The episode "Smoke Detectors"<ref>The pups have to try and get Cruella to stop smoking so she can move back to her house instead of living with them because the fire from her cigarettes burnt down parts of her house from smoking and sleeping at the same time</ref>, on the other hand, falls right under this.

* [[Fan Dumb]]: After the release of the live-action version, people rushed to get Dalmatians as pets. Dalmatians are highly energetic and need plenty of room and time for exercise, and are prone to hearing problems. Many of the Dalmatians adopted during this craze ended up surrendered to shelters or dumped.

Of course, she is perfectly willing to bite Cruella or the Badduns, but she justifies that on the grounds that they aren't really human (and in Cruella's case, at least, she may be right, as the book does take the liberty to imply [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane|that her last name might just be meant literally....]])

** A very important example that combines with [[Fridge Horror]]. She's ordered her henchmen to kill puppies and in the most painful ways possible to have them skinned into a fur coat which is scary enough; now, consider the following: it's implied they were her ''regular employees'', so they do work for her ''all the time'', but acquiring fur illegally -- by ''stealing and killing puppies'' -- IS the only work ''she ever gives them'', and we are shown that she already had about ''fifty'' fur coats made up by the time the police caught her. Oh, God, those poor hundreds of puppies...
*** Of course, all but Pongo and Perdita's litter were actually bought and paid for. Doesn't excuse the killing of those poor puppies, but it does seem to lighten the blow just a wee bit.
** Just look Pongo and Perdita's faces when they are facing off Jasper and Horace. They don't look so sweet anymore...

Revision as of 15:14, 23 June 2018


  • Adaptation Displacement: The Disney movie.
  • Creator's Pet: Spot is mostly disliked because she's a main character and Ensemble Darkhorse Two-Tone isn't (or Patch, thus filling out the four characterized puppies from the original book.)
  • Ear Worm: Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil... if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will...! Arguably justified in its catchiness in that Roger's a musician.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Two-Tone.
    • In the animated film Sgt. Tibbs was quite popular, possibly for being almost Keet and subverting Cats Are Mean.
    • Patch, through and through. 95% of all merchandise features him.
  • Family-Unfriendly Aesop: You should never give a second chance to anybody. He will most probably become evil again if he's anywhere near the Big Ben, anyway.
  • Foe Yay: Cadpig and Mooch had this going on for a while.
  • Hell Is That Noise: Mr. Skinners wheezing.
  • Love to Hate: Cruella.
  • Memetic Mutation: "I'll get even! Just wait! You'll be sorry, you fools! You... YOU IDIOTS!!!" (SLAM!)
  • Misaimed Fandom: Many fur fans actually like Cruella, especially the animated version, for her huge fox coat. And a lot of the mentions of fur, like sleeping between ermine sheets in the book, often just seem like a sybaritic Pretty in Mink.
  • Moral Event Horizon: In-story, Missus claims that biting a human is always this for a dog. Of course, she is perfectly willing to bite Cruella or the Badduns, but she justifies that on the grounds that they aren't really human (and in Cruella's case, at least, she may be right, as the book does take the liberty to imply that her last name might just be meant literally....)
  • The Scrappy: Lt. Pug. Nobody, we mean NOBODY likes this Jerkass.
    • And Dumpling, Mayor Pig's spoiled daughter.
      • One episode did portray Dumpling in a somewhat positive light and she did save Cadpig. So maybe she could be excused from this. Pug gets not such redemption, though.
    • Swamp Rat goes in and out of this at times for also being a Jerkass but unlike Pug, Jeff Bennett's voice acting for this character makes him funnier and less grating.
  • Sequelitis: Patch's London Adventure makes this the third version to have a sequel. But as far as Disney sequels go, it's one of the better ones.
    • Played straight with the live action 102 Dalmatians.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: Polly, with his blue collar.
    • From the TV series, how many here didn't know Spot the Chicken was a female until her gender was actually mentioned?
  • The Woobie: This varies, but Rolly and Spot usually qualify for this.
