Sugar Bowl: Most episodes are about Stampy and his Helpers building bright, happy, colourful things, or designing and playing fun games, but it sometimes gets Darker and Edgier when HitTheTarget (and later, Veeva Dash) are involved. It's a Small Ride: Stampy builds a ride called 'It's a Lovely World' in the Funland, filled with statues of his friends. Always For The First Time’ is André Breton’s ode to a woman he has not met, but is willing to wait every day for. Breton was the French founder of the surrealist movement, which aimed to blur the lines between dreams and reality in art — explaining the rather whimsical nature of this beautiful love poem. 8. "Love and Friendship" by Emily Brontë Simple, yet Awesome: Stampy's bedroom has a fairly simple design, even for something first built in 2012, but has since become one of the most iconic and easily recognizable builds in the Minecraft community. Its destruction by HitTheTarget in Episode 733, "Christmas Invasion", sparked a lot of outrage. Extended Disarming: Episode 100, "Cat to the Future" has Stampy forcing Hit the Target to drop all forms of weapons he has. Granted, it's Minecraft, so it doesn't really give the impression of him carrying a ridiculous amount of items, but the scene was no doubt inspired by this trope.

In Episode 320, "Sleepy Stampy", Stampy eats a cake infused with a sleeping potion, and warns Lee Bear not to touch the slice he hadn't eaten. At the end of Episode 355, "Friends and Foes", William Beaver eats the last slice before Stampy could warn him and falls asleep. Spinning Out of Here: A variation. How Stampy's teleporter works involve him pressing a button to reappear in a different teleporter, i.e. a bit like a lift/elevator. The teleportation motion involves the user spinning in a circle. In Episode 92, "The First Cake", future Stampy from Episode 100 ("Cat to the Future") arrives Just in Time to distract Hit The Target from Ep92!Stampy. Both Episodes 261, "Christmas Rescue" and 575, "Polly-Bot" rely on kidnapping a trusted Helper (the latter coupled with a robotic imposter to lower suspicion). In Episode 261, "Christmas Rescue", the Lunar Friends save Stampy, Lee Bear and Barnaby from Hit The Target.Capture the Flag: The minigame 'Flower Power' is based on this. 'Spleef Chief' also has similar themes, but is combined with the popular Minecraft game 'Spleef' instead of PVP. Amazing Technicolor World: The Lovely World is built to be bright and colourful. Even though there are buildings made out of varieties of stone and wood, Stampy almost always ends up incorporating a splash of colour to the design so that the building doesn't appear dull. Just try looking out over the Lovely World from a high place at night. It's stunning. This is a plot point in Episode 375, "Evil Plan", where one of HTT and Veeva Dash's traps involve parkour as the only escape route from the lava pouring down from the ceiling to flood the room. Bears Are Bad News: In Episode 472, "Gate Crashers", it is revealed that HTT and Veeva Dash keep a polar bear and her cub in their fortress as guards, exploiting the Mama Bear trope. Space Episode: Episodes 85, "Trip to the Moon" and 474, "Christmas in Space" both involve travelling to the Moon.

From Episode 612, "Mystery Parrot", the red parrot symbolizes espionage up until Episode 624, "Helpless", when this is revealed. Stevie was another child who got viewers talking earlier in the show, as he was blown away by the surprise of rugby heroes Peter O'Mahony and Bundee Aki in the studio with him.Visual Pun: Many of the shops and minigames are built with this in mind. The 'iC Optician' has ice for windows, for one, and the ' Farmacy' is a pharmacy which is shaped like a barn. Spiders Are Scary: There is a dungeon under HitTheTarget's current fortress with a spider spawner. The residents of the fortress proceed to exploit this by using the spiders spawned from the place as guards. Continuity Nod: In Episode 702, "Can Beavers Swim?" (released in late May 2021), Stampy reveals that he rediscovered HitTheTarget's underwater base from Episode 165, "Ocean Adventure" (released in early February 2014) while preparing for a space to build his next minigame.

In Episode 355, "Friends and Foes", William Beaver shows up to help Stampy defeat the Wither that Veeva Dash and Hit The Target spawned. In Episode 733, "Christmas Invasion", HitTheTarget and Veeva Dash saw Stampy show up at the train fully geared up and armed, but they forgot to make him surrender said gear to them, which Stampy uses against them at the end of the episode. Bow and Sword in Accord: Both Stampy and Hit The Target wield both a sword and archery equipment. However, the former possesses an enchanted diamond sword and the latter uses a stone sword (sometimes plain diamond but rarely).

Success!

Identity Amnesia: When Stampy falls into a pit filled to the brim with soul campfires, his amnesia is so severe he doesn't even remember who he is.
