Tropes In The True Story of Strawberry Shortcake

All Tropes In The True Story of Strawberry Shortcake

A Pig Named "Porkchop"

 * The Piglet brothers are named Pork, Ham, and Bacon.

A Wild Rapper Appears!

 * Fried Chicken mostly does this in a few of the songs if Orange Blossom is a core vocalist in the song. This happens during:
 * Friendship Grows and A Berry Happy Birthday in A Berry Happy First Birthday
 * Jammin in Spring for Strawberry Shortcake
 * Everyone's A Star in Hooray for Berrywood
 * He also hurls insults at the villains this way during Glorious as Strawberryland in Around the Berry Big World
 * In the episode "Playing to Beat the Band", the song "Hope You Like It" is mostly pop, except for the random rap portions mainly provided by Huckleberry. Fry also takes this advantage.

Accent Adaptation

 * Dobbin, like all the other named animals (pets, Fillies, Gliders, etc) is able to speak. In The True Story, he speaks in a West Country English accent. His niece develops this same accent as she gets older.

Accidental Hand-Hold

 * Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin in Piece of Cake.

Accidental Kiss

 * In The Legend of Sherry Bobbleberry, after the song "Ev'rything I Touch", Sherry trips over another vine and ends up locking lips with Margalo B. Berryglow! Margalo doesn't mind, and even returns the kiss.
 * Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler in The Friendship Club, though neither seem to mind. In fact, they even enjoy it!
 * Two during the bonus music video version of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"
 * One between Annie Oatmeal and the Power Ent (neither mind of course).
 * Another between Rambo and Sarah.

Actor Allusion

 * You can figure this out with an Angry Animal.

Actually Pretty Funny

 * Lemon Meringue and Banana Candy find Cranberry Clover's joke funny in Back In The Saddle.

Adaptation Expansion

 * Many episodes have been expanded due to lore and additional content.

Adaptational Karma

 * In The Legend of Sherry Bobbleberry, after she makes the mistake of interrupting Blueberry Muffin, a fuming Cranberry Clover tells Periwinkle off, saying the Queen would not be happy with her rudeness and impatience. He then adds that Sherry's confidence has been shattered thanks to being chastised and ridiculed, and that if the Berry Fairy Fields flood, it'll be Periwinkle's fault for refusing to listen to her.
 * The beginning of the Sweet Dreams Movie revealed that Licorice Whip was caught and exiled to Porcupine Peak after the events of Super Berry Bros. 2
 * In Dancing in Disguise, Peppermint Fizz, in an effort to distract them so Strawberry and her friends can steal back the crop, fights Lord Purple, Licorice Whip, and the Purple Pieman (with a little help from Blueberry Muffin and Cranberry Clover).
 * Speaking of villains being exiled to Porcupine Peak, this happens after every villain defeat prior to Pie Man's Fury
 * Self-inflicted example. The Brambleberry Fairy is quite depressed seeing the results of her malevolent work and regrets what she did.

Adaptational Name Change

 * "Sleeping Beauty":
 * The Sleeping Beauty is called "Princess Strawberry Rose", probably because she and Strawberry Shortcake herself look similar.
 * The Prince is called "Prince Huckleberry".
 * Maleficent the fairy is called the "Brambleberry Fairy".
 * "Berry Brick Road": The Munchkins are renamed the "Berrykins", taking their new name from a combination of their old one and "berry"

Adaptational Nice Guy/Gal

 * Ginger Snap, Orange Blossom, and Blueberry Muffin accidentally apply this to Cinderella's wicked step-family, until Angel Cake defies it.
 * Due to Lemon Meringue falling in love with Lucas "Leavenworth" Cuke in Back in the Saddle, she's more hesitant about giving Plum Puddin' a hard time for her clumsiness, and even immediately feels remorseful for saying rude things behind her back.

Adaptational Sympathy

 * In Introducing Cranberry Clover, upon hearing Peppermint Fizz had cheated in the pet competition in Peppermint's Pet Peeve, Cranberry Clover asks her why she did so, causing her to tearfully confess that she's afraid Strawberry and the others will reject and exclude her, and that she doesn't fit in. He sympathetically assures her that they won't, and that she does fit in. He also tells her he's happy to be one of her first friends.

Adapted Out

 * In the text version of "Sleeping Beauty", the Berry Fairies consisted of Gingerberry Fairy (Ginger Snap), Angelberry Fairy (Angel Cake), Orangeberry Fairy (Orange Blossom), Rainbowberry Fairy (Rainbow Sherbet) and Appleberry Fairy (Apple Dumplin'). The bounty hunter (an original character for the True Story) is named Super Soda (Peppermint Fizz).
 * In the episode version:
 * Angelberry Fairy is absent due to Angel portraying the Brambleberry Fairy instead of Blueberry Muffin (who portrays the Duchess of Hazzard in The True Story); because of this, her role as a Berry Fairy is replaced with new character Tangerinaberry Fairy (Tangerina Torta).
 * Peppermint portrays the prime minister's supervisor, while the bounty hunter is named Super Syrup, portrayed by Cranberry Milkshake.

Affectionate Nickname

 * Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin have these for each other: his nickname for her is True Blue, and her nickname for him is Lucky.
 * Not as affectionate, but Hot Chocolate's nickname for Frosty Puff is "Puffy", which is how he can distinguish between her and Frosty the Snowman.

After-Action Healing Drama

 * Medical officials tend to the injured Strawberrylanders after the war in Around the Berry Big World.

All Of The Other Reindeer

 * Randolph is brutally discriminated by everyone (except his parents and love interest Halo) for not just the red glow in his body, but also for not being in league with the Nazis.

 * Angel Cake, despite being the daughter of Jesus Christ, develops into this in the final season and takes a huge level in jerkass to the point where she has a split personality called Devil Crud.
 * Dobbin's niece is the one who begins the excessive teasing against Randolph.
 * Lime Light is introduced as an egotistical movie star.
 * In "Back in the Saddle", Lemon Meringue takes on the role as the snooty popular one at the dude ranch, though Banana Candy takes over when Lemon falls for Lucas "Leavenworth" Cuke.

Alternate Universe

 * Strawberryland is described as a better Earth:
 * Many horrible nations like North Korea, the USSR, and Nazi Germany never formed.
 * Communism and Socialism never existed.
 * Slave trades never happened.
 * Christianity is the only religion, with no knowledge of other religions on the planet (the reasons behind this are rather personal).
 * The world of Strawberryland is one country.
 * God is always watching over us.
 * Children and teens are great at defending themselves.
 * Drugs such as tobacco, nicotine, marijuana and nicotine are all banned.
 * It's a lot easier to settle conflict than it is here.
 * Everyone in Strawberryland is more patriotic and they LOVE their flag and anthem!
 * They grow better and more advanced every single day!
 * The king and queen are powerful and intelligent figureheads!

Always Accurate Attack

 * Apart from missing Cranberry Clover, Devil Crud never misses her hits on anyone.

Always Chaotic Evil

 * Every main villain in the series.

Ambiguously Brown

 * Ginger Snap has medium-brown skin, but her ethnicity is unknown.

And I Must Scream

 * The Tin Woodsgirl, just like the original, gets immobilized. Fortunately, Strawberry Shortcake lubricates her joints with the can of oil that she found nearby, freeing her from her immobilized state.

And Mission Control Rejoiced

 * In Strawberry's Big Journey, when Strawberry's brakes burn out, mission control, consisting of her mom Fragaria, dad Redberry, and God's angels begin panicking, things are looking like they could end horrible when:
 * (The car then finally stops safely. We cut back to the skies of heaven where Fragaria, Redberry, God, and all the angels and spirits rejoice.)
 * Redberry: YEAH! SHE’S DONE IT! (Pulls Fragaria into a hug) You've done us proud Strawberry!
 * Fragaria: I’m so happy for her! She knew what to do and her friends are alright! It almost felt like the first time that happened!

And There Was Much Rejoicing

 * In Revolution, The Gliders and other residents of Porcupine Peak find Lord Purple's body and celebrate the death of their oppressor in spite of Strawberry and Huck defeating The Purple Pie Man and Sour Grapes I AGAIN.
 * (As it begins to rain, the Gliders and their relatives, along with every other human and animal on Porcupine Peak gather, having heard Lord Purple's skull being crushed.)
 * Rocket's daughter: What's going on Dad?
 * Rocket: I have no idea.
 * Dreggs: (Slithers onto Rocket.) It would be a shame to not find out. (Dobbin and Nixon emerge from the remains of Pie Tin Palace)
 * Dobbin's niece: (Examining the blood on her uncle and Nixon's hoof) Um, Uncle Dobbin! Nixon! Is that blood on your hooves?
 * Dobbin: Yeah, it is. Notice anything about that blood. Our goal was to destroy Lord Purple once and for all. (His niece trots over to the ruins and realizes what happened before turning to the others in excitement.)
 * Dobbin's niece: WE'VE DONE IT! (A cheer of victory and joy erupts from the rest.)

Anger Override

 * Whenever Cranberry Clover gets mad, only his girlfriend Blueberry Muffin can calm him down.
 * When it’s Angel Cake who’s upset, it’s either her mother (Mrs. Isa Christ), her father (Jesus), or her grandfather (God) who can bring her back to her angelic state.
 * In The Good Lord's Salvation, Angel Cake's mood swings go to a bare minimum after she meets Unleavened Flatbread.

Animal Stampede

 * There is a stampede of porcupines in "How it All Began" that baby Strawberry gets stuck in. Luckily, Gruffy responds instantly and rescues her.
 * The Gliders in the Sweet Dreams Movie as they damage the villains' equipment before the final battle. Angel Cake's song is what makes the machines explode.
 * The war in "Around the Berry Big World" has countless stampedes, the salt on the wound is the surviving porcupines fleeing, only to be kidnapped by police and shipped back to Porcupine Peak.
 * In "Down On The Farm", The Pieman and Sour Grapes I are attacked by Caramel Corn's sheep twice: First time before the fair starts, and again during the musical number. The injuries secure their defeat and lead to Randolph's humiliation.

Annoying Younger Sibling

Anywhere But Their Lips

 * Most of the times that Strawberry kisses Huck, she does it on the cheek.
 * A Berry Happy First Birthday: First time as a thanks for his help before she leaves (which seals their relationship), and the second time before "Strawberry Girl in A Strawberry World"
 * Berry Merry Christmas: First time under the mistletoe, second time when Huck says that Christmas is about love, third time after Huck receives his snowballs from Strawberry.
 * Spring for Strawberry Shortcake: She gives one before she heads out.
 * Get Well Adventure: First time before Huck leaves the house. Second time when he returns.
 * Queen For A Day: She kisses him near the end to thank him for securing her crown (and the world). This gives Cranberry Clover the idea to crown Huck the Berry Blossom Festival King, which the Berry Angels immediately accept.
 * When The Rivers Run Red: She gives him one to thank him for helping her out when "it" happens.
 * It Takes Talent: She gives one after accepting to rejoin the talent show.
 * Playing to Beat the Band: She gives him one as a thanks for realizing his wrongdoings after Peppermint finally masters the trumpet and agrees to join Strawberry Jam's performance at the festival. She kisses him again near the end of the episode.

Appeal to Flattery

 * Foreman Poke in Red Flag:
 * Nixon: I had a feeling this was gonna happen, I just knew things were gonna go south in a matter of moments.
 * Foreman Poke: I'm sorry Nixon, but I guess your son won't make the cut, and it's a real pity. He ran like there was no tomorrow.
 * Lemon Meringue in Back In The Saddle:
 * Lemon Meringue: I know you're doing your best, Plum, but I'm afraid that's not the right look for Thunder!
 * Lucas "Leavenworth" Cuke: But that outfit is the right look for you, Miss Meringue!
 * Lemon Meringue (blushes): Aww, shucks!

Arc Words

 * The phrase, "Growing/Getting better everyday/all the time." could be seen as this.

Artistic License – Physics

 * Two instances in "Angel Cake in the Outfield":
 * Despite her apparent distance from them following her outburst, Angel Cake still hears her friends.
 * Afterwards, the kids somehow manage to send their ball bouncing into the river despite being far from it.


 * In "A Weeping Angel" Despite Angel Cake burying her face in her pillow during her meltdown after realizing what she did while she was Devil Crud, rivers of tears spill out onto the floor.

As The Good Book Says...

 * Angel Cake constantly quotes the Bible, such as in The Play's The Thing:
 * Angel Cake: I agree, Strawberry! It's like what John 15:12 says, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence

 * Even after his passing near the end of How It All Began, Gruffy, like Strawberry's parents, and Jesus and Mrs Christ are able to communicate to the others.

Aside Glance

 * Cranberry Clover does this after seeing how Peppermint Fizz taunts the defeated villains in The Sweet Dreams Movie.

Ask a Stupid Question

 * In a fourth wall break in "Introducing Cranberry Clover", the narrator does a double take, and apparently she didn't get the memo that the titular debut was going to become Peppermint's honorary younger brother. When she finds out, this ensues.
 * Narrator: And I guess they could be considered siblings- wait a minute you guys, siblings? (With the team laughing in the background) Since when were these two siblings?! It doesn't say it anywhere! You never told me they were gonna be siblings! (The team keeps laughing) Are they blood siblings or not?! Speak up!!


 * In "Horse of a Different Color," when Honey Pie Pony encounters the kids trapped in the middle of a river:
 * Honey Pie: My word! What are you all doing out there?
 * Huck: Not much.
 * Honey Pie: Don't go anywhere!
 * Huck: We weren't planning on it!
 * Fry: Do you even think we gon' go somewhere dude? Not in a situation like this!


 * Two instances in "The Play's The Thing". The first one is when the stepmother (portrayed by Angel Cake) interrogates the Nature Caller.
 * Stepmother: Not sure if you know who I am, but I'm about to marry Prince Charming and rule the world.
 * Nature Caller: Wow! Uh, that's great...
 * Stepmother: But there's one problem. Two boys and a girl who I think is an adventure seeking duchess, are currently on the prowl. Apparently they're after my scullery stepdaughter Strawberella. You know Strawberella, but these two boys, do you know them?!
 * Nature Caller: Do you think I'd happen know anyone who would go on an adventure to save a distressed girl from some wicked beast like you!? I actually don't.
 * Stepmother: So you do know them! Does the duchess find one of them attractive?!
 * Nature Caller: (worried) They would if they found her cute! (The Stepmother steps the Nature Caller's leg, making her scream out in pain.)


 * The second instance after the song "Angels":
 * Angel Cake: (Turns towards Jesus) Dad?
 * Jesus: Yes Angel?
 * Angel Cake: (Gets off the piano) Did you hear about the ball later this week?
 * Jesus: I'm aware, and I think you got the highest chance with Prince Charming.
 * Angel Cake: (Blushing before turning smug) No, I'm planning to use the throne to the advantage. I'm the richest, most feared girl in town.
 * Jesus: Okay... oh and also, I heard rumors that something is up with you. There's been a lot of... nutty gatherings, and there might be word about Strawberrella... probably taking the throne.
 * Angel Cake: I'm not worried, I can assure you that no filthy maid would ever have the chance.
 * Jesus: Alright, you're on.

Attack Reflector

 * In "Around the Berry Big World", Pink Glaze Donut reflects a porcupine's quill attack during the final ambush.
 * "Berry Brick Road" has this where the Wicked Witch of the West fires a spell at the heroes, but the Scarecrow gets an idea where the Tin Woodsgirl reflects the spell with her own body. It works, and Taken for Granite ensues where the Wicked Witch and her flying monkey get trapped in stone.

Audience Participation Song

 * Everytime Glorious as Strawberryland or Heifer of Strawberryland is sung, everyone gets in on the action.

Babysitting Episode

 * In their dream in Baby Takes The Cake, Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler have to look after the kids-turned-babies, and successfully do so, to the point that they resemble a married couple.

Bad Boss

 * The Wicked Witch of the West mistreats the Berrykins in her first appearance in Berry Brick Road.
 * The animals of Porcupine Peak overthrow Lord Purple and the other villains.

Badass Princess

 * Even though Angel Cake's brave warrior personality is called the Crusader Princess, she is not an actual princess.

Bait-and-Switch Comparison

 * In Lights...Camera, after finding Captain Cruller's treasure, Second Mate Cranberry says this to his soulmate Second Mate Blueberry in The Wellerman:
 * I've two treasures: one be berry valuable to me, and the other filled with gold!

Band Episode

 * It Takes Talent

Beach Episode

 * The Beachside, The Mystery of Seaberry Shore, The Legend of The Lost Treasure, Tropical Treasure Hunt, and the book Return To Seaberry Shore.

Beach Kiss

 * Coco Calypso and Seaberry Delight in The Mystery of Seaberry Shore, Return to Seaberry Shore, and Tropical Treasure Hunt.

Beautiful Blue Eyes

 * This aspect of Blueberry Muffin's is how she instantly wins Cranberry Clover's affections.

Beautiful Singing Voice

 * Demonstrated with the first three covers of Heifer of Strawberryland.

Because Destiny Says So

 * In The Good Lord's Salvation:
 * Mrs. Christ: From the way I see this handsome young man, I believe he is based on a very important moment in your father's legacy, and hey, he might just be something more than just a friendly face.

Because I Said So

 * The narrator says this when she explains why Christianity is the only religion in the world of Strawberryland.

Because You Were Nice to Me

 * Happens with Peppermint Fizz in Introducing Cranberry Clover. Cranberry Clover's sympathy for her reveals her vulnerable side; as a result, she's nicer to him (and his girlfriend Blueberry Muffin), and considers him an honorary younger brother.
 * Sherry falls in love with Margalo (who feels the same way) after the latter sympathizes with and defends her from Periwinkle's cutting remarks in The Legend of Sherry Bobbleberry.
 * Happens in "Dancing in Disguise" to Sour Grapes I. She disguises herself as a dance instructor to keep the kids busy so she and the other villains can destroy God and take over the world, but she enjoys teaching them so much and their dancing is so extraordinary she cannot bring herself to do it, and with Strawberry's encouragement, she begins a change of heart. This is why Peppermint Fizz, Cranberry Clover, and Blueberry Muffin don’t beat her up like the other villains.
 * Happens with Licorice Whip in "Horror of the Horses" after Cinnamon Muffin and Blackberry Rose save him. He fights in the war on Strawberry's side in "Around the Berry Big World."
 * Happens with Randolph in Praline Prairies. Jolly Roger and his group understand what Randolph had to go through.

Becoming the Mask

 * Sour Grapes I briefly in "Everybody Dance", when she enjoys Strawberry and her friends' dancing so much that she can't bring herself to betray them.
 * Randolph in “Down on The Farm”, as he helps Strawberry bring the animals back and save the country fair.

Being Evil Sucks

 * Randolph is this example.

Beleaguered Assistant

 * Cola Chameleon to Peppermint Fizz
 * Sour Grapes I, II, Sweet Grapes, Raisin Cane, Licorice Whip, Captain Cackle, Foreman Poke, and the Gliders to the Purple Pieman, and Raven to Licorice Whip. These put-upon sidekicks are more sensible than their bosses but are made to go along with their schemes.
 * Custard tends to feel she is in this position for Strawberry Shortcake.
 * Polly N. Saturated averts this, because Cranberry Clover views her as an equal.

Berserk Button

 * You know you've done something bad with baby Strawberry or Cranberry Milkshake when Gruffy looks like he's about to charge at you. The porcupine stampede that Baby Strawberry gets caught in at one point in "How it All Began" proves it when Gruffy immediately races towards the scene to rescue little Strawberry.
 * Do not insult and/or injure Blueberry Muffin by any means. If Cranberry Clover finds out you did, he won't hesitate to hurl an insult at you. Angel Cake learns this the hard way in "Lights... Camera."
 * Peppermint Fizz loses it and lashes out at the villains in "The Sweet Dreams Movie" after they capture the Sandman, and during her outburst she reveals that the Dastardly Duo are the children of Adolf Hitler.
 * Just before she painfully turns into Devil Crud against the others, Angel Cake just about loses it in when she thinks about the minors of Porcupine Peak being killed in "A Weeping Angel."
 * Speaking of Angel Cake, you don't ever insult her family, they are the Christs, and this especially means we know who her dad is.

Berserker Tears

 * After her outburst against the elites and during the final battle, Peppermint Fizz cries these in The Sweet Dreams Movie.
 * These spray (as lava) out of Devil Crud's eyes as she annihilates the Purple Pie Man.
 * Angel Cake also has these during her meltdown.

Bespectacled Cutie

 * Lime Light has a crush on her director Grape Soda.

Best Friends

 * Cranberry Clover and his girlfriend Blueberry Muffin

Betty and Veronica

 * Candy Cane and Frosty Puff both have a crush on Hot Chocolate, who as a result of this, is completely worried he'll hurt the other's feelings and/or have the other feel left out. Despite this, both girls never let this get in the way of their friendship.

Beware The Nice Ones

 * Insulting and/or injuring Cranberry Clover's girlfriend Blueberry Muffin by any means is a surefire way to draw his rage.

Bicolor Cows, Solid Color Bulls

 * Cabernet, a Red Holstein, states that her mate is a dark brown bull.

Big Brother Instinct

 * Peppermint Fizz has an Honorary Big Sister instinct with Cranberry Clover.
 * Sour Grapes I wishes that all the male villains followed this trope for her.

Big Finale Crowd Song

 * There are several and they are as follows:

Big Damn Kiss

 * Five between Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin: one each in Cranberry Clover's First Love, A True Blue Thanksgiving, A Clueberry Christmas, My Lucky Valentine, and The Sweet Dreams Movie.
 * Coco Calypso and Seaberry Delight in Return to Seaberry Shore and Horror Of The Horses
 * Several between the confirmed couples in Around the Berry Big World upon God's declaration of victory.
 * Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler kiss each other near the end of Recovery.

Big Damn Reunion

 * Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler in A Festival Of Friends
 * Near the end of "The Sweet Dreams Movie"
 * Angel Cake: I hope you are Strawberry… we literally fought a war that decided the fate of the entire world... (As she holds her chest with both hands, an apparition appears from behind the group, which she notices, she turns around, she gasps in surprise when she sees who it is, then tears well up in her eyes…)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Is she alright?
 * Angel Cake (happily, through her tears): Oh... my... (Her tears worsen) DAD! (She runs over to Jesus, pulling him into a hug.) Oh Dad! I never thought I’d see you again! (Tears of happiness pour down her face as she cries into Jesus's chest)
 * Jesus: There my child. Everything's going to be okay. We're going to restore your friends' dreams once and for all. Those purple heretics will pay for what they've done.
 * This follows the moment God announces to his subjects that they have won the war in Around the Berry Big World. All the Strawberrylanders are reunited with their pets, boyfriends with girlfriends, siblings with each other, and Jesus with his daughter.
 * "In Lights Camera..." Randolph reunites with his parents.

Big "NO!"

 * Followed by a Rapid-Fire "No!" when Huckleberry is offered to play Prince Charming in, "The Play's The Thing". He changed his mind when they offered to bake him some pies.
 * Foreman Poke has this in "The Sweet Dreams Movie." while the villains' super weapons and equipment used to rule the world literally explode, securing their defeat.

Big "WHAT?!"

 * The boys, in When the Rivers Run Red when they finally find out what the title code words mean.

Book Ends

 * During the last scene of the whole series, part of the narrator's last lines reference the opening and the first season:
 * Narrator: (As we go over important flashbacks) When we first started, what very few Christians seemed to realize is that there was a world beyond human imagining that hoped to be a very popular world among many in the world of Christianity. Many more people than ever now know about such a world. And now, we can finally conclude our story. We've come a long way since we first started and it's still hard to believe that it's finally over. With the chosen emperor and empress finally ruling over their global empire, and the dreams of our many allies finally reached. All is finally how God wanted it. All evil has been exterminated and Strawberry and Huck are reigning over the world. The salvation was a great success, and Pie Man has recovered from the Nazism, and finally got the pie shop he dreamed about, all without causing any damage to the world. It feels so good that what used to be Porcupine Peak has been blessed and united. Oh, and remember that flower that blooms every ten years, yep! Huck and Strawberry were a lot more successful! It's now time to say goodbye to the happiest world Christianity can bring in. (She begins to choke up.) It was a good run, but good things must come to an end. (She catches her breath.) We apologize if the story wasn't presented to you in the fashion you expected when we first started. But there are a lot of lessons you'll be able to learn from all that you've seen. (She sniffles.) Goodbye for now, and thank you for taking such a life changing journey with us. This has been, The True Story of Strawberry Shortcake.

Borrowed Catchphrase

 * Cranberry Clover says his girlfriend's "Absoluuu-ootely!" catchphrase in When The Rivers Run Red.

Bounty Hunter

 * Super Syrup is determined to save and restore the kingdom before Slasher attacks.

Bowdlerise

 * In Strawberry's variation of "Sleeping Beauty", instead of the antagonist casting a spell where the princess pricks her finger and dies, she will just disappear forever.

Brainy Brunette

 * Blueberry Muffin is this to the letter.

Bratty Girl

 * Cranberry Clover thinks Angel Cake is this.

Brave Scot

 * Cranachan, who is from what was once Scotland.

Break the Cutie

 * Cranberry Clover suffers this in The Sweet Dreams Movie when Rainbow Sherbet accidentally hurts his feelings by saying his raincoat looks silly on him.
 * Even though she and her crush Cherry Cuddler stayed home during the Berry Big World War, Apple Dumplin' suffers this throughout due to what everyone (including her sisters) had to go through, and what would happen if they lost. We only find out in the first few minutes of Recovery.
 * The whole Devil Crud ordeal breaks Angel Cake mentally and emotionally.

Breaking the Bonds

 * During her attack, Devil Crud frees the children of Porcupine Peak by tearing off their restraints, albeit roughly.

Breaking the Fourth Wall

 * In "The Play's The Thing", before the song "Angels" Jesus states this:
 * "This is my one scene, I know it'll be worth it..."
 * Cranberry Clover mentions the Pie Man being absent from Season 2 to Blueberry Muffin in The Sweet Dreams Movie.
 * Apple Pie sometimes does this.

Breath of Fire

 * Devil Crud can spew out long streams of violet fire which is one of her powers. (It's violet because it's the hottest fire color)

Briffits And Squeans

 * Cranberry Clover emits Plewds when Fried Chicken blames him for being the reason Angel Cake became Devil Crud in A Weeping Angel.

Bring My Brown Pants

 * Throughout the episode Recovery, as a result of her mental trauma from the Berry Big World War, and basically the war itself as a whole and all of the suffering that happened and what would have happened, had the allies been defeated, a traumatized Apple Dumplin has a couple wetting accidents (one is an instance of Embarrassing Damp Sheets) since she has become overly terrified to the point that she won't even enter the bathroom.

Broken Aesop

 * Probably several episodes, but two particularly blatant examples quickly come to mind:
 * Win Some, Lose Some: Yes, Strawberry, Cheaters Never Prosper. Especially if your definition of "cheating" doesn't include deliberately withholding a competitor until the final event. A final event which she and the others have to be reminded of after the fact! In their defense, though, most of the previous events were too dangerous for a one-year-old like Apple Dumplin' to participate in, subverting this.
 * The Good Mayor: It really goes without saying that a pest infestation which could cause a mass plague AND the apocalypse is NOT AT ALL the time to start asking nicely unless it helps with the situation. Unlike the original, the bugs are burnt by Almond Cookie, and Foreman Poke, who released them to pave the way for global catastrophe, falls into the river when the log is pushed in.

Broken Tears

 * Cranberry Clover has these in The Sweet Dreams Movie until Blueberry Muffin arrives at his house to cheer him up.
 * Apple Dumplin has these throughout the first parts of Recovery, and these escalate when she reveals why she's terrified. Worst part, she doesn't stop crying. At least until Strawberry sings.
 * Angel Cake has these during her meltdown A Weeping Angel.

Brother–Sister Team

 * The Pieman and Sour Grapes I are a villainous version.

Bull Seeing Red

 * More of a Cow Seeing Red, given that Angel Cake's a girl, but it's a possible reason why Angel Cake (while she was Devil Crud), attempted to brutally injure Cranberry Clover, or it could be because of what Angel claims to be "a severe and undying hatred for the ENTIRETY of the Christ empire".

Burning with Anger

 * Devil Crud takes this up a notch.

Butt-Monkey

 * Most of the Porcupine Peak minions.
 * Every Purple Pieman defeat in a war takes this to the extreme:
 * How It All Began: He is born the son of the already hated Adolf Hitler, who commits suicide, then he and his sister Shelia are smuggled into planet Strawberryland by Satan, who commits the parent purge that gets his sister, along with anyone related to him exiled to Porcupine Peak.
 * Sweet Dreams: His plans to take over the world fail when he is defeated by God and the Strawberrylanders, the super weapons explode, his army is injured, his plans for the Fourth German Reich are ruined, and he is captured and exiled.
 * Around The Berry Big World: A final ambush from Pink Glaze Donut secures the defeat of Porcupine Peak. While in his ultimate form, he is later defeated by Strawberry in a final battle between the two. He is exiled back to Porcupine Peak again and the wastelands are walled up so that he can't take over the world.
 * Down On The Farm: He, along with Sour Grapes I and Lord Purple are trampled by sheep twice. Randolph, the son of Nixon, one of his horses, then runs away after this after it is revealed he contributed to the defeat.
 * A Weeping Angel: He is the most injured victim of Angel Cake's attack on Porcupine Peak while she's Devil Crud, he gets beaten into a walking bloody pulp by the furious teenager.
 * The Escape: The children he has controlled are led to freedom by Foreman Poke. His Pie Tin Palace is then raided and destroyed by Pink Glaze Donut and the SWAT Team, and then Foreman Poke, his own porcupine friend, sets the land on fire.
 * Revolution: He has not recovered from the previous two episodes. Dobbin, his own prized shire stallion, leads all of the animals of Porcupine Peak (with the help of Strawberry Shortcake) in a rebellion to take him down once and for all. His only true comrade, Lord Purple, is then killed, and he and Sour Grapes I are taken out of Porcupine Peak by the survivors.

Cain and Abel

 * Purple Pieman and Sour Grapes I, particularly highlighted in multiple episodes.
 * Sour Grapes I (as the Wicked Witch of the West) gets a temporary switch to Cain in the Berry Brick Road episodes with Plum Puddin' (as Glinda the Good Witch) as her Abel.
 * Sour Grapes II (Cain) and Sweet Grapes (Abel)

 * Strawberry Shortcake: Cranberry Clover? Blueberry Muffin? What brings you here?

Easily Forgiven

Emergency Presidential Address

 * In a post credit scene in around the Berry Big World, King Sugar Cube gives a speech about the war:
 * "My subjects, I speak to you today with feelings of sorrow and relief. Through the last eighty days, we watched our beloved world of Strawberryland fight against the tyrannical residents of Porcupine Peak in a truly terrifying world war like the world has never seen before. Just seeing violent, repulsive, destructive battles rage across my empire really made my heart sting, and since it was a war that was out of my control, I had no other choice... do you know how close we were to Porcupine Peak destroying and taking over the entire world, and starting the Fourth German Reich?! We were ONE SECOND close to total doomsday! ONE second... let that sink in! I am very thankful for our military bases from all over the world for their valiant tactics, and to the three brave teenagers who were seen fighting those Peculiar Purple Powers, I thank you for defeating the root of all the evil that threatened the world that is one country. Queen Fruit Punch, Princess Alaskan Blueberry and I, would like to wish all of those who have been injured in such wars quick and easy recoveries, and we would like to express deep, solemn condolences to those we have lost. Therapists and counseling services are being offered to those who are in dire need of them, and a memorial dedicated to those who died will be opened in the coming month. We will be building a wall to keep the Peculiar Purple Powers inside Porcupine Peak, so that they will no longer cause any harm to any part of our world. Thank you, and God bless Strawberryland!"

 * Lime Light: What would that be?
 * Grape Soda: I really enjoy working with you, and when you became the diva you were, I was concerned about you! You're also the most beautiful actress in Berrywood, and I can't help being attracted to you! (Pause) What I actually intended to say was... I love you, Lime Light!
 * Lime Light: (blushing) I'm speechless! You were the first friend I've made here, and the closest too. I had no idea you had feelings for me! I love you too, Grape Soda! (Lime Light and Grape Soda passionately kiss each other on the lips before the former turns to Strawberry.) And thank you Strawberry! For helping me remember, that it's not all about me!
 * Strawberry Shortcake: I'm glad I could help Lime!
 * Cranberry Milkshake: I knew reuniting with you after thirteen years would be worth it (Gruffy walks up.)
 * Gruffy: (impressed) Strawberry, Cranberry. I must say, you two were excellent out there, and so was Lime, as well as all your other friends. Never thought I would say this again, but you've done the good book another win. (Turns to Lime Light.) Lime Light, I knew from the bottom of my heart that I knew you realize that the way you had been was wrong. And I knew you would accomplish great achievements in this life of yours.

 * Cranberry Clover: I mean every word of my haiku, to the letter. I get this warm, cozy feeling whenever I'm near you. You're berry beautiful, Blue; so beautiful, I just can't look away! It took me a few minutes, but I realized what that feeling was. I love you, Blueberry Muffin!
 * Coco Calypso and Seaberry Delight confess this to each other in the book Return to Seaberry Shore:
 * But deep in her mind, Coco started feeling like that maybe Seaberry was something more than just her best friend. Now, of course she knew exactly what it was, and she was determined to tell her before the day was over. The two girls had only known each other for months now, but ever since that fateful day, they were very close. After pulling herself together, Coco finally exhaled, allowing confidence to take control of her mind.
 * "Um, Seaberry, I have something that I need to tell you..." She began hesitantly, and of course, there was a slight bit of nervousness in her voice, but she was still determined to get this statement out before she missed the chance to.
 * "Back when we first met, I couldn't help but realize how close we were about to be, and as we spent more and more time together, I just couldn't help but realize how happy I was whenever I was around you. You're a friend I'm able to see more, and I'm quite happy I'm able to know such a friendly girl! I guess what I wanted to tell you was: I love you, Seaberry Delight!"
 * At this moment, everything seemed to freeze in an instant when she had said the last part. Seaberry's cheeks turned a bright red, just as a small, but meaningful smile spread across her face. The others froze upon hearing what Coco had said, and they thought at first that it was just something that would only happen in the perfect dream. It was hard for them to believe that Coco had just said such a thing.
 * Then it was at that time, that Seaberry let out a heartwarming giggle and began with her response: "To be honest with you, I never thought I'd find out you had feelings for me, especially since you were my first friend, someone that I'd constantly be able to see! And you know what? I feel the exact same way, because I love you too, Coco Calypso!"
 * The whole time, not even once was the gaze between the two girls broken at any given point. Both of them knew that there was only one way to seal this. The girls leaned in, pressing their lips together before realizing that this was their first ever kiss, as a couple at least. The two had their actual first kiss when they first met, but now that they had actually confessed feelings for each other, this was more meaningful.
 * Rote Grütze and Cinnamon Twist in It Takes Talent:
 * Rote Grütze: I never knew you were into photography! We have so much in common!
 * Cinnamon Twist: Still can’t believe we have something in common. Finding this out was so surprising that I think I love you, Rote Grütze! (Rote’s eyes widen.)
 * Rote Grütze: I don’t know how something we have in common could develop feelings, but I love you too Cinnamon Twist! (The two kiss each other on the lips.)
 * After everyone else has left, Cherry Cuddler confesses this to Apple Dumplin' during their hug after revealing she was concerned about her near the end of Recovery. Apple Dumplin' reciprocates.
 * Cherry Cuddler: (pulls Apple Dumplin into a hug) I was worried sick about you! I was afraid I would never see that cheerful smile of yours again! I have a confession to make: I love you, Apple Dumplin'!
 * Apple Dumplin' (blushing): (hugs back) Aww, I didn't know you felt that way about me! I'm all better now, thanks to my big sisters! I really enjoy your cuddles, and I feel the same way: I love you too, Cherry Cuddler!
 * Cherry Cuddler: There's something else I want to ask you: will you be my girlfriend, Apple? (Apple's eyes start tearing up with joy before she gives her answer.)
 * Apple Dumplin': Yes! I would love to be your girlfriend, Cherry! (She and Cherry Cuddler look into each other's eyes before the two passionately kiss each other on the lips.)
 * At some time in the episode Back In The Saddle (not yet determined) when they're both alone, the Power Ent confesses this to Annie Oatmeal.
 * Power Ent: And it was this afternoon when it came to me, and I finally knew what I was feeling. And it's because of something I've been waiting to tell you ever since the competition started. Not only are you, Annie Oatmeal, the most beautiful cowgirl that a male angel like myself could lay his eyes upon, and you are also are the only true love of my life. And you know that with such a beloved honor, I wish to spend the rest of my days with you. (Upon hearing "true love of my life", a smile forms on Annie's face before she covers her mouth and her eyes begin to tear up.)
 * Annie Oatmeal: (Smiling through her tears) Do you… really mean that?!
 * Power Ent: I’d never lie about things like that! But all this does it beg another question, and what I want to ask you is… do you love me as much as I do? (A single tear rolls down Annie's cheek, which she wipes away.)
 * Annie Oatmeal: (Blushing a bit as she rubs her eyes dry before she finally gives her answer.) You know, to be honest, I never knew you felt that way about me! I really appreciate having you help me out, and believe it or not, I actually feel the same way about you, so what else could I say except... yes! I wouldn’t have known anything about this ranch if it weren’t for your leadership, your strategy, and most of all, your charming personality! I owe you a huge thank you for helping me out for the past six years, and I’ll always have faith in ya! There's something else I want to tell you: for someone who's always able to live up to his title as a Powerfully Angelic Entity, I love you too... (She and the Ent look into each others eyes before Annie abruptly pulls the Ent into a hug while being careful to not crush his wings, and kisses him on the lips before letting go of him, leaving him to float completely still in surprise.) I’m gonna head down to the main area. (Walks away, leaving the Ent, still floating in his spot.)
 * Power Ent: I don’t believe it… She likes me! She likes me! (Flies around excitedly) Oh man I never thought this would happen!


 * Two in The Good Lord's Salvation
 * About midway through, Everything Bagel confesses this to Pineberry Peach:

 * Cranberry Clover: (Getting an idea) I got this, True Blue. (Goes over to Pineberry and whispers into her ear, and she nods.)
 * Everything Bagel: (Walks over to Pineberry, while Blueberry and C.C watch from the bench.) Hey, Pineberry?
 * Pineberry Peach: Oh hi. What’s going on?
 * Everything Bagel: There’s something about you that I need to confess. And it might sound strange.
 * Pineberry Peach: (Concerned) Well, why didn't you just say so? Tell me the first thing that comes to mind.
 * Everything Bagel: Anytime I’m near you, I start feeling all warm and cozy. I found out why just a few moments ago.
 * Pineberry Peach: What was it?
 * Everything Bagel: I think you’re cute. Seeing that adorable smile on your face makes me smile. And it makes me want to confess that… Pineberry Peach… I love you. (A smile forms across Pineberry’s face.)
 * Pineberry Peach: (Giggles while blushing.) That was so sweet of you! I know you’ve been trying to impress me, but you’re amazing just the way you are. And I love you too, Everything Bagel! (She and Ev share a hug and kiss each other on the lips.)
 * Cranberry Clover: (Whispers excitedly to Blueberry upon witnessing the moment.) He’s done it!
 * Blueberry Muffin: (Claps quietly for a few seconds.) Oh I knew he’d do it! (Hugs her boyfriend.) Thanks for helping my brother work up the courage.
 * Cranberry Clover: You’re welcome, True Blue.
 * Near the end of the episode, Unleavened Flatbread does this for Angel Cake, the princess of heaven:
 * Unleavened Flatbread: Having been a fan of your family before I was even born, I always saw myself as one of the most beloved, and most respected fellas in town. After all, I am based on the bread that your father and our savior had during the Last Supper. Being a follower of your father's teachings and your mother's influence has shaped me into the young man they all know me as. Seeing your perfectly shiny skin, your fluffy blonde hair as soft as a pillow, and your beautiful diamond blue eyes. All of that is what makes you, Princess Angel Cake Christ of The Empire of God, the girl that I love the most. With you being called a princess, I reckon you will also need a prince, and with that statement, there's something else I want to ask you: do you, Angel Cake Christ, wish to take me, Unleavened Flatbread, as your beloved boyfriend and prince, to love now and forever, so help you God? (Angel Cake's eyes widen. She covers her moth as tears pour down her face, which she wipes away. Angel looks over to her parents watching with glee with the rest of the Christ family, Vanilla Icing, Souffle, Red Wine, and White Wine beside them. Jesus nods with a smile, and Angel turns to answer.)
 * Angel Cake: One thing that makes you stand out is that you're definitely telling the truth when you say you're based on the bread of the last supper. I've never been this moved by just speaking to someone, and you know what? You being my prince, would be the greatest... honor... EVER! (Her family rejoices as Angel pulls Flat into a hug and kisses him on the lips.)

 * Power Ent: (He and Annie finish looking over the checklist) Alright! That's everyone! Lucas, you lead Strawberry's team to their bunkhouse, Beau, you lead Angel's. (Banana Candy turns towards Tangerina Torta.)
 * Banana Candy: (whispers) Psst, Tangerina. We might be on different teams, but I wanted to wish you good luck on the contest.
 * Tangerina Torta: (whispers while blushing) Thanks Banana, good luck to you as well. (The two hug before they passionately kiss each other on the lips before opening them enough for their tongues to intertwine in each other's mouths, then they separate with a saliva trail connecting their mouths, Rambo's ears pick up their kissing, though when he looks over to the teams, the kiss has already concluded.)
 * Rambo: Did you guys hear something? (His group looks around.)
 * Peck: Yeah I think I heard something that I'd think would never be heard here and... (Silence, then acting like he's fine.) Maybe not. (Turns to the groups.) Yeah, it's nothing, you can go on. (The Cuke brothers lead the two teams to their bunkhouses.)

The four sing about how she's been away for a while:
 * CC: In a short time from now,

My God, What Have I Done?

 * Peppermint Fizz at first celebrates her victory following the games in "Win Some, Lose Some", but it ends up a Pyrrhic Victory when she sees Strawberry Shortcake giving Apple Dumplin' a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech, which ends up making Peppermint Fizz come clean and tearfully call herself out.
 * After Cranberry Clover and Margalo tell her off in The Legend of Sherry Bobbleberry, Periwinkle realizes how selfish she was being, and unlike the original, actually apologizes.
 * Rainbow Sherbet has this in The Sweet Dreams Movie after she hurts Cranberry Clover's feelings and makes him leave the clubhouse crying.
 * Prankster in "Red Flag" has this after his wife tells him that he let poor judgement cloud his mind when he told Halo to not be around Randolph, (he didn't know was already having a bad day after he was bullied), so he goes out to confess to Nixon about what he did.
 * After realizing what the Grape Twins (Sweet and Sour II and Raisin Cane) had to go through in "Around the Berry Big World", King Sugar Cube finally apologizes to them for everything that happened and allows them to live in Central Strawberryland.
 * Angel Cake has an extremely severe episode of this when it is revealed that she severely worsened the already gruesome riots raging on in Porcupine Peak while she was Devil Crud in "A Weeping Angel". The reaction to her realization only traumatizes Angel even more, and this results in her having a full on mental breakdown, complete with Berserker Tears, Crying a River, and Ocular Gushers.
 * The animals of Porcupine Peak, while satisfied with Lord Purple's death, realize that Adolf and Sheila's lives are already worse than when they were first exiled.
 * Randolph seems to not regret running away, but when he spots the girls approaching the cart in "Lights... Camera..." he and his friends take off to not only stop Strawberry and her friends, but to also save his dad (who is pulling the cart), and stop the Pie Man from kidnapping Blackberry Bun.

Mysterious Note

 * The haiku Blueberry Muffin finds in Cranberry Clover's First Love was left for her by her "Secret Admirer. "

Mystery Episode

 * The subplot of Cranberry Clover's First Love

Named in the Adaptation

 * In the original, background characters were unnamed; but in True Story, they now have official names:
 * The magic rabbit Huck pulls out of a hat in "Get Well Adventure" is named Harvey Hare Houdini.
 * The girl wearing a purple version of Lemon Meringue's hat is named Lily Purple Blackberry, and her friend is named Linda Yellow Loganberry.
 * Lime "Light" Chiffon's director (and crush) is named Julienne Brownie, using Grape Soda as a stage name; her makeup pro is named Eartha Kit-Kat, and her wardrobe manager and wig boy (who are dating) are named Blackberry Bianca Heyward and Juniperberry James Street.

Narrator

 * The voice of this narrator is Julia Butters, who also sings a handful of the songs.

National Anthem

 * "Glorious As Strawberryland" is the national anthem of the planet of Strawberryland. The song is set to the melody of Scotland the Brave and has been translated to several languages. This recurring song was first sung by Strawberry Shortcake in "Peppermint's Pet Peeve." Every time it is sung, there's usually a music accompaniment, usually by a recording of an instrumental or a group of angels playing live instruments.
 * Episodes where it is sung include:
 * Strawberry Shortcake (Peppermint's Pet Peeve)
 * Cranberry Milkshake (Win Some, Lose Some)
 * Peppermint Fizz (feat Angel Cake, Blueberry Muffin & Cranberry Clover, and Lemon Meringue) (Queen for a Day)
 * Blueberry Muffin and Cranberry Clover (duet) (Goodbye Strawberryland Elementary)
 * Strawberry Shortcake and Huckleberry Pie (duet) (Middle School's Farewell)
 * Mostly everyone (Supreme Sixteenth)
 * God and everyone (with a rap verse by Fried Chicken to discriminate Porcupine Peak and its totalitarian ways) (Around the Berry Big World/The World Adventure)
 * Undetermined (Recovery, though Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler are the lead vocals)
 * Everyone (Bitter and Sweet)

Nature Lover

 * Tangerina Torta
 * Granola Crunch

Near-Villain Victory

 * Lord Purple and his forces almost get the green light to unleash their fury and release an unstoppable force and finally take over the world in Around the Berry Big World, when suddenly from off screen, someone who is later revealed to be Pink Glaze Donut, who leads an entire SWAT army, yells out:
 * Pink Glaze Donut (off-screen): "THIS ISN'T OVER, ADOLF! EVERYBODY ATTACK ANYONE FROM PORCUPINE PEAK AND DON'T GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO FIGHT BACK!"
 * Foreman Poke unleashes Berry Beetles in "The Good Mayor" so that they can destroy the plants and kickstart an easy full scale invasion. Luckily he doesn't get too far, because he accidentally gives himself away because when Pink Glaze Donut overhears him, she investigates and finds out that it was the porcupine who released the Berry Beetles, allowing the girls to lure the beetles away. Foreman eventually falls into the river.

Negative Continuity

 * In the second episode, "A Berry Happy First Birthday," Apple Dumplin' is tasked with mixing the pot while making her birthday cake. However, in "Baby Takes The Cake," Strawberry and her friends tell her that she is too little to help them bake.

Nervous Wreck

 * Peppermint Fizz from The Sweet Dreams Movie to Nervously Wrecked
 * Angel Cake for most of The Good Lord's Salvation, until she has her talk with her mother, and then meets up with Unleavened Flatbread.

New Superpower

 * In A Weeping Angel, after being fully healed, Angel Cake gains her angel form allowing her to fly: Her outfit is mostly white with gold trims, and her bottoms are a white skirt and leggings with white sneakers with a gold lining. She also has real angel wings, allowing her to glide like an eagle.
 * In the following episode, she acquires the Crucifier's Necklace, allowing her to become the Crusader Princess.

Never My Fault

 * The Brambleberry Fairy blames her exclusion from the presentation ceremony and the after party on everyone else when it was really her own Idiot Ball (the Brambleberry fence and ignorance of the invitation) that resulted in her exclusion. This gets toned down later on when she realizes what this made her become and starts to regret what she did. Prince Huckleberry tells her that she needs to listen to get the full message, cementing her Heel–Face Turn.
 * In Lights... Camera... Nixon reveals that Randolph's choice to help Strawberry and Caramel in "Down On The Farm" was the right thing to do.

New Jobs As The Plot Demands

 * This is used to great comic effect in "Strawberry's Big Journey." When the group meets Banana Candy, she is working as a mechanic. They ask if there's somewhere that they can get food and she directs them to a local cafe and offers them a taxi... which turns out to be driven by her. When they get to the cafe, Banana Candy is making the meal, leading them to wonder just how the car is going to get fixed.
 * Banana Candy: Small towns like this, you need a few jobs to make ends meet.

No Antagonist

 * Much of the remakes of the 2003 episodes except The Festival of Fillies, up until the Sweet Dreams Movie.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown

 * Devil Crud does this to everybody who tries to go near her during her rampage on Porcupine Peak. She has a 99.9% hit rate. (the 0.1% she misses is Cranberry Clover, who is not affiliated with Porcupine Peak.)

No One Could Survive That!

 * Although Queen Lilac's arena was a brick floor over a giant pit, Jesus manages to catch his daughter.
 * Almost everyone in Porcupine Peak is attacked by Devil Crud (they survive). Her final plan involves destroying the Purple Pieman himself with the goal of taking the fatheaded Hitler son's life once and for all.
 * Guess who survives, only to have his crummy base raided and destroyed by Pink Glaze Donut in the following episode?

No, You!

 * This dialogue from The Sweet Dreams Movie:
 * Angel Cake: Everything has been a complete disaster! Berry fields have been destroyed, Berry Birds are amok and the son of Adolf Hitler is about to lead an army of porcupines into the decimation of our world! AN ABSOLUTE DICTATORSHIP! A GIANT PLANET WHICH IS BASICALLY A WASTELAND DICTATED BY PORCUPINES! (Lemon Meringue cowers behind Raspberry Torte)
 * Cranberry Clover: The only disaster I see here is YOU! (angrily walks toward the door)

Nonviolent Glaswegian

 * Everyone's favorite bagpiper, Cranachan

Not Now, Kiddo

 * Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler get this sometimes, but never from Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin.

Ocean Madness

 * The bonus music video of Lights...Camera

Ocular Gushers

 * In "Baby Takes the Cake," all of the babies (except Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin, who act more like their usual nine-year-old selves) in Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler's Imagine Spot (in which they are adults) wail and cry these when the former gets angry and tells them that they can't help her. She then starts crying these herself and, seeing this, they stop and calm down.
 * After Rainbow Sherbet says his patched-together raincoat looks silly on him, Cranberry Clover has these as he leaves the Friendship Clubhouse in The Sweet Dreams Movie.
 * Apple Dumplin has these for a split second in "Recovery" while she vents to her older sisters about how terrifying the Berry Big World War was and how close the world was to being taken over by the diabolical tyranny of Porcupine Peak.
 * In "A Weeping Angel," Angel Cake has this twice:
 * First time as Devil Crud during a few moments in her destructive rampage which technically still counts since her eyes can shoot fire like her mouth does.
 * Second time after realizing the terror she caused while she was Devil Crud, these somehow erupt from Berserker Tears and spill out onto the floor, given that she bawls into her pillow.

Official Kiss

 * Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin in Cranberry Clover's First Love:
 * Cranberry Clover: I mean every word of my haiku, to the letter. I get this warm, cozy feeling whenever I'm near you. You're berry beautiful, Blue; so beautiful, I just can't look away! It took me a few minutes, but I realized what that feeling was. I love you, Blueberry Muffin! (hugs her)
 * Blueberry Muffin (blushing): Aww, you're absolutely sweet! I love you too, Cranberry Clover! (reciprocates the hug)
 * Cranberry Clover: I've been wanting to ask you, will you be my girlfriend, Blueberry?
 * Blueberry Muffin: Absoluuu-ootely!
 * Narrator: (Blueberry takes Cranberry's hand before the two lean in and kiss each other passionately.) Now love doesn't always get achieved overnight, sometimes it's not always easy to confess how you feel for someone you are very fond of. It's best to start out small, like going for a treat the two of you like. Sometimes you'll never know if that person is really your true love. (When the kiss is finished, the two walk off into the sunset)
 * Polly: Well, would you look at this!
 * Cheesecake: What is it, Polly?
 * Polly: My owner is in love with your owner! Speaking of which, we should probably go back to them!
 * Cheesecake: Great idea! (The two run off to join their owners as the camera fades up to the sky)
 * Narrator: Something we can take from this is that love can sometimes be complicated, and if you ever need advice on love, perhaps you could ask your folks about sustaining the perfect relationship. There's a whole world out there, and you'll never know who your true love might be. (The screen fades to black, ending the episode.)
 * Coco Calypso and Seaberry Delight share theirs in the book Return to Seaberry Shore.
 * Rote Grütze and Cinnamon Twist in It Takes Talent.

 * Lime Light and Grape Soda share one in Hooray for Berrywood!

Offscreen Moment of Awesome

 * The narrator mentions Blueberry Muffin and Cranberry Clover's 11th birthday in "When The Rivers Run Red"
 * Narrator: Fortunately, the 11th gave the gang some time to forget about the talk, for that day was Blueberry Muffin and Cranberry Clover's 11th birthday, so of course, the party was able to get everyone's minds away from what was to come. (The date July 12th 2002 appears) The next morning, while things seemed fine on the surface, the girls knew there was the talk that they needed to hear about. Huck was concerned about what would happen to Strawberry, and as some might suspect, he was not alone.

Oh, Crap!

 * Peppermint Fizz gets one when her competitors find that her lizard was just lip-syncing instead of singing much to their ire in "Peppermint's Pet Peeve".
 * The entire gang gets this when they get the idea that an abomination (which they call "the Blueberry Beast") is occupying a house. Turns out, it's just Blueberry Muffin doing her things at home, as Strawberry Shortcake finds out the next day.
 * Jesus, unaware about the play, gets this when he finds out that someone's battling his own daughter in Super Berry Bros 3.

 * In the same episode, even after having the protection ready, in an off screen moment, Strawberry gets this in the bathroom after she finds out that "it" finally happened to her. Even the narrator is shocked.
 * Randolph gets this when his glow is exposed in "Red Flag".
 * In "Around The Berry Big World"
 * Strawberry gets this when she realizes that the warship that two people offered for her, Huckleberry Pie, Blackberry Bun, and Peppermint Fizz's trip back to Central Strawberryland isn't going in the right direction. (Strawberry watched the stars at night.) Fizz doubts it... until Strawberry realizes that the land that they are approaching does not match Central Strawberryland at all. Both girls and Huck get this when the ship is shot down. Fortunately, one of their friends who lives there and a few soldiers help them get back.
 * The generals and elites of the Porcupine Peak Army get this when they hear Pink Glaze Donut's voice before the final ambush that destroys the Porcupine Peak army and gets the generals kidnapped, securing Strawberryland winning the war with ONE SECOND left.
 * Strawberry and Cranberry Milkshake get another in "Recovery" after they see what has come of Apple Dumplin.
 * In Down On The Farm:
 * The Purple Pie Man, Sour Grapes I, and Lord Purple before the sheep attack them.
 * Randolph also gets this when he finds out he was spotted helping Custard and Pupcake leading the animals back to Caramel Corn's Farm. This is the reason he runs away.

 * Severe headache and high fever (caused by high stress)
 * Excessive sweating, nausea, and trembling (caused by high stress Porcupine Peak)
 * Intense distress at real or symbolic reminders of the trauma (anything about the war or Porcupine Peak)

Only I Can Kill Him

 * Strawberry Shortcake is the only one able to deliver the killing blow to each final battle, Satan.

Opening Narration

 * Each of the four seasons has their own unique opening narrations. They also recap the previous episodes before the main opening. For example, here is the recap at the start of the episode Recovery:
 * Narrator: Last time on The True Story of Strawberry Shortcake, I was not here for the whole episode due to its nature, but here's what I was told. Lord Purple was out of his mind. He somehow got Almond Cookie trapped in a vial, and he and the Purple Pie Man declared global war on Strawberryland, which the king had NO CONTROL over. Strawberry had 80 days to go around the world and took Huckleberry Pie and Peppermint Fizz with her. Blackberry Bun also went to save his brother, while God and everyone else took to wars that are already terrifying enough on paper. Oh, and the Chipmunks and the Chipettes were on some balloon rase that is the cover for a diamond smuggling ring. It was the closest win I've ever seen, but God and his allies reigned victorious in the end, and peace was restored, and Strawberry and her friends were hailed heroes. But what about Apple Dumplin? Oh that's gonna be a hard question, but I won't say a thing, you'll have to find out yourself. What happened to poor Apple Dumplin'?! We'll be answering all of these questions in a moment. Oh and someone who isn’t one of her sisters has been worried sick.

Paper-Thin Disguise

 * "Everybody Dance" has Sour Grapes I in disguise as a dance instructor named "Rita Rutabaga", which she uses to take advantage of Strawberry and her friends' love of dancing and distract them so that Porcupine Peak can overthrow God and take over the world of Strawberryland.
 * "Around the Berry Big World" has the four Porcupine Peak Leaders in a paper-thin disguise as a ship crew, offering to take Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie, Blackberry Bun and Peppermint Fizz home to Central Strawberryland, but actually out to sabotage them so that they can win the war.
 * Played with in "Down on the Farm." During a few heists Randolph, Crasher's twin sons, Rocket's daughter, and Dobbin's niece disguise themselves as deer. Later on, Strawberry Shortcake, Pupcake, and Custard disguise themselves as sheep and hide among the sheep of Caramel Corn's farm to discover who's been stealing her animals. Caramel Corn finds their disguises less than convincing, but Strawberry says that by the time it's dark they won't notice anything. When the Purple Pie Man and Sour Grapes I come to take the sheep, Sour Grapes I asks if they should take the "funny-looking" ones as well. Pie Man, being a jerk, says that he doesn't care what they look like. Later on, Randolph uses his disguise to help Custard and Pupcake sneak the animals back onto Caramel's farm.

 * When you're big like me (And me!)
 * And won't that be a lovely day to see
 * That day when you're all big and tall like me
 * When no one will tell you what to do
 * ' Cause you'll be the only boss of you
 * So one day you'll be grown up, yesiree
 * Until then, you must wait very patiently
 * When you'll run and jump and play
 * A grown-up kid in every way
 * Like me (and me! ), like me ( and me! )

We don't know how many times this happened, but it happens more than once. Luckily, as her sisters help Apple overcome her PTSD, she's soon confident enough to go to the bathroom again.

 * (A while later, almost everyone has left the party, except Crepes Suzette, Eclaire, Cherry Cuddler, and Gooseberry. After Strawberry and Huck kiss each other on the lips before the latter leaves, Strawberry turns to Crepe.)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: I gotta say Crepe, I’m really happy that we were able to celebrate our glory, as well as the birthdays that we missed! Thank you for helping out! Merci!
 * Crepes Suzette: Don’t mention it Madam Strawberry. Our younger sisters must be pretty good friends. Come on Cherry! We’re gonna get going soon, say goodbye to Apple!
 * Cherry Cuddler: (pulls Apple Dumplin into a hug) I was worried sick about you! I was afraid I would never see that cheerful smile of yours again! I have a confession to make: I love you, Apple Dumplin'!
 * Apple Dumplin' (blushing): (hugs back) Aww, I didn't know you felt that way about me! I'm all better now, thanks to my big sisters! I really enjoy your cuddles, and I feel the same way: I love you too, Cherry Cuddler!
 * Cherry Cuddler: There's something else I want to ask you: will you be my girlfriend, Apple? (Apple's eyes start tearing up with joy before she gives her answer.)
 * Apple Dumplin': Yes! I would love to be your girlfriend, Cherry! (She and Cherry Cuddler look into each other's eyes before the two passionately kiss each other on the lips.)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: (giggles after seeing Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler hugging and kissing each other) Oh Apple! I never knew you and Cherry were that close!
 * Crepes Suzette: Same here. I guess we never thought about it.
 * Cranberry Milkshake: Well it’s starting to get late, we’ve gonna get going now.
 * Cherry Cuddler: Bye, Apple Dumplin! (The two hug each other again)
 * Apple Dumplin': Bye! (Both sets of siblings depart before we cut to Strawberry’s house in the late evening, where the three sisters are getting ready for bed. While Family from Nintendo's Super Mario Galaxy plays in the background, Apple Dumplin comes out of the bathroom.)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Are you feeling much better Apple?
 * Apple Dumplin': So much better Strawberry, I’ve been able to actually go to the bathroom again! And after finally tying up the loose ends and celebrating what we missed, I feel so much happier, a lot more safe, and more loved than ever! (Hugs her older sister)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: (giggles) Can I give you something? It’s a berry special treasure? (Walks into her room, Apple follows her, and Cranberry does so too, and Strawberry picks up an old teddy bear from her windowsill and slowly hands it to Apple Dumplin) It was Gruffy’s first gift to me when I was a baby. But of course, the best gift was having him around.
 * Cranberry Milkshake: (walks in) He would be very proud of us if he was here right now. (A spirit places her hand on Strawberry’s shoulder, and Strawberry turns around, and the girls see their mother, Fragaria.)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: (tears of joy) Mom! (Fragaria pulls her daughter into a hug)
 * Apple Dumplin': Oh Mom!
 * Cranberry Milkshake: It's so wonderful to see you again!
 * Redberry: (off-screen chuckle before we cut to him) You girls wouldn’t want to forget your old man either! (Cranberry smiles before she embraces her father’s spirit)
 * Fragaria: Girls, we just wanted to say how proud me and your father are. We watched you every day, even when times were really tough like they were months ago.
 * Redberry: And even though we will never meet in the flesh, it’s a grand miracle that God has allowed our souls to communicate with you three, our own beautiful daughters.
 * Strawberry Shortcake: (smiling) Thank you, Dad. I always knew you would have faith in me no matter what.
 * Redberry: Ah you’re welcome girls! Now Apple, there is something I think your mother needs to talk to you about, it’s mostly about your friend Cherry Cuddler... (Pause) You know what? If this cuddler kid makes you truly happy, then your mother and I are all for it! (Chuckles) I’ll leave you three in privacy with your mother, while it is my time to fade. (He slowly begins to fade away)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Bye Dad!
 * Cranberry Milkshake: See you later Dad!
 * Fragaria: (Turns to her girls once her husband has fades) Your father and I knew that after the war, we knew you and Cranberry wanted to not only help your younger sister feel safe, happy, and welcome again, nurse her back to full health, and avenge all the birthdays and other celebrations that you and your friends missed because of that terrible war.
 * Apple Dumplin': That’s what I was so worried about.
 * Fragaria: (Kneels down to her youngest daughter with a sympathetic look) Apple, I understand how you feel, I loved your personality when you were a toddler, always wanting everything to feel loved in the world. I have a feeling that even when you’re my age, you’ll still be loved by all, especially by that one girl that I can tell you must be really close to. What was her name again, Cherry Cuddler? (Apple nods) And even though this is a few weeks late, I just wanted to say… happy birthday my youngest princess. (Tears fill Apple’s eyes before she joyfully embraces her mother, Strawberry wipes tears away from her eyes while Cranberry and the pets watch on with pride) It is my time to get going, sweethearts. I’d also love to wish you luck in the future, girls. (The three sisters, and their pets watch as their mother’s spirit fades away before another spirit appears from behind them, however, this one, is a wolf, but nobody will know who it is…)
 * Voice: Well, there’s my little berry. (Strawberry smiles with happiness.)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Gruffy? Is that… you? (She pauses for a bit and hugs the wolf’s spirit with her sisters joining her shortly after.)
 * Gruffy: Strawberry, Cranberry, it’s been a while since we’ve last spoken. And I must say, you two are raising Apple very well, and you really impress me.
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Thanks Gruffy. That means a lot to me.
 * Apple Dumplin’: I remember when I was first born, it was the night you died.
 * Gruffy: Yes. Even though my time on the Earth was limited, I am one with the heavens for all eternity.
 * Cranberry Milkshake: (Nods before speaking) How did you ever know we were in danger?
 * Gruffy: I have a direct pipeline to God. He and the angels guided me in my journey of caring for you and Strawberry. On this special day, a day that avenges the lost celebrations that you never got to have because of great terrors, I wish you the best in future adventures, and I will always watch over you, just like your mother and father do.
 * Apple Dumplin’: You knew our parents?
 * Gruffy: Yes, the night I passed away, they were the first two to greet me at the pearly gates, thanking me for raising your sisters until the end, which I should have admitted to when I spoke to the three of you on Strawberry's birthday. You may be the youngest, but I know you will be loved and supported by your older sisters and her friends. And I never knew you were… that close to your friend Cherry Cuddler. You must really enjoy her affections.
 * Apple Dumplin': I sure do! She’s without a doubt, my best friend and my true love!
 * Gruffy: (Chuckles warmly) You must really love her that much. (Apple nods in response.)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: I’ll always remember and love you Gruffy. You were one of the most special souls in my berry happy heart.
 * Gruffy: And so will I Strawberry. And now, I must head out, even though the celebrations are over, I desire to wish you the happiest of birthdays, and the best of luck in the future. (Begins to fade out. Once he’s fully gone, Apple looks at the old teddy bear, realizing that with the tag, the bear was indeed Strawberry’s, and hands the plush over to her.)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Is something wrong Apple?
 * Apple Dumplin': This was yours, Gruffy said this was his first gift to you? (Strawberry and Cranberry look at the tag)
 * Cranberry Milkshake: Yes, it was. But I’d like you to have it. It’s yours now. (Strawberry hands the bear back to Apple)
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Can I tell you something before we get ready for bed?
 * Apple Dumplin': Sure! What is it?
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Ever since you were born, Cranberry and I were determined to show as much love and affection as we could, and we knew we had to do what we can to make everything right, and now that the challenges of this berry special have been done, we finally get to rest. (Pulls her younger sister into a hug before letting her go. Apple yawns and heads to her bedroom, a few minutes pass, and Strawberry and Cranberry see that she's out cold.)
 * Cranberry Milkshake: (whisper) Yes! She's not having any troubles sleeping! Good night, Strawberry.
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Good night, Cranberry. (The two of them head to their bedrooms and we cut to the exterior of Strawberry's house, then we pan up to the night skies, where Fragaria, Redberry, and Gruffy look down one last time before the episode fades out.)

 * The True Story version of the episode "Down On The Farm" has the classic American song "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" which plays as a montage shows us what goes down on Caramel's farm on a daily basis. There is a second version used as a bonus music video.

 * Blueberry Muffin and Cranberry Clover, starting in "Cranberry Clover's First Love".

 * In "The Fate of All Strawberryland" Satan's defeat at the hands Strawberry Shortcake, results in the painful deaths of King Sugar Cube and Queen Fruit Punch, who both pulled a Heroic Sacrifice to let such a defeat happen.

Her following rampage on Porcupine Peak is terrifying. It is later recalled that Angel Cake insulting Blueberry during the episode Piece of Cake was Cranberry Clover's breaking point, causing him to lose trust in the Christs and develop a grudge against Angel (who tells everyone that it is a full on hatred against the whole of the Christ family, the Empire of Heaven, the Bible, and all that is God).

Selfless Wish

 * In Berry, Merry Christmas, when Santa Claus asks Strawberry what she wants for Christmas, she sobs because she's worried that she won't be able to find a gift for her boyfriend, Huckleberry. After reassuring her that things will be alright with Huck, he asks her just what it is that she wants, but she can't come up with anything other than that she wants to make sure all of her friends get good gifts. To further drive home the point, most kids have a Christmas list of things they want Santa to bring them for Christmas. What Strawberry calls her "Christmas list" is actually her list of things she plans to buy for her friends.
 * All that Randolph wants his whole life is the world at peace and to be free. His dreams are to put an end to the curse of Porcupine Peak, help his fellow animals realize the error of their lives, and expose Satan's plans while proving the innocence of the Hitler siblings.

 * They think we're little,
 * Just two tiny tots
 * But we’ll show them that we’re not too small
 * And we can do any, any, anything at all
 * 'Cause we’re not little
 * Not too little
 * Oh, no, we’re not
 * Watch how I can tie my shoes
 * Wait, I'll try again...
 * We know how to count to ten
 * One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight , nine, ten?
 * We do lots of big-girl things
 * Like run and jump and play
 * It's plain to see
 * We're practically
 * Grown up in every way
 * We’re not too little
 * Oh no we’re not
 * I wish they'd trust you
 * To stir the pot
 * 'Cause we'd show them that we’re not too small
 * And we can do any, any, anything at all
 * 'Cause we’re not little
 * Not too little
 *  Oh, no, we’re not 
 * We know fifty rainbow colors
 * Pink, blue, green, and red
 * I can take my big red ball
 * And bounce it off my head! Ow...
 *  Are you alright, Apple? 
 * I'm okay, Cherry!
 * We pick flowers like the grown-ups do
 * And roll downhill all day
 * And did I mention how we love
 * To run and jump and play
 * We’re not too little
 * Oh no we’re not
 * They treat us little
 * But we’re not a lot
 * If we show them that we’re not too small
 * They'll let us do any, any, anything at all
 * 'Cause we're not little
 * Not too little
 *  Oh, no, we're not 
 *  We can pick out our own clothes ourselves 
 *  We can wiggle our own toes ourselves 
 *  We can climb up on the couch ourselves 
 *  Make the pillows like a kangaroo's pouch ourselves 
 *  Then we can crawl inside ourselves, 
 *  Hugging each other close ourselves,

 * Licorice Whip: (disarms his whip with a narrow-eyed look) What's that? (Peppermint steps up, startling Strawberry.)
 * Peppermint: It’s nothing, because both of you are racist Nazis from a racist wasteland, you tried to take over the entire F-(BLEEP) world and rule with complete tyranny. I’m glad we destroyed your forces and won the war! And you know what you all are for the mass destruction? You are all Peculiar Purple Pieces of Nazi Porcupine SH-(BLEEP) (Most of the kids and pets burst into laughter as Peppermint begins laughing like a donkey herself as she taunts the villains while shaking and smacking her backside, with Cranberry Clover doing an Aside Glance with a "WTF?" expression.)

It takes her, Cranberry Clover, and Blueberry Muffin to stop him.

The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized

 * The episode Revolution's title event is violent of course.

The Show Goes Berrywood

 * Hooray for Berrywood!

The Talk

 * The plot of "When The Rivers Run Red".

It's only the night before that happens when the boys finally find out what means.

The Two Things I Don't Hate About You

The Von Trope Family

 * Pitterpatch Von Puppa in Super Berry Bros. 3

The World Is Just Awesome

 * The final shot of the "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" bonus music video.
 * The end of the episode "The Big Date"
 * The last shot of the entire series is Emperor Huckleberry, Empress Strawberry, Tom & Becky, Sid & Cranberry Milkshake, Princesses Apple Dumplin and Cherry Cuddler, and their pets looking over their global empire during a sunset. We see the spirits of Strawberry's parents one last time as their spirits watch from behind, they are also joined by Gruffy. What really sells the scene however, is hearing the narrator beginning to choke up while we hear the last of her lines. Regardless, this scene ends it all with a bang.

 * Super Berry Bros. 3
 * The Sweet Dreams Movie
 * Meet Apricot
 * Red Flag
 * Down On The Farm
 * The Good Lord's Salvation
 * Lights...Camera

There Are No Adults

 * While the occasional adult shows up, usually as a villain, none of the main characters have parents (if one doesn't count Fragaria, Redberry, Jesus, Mrs. Christ, or Gruffy). The True Story reveals why there are no parents.

Third-Party Peacekeeper

 * Strawberry Shortcake arranges a sleepover for this reason, and succeeds with almost everyone remembering their friendship. However, things go south berry quickly when tensions rise between Cranberry Clover and Angel Cake:
 * Narrator: However, things hadn't been looking good at all for Cranberry Clover and Angel Cake. There happened to be... for the lack of a better word, a pretty bad incident between the two... (Cranberry Clover catches sight of Angel Cake).
 * Cranberry Clover: "Excuse me, Strawberry, but what's she doing here?" (Silence)
 * Strawberry Shortcake (perplexed): Who?
 * Cranberry Clover: Angel Cake!
 * Angel Cake: Hey, she invited me too, you know! You shouldn’t be here. Luke 10:19 says ‘Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.’
 * Cranberry Clover (angry): I shouldn't be here?! I was invited too! You shouldn't be here, Miss "I'm-Better-Than-Everyone-Else-Because-I'm-The-Daughter-Of-Christ!"
 * Angel Cake: Oh, now you’re asking for it! You’re in league with the beast! You don’t care about my Grandpa’s word! You worship the devil!
 * Cranberry Clover: I do not worship the devil, you air-headed jerk! I've had enough of your bratty attitude, and your perfectionism!
 * Angel Cake: At least I have more fashionable hair than your True Blue's mop! (We hear a glass shattering sound as Jesus and God watch with disappointment)
 * Cranberry Clover: (gasps, gets even angrier) You did not just badmouth my girlfriend! At least she's nicer than you, Sour Mouth! If you don't have anything nice to say about her, SHUT UP!! Think about that, or are you too stupid to think about anything?
 * Angel Cake: What my grandpa has given me is nothing on you!
 * Cranberry Clover: Well, what He has given you, He can also take away! (Jesus and God watch in shame at what Angel has gotten herself into)
 * Jesus: (sigh) I had a feeling things would get ugly.
 * God: So did I, son. We’ll figure something out, we will be sure to put those Hitlers back where they belong. And we have a bigger problem.
 * Jesus: And what would this be, Father?
 * God: Their plan involves taking over the Land of Dreams, their plans are to steal the other dreams, and use the nightmares created as part of their forces to take over the world of Strawberryland, from Pearis, to Edinbrew, to basically the whole planet.
 * Jesus: That is indeed horrible. And from what I heard, his plan is to destroy all of Strawberryland, take over the world, rule with tyranny like North Korea, execute Strawberry Shortcake, capture everyone else across Strawberryland, and enslave them in hard backbreaking labor, as well as turn the planet into a complete wasteland like Porcupine Peak, essentially, Adolf Jr wishes to start the Fourth German Reich. Then, he will release a highly contagious pandemic which will go on the rise, and those infected are zombified and turn to merciless flesh eaters who also cause mass destruction. We will have no choice but to send an asteroid bigger than Jupiter to obliterate our last chance at a perfect world. Gather all of the angels. Tell all of Strawberry's friends, because we're gonna take back what's ours.
 * God: I will do so, my son.
 * Angel Cake: Everything has been a complete disaster! Berry fields have been destroyed, Berry Birds are amok and the son of Adolf Hitler is about to lead an army of porcupines into the decimation of our world! AN ABSOLUTE DICTATORSHIP! A GIANT PLANET WHICH IS BASICALLY A WASTELAND DICTATED BY KILLER PORCUPINES! (Lemon Meringue cowers behind Raspberry Torte)
 * Cranberry Clover: The only disaster I see here is YOU! (angrily walks toward the door)
 * Cranberry Milkshake: Wait, where are you going?!
 * Cranberry Clover: If that rotten girl's staying here, I'm heading to the Friendship Clubhouse!

Third-Person Person

 * Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler have this as toddlers.

This Is Unforgivable!

 * In Piece of Cake, after one insult too many toward his girlfriend Blueberry Muffin, Cranberry Clover outright refuses to forgive Angel Cake for doing so and ends his friendship with her.
 * In Red Flag, Randolph at first refuses to forgive Prankster for not letting Halo be friends with him because of his red glow.

This Makes Me Feel Angry

 * This line in Piece of Cake:
 * Cranberry Clover: You're right, True Blue; but it's berry hard for me to stay calm with Angel Cake here, my love! I'm still berry mad at her!

Throne Room Throwdown

 * Super Scarlet's battle with Queen Lilac in Super Berry Bros. 3

To The Tune Of

 * Several songs are parodies
 * Glorious as Strawberryland is set to Scotland the Brave.
 * Heifer of Strawberryland is set to Flower of Scotland.

Tomboy

 * In "Super Berry Bros. 3", Queen Red of Fizz Land, played by Peppermint Fizz, is the only queen to not wear a feminine outfit.
 * While there is a fair helping of tomboys, the athletic Raspberry Torte is the biggest example.

Tomboy and Girly Girl

 * The close friendship between Raspberry Torte (Tomboy) and Lemon Meringue (Girly Girl).

Tonight, Someone Dies

 * The rebels of Porcupine Peak make it their ultimate goal to kill Lord Purple in Revolution.

Took a Level in Jerkass

 * The Purple Pieman has been made into the bloodthirsty, vicious, diabolical, murderous son of the late Adolf Hitler, who attacks the world Strawberryland for blood and genocide and later turns into a ruthless crook showing no pity to those who get in his way. This results in the countless defeats throughout the series.
 * Angel Cake in Season 4, depending on the episode, to the point of even playing the villain in "Sleeping Beauty" and having a hostile, evil, alter ego known as Devil Crud.
 * Strawberella's step-family does this, though Angel Cake tells Ginger Snap and Orange Blossom to do this for the Cinderella play after she catches them acting Out of Character, defying Adaptational Nice Guy for Cinderella's wicked stepsisters (whose role Ginger Snap and Orange Blossom are playing) in "The Play's The Thing". She tries to tell Blueberry Muffin to do this, but an angry Cranberry Clover tells Angel Cake to switch roles with Blueberry.

Took A Level In Kindness

 * Peppermint Fizz starts out as a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold in Season 2, and slowly mellows out in Seasons 3 and 4.1
 * Foreman Poke and Captain Cackle in The Escape and The Good Lord's Salvation.

Trademark Favorite Food

 * Cranberry Clover's favorite foods are the muffins and anything else his girlfriend Blueberry Muffin makes.

Train Problem

 * In "Queen For a Day", Sour Grapes I and Strawberry are competing to be the Queen of the World. As part of the competition, they are asked numerous questions by Purple Pieman, who is rigging the quiz. Pieman asks Strawberry a very difficult train question, which is so complicated that he eventually just skips it altogether. Cranberry Clover asks an extra question to compensate.
 * Pieman: If a train leaves the station at 3:48 in the afternoon, headed west, going 43 miles an hour for the first hour, 56 miles an hour for the second half hour, then stops at 5:11 to pick up 3 passengers, but 12 passengers get off, and one hour later 5 passengers get off and 5 get on, but not the same five, then stops three times in one hour and arrives at 9:28 PM?

Train-Station Goodbye

 * Actually a Dock-Station Goodbye, but in The Mystery of Seaberry Shore, Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin share a hug before the latter leaves for the titular beach. Cranberry Clover sheds a tear over being separated from her, which Blueberry wipes away; right before she leaves he also gives her a heart-shaped locket with his picture in it, while he has one with hers in it:
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Of course I'll help! Friends help friends! But Seaberry Beach is berry far away, but I know a friend who can help us get there in no time. (We cut to Punch Bowl Pond, where Rainbow Float is)
 * Narrator: And low and behold, Strawberry knew exactly who she was talking about.
 * Rainbow Sherbet: Coco Calypso needs help? Count me in, matey! The good ship Rainbow Float be at yer service!
 * Blueberry Muffin: (indicating the books) And I love a good mystery. Can I come, too?
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Sure! We'll need all the help we can get to solve this mystery. And you know what they say.
 * Papaya Parrot: (confused) What’s that?
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Mystery loves company.
 * Blueberry Muffin: I've heard about that Strawberry. And whatever's happening to Coco, it's one mystery I hope we solve!
 * Strawberry Shortcake: I hope we solve it too! I'm sure Coco will be happy to let us!
 * Cranberry Clover: But... True Blue, I thought we had plans.
 * Blueberry Muffin: (Sympathetically) Sorry Lucky, we might have to postpone that date since I'll be gone for a while.
 * Cranberry Clover (sad, voice breaking): (as he hugs Blueberry) I'll miss you, my love!
 * Blueberry Muffin: (returning the hug) I'm gonna miss you too, but I'll only be gone for a few days.(Cranberry Clover sheds a tear, which Blueberry Muffin wipes away)
 * Cranberry Clover: I have something for you and I hope you love it. (pulls out a heart-shaped locket, Blueberry smiles and reaches out to grab it)
 * Blueberry Muffin: (admiring the locket) Wow... this is so beautiful!
 * Cranberry Clover: I'm glad you love it, and I have one of my own too. I also have a special surprise inside both of ours. (opens his locket and reveals a picture of Blueberry inside) Inside your locket is a picture of me: whenever we miss each other, we can look inside and know we'll always be there right beside one another. I know you have to leave, but in the words of Shakespeare, "Parting is such sweet sorrow."
 * Blueberry Muffin: I promise you, Lucky: I'll be home before you know it! This locket is absolutely amazing! I love it. (She and Cranberry kiss each other on the lips with Strawberry watching dreamily)
 * Rainbow Sherbet: Are you and Huck like this, Strawberry? You two are a couple?
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Well not really. I've mostly kissed him on the cheek.
 * Rainbow Sherbet: We should probably get going.
 * Strawberry Shortcake: Yeah, I agree! We need to help Coco as soon as we can!
 * Blueberry Muffin: I'll be back, Cranberry!
 * Cranberry Clover: Bye, True Blue! (Leaves the Rainbow Float)
 * Narrator: (Sighs dreamily) True love. (She then transitions to her normal voice) Anyways, it was about time that the four friends headed out. Now with good enough weather, Seaberry Shore was only an hour or two away.
 * At the end of The Friendship Club, Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler share a tearful hug.

Treasure Hunt Episode

 * Tropical Treasure Hunt

Trivial Title

 * "The Costume Party". The title has almost nothing to do with the episode’s plot, as it revolves around Rainbow’s arrival and Peppermint dismissing her for being different, but it comes from the prank Strawberry, the girls, and Cranberry Clover (albeit his costume is more masculine, but still indistinguishable) pull on her in the climax to teach her a lesson.

 * Brambleberry Fairy: An Angelberry fairy?
 * King's Piper: Aye! She could be a great advantage to dae fairies! Though if we want to find her, might have to set out on an adventure.
 * Princess Strawberry Rose: I'm sure Mom and Dad would suggest I don't stray too far away.
 * Prince Huckleberry: That could the case, but if there is an Angelberry fairy, I think we know who will go out there to find out for us... (he and the others turn to Super Syrup)
 * Super Syrup: (A wide smile forms on her face as she adjusts her hat.) Why didn't ya say so! Let's go! (She bolts out the door, jumping to hit a red box which spits out a large peppermint leaf, she grabs the leaf, which dissolves in her hands and makes her grow a fox's ears and tail, she gets a running start and jumps into the air) Whoo-hoo! (She begins flying by using the tail and ears to propel her into the air, the episode turns to a still image of her in flight with Brambleberry's house in the background and we fade out.)

 * Unlike all the others who get all the fame
 * If your berries are in trouble, you can call her on the double
 * She’s faster than the others and can take down another!

Wanting Is Better Than Having

 * The point of the "Waiting for the Fun to Start" song.

 * While you're waitin' for the fun to start...

War Is Hell

 * Princess Blue has gone missing, and I have a feeling something is up...
 * An Anonymous Deity
 * In "Piece of Cake":
 * Cranberry Clover: From this day on, Angel, you're no longer my friend!
 * In The Sweet Dreams Movie
 * ??: Think me as veak as the others? I think not! I haff... vait, vho are you?


 * In "Red Flag":
 * Prankster: Now if there's one thing that I'd like to make very plain, there's no filly of mine that is going to be seen with a colt who has a shiny red glow!
 * In "Back in The Saddle"
 * Peck: Not even spiritual figures are perfect, Cranberry. Even they can lose sight!
 * In "Sleeping Beauty".

Whole-Plot Reference

 * The Super Berry Bros Trilogy is based on Super Mario Bros. 1, Lost Levels, and Super Mario Bros. 3
 * Around the Berry Big World is Around the World in 80 Days, David Seville in The Chipmunk Adventure, and World Wars I and II.
 * Cinderella, Super Mario Bros. 3, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, and The Wizard of Oz all got entire episodes built around them.
 * Angry Animals is based on Angry Birds.

Whoopee Cushion

 * Cranberry Clover plays this prank on Angel Cake at the tea party rehearsal in Mind Your Manners.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?

 * Cranberry Clover has had a berry severe case of Cynophobia (fear of dogs) since his fifth birthday, as revealed in his debut episode, "Introducing Cranberry Clover." He conquers this fear at the end of the episode.
 * If "Ginger Snap's No-Light Night of Fright" is anything to go by, Ginger Snap has Nyctophobia, which explains why she was willing to skip Strawberry Shortcake's campout and brought a bunch of lights upon being dragooned. Blackberry Bun helps her with this.
 * "Recovery" happens the day after the war in "Around the Berry Big World" ends. The two biggest factors are Apple Dumplin being the most traumatized of them all given that she's EIGHT years old, and was one of the birthdays missed because of the war. God and his allies of course come to the aid of the girls to avenge what was missed.

Wicked Stepmother

 * In The Play's The Thing, this role is initially played by Blueberry Muffin, but when Angel Cake interrupts the Cinderella play and says that Blueberry acting out of character spoils the story, an angry Cranberry Clover tells Angel to play the role (which Jesus tries to overturn, but SOMEHOW fails):
 * CC (angry): If you're so concerned about the story, Angel Cake, you be the wicked stepmother: you're self-centered enough for that role!

Wicked Witch

 * In the Wizard of Oz special Sour Grapes took this role, with Plum Puddin' as Glinda.

Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises

 * Cranberry Clover, at first sight of Pupcake in Introducing Cranberry Clover.
 * Randolph has these when he is asked to join the Gliders for premiere night in Lights… Camera…

Wild Teen Party

 * Throughout Recovery, we are told that Blueberry Muffin, Cranberry Clover, Cherry Cuddler, Raspberry Torte, Watermelon Kiss, Lemon Meringue, Rainbow Sherbet, Banana Candy, and Apple Dumplin's birthdays happened during the war in the previous episode, so Cranberry Milkshake and Strawberry Shortcake team up with God, the Land of Dreams, and the Kingdom of Heaven to do SOMETHING about the birthdays and other celebrations that they missed because of the horrendous war. The result is a wild party almost like this (given most of the girls are sixteen, which is a transition age, this party of course removes forbidden things such as alcohol.)
 * This sets the scene for the song "No Wars Will Stop Us Singing."

Wingding Eyes

 * Cranberry Clover gets hearts in his eyes every time he sees Blueberry Muffin.

With Due Respect

 * When Huckleberry gives his idea in "Playing to Beat The Band"
 * Jesus: Now with all due respect Huckleberry, it does not comes off as a good idea to trick your friend like that. It could fall apart quickly. I've always been one for pure talent.
 * Angel Cake: I'm with you on this Dad.

Wrench Wench

 * Ginger Snap

You Are Better Than You Think You Are

 * Strawberry gives Apple Dumplin' this in Win Some, Lose Some

You Can't Go Home Again

 * Foreman Poke does this as he leads all of the minors out of Porcupine Peak in "The Escape".
 * As all the residents of Porcupine Peak abandon the wastelands, The Gliders, following Lord Purple's death, would set out on their own in "Revolution" while bringing the other animals (their relatives and friends) and carrying the Hitler siblings out of the wasteland they spent most of their horrible lives.
 * (The Gliders are hooked up to the cart by Strawberry while the injured Pie Man and Sour Grapes I, along with all injured animals, climb aboard.)
 * Patriot: So what's the plan?
 * Crasher: It's over after this guys. Once we're out of this wasteland, we are not coming back.
 * Dobbin: But somebody's going to recognize us and tell the police that we have Adolf and Sheila in the cart! We're gonna have to leave them here to die!
 * Dixon: We're not going to. It doesn't matter. We're leaving, and we're doing what it takes to find freedom. Even if they do find us and our masters get executed, we’ll be free.
 * Crasher: We only have one chance to leave Porcupine Peak once and for all.
 * Dobbin: I know how you feel, is everyone still on the wasteland gathered around?
 * Prankster: Well not Halo, she set out to find where Randolph is.
 * Dobbin's niece: I seriously can't believe what happened. The other day when we saw Hitler himself, we realized how bad life was!
 * Nixon: I sure wish Randolph was here, he'd be so happy we're choosing to find greener pastures. He's probably enjoying himself.

You Did Everything You Could

 * In Playing to Beat the Band, after Peppermint agrees to join the band:
 * Huck: Um Strawberry, about what I did yesterday...
 * Strawberry: I know you tried Huck. We've been together for seven years now, but I'm glad you realized what you did wasn't right.
 * Huck: (Nervously) Yeah, I felt pretty terrible for disappointing you. Can we still be together even after that?
 * Strawberry: Well of course we can! I'm berry happy that you were able to realize your wrongdoings. One thing I need to point out is that even couples need to learn from their mistakes, just like you did. (She kisses him on the cheek while lifting her left leg.)

You, Get Me Coffee

 * In "Festival of the Fillies," Raven is eager to help Licorice Whip; Licorice orders him to get him lunch.
 * Polly N. Saturated, like Raven, is eager to help Cranberry Clover; unlike Licorice Whip, Cranberry Clover always asks her berry nicely.

You Had Us Worried There

 * After the gang, along with the reformed Foreman Poke and Captain Cackle, have finished setting up the new homes for the refugees led by the latter two, Jesus and Mrs. Christ speak to Angel Cake.
 * Mrs. Christ: We were so worried about you Angel. I couldn't figure out why you were so anxious.
 * Angel Cake: Well, now that we know it was due to the visions I had yesterday evening, I can finally rest easily, knowing some of the most oppressed souls are finally free!
 * Jesus: Seeing you happy fills me with complete pride.

You No Take Candle

 * Apple Dumplin' and Cherry Cuddler speak like this as babies since they are so young.

Your Favorite

 * It's impossible for Blueberry Muffin to not remember Cranberry Clover's favorite foods: anything she makes is his favorite!
