Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid: Difference between revisions

 

=== Tropes associated with this series: ===

* [[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.

* [[Dogface]]: his look in [[Tiny Toon Adventures]].

* [[Everything's Better With Monkeys]]: Done with the baby monkeys in "Congo Jazz".

* [[Flat Character]]: Moreso with his successor Buddy, though.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Done by a ''[[Non-Mammal Mammaries|palmtree]]'' in "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]]!

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: The aforementioned quote from "Bosko's Picture Show."

* [[Public Domain Animation]]: All of the shorts prior to "Ride Em, Bosko!" are [[Public Domain]].
