Tropes:
- Actor-Inspired Element: Some of her characters are seen playing ukulele, which Micucci herself is good at.
- The Cast Showoff: Tends show off her range in media she's in.
- Cute, but Cacophonic: Applies to some of her characters.
- Endearingly Dorky: Is prone to playing these types of characters.
- Genki Girl: Very upbeat, especially with her songs. Also applies to some of her characters.
- Heroes Love Dogs: Is fond of her dog Jack. She even wrote a song for him on his sixth birthday
. Some of her characters are also prone to this. - Hollywood Homely: Early in her career, Micucci got credits like "Less Attractive Girl". It'd probably fair to say that a lot of people would disagree with that assessment of her appearance.
- Quirky Ukulele: Sometimes played by her characters. Her appearance in Scrubs provides the page image.
- Those Two Girls: With Riki Lindhome, the other half of Garfunkel and Oates.
- Unfortunate Names: She's fully aware that her surname sounds like "my coochie", a slang word for "vagina." She even named one of her standup concert tours "Playing With Micucci".
