"Trustworthy Tobey" contains the following tropes:
- Chirping Crickets: After Scoops awkwardly tells Becky that her mission to get back her missing library book from Tobey doesn't really involve him, she leaves him alone in the library, which is punctuated by a person coughing.
- Crying Wolf: Tobey's history of lying means that Miss Dewey chooses to take Becky's side when Becky claims that he's lying about returning the library book he borrowed from her, even though in this particular instance he actually did put it in her backpack like he said, and Becky herself lost said backpack in her messy room.
- Deadly Dodging: During its battle with WordGirl, Robo-Chaos uses its extreme speed to dodge out of the way of the charging superheroine, causing her to crash into bookcases.
- Face Palm: Bob has this reaction when Becky accidentally blabs about her spaceship hideout to Miss Dewey.
- Flashback: When Scoops asks Becky where she last saw her missing library book, she has one of her running into Tobey in the school hallway and him forcefully borrowing it from her.
- Flashback Effects: Becky's flashback to Tobey borrowing her library book starts and ends with the classic wavy dissolve.
- Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: Robo-Chaos points threateningly at WordGirl and Captain HuggyFace after WordGirl makes it angry by throwing it through the library roof.
- Less Embarrassing Term: Tobey makes his robots in a robotics laboratory, not a backyard shed.
- Lightning Bruiser: Robo-Chaos is able to keep up with WordGirl's superspeed and throws bookcases around like it's nothing. Tobey isn't kidding when he calls it his fastest robot yet.
- Mundane Utility: Tobey's latest creation, the Shipshape-a-Tron, was originally intended to just clean his bedroom for him.
- Name One: When Becky accuses Tobey of lying about returning her library book and Miss Dewey sides with her, Tobey tells Miss Dewey to name one time he failed to be trustworthy. She immediately names an instance where one of his robots broke one of the library's windows and he blamed a squirrel.
- Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: When Becky accompanies Tobey to the library so she can tell Miss Dewey about how he supposedly lost her book.Becky: Well, I guess we'll see who she thinks is more trustworthy!
Tobey: Indeed. We. Will. - Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: When Becky tells Tobey about how she can't check out the new Princess Triana collection until she has her missing library book back, he replies with a sarcastic "Yawn."
- Sheathe Your Sword: WordGirl "defeats" Robo-Chaos by turning back into Becky and telling Miss Dewey that Tobey did return her book like he said and that he didn't lie. Tobey, feeling sufficiently vindicated, willingly deactivates Robo-Chaos after this.
- Shout-Out: Tobey does the classic "It's alive!" from Frankenstein (1931) when activating his Shipshape-a-Tron.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Because of the fact that Becky accused Tobey of losing her book without any evidence, Miss Dewey assigns her the same punishment as she assigns Tobey: to return every single book in the wrecked library to their proper place.
"The Tooth Hurts" contains the following tropes:
- Brick Joke: As he's showing Becky around in the editing room, Scoops recalls the time they accidentally printed the school newspaper on pink paper. When Becky covers for him the next day, she stops Bob from making that same mistake again.
- Distinction Without a Difference: Violet tells the curious Becky that if Scoops wants them to know the secret reason he has to miss school, he'll tell them.Scoops: It's not a big secret. It's just not something I want to tell everybody. Which makes it a secret, I guess.
- Feud Episode: Becky gets into a fight with Scoops when he gets upset after she obliviously publishes an embarrassing secret of his in the newspaper, and he deliberately embarrasses her in the newspaper himself to get back at her. They make up after the Butcher helps them talk things through properly.
- Funny Background Event: While Scoops interviews WordGirl in the barber shop, Captain HuggyFace helps himself from the candy jar in the background.
- Tempting Fate: When Scoops confronts Becky about the fact that she printed a newspaper article about the fact that he still has his baby teeth, she asks him what the worst that could happen is. Cue one of his newspaper coworkers greeting him as "Scoops 'Baby Teeth' Ming".
- Thousand-Yard Stare: Played for laughs. Scoops adopts this expression when he flashes back to the incident where the school newspaper was accidentally printed on pink paper.
- Twisted Echo Cut: Non-dialogue example. Scoops screaming in frustration about the embarrassing news article Becky printed about him cuts to the Butcher screaming about his ruined haircut.
