Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: The obvious reaction to the 2011 comic book.

* [[Canon Fodder]]: Loads of it; for example, Gadget's past and the fate of her father has never been explored.

** And what about what happened between Monterey Jack and Gadget's father? Or what Monterey Jack was doing before he met the Rangers (and how exactly he got those "cheese attacks," because they don't seem to me to be something he got from his parents [both of which appeared during the show's run]).

** Gadget qualifies too. Disney was honestly surprised with her popularity.

** Tammy's gotten popular on the Internet.

* [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory]]: "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" and Hawaiian mythology. [[Evil Twin|Lahwhinie]] and [[Surfer Dude|Shaka Baka]] ''might'' remind you of Pele and Kamapua'a respectively.

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Lahwhinie, although she is basically the [[Evil Twin]] to Gadget. Also Desiree D'Allure.

* [[Fan Community Nickname]]: We're the Rangerphiles, [[Memetic Mutation|and proud of it!]]

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Battlesphere and Gyrotank, to list just a few, are names coined by fans as they remained unnamed in [[Canon]]. The same would apply to Chip and Dale's last names.

* [[Fanon]]: Chip ''Maplewood'' and Dale ''Oakmont'' was coined by Michael Demcio in ''Rhyme and Reason''; it's been used by pretty much every fanfic writer ever since.

** To lesser degrees, there are more examples such as Gadget's coffee addiction or Tammy as a nurse.

** When Lahwhinie appears in [[Fanfic]], she's related to Gadget (usually her [[Long-Lost Relative|long lost twin sister]]) more often than not.

*** Tammy as a nurse may have [[Ascended Fanon|become canon]], depending on how canonical one views the BOOM! comics.

* [[Ficdom]]: A few fans declared that they're bigger fans of the [[Fanfic]] than of the show itself.

* [[Follow the Leader]]: The comic book parodied this by having several knock-offs of the Rescue Rangers actually appear within the stories. The first group they encountered was revealed to [[The Mole|be working for Fat Cat]], though.

** Monterey Jack talked a lot like [[Crocodile Hunter|Steve Irwin]] already before the latter was even known outside Australia.

** And then there's "A Chorus Crime" which features [[Happy Feet|large quantities of penguins tap-dancing on the ice]].

* [[Internet Backdraft]]: Ranger War II, ''aka'' St. Valentine's Day Massacre 1998.

* [[Iron Woobie]]: Tom from the episode "Robocat" qualifies for this in spades.

** And then there are the episodes "Adventures in Squirrelsitting" and "Good Times, Bat Times" where even more people are [[Just Here for Godzilla|Just Here For Tammy]] and [[Just Here for Godzilla|Just Here For Foxglove]] respectively.

* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Gadget. It still causes [[Internet Backdraft]] sometimes.

** For a small group of beyond-hardcore fans in Russia, [http://www.toplessrobot.com/2010/08/russian_nerds_have_started_a_cult_around_gadget_ha.php this trope is literal]. They actually ''worship'' Gadget Hackwrench.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Seeing Fat Cat casually strolling through the Tower of London's torture chamber in "Ghost of a Chance" while trying to decide what he'll do with the captured Rangers, not to mention the thing he finally chooses. Also the Canterville Cat, {{spoiler|which is actually Fat Cat's henchmen in a costume, but still disturbing anyway.}}

*** Especially the end of the second act where {{spoiler|Chip looks above the entrance and sees the gigantic grinning and teetering elephant which was the final part of Cassandra's prediction.}}

** "Pound Of The Baskervilles" is also another good example of this.

** "Chocolate Chips", the episode with mosquitoes that turned people into zombies.

* [[Shipping]]: Chip/Gadget, Dale/Foxglove, et al. If there's even one hint of a ship in the series, someone's supported it somewhere in the fandom.

** In fact, even if it's never touched anywhere in the series, chances are good it can be found in [[Fanfic]], particularly thanks to the ''Untold Ranger Tales''.

* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]: There are a few humans in the show having conversations with animals, that is, both speaking to them and understanding their talk. Winifred from "Good Times, Bat Times" is the most famous example. There are discussions occurring from time to time, though, whether these are special cases of humans who can understand [[Animal Talk]] or whether all humans would understand it if animals actually talked to them because other situations in the show indicate the latter.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: When Gadget leaves the Rangers in "Case of the Cola Cult". You just can't see her cry.

** Dale also counts considering how much he's made fun of, and is hurt in the process.
