Line 14:
While the character has remained in limbo for many years, his cartoons rarely airing on TV, save for the earliest days of television (when the first package of ''Looney Tunes'' shorts were initially released to television) and on [[Nickelodeon]] in the late 80s and 90s, 25 of his 37 warners shorts have made their way into the [[Public Domain]], as well as the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series. The character also made a brief comeback in the ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' short ''Fields Of Honey''. (although he was slightly redesigned to look more like the dog-esque characters of the then upcoming ''[[Animaniacs]]'' show.) Buddy would also make an appearance in an episode of ''[[Animaniacs]]'', ''The Warners 65th Anniversary Special'', to get revenge on the trio, who in their universe were responsible for destroying Buddy's (in real life, non-existent) stardom. ([[Take That, Scrappy!|they were brought in to spice up his boring cartoons...]])

▲=== Noteworthy shorts the character has appeared in: ===
▲* ''Bosko The Talk-Ink Kid''
▲* ''[[Sinkin' In The Bathtub]]''
▲* ''Bosko's Picture Show'' <ref>If only for Bosko's alleged use of the f-word.</ref>
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Wilbur the Cat from "Bosko's Parlor Pranks", who really, really wants an ice cream cone.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Bosko and his girlfriend Honey could well be considered the early studios answer to Mickey and Minnie Mouse. (along with Foxy and Roxy from Merrie Melodies...) His dog Bruno is also a blatant ersatz of [[Pluto the Pup]].
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Bosko very rarely makes appearances in modern Looney Tunes artwork, and hasn't appeared in any cartoons since his redesigned cameo in ''[[Tiny Toons]]''. Understandably, this is due to his roots as a blackface character making him an unacceptable character to put into the mainstream today. It dosen't help that his esoteric nature compared to the mainstream [[Looney Tunes]] (due to his cartoons being off the air since the 80's), not to mention his [[Flat Character|vague personality]], do not make him a popular character among fans.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Understandably, if you're a modern Looney Tunes fan
* [[Dogface]]: his look in [[Tiny Toon Adventures]].
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Done with the baby monkeys in "Congo Jazz".
Line 124 ⟶ 120:
* [[Music Soothes the Savage Beast]]: Done by Bosko to a tiger in the beginning of "Congo Jazz".
* [[No Ending]]: Taken to the utmost extreme in "Ride Him, Bosko!". Just as Bosko is hot on of the trail of the kidnapped Honey, the film goes to Rudy Ising and his animators [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|get up and leave]] without resolving the [[Cliff Hanger]], obliterating the [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|fourth wall]] in a way that hints at later Warner Bros. more than contemporaneous Disney.
* [[Off with His Head]]: In "Hold Anything", Bosko ''decapitates a mouse with a saw'' -- and it's [[Played for Laughs]]!
* [[Pie-Eyed]]: [[Depending on the Artist]].
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: The aforementioned quote from "Bosko's Picture Show."
Line 130 ⟶ 126:
* [[Rhymes on a Dime]]: In "Ride 'Em Bosko", there's an exposition card which says "Red Gulch, where men are men, nine times out of ten."
* [[Stock Footage]]: A huge chunk of animation from the Warner Bros. shorts were retraced for the first two MGM Boskos, albiet colored.
* [[That's All Folks]]: By all accounts, he ''should'' be the [[Trope Namer]], as he technically said the lines first in "Sinkin' in the Bathtub", but for some reason it went to [[Porky Pig]] instead.
