Night Court/YMMV

• Crazy Awesome: Harry.

(Having trapped a rival prankster judge in a giant balloon) "Cleaver, you may be younger. You may be faster. You may even be smarter. But you will NEVER, EVER, be crazier... [pulls out a giant pin] than me."

• Epileptic Trees: One popular theory among fans of Night Court and Cheers is that Harry Stone is an alias for con-man Harry The Hat and the reason for the latter character disappearing from Boston for the better part of a decade was that he was busy running a long-con playing judge in New York City. The Cheers writers actually alluded to this when the Harry the Hat character appeared on that show after Night Court began. Someone asked where he'd been, and he replied, "I got a night job.".
  • Of course there's also a theory running in the opposite direction that Harry the Hat is an alias for Judge Harry Stone who is attempting to pull the world's greatest prank by posing as a two-bit con man.
• Flanderization: Dan, from a Deadpan Snarker who had good luck with the ladies into a full-on Chivalrous Pervert.
  • Bull, who went from a Genius Bruiser to a Cloudcuckoolander with increasingly infrequent moments of being a Genius Ditz.
• Nightmare Fuel Vanity Plate: This played after the closing credits after the second season, and was only used for Night Court. This troper remembers this show more for the horrifying laughter in the closing logo than for the show itself.
• Tear Jerker: Quite a few, the first episode after Selma Diamond's death has an especially poignant one.
