Eric and Claire/Tropes

Eric and Claire is an American animated series created by Craig McCracken that aired on Cartoon Network since October 27, 2016.

Tropes

 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Due to the film's TV-PG rating, there is a lot of adult humor in the series.
 * In TBD, Eric nearly cussed out Emily, till he is stopped by Claire.
 * In Merry "Claire-Mas" and Have a Happy New Year!, during a flashback, we see Emily and Joshua yelling at each other across the street and Emily cusses Joshua out, though it was blocked by random cars passing by.
 * In The Brush, when Eric finally gets the brush back from Brittney and pushes her stuffed bunny off the bed, Brittney (who is still sleeping) grabs Eric, pulls him into her bed and starts hugging him while Eric tries to escape her arms. When Coco comes and sees this, she is shocked to see Eric and Brittney like that as if they were... having sex.
 * Generic Cuteness: Claire is usually the cute ghost.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Emily at times can act like a jerk towards others. However, she can have sympathy for others, especially her own big brother, Eric.
 * Brittney Hemperger can act like this too when it comes to Brandon and his friends, but at times, she is shown to actually care for them.
 * What Could Have Been: Originally, this series was aimed for a TV-Y7-FV rating according to a old ad and Craig himself.
 * Parody: Polly and Horsey, the show Emily usually watches, is a parody of Dora the Explorer. Though unlike Dora the Explorer, Polly and Horsey can have some pretty dark moments.
 * The show, Llamy the Llama, was supposedly a parody of Barney and Friends.
 * Human Disguise: Claire usually disguises herself as a living human when she's around someone that is not Eric, Emily (as of Emily and Claire) and Eric's friends.
 * Elizabeth does this too, except she reveals her true self just before she eats her victim.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Elizabeth falls into this category. In The "New" Friend, first, she is seen as someone who deeply cares for Emily. But later, she turns out to be a complete monster.
 * Swarm of Rats: In Rat Infestation, Eric, Claire, Emily and the McEdderson parents had a swarm of rats stampede in their house, forcing them to move out and had to not come back until the exterminator has taken care of them all along with the Hempergers and Michael. But things at the hotel get worse when it is revealed that the hotel they were staying at were filled with EVEN MORE RATS!
 * Fat Best Friend: Brandon Hemperger.

Funny

 * Emily can be a comedic relief at times.
 * Claire can also be that too.
 * Coco can be that at times as well.

Nightmare Fuel

 * The second part of Llamy's past, where David goes mad, and heads back to the studio to MURDER his boss and cast mates, including the replacement actor, with a metal bat. Though it doesn't show their bodies afterwards. Instead, the screen just goes black.
 * Elizabeth devouring Brandon, Michael and Claire can disturb some viewers while watching The New "Friend".
 * In Rat Infestation, Emily and Coco notice various skeletons in the hotel's basement, giving off a scary tone.

Heartwarming

 * Moments involving Claire and The Baby bonding with each other in Eric, Claire, and The Baby are seen as cute.
 * Coco licking Eric, Claire and other characters can be cute at times.

Tear-Jerker

 * The first part of Llamy's past, when David Poplawski was the original actor until the replacement actor shows up and everyone in the cast loved him, so much, that the boss FIRED David simply because he feels like he doesn't need him anymore.
 * Claire's sad past how she ended up losing her life.
