Line 41:
* [[Conversational Troping]]: The bit where they watch Thunderbolt's show ([[Genre Savvy|"Ol' Thunder always wins!"]]).
* [[Cool Car]]: Cruella's car. A lot of people have put effort into trying to figure out what model it is.
* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: One of the fifteen (the eventual "Lucky") was apparently stillborn, leading Roger to get an idea, rubbing the pup to stimulate it to breathe.
** What did you expect? It's a Disney film! Lord forbid something actually ''die''.
* [[Cut Song]]: Some alternate songs about Cruella (one of which, "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQrEPETU6vQ The Creation of Cruella de Vil]," is full of [[Nightmare Fuel]]), a [[Drunken Song]] for Horace and Jasper, and some marching songs for the dogs' return to London.
Line 63:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Dimwitted henchman Horace actually guesses what the dogs are doing on two occasions by attributing to them human-level intelligence; however, both times this is dismissed by Jasper who says that "dogs ain't that smart."
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Roger's magazines, [[A Date With Rosie Palms|filled with attractive young women]]
** [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilliput_%28magazine%29:Lilliput chr(28)magazinechr(29)|Lilliput]] was a real-world magazine of humor, short stories, photography, and the arts. [[Word of God]] is that it was simply a graphic design magazine that featured the kind of art that inspired the style of film. According to [[The Other Wiki]], it was known for including what were for the time period daring photos of female nudes. Apparently it eventually merged with another magazine and later became explicitly pornographic.
** Cruella also lists a bunch of ways to kill puppies (poison them, drown them, bash them in the head).
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: Roger's pipe vs Cruella's cigarette with holder.
Line 86:
* [[Show Within a Show]]: "Thunderbolt".
** "What's My Crime?"
* [[Shout -Out]]: The [[Silly Symphonies]] short ''Springtime'' briefly appears on the TV the pups are watching.
* [[Suddenly Always Knew That]]: In the sequel, Thunderbolt uses his [[Brick Joke|dramatic death scene]] to distract Cruella and her lackeys while the puppies get away.
* [[Taught By Television]]: In the sequel, Patch has every episode of "Thunderbolt" memorized and uses the show's plots to first help Thunderbolt do "big hero stuff" and then to rescue his family.
Line 122:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: A G-rated sex scene consisting of clothes symbolically bursting into flames.
** In the first park scene with Roger and Pongo one of the dogs walking by is a bulldog with ''very'' large (and noticeable) testicles.
* [[Gross -Out Show]]: A pig farts in Cruella's face, she falls into a vat of molasses and is kicked by a horse into a pigsty.
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: Horace, though he's still blue and shivering in the next scene.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: The villains in both films end up getting this.
Line 153:
* [[An Aesop]]: In almost every episode. (Well, it ''is'' from most of the same writers and artists of ''[[Sabrina the Animated Series]]'')
* [[The Artifact]]: The prominent "One-oh-one"s in the theme song is apparently a holdover from when the show was going to be titled ''Dalmatians 101'' which they changed at the last minute.
* [[Author Guest Spot]]: Jim Jinkins appears in the final episode as the leader of a cult of alien followers. He also provides a [[Shout -Out]] by dressing up like his [[Author Avatar]], [[Doug]].
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Cadpig is usually sweet and innocent, but if she ever gets mad, watch out!
* [[Big Eater]]: Rolly, Dumpling, and Ed Pig.
Line 169:
** Not to mention the series contains Cadpig who appeared in the book, but was never mentioned in either the animated or live action movies.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: The Colonel.
* [[Cross -Dressing Voices]]: Lucky, Rolly and Wizzer are all male characters, but their voices are all provided by female actors: Pamela Segall Aldon (Lucky - later, Debbi Mae West), Kath Soucie (Rolly) and Christine Cavanaugh (Wizzer).
* [[Cultural Translation]]: The show is clearly set in the U.S. judging from the accents and the presence of a mailbox reading "US MAIL" at one point.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Cadpig.
Line 230:
* [[Picked Last]]: Lt. Pug picks Lucky and Tripod as team leaders for cohesian drils in one episode. Spot is the last picked and Lucky even tries to pick a bucket instead because she is a chicken and the rest are dogs. She gets her own back later in the episode, though.
* [[Pounds Are Doggy Prison]]: The pound that Cadpig gets sent to in "Cadpig Behind Bars" is situated on an island and actually does have cages with bars, a security card system to raise & lower the drawbridge, and a prison yard.
* [["Previously On..."]]: "Dalmatian Vacation", the three-parter.
* [[Punny Name]]: A three legged dalmatian has the name Tripod, and Cruella's relatives P.H. de Vil (a [[Mad Scientist]]) and Cecil B. de Vil (a film director). And, oh yeah, Spot.
* [[Rent-A-Zilla]]: Chockzilla, literally rented from an ad agency by Cecil B. de Vil to destroy the Dearly farm.
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Cruella De Vil.
* [[Road Sign Reversal]]: Occurs in the first episode to lure Cruella away from the three main puppies she's chasing after in her car.
* [[Scooby -Dooby Doors]]: Happens when Lucky, Rolly and Cadpig pursue Scorch in "You Slipped a Disk".
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Rebecca, for Lucky.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Lt. Pug will often panic in mundane situations that he mistakes for something much more serious.
* [[Shout -Out]]: In "Mall Pups," Lt. Pug is knocked into a basket of toys which includes a [[Toy Story|Woody doll]].
* [[Skunk Stripe]]: The De Vil family's hair color.
* [[Skyward Scream]]: Rolly in "Chow About That?" "We... missed... LUNNNNCH!!!"
