History WesternAnimation / Sidekick

* ArchnemesIsDad: Trevor's grandfather is this for Mr. Troublemeyer. If the pictures on the wall are any indication, he definitely qualifies as [[AbusiveDad abusive]]. Plus he is constantly trying to turn Trevor evil despite Mr. Troublemeyer's continued efforts to get him to be a good boy.

* {{Tsundere}}: Vana towards Eric (only Tsun though).

* DependingOnTheWriter: Characters can either become charming and playful and can be friendly to each other (with only slight insults) and become jerks for the sake of humor sometimes. Eric gets the ''worst'' out of this. He's either CloserToEarth or tuns just as stupid as Trevor, or an even ''worse'' example, he either is shy or unaware of Kitty's crush on him, or treats her like an absolute {{Jerkass}} like if her crushing on him is the worst thing ever. Doesn't help that he has a crush on Vana, who's treats him like utter crap. Headdesk moment, anyone?

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Person]]: Vana, Eric or Kitty, DependingOnTheWriter.

* AlphaBitch: The most consistent trait of Vana, with Kitty acting like her GirlPosse.

* AlphaBithc: The most consistent trait of Vana, with Kitty acting like her GirlPosse.

** Eric is completely oblivious to the fact that Kitty has a crush on him. Or maybe subverted. He IS aware, he's not interested in her, but the writers do zig-zag whether he's aware or unaware of it. He's probably pretending, but it makes the "What?" RunningGag just more strange and awkward.

* IdiotHero: Eric; Trevor

* AdultChild: Professor Pampelmoose.

Can be seen on {{YTV}} in Canada and CartoonNetwork in the States.

* BadassMustache: Eric gets one of these in the episode ''"Moustache Squash"''.

** Even when Eric wins, he usually loses to reinforce what a loser he is.

* MissingMom: Trevor's mother

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Person]]: Vana, Eric or Kitty, [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on the writer]].

** Kitty in general. When a famous teen movie star appears she near-completely forgets about Eric during the duration of the star's visit and goes to much greater lengths for her stalker-dom.

* VagueAge: Averted by {{Word of God}}: Todd Kauffman (one of the creators) confirms them to be in grade 9 -- so they're 13-14 years old. [[{{Moe}} Their design makes them look younger.]]

* BettyAndVeronica: Kitty Ko as the Betty and Vana Glama as the Veronica. Only this Veronica doesn't want Archie.

** Played straight in "House of Helmut", followed by Trevor running into a closed door, knocking down the whole wall, and [[BeyondTheImpossible having the others comes out of one of the knocked down doors]].

* WorldGoneMad: Splitsborrow

----
This show contains examples of:
* AlphaBitch: Vera
** LovableAlphaBitch: Debatable.
* CantSpitItOut: Or, more accurately, spits it out all the time. Kitty has a not-so-secret crush on Eric, but whenever she gets a little to lovey-dovey, Eric asks "What?", with Kitty responding with her own "What?" If Eric is aware at all of Kitty's feelings, he doesn't show it and definitely does not return them.
* DisappearedDad: Part of the plot revolves around Maximan being missing, Eric's adoptive dad.
** Less relavent is that Vana's mother appeared in the family picnic, but no father.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids
* Extroverted Nerd: Eric. Either he's unaware Vera doesn't like him back or doesn't care and will do anything to get her to like.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: A rare non-romantic example. Trevor worships XOX, but seems to resent his father's overly nice demeanor. He's completely unaware they are the same person.
* MissingMom: Trevor's mother is never seen.
* {{Sidekick}}: It's in the name, after all.
* StatusQuoIsGod: The town is usually destroyed once an episode. ItGetsBetter by the next one.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Trevor.
* TotallyRadical: Trevor
