behavior, aside being maybe lazy and distracted).

* OffModel: This is a HannaBarbera series from the 80's and 90's after all. And especially bad in "Frankenjockey", where Hoover the horse switches between white (his actual color) and brown.

His class includes a [[MonsterMash greaser vampire, nerdy werewolf, fat mummy, surfer fishboy, valley girl gorgon]] and other stereotypical teenager versions (and adult, for the teachers) of [[HammerHorror classic horror movie monsters]].
