Line 25:
** Rene Fromage's "Love's Not For Me" is the other big one.
* [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome]]: Barbara Warblers, one of the commentators, has this.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Llamas]]: One of the soccer teams is a South American pack of llamas.
* [[Everythings Funkier With Disco]]: "Go For It," set in the Noah's Ark disco.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Count Maurice Boardeaux.
Line 36:
** Brenda Springer was fairly shapely in that area as well.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Like you wouldn't believe, verbally ''and'' visually. The closed captioning even goes out of its way to [[Don't Explain the Joke|explain some of them]].
* [["I Am" Song]]
* [["I Want" Song]]: René's "Love's Not For Me" is sort of an ''inverse'' [["I Want" Song]] from the lyrics alone, but the visuals during the number make it more clearly one of this type.
* [[Inelegant Blubbering]]: Ilsa Blintz when she gets a 4.5 on the vault. Also Count Maurice Boardeaux, when The Contessa beats him in fencing.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: A number of them: Kit and René [[Carnivore Confusion|most obviously]], but also a husband-and-wife figure-skating team who happen to be a lizard and a chicken, plus several hookups at the disco.
* [[Is This Thing Still On?]]: A silent example: When Bolt Jenkins watches his former hero utterly bung up the high jump, he looks at the camera with an amused smirk, before realizing he's supposed to be looking determined.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: One of the commentators isn't afraid of letting the loser of the boxing match know that he's let down his coach, family, country, and ''himself''. The bull actually starts ''crying''.
{{quote| Rugs: And now, you can let ''me'' down. (Cut to wide shot, Rugs is standing on the bull's head).}}
Line 49:
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The Asian freestyle swimmer, [[Punny Name|Ono Nono]].
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Several of the commentators reference famous celebrities -- one of them, inexplicably, is a tortoise with the accent (and eyeglasses) of Henry Kissinger.
* [[Not -So -Innocent Whistle]]: The head of the Rats soccer team after swapping medals with the head of the Dogs.
* [[Parody Commercial]]
* [[Petting Zoo People]]
Line 56:
* [[Pop Star Composer]]: Graham Gouldman from the group 10cc, which made the charts a couple of times, so it counts.
* [[Ridiculympics]]: The entire show is based on this trope.
* [[Shout Out]] / [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: Barbara Warblers' voice actress was Gilda Radner, who had often played Barbara Walters (or "Baba Wawa") in the same manner on [[Saturday Night Live]]. Billy Crystal's Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell imitations were also part of his act long before this film.
** Also, the basketball-playing cats are a homage to the [[Harlem Globetrotters]].
** Bolt Jenkins was [[The Importance of Being Earnest|"born as a handbag"]]<ref>A pun on "Born ''in'' a handbag</ref>
Line 69:
* [[Unnecessary Roughness]]: Certainly the ice hockey game. There's probably some elsewhere, too.
* [[Water Works]]/[[Ocular Gushers]]: Dorrie Turnell in general.
* [[What's a Henway?]]: Lampshaded. "This reminds me of the old joke, 'how much does a Grecian urn?' but [[Lampshade Hanging|you've probably heard it]]."
* [[Wheel of Feet]]: During the 100 Meter Dash, the contestants first show this, then [[Up to Eleven|take on the characteristics of drag-racing cars]]--complete with arms turning into exhaust pipes, bodies into engines, and releasing parachutes to stop them.
