Tropes In The True Story of Strawberry Shortcake

All Tropes In The True Story of Strawberry Shortcake

A Wild Rapper Appears!

 * Fried Chicken does this in a few of the songs if Orange Blossom is a core vocalist in the song.

Accidental Hand-Hold

 * Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin in Piece of Cake.

Adaptational Karma

 * Self-inflicted example. The Brambleberry Fairy is quite depressed seeing the results of her malevolent work and regrets what she did.

Adaptation 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.

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 book 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'). 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); because of this, her role as a Berry Fairy is replaced with new character Tangerinaberry Fairy (Tangerina Torta).

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.



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.

Alpha Bitch

 * 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.
 * 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.

And There Was Much Rejoicing

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.

Animal Stampede

 * There is a stampede of porcupines in "How it All Began" that baby Strawberry gets stuck in. Luckily, Gruffy rescues her.
 * The Gliders in the Sweet Dreams Movie as they damage the villains' equipment before it explodes.
 * 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 Carmel'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.
 * The fire started by Foreman Poke has all the animals flee Porcupine Peak in The Escape

Annoying Laugh

 * When taunting the defeated villains in The Sweet Dreams Movie, Peppermint laughs like a donkey.

Anywhere But Their Lips

 * Almost every time 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.
 * Playing to Beat the Band: She gives one to Huck as a thanks for realizing his wrongdoings after Peppermint finally masters the trumpet and agrees to join Strawberry Jam's performance at the festival.

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.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence

 * Even in death, Gruffy, Strawberry's parents, and Jesus and Mrs Christ are able to communicate to the others.

Aside Glance

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

Ask a Stupid Question

 * 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!

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.

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

Beach Episode

 * The Mystery of Seaberry Shore and The Legend of The Lost Treasure

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 considers him an honorary younger brother.
 * Happens in "Everybody Dance" to Sour Grapes I. She disguises herself as a dance instructor to keep the kids busy so she and the other villains can 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.
 * Happens with Licorice Whip in "Horror of the Horses" after Mocha Chiffon and Blackberry Rose save him. He fights in the war on Strawberry's side in "Around the Berry Big World."

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 Gruffy gets caught in in "How it All Began" proves it when the head porcupine who is said to be Foreman Poke's father, is chased out of the incident.
 * 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 snaps at the villains in "The Sweet Dreams Movie" after they kidnap the Sandman, which reveals that the Dastardly Duo are the children of Adolf Hitler.
 * Just before she turns into Devil Crud, Angel Cake just about loses it in when she thinks about the minors of Porcupine Peak being killed in "A Weeping Angel."

Berserker Tears

 * These spray (as lava) out of Devil Crud's eyes as she annihilates the Purple Pie Man.

Big Brother Instinct

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

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.
 * Several between the confirmed couples in Around the Berry Big World upon God's declaration of victory.

Big Damn Reunion

 * Jesus and Angel Cake near the end of "The Sweet Dreams Movie"
 * 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, and siblings with each other.
 * "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 decipher the code words.

Birthday Buddies

 * Actually a Birthday Couple, but Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin were born simultaneously on July 11th.

Birthday Episode

 * A Berry Happy First Birthday
 * Supreme Sixteenth
 * Recovery
 * Bitter and Sweet

Blood-Splattered Warrior

 * Devil Crud is slowly covered in blood as her rampage progresses.

Bloody Horror

 * This is what Devil Crud leaves behind before the holy water splashes her.

Blush Sticker

 * The characters on the show have permanent blush stickers, except for the animals and villains.

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.

Brave Scot

 * Cranachan, who is from what was once Scotland.

Breaking the Bonds

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

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)

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 when she reveals why she's terrified during the first parts of Recovery. Worst part, she doesn't stop crying. At least until Strawberry sings.

Brother–Sister Team

 * The Pieman and Sour Grapes 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 "an undying hatred for the ENTIRETY of the Christ empire".

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 sneaks into planet Strawberryland and SOMETHING gets him and his sister, along with anyone related to him exiled to Porcupine Peak.
 * Sweet Dreams: His super weapons explode, his army is injured, his plans to take over the world 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: 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 friend, 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)

Canon Foreigner

 * Countless new characters were made for the purpose of extension.

Cardiovascular Love

 * Strawberry and Huck when they first meet each other.
 * Cranberry Clover's heart beats out of his chest the picosecond he lays eyes on Blueberry Muffin in "Cranberry Clover's First Love"
 * Cranberry Clover and Blueberry Muffin radiate these during their kiss in "The Sweet Dreams Movie."

Casting Gag

 * The Angry Animals (excluding Ham and Bacon) are voiced by those from the Angry Birds duology.

In season 1...

 * How it All Began...
 * Fragaria, Redberry, and several unnamed people are killed in Satan’s purge
 * It is implied that the king before Sugar Cube took the throne was bludgeoned to death by one of Satan's minions as revenge for banishing the Hitlers.
 * Gruffy dies of old age, and he is the only one to not be killed by any means.

Cheaters Never Prosper

Cinderella Plot

 * In "The Play's the Thing", everyone makes fun of Strawberry's raggedy raincoat. Then, they put on a Cinderella play and learn about how it's the inside that makes you beautiful, not what you wear. Strawberry plays Cinderella. Blueberry Muffin (initially) plays the stepmother. Orange Blossom and Ginger Snap play the stepsisters. Angel Cake plays the Fairy Godmother, but she and Blueberry swap roles thanks to Cranberry Clover. Huckleberry Pie plays the Prince.

Cluster Bleep-Bomb

Deadpan Snarker

Death Is a Sad Thing

 * Near the end of How It All Began, Cranberry Milkshake helps Strawberry as she grieves over Gruffy's passing.
 * In The Fate of Strawberryland, Strawberry weeps once King Sugar Cube drops dead.
 * What sells the scene is the lack of music, the background rain, and the only verbal sounds coming out of Strawberry while she cries sounding like heavily labored breathing.

Defeat Equals Explosion

Door Slam of Rage

Minor Insult Meltdown

 * Cranberry Clover goes verbally ballistic if anyone makes even the tiniest insult towards Blueberry Muffin.

Motor Mouth

 * Ginger Snap has a penchant for fast-talking.

Musical Exposition

 * Fresh Breath opens with Polly N. Saturated delivering a letter to her owner Cranberry Clover. The letter is from his honorary older sister Peppermint Fizz, saying she'll be arriving the next day.

The four sing about how she's been away for a while:

 * ‘Cause she’s been away for so long!
 * BM: Yes, she’s finally returning
 * She’s Peppermint Fizz
 * His Honorary Sister looks alive

 * All four: She’s been off to take on the world, but the finish is berry near
 * CC and BM: This time tomorrow My (His) Honorary Sister
 * SS and RS: His Honorary Sister...
 * All four: ...will be here!

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 call herself out.
 * Rainbow Sherbet has this in The Sweet Dreams Movie after she hurts Cranberry Clover's feelings and makes him leave the clubhouse crying.

Mysterious Note

 * Lime "Light" Chiffon's director (and girlfriend) is named Julienne Brownie, using Grape Soda as a stage name; her makeup pro is named Eartha Kit-Kat, and her wardrobe manager is named Blackberry Bianca Heyward.

National Anthem

 * "Glorious As Strawberryland" is the national anthem of the planet of Strawberryland, set to the melody of Scotland the Brave. This recurring song was first sung by Strawberry Shortcake in "Peppermint's Pet Peeve." Every time it's sung, there's usually a music accompaniment, usually by a recording of an instrumental or a group of God's angels.

Near-Villain Victory

 * Lord Purple and his forces almost get the green light to unleash their fury and take over the world in Around the Berry Big World, when suddenly off screen, someone who is later revealed to be Pink Glaze Donut, who led an entire SWAT army, yells out:
 * Pink: "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 another attack. Luckily he doesn't get too far, because he 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.

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.
 * Nixon reveals that the villains' defeat in "Down On The Farm" was not caused by Randolph, who believed he caused it, given why he ran away at the end of the episode.

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-Holds-Barred Beatdown

 * Devil Crud does this to everybody who tries to attack her during her attack on 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. Her final move is destroying the Purple Pieman himself with the goal of taking the fatheaded Hitler son's life.
 * Guess who survives, only to have his crummy base raided destroyed by Pink Glaze Donut in the following episode?

Non-Human Sidekick

 * Cranberry Clover in A Weeping Angel:
 * CC: Fry, I had nothing to do with whatever happened to Angel Cake, I swear!

Not Now, Kiddo

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

Ocular Gushers

 * In "Baby Takes the Cake," all of the babies in Apple Dumplin's Imagine Spot in which she's an adult wail and cry these when she 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" when 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 which technically still counts since her eyes can shoot fire like her mouth does. Second time after realizing the terror she caused as Devil Crud, these somehow erupt and spill out onto the floor, given that she bawls into her pillow.

(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. Fortunately, one of their friends who lives there and a few soldiers help them get back. The generals 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 Strawberry winning the war with ONE SECOND left.

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 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. Randolph uses his disguise to help sneak the animals back to Caramel's farm.

The Perfectionist

Rage-Breaking Point

 * In the episode A Weeping Angel, Angel Cake loses it after Porcupine Peak's chaos gets out of control and she realizes that the Pie Man has gone insane to the point that the children stuck on there will soon be killed, prompting her to turn into her murderous, bloodthirsty persona, Devil Crud. Her following rampage on Porcupine Peak is terrifying. It is later revealed that Angel Cake insulting Blueberry during the episode Piece of Cake was Cranberry Clover's breaking point, causing him to develop a grudge against Angel (who tells everyone that it is a full on hatred against the whole of the Christ family and the Empire of Heaven).

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.

 * Strawberry: It really isn't a secret. You just forgot to add the most important thing.
 * Licorice Whip: (a narrow-eyed look) What's that? (Peppermint steps up)
 * 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 as she taunts the villains while shaking and smacking her backside, with Cranberry Clover doing an Aside Glance with a "WTF?" expression)

It's only the night before that happens when the boys finally find out what it means.
 * Huck: Turns out that God meant...
 * (they look at what it says, beat, then the boys all exclaim thing such as "WHAT?!" and "OH, MAN!" and "OH, MY GOD!" and having various looks on their faces, ranging from cringed to shocked to disgusted)

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 last shot of the entire series is King Huckleberry, Queen Strawberry, and Princesses Apple Dumplin and Cranberry Milkshake looking over their global empire. We see Strawberry's parents one last time as their spirits and Gruffy's, watch from behind. The narrator actually chokes up while she gives off her last lines.

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:
 * (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!
 * (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 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!

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 doesn't want to forgive Prankster for not letting Halo be friends him because of his red glow.

 * 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.

Trademark Favorite Food

 * Cranberry Clover's is the muffins his girlfriend makes.

Train Problem

 * In "Queen For a Day", Sour Grapes 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?

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.

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 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.

Wild Teen Party

 * Knowing 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, 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) (without all the bad things of course).

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".
 * The Gliders, following Lord Purple's demise, would follow him 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 find us and tell the police that we have Adolf and Sheila! 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, Get Me Coffee
