Adorkable: Nate, to a T.
- Dyllan, Nate's best friend, qualifies as well.
Aerith and Bob: Nate...Spidgewood.
Author Avatar / As Himself: Nate is based on creator Nate Spidgewood. Like, same look, same name, and all.

Big "NO!": Nate lets one out at the end of his bad dream in "Dreaming Blues", when a group of vicious wolves that chase him eat his legs.
Book Dumb: Nate really hates school work.
Butt Monkey: Nate himself.
Daydream Surprise: Happens at the beginning of "Dreaming Blues".
Deadpan Snarker: Dyllan.
- Duncan, Nate's other best friend.
Dont Go in the Woods: Nate ends up in a dark forest in his nightmare in "Dreaming Blues".
Double Take: Nate at the beginning of "The Return of the Hiya Pig", when he realizes the Hiya Pig snook into his house while calling him on the phone, after the camera slowly zooms out to reveal the Hiya Pig.
Dream Sequence: The plot device of "Dreaming Blues".
Dumb Blonde: Duncan.

Gentle Giant: Dyllan.
Hero Stole My Kart: In "The Return of the Hiya Pig", when Nate is chasing after his bike, he steals a random man's go-kart and promises he's just borrowing it. However, the man isn't amused at all, so he chases Nate for stealing his kart.
I Fell for Hours: Happens to Nate in the nightmare sequence in "Dreaming Blues", when his dad throws him out the house and into the forest. He even lampshades it by saying "Am I falling for hours now?!"
Incredible Shrinking Man: The premise of "Honey, I Shrunk a Teenage Boy". It was just an Imagine Spot, though.
Incredibly Lame Pun: Some of Nate's classmates, such as Dyllan and Duncan, are fond of using this (or a Stealth Pun in some cases) and following it up with their Share Phrase, "No, just kidding."
Jerkass: Nate.

The Joy of X
Large Ham: Nate.
- The Hiya Pig.

- However, Nate himself doesn't say it.
Shout Out: The knife fight between Nate and the Hiya Pig at the beginning of "The Return of the Hiya Pig" is a homage to Kill Bill.
- Also in the same episode, when the Hiya Pig puts on his rocket skates, he says "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night!".
Sibling Rivalry: Nate sometimes has fights between his brothers Nick and Jake.
- This is most prominent in the episode "Sibling Rivalry".
