'''''Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers''''' was one of several [[Animated Series]] in the syndicated "[[Disney Afternoon]]" block of the 1990s. It updated classic [[Walt Disney]] characters, much as ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' (the [[Donald Duck]]/[[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Uncle Scrooge]] comic book universe), ''[[Tale Spin]]'' (Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'') and ''[[Goof Troop]]'' (Goofy and Pete) also did. This one focused on updated versions of the mischievous chipmunks [[Chip and Dale]]. Originally, the series was actually going to be about [[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]], which would likely have departed from the books in favor of original content. However, when ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'' was green-lit for production, the series was redesigned into the one we all know and love.
 
Chip and Dale now led a team of [[They Fight Crime|crime-fighters]] called the "Rescue Rangers". The other members are Monterey Jack, or "Monty", a tough but lovable [[Land Down Under|Australian]] mouse with a weakness for cheese; Gadget Hackwrench, a [[Hair of Gold|blonde]] female mouse who was a [[Wrench Wench|skilled inventor and mechanic]] as well as both chipmunks' (and the [[Furry Fandom]]'s) unrequited love interest; and Zipper, a small fly (and Monty's best friend) who [[The Unintelligible|could not speak understandably]], but had unusual strength for his small size. The team lived in a tree in the park and saved the day from a variety of villains.

There was [[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (video game)|a Nintendo video game adaptation]], which was actually pretty good for a licensed game.
 
Boom! Studios [http://www.comicbookdaily.com/daily_news/boom-studios-announces-new-disney-title-at-panel/ announced] a continuation of the series in comic book form which began in December of 2010; this followed on the heels of the successful revival of ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'' as [[Darkwing Duck (comics)|a comic series]], which featured [[The Cameo|a cameo by Gadget]] in one issue that was likely a foreshadowing of things to come. The comic came to an end after two arcs (eight issues), and there is no word on a future continuation, either by Boom or by Disney-owned [[Marvel Comics]].
 
Completely unrelated to [[Chippendales Dancers]], as well as the 70s Saturday Morning cartoon [[Animated Adaptation|Lassie's Rescue Rangers]].
 
Tropes associated with the Boom Studios comic should go [[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Comic Book)|here]].
 
----
{{tropelist}}
=== ''Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers'' contains examples of: ===
* [[100% Adoration Rating]]: Queenie, albeit only for her own swarm.
 
* [[Absent-Minded Professor]]: Sparky, of course. Gadget too.
* [[Accidental Kiss]]: Chip and Dale at the end of "Gadget Goes Hawaiian", [[Mooks|Mole and Wart]] in "Adventures in Squirrelsitting".
* [[Accordion Man]]: Monty in "To the Rescue, (Part 3)".
* [[Acme Products]]: "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" features the ACME Majestic Ultra-light All-Weather Fiberglass Volcano. Which is unusual, because Disney productions usually have "AJAX" as the stand-in every-brand.
* [[Acrofatic]]: Monty.
* [[Action Girl]]: Gadget can turn into one given the necessity (or opportunity). Best example: "The Case of the Cola Cult".
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: "Throw Mummy From the Train".
* [[The Ahnold]]: Arnold Mousenegger in "The S.S. Drainpipe" and "Mind Your Cheese &and Q's".
* [[Air Guitar]]: Dale in "Risky Beesness".
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Used in a few episodes; [[Justified]] by the small physical size of the Rangers.
Line 36:
** Steggy in "Prehysterical Pet".
** The guard shark in "One-Upsman-Chip" is wearing a stereotypical spiked collar, even though sharks don't even have a neck.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Several one-off characters, including Monty's father, Cheddarhead Charlie, plus the regular villain, Professor Norton Nimnul.
* [[All Work vs. All Play]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Yeah, take a wild guess which of the two main characters fits which]].
* [[All That Glitters]]: Darbie's pot of gold in "The Last Leprechaun".
* [[All There in the Manual]]:
** The official press kit supplied the fans with information such as one possible official spelling of Lahwhinie's name ([[A Worldwide Punomenon|namely Lahwhinie]]). The official press kit was not even intended for the public.
** The only explanation as to how Chip got his hat that's available anywhere today is an out-of-print comic book. There are rumors that the movie cut of "To the Rescue" has a similar scene in it, but it hasn't been aired anywhere since 1988.
* [[All Work vs. All Play]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Yeah, take a wild guess which of the two main characters fits which]].
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Several one-off characters, including Monty's father, Cheddarhead Charlie, plus the regular villain, Professor Norton Nimnul.
* [[Aloha Hawaii]]: "Gadget Goes Hawaiian".
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: Monty's mother Camembert Kate in "A Lean on the Property". Yes, up to and including [[Embarrassing Old Photo|baby photos]].
Line 50:
* [[An Aesop]]: Many episodes had these.
* [[And This Is For]]: Monty in "Three Men and a Booby".
* [[Angry Guard Dog]]: The Doberman in "To the Rescue, (Part 4)".
* [[Animal Jingoism]]: Maltese de Sade's universal dog hatred in particular. And there has to be a reason behind Monterey Jack's cat phobia.
* [[Animal Superheroes]]: Debatable, considering that<ref> except in the episode "It's a Bird, It's Insane, It's Dale!", in which Dale and a human villain both get temporary [[Rubber Man]] powers from [[Green Rocks|an alien meteor]]</ref> none of the characters on the show have anything that could be called a super power.
** Some [[Show Within a Show|Shows Within A Show]] give us [[Animal Superheroes]]: Flash the Wonder Dog and his sidekick Conrad Cockatoo, and the Red Badger of Courage.
* [[Animal Talk]]: Almost all animal species seem to be able to talk with one another, including insects. Even Zipper seems to be understood by other animals with ease. ''Almost'' all because there is probably one exception: ''Homo sapiens'' is clearly not able to understand chipmunks, (but has no problems understanding dogs and alligators. (Since these are bigger, and for that reason, sound deeper, might it be a question of pitch?).
* [[Animated Shows]]
* [[Animation Bump]]: Look at ''"To the Rescue''" (done by [[Walt Disney Animation Japan]]) or ''"The Carpetsnaggers''" (done by [[TMS Entertainment]]), then look at ''"The Case of the Cola Cult''" (done by [[Wang Film Productions]]) or any of [[Sunwoo Entertainment]] or A-1 Productions' episodes.
* [[Animorphism]]:
** All over "A Wolf in Cheap Clothing".
Line 73:
* [[Badly-Battered Babysitter]]: ''Whenever'' kids are involved, both humans and animals.
* [[Bald of Evil]]:
** The two most frequent villiansvillains (Prof. Nimnul and Fat Cat) seem to be examples.
** Ignatz Ratskiwatski is an example all right, as is the Greatest Spy in the World.
* [[Balloon Belly]]:
Line 79:
** This does not happen to Bink from "Adventures in Squirrelsitting", though.
* [[Bamboo Technology]]: Most of Gadget's inventions.
* [[Bankruptcy Barrel]]: Percy in "To the Rescue, (Part 1)", although he was wearing a box.
* [[Barefoot Cartoon Animal]]: Gadget.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Gadget when it's warm outside.
Line 87:
** "Shell Shocked" does feature Gadget in a swimsuit, yes.
** "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" and "Chipwrecked Shipmunks" both have their beach scenes, too, but no swimsuits.
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]:
** "Should work with no problems."
** By the way, [[Shout-Out|Dale says, "Beam me up, Scotty"]], in "Dale Beside Himself".
** Contrary to popular belief, Chip and Dale are never stated to be brothers, in the show or in any other Disney canon.
* [[Beat Them At Their Own Game]]:
** When trying to counter Professor Nimnul in "Weather or Not".
Line 103 ⟶ 99:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Gadget in "The Case of the Cola Cult" and "Dirty Rotten Diapers".
* [[Be Yourself]]: Dale in "The S.S. Drainpipe" who eventually ditches Red Badger of Courage methods in favor of a plan of his own. Also Tammy who tries to impress Chip by being like him.
* [[Big Applesauce]]: Chrysler Building in "The Carpetsnaggers", Twin Towers in "Robocat", Rat Capone's Brooklyn accent, and so forth, and still there's no rock solid proof the show takes place in New York City. (Therethere's also quite a bit of evidence that it ''doesn't'' -- see—see [[Geographic Flexibility]].).
* [[Big Bad]]: Fat Cat, Professor Nimmul, and (in the pilot only) Aldrin Klordane.
* [[Big Ball of Violence]]: In "Love Isis a Many Splintered Thing", Monty ends up in a [[Big Ball of Violence]], crawls out of it, picks it up and tosses it away as a whole.
* [[Big Eater]]: Bink in "Adventures in Squirrelsitting", and of course Monterey Jack, especially when it comes to cheese.
* [[Big Fancy House]]: The Clutchcoin house in "The Carpetsnaggers", for example.
Line 112 ⟶ 108:
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: K. Sera.
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Lahwhinie definitely qualifies for this.
* [[Blooper]]: [http://cdrr.kalaydina.ru/trivia.html There's a webpage dedicated to them.]
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Gadget and Foxglove both have blue eyes (the mousette inventor sporting [[Hair of Gold]] as well).
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Monterey Jack.
Line 127 ⟶ 122:
* [[Broken Aesop]]:
** "Dirty Rotten Diapers" does not work as a lesson against resorting on violence.
** "The "Case Ofof Thethe Cola Cult" was trying to promote finding a place where you belong in an episode about a cult. That's definitely ''not'' the best message to send to people.
* [[Building Swing]]: Rubber Bando.
* [[Bull Seeing Red]]: Was impossible to avoid in "When Mice Were Men".
Line 134 ⟶ 129:
* [[California Doubling]]: It's not quite clear where the Rangers are based, but that place looks a lot like Burbank and Hollywood. Although it is animated.
* [[The Cameo]]: The crocodile from ''[[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Peter Pan]]'' chases Chip 'n Dale in "Kiwi's Big Adventure".
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Chip in "Good Times, Bat Times", mostly because he is being constantly interrupted. Also in many [[Fanfic|fanficsfanfic]]s he is portrayed this way.
* [[The Capital of Brazil Is Buenos Aires]]: "Chocolate Chips".
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Each of the five main characters is based on a well known 1980s live-action character:
Line 147 ⟶ 142:
* [[Cartoon Cheese]]
** Halfway [[Averted]] with the ''slices'' of cheese Monty steals out of burgers and sandwiches and the melted cheese from pizzas.
** Monty's favorite cheese is the Brie '86 (though it was established in "To The Rescue, (Part 3)" that he likes cheese regardless of what kind it is). Of course, no cheese in the show ever looks remotely like a brie.
* [[The Cassandra]]: Played with in "Seer No Evil". When the predictions of the fortune teller (who's actually named Cassandra) start to come true, the whole team (except Chip) gets very worried, since her last prediction was apparently of Chip's demise.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: The show is full of them.
Line 156 ⟶ 151:
** Monterey Jack's Australian slang also qualifies.
*** It should be noted that few, if any, [[Real Life]] Australians speak like Monty. He does sound somewhat like the [[Crocodile Hunter]], however.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Fat Cat, Maltese de Sade, the Siamese Twins, Kismet... averted with most of the kittens though.
** Also [[Averted]] with [[Iron Woobie|Tom]] from the episode "Robocat".
* [[Chained to a Railway]]: Twice. ("Out of Scale" has Dale in garb [[Chained to a Railway]] by Buffy and in "Last Train to Cashville", the whole gang, bar Dale, gets this treatment from Fat Cat). In "To the Rescue", Plato is chained to a train, although not the railway itself.
* [[Celebrity Voice Actor]]: Kathleen Freeman as Ma in "Short Order Crooks"; Deborah Walley as Buffy Ratskiwatski ("Out of Scale"), Lahwhinie ("Gadget Goes Hawaiian"), and Foxglove ("Good Times, Bat Times"), Carol Channing as Canina LaFur ("A Chorus Crime" and "They Shoot Dogs, Don't They").
* [[Chain of People]]: "To the Rescue (Part 5)". What's remarkable about this scene is that Gadget on top of the chain is able to yank up Chip to shout into his face and the other three Rangers with him with only one hand.
* [[Chained to a Railway]]: Twice. ("Out of Scale" has Dale in garb [[Chained to a Railway]] by Buffy and in "Last Train to Cashville" the whole gang, bar Dale, gets this treatment from Fat Cat). In "To the Rescue" Plato is chained to a train, although not the railway itself.
* [[Chain of People]]: "To the Rescue, Part 5". What's remarkable about this scene is that Gadget on top of the chain is able to yank up Chip to shout into his face and the other three Rangers with him with only one hand.
* [[Changed My Mind, Kid]]: Monterey Jack does this during the [[Five Episode Pilot]].
* [[Character Name and the Noun Phrase]]: Irweena and the Stingers in "Risky Beesness".
Line 166 ⟶ 160:
* [[Chick Magnet]]: Most of the male characters are lucky with women. Chip has received affection by Gadget and Tammy, Dale has received affection from Gadget and Foxglove, Monterey Jack has received affection from Gadget and Desiree D'Allure, and Zipper has received affection from Queenie and Cassandra.
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Or so Gadget believes in most of "Dirty Rotten Diapers".
* [[Chinese Launderer]]: The main location in "To the Rescue, (Part 2)".
* [[City of Adventure]]: Most of the episodes take place right there.
* [[City with No Name]]: The show's setting. Although there are hints that it's supposed to be either [[Los Angeles|Burbank]] or [[New York City]], and even a few references to [[San Francisco]], it's just as likely a case of [[Geographic Flexibility]].
Line 172 ⟶ 166:
** What Chip and Dale have to do for Detective Drake in "To the Rescue".
** What the Rangers have to do for themselves in "An Elephant Never Suspects".
** When Dale becomes Rubber Bando and is framed for crimes he didn't commit in the episode "It's Aa Bird, It's Insane, It's Dale!".
* [[Close-Call Haircut]]: Monty in "Mind Your Cheese &and Q's".
* [[Clothing Damage]]: Parodied. Whose dress is ripped in an action scene? {{spoiler|Dale's.}}.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Dale in many episodes.
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Most of the villains wear purple: Fat Cat, Rat Capone, Errol, Mr. Gribbish. (Gadget wears purple too, but it's a different shade, more like lavender.).
* [[Comic Book Adaptation]]:
** An official series of 19 comic books, the first two of which retell "To the Rescue", and several stand-alone comics in various Disney publications, including quite a few in ''[[Disney Adventures]]'' and a compilation collection called "The Secret Casebook". Sadly, Disney has never reprinted any of these, so good luck finding 'em.
Line 182 ⟶ 176:
* [[Compliment Backfire]]
* [[Compressed Hair]]: Just exactly how did Gadget stuff all that hair under that wig in "Dirty Rotten Diapers"?
* [[Conservation of Ninjitsu]]: Gadget vs. Bubbles' [[Ninja]] [[Mooks]] in "The Case of the Cola Cult". Granted, she is heavily armed and doesn't know Ninjitsu, but the principle is the same.
* [[Context Sensitive Button]]: Many controls of the Ranger Plane and the Ranger Wing.
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: It's apparently not the slightest bit hot a pair of tongs' length above a barbecue grill ("Gadget Goes Hawaiian").
Line 190 ⟶ 184:
** Ranger Plane and Ranger Wing.
** This has to be taken literally with Nimnul's flying iceberg in "To the Rescue". It's so cool that it doesn't even melt on its several-thousand-mile flight.
* [[Crash-Course Landing]]: The Rangers manage to pull off not a "simple" landing, but a fricking planetfall and touchdown with a NASA experimental space plane. After about five minutes in a simulator (and crashing twice there).
* [[Cowboy Bebop at His Computer]]: Whoever wrote the official German descriptions for the show and the episodes in particular [[Did Not Do the Research]]. [[Critical Research Failure|At all]]. Zipper is sometimes described as female although we could probably name two episodes which could show them otherwise even without any audio), Monty is sometimes named by his English name, sometimes by his German name, Gadget is sometimes named by her German name, sometimes by [[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Gosalyn]]'s German name (which she was definitely not given in any language), and so forth.
* [[Crash-Course Landing]]: The Rangers manage to pull off not a "simple" landing, but a frieking planetfall and touchdown with a NASA experimental space plane. After about five minutes in a simulator (and crashing twice there).
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: Tammy and Bink's mother gets to know Chip and Dale when they crash into her place.
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Gadget has on her person, among other things, a parachute, an inflatable raft, a glass cutter and a lighter. Being a Rescue Ranger kinda justifies it though.
* [[Criminal Amnesiac]]: (Ram-)Dale in "Le Purrfect Crime".
* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]:
** Chip and Dale do this for "The Fat Cat Stomp". In fact, it can be seen in the full opening for the show.
** Dale as "Tootsie" in "The S.S. Drainpipe".
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Dale, especially in "The S.S. Drainpipe" and "Le Purrfect Crime".
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Chip and Gadget were both voiced by [[Tress MacNeille]] (though, for Chip, you wouldn't know it from hearing at first since Tress's voice was placed at a higher pitch to match the original voice actor for Chip from the old Donald Duck cartoons).
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden BadassCult]]: Dale,The especiallyCola Cult in "S.S.The Drainpipe"Case andof "Lethe PurrfectCola CrimeCult".
* [[Cult]]: The Cola Cult in "Case of the Cola Cult".
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Foxglove. [[Justified]] by her being a bat, but nonetheless cute.
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Spunky in "Catteries Not Included", Boots in "Gorilla My Dreams".
* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: Professor Nimnul is clearly a brilliant scientist, so why doesn't he just patent his inventions, sit back and watch the money roll in instead of constantly picking fights with a group of rodents?
** Subverted when he tried to go straight in "Rest Home Rangers" by showcasing his invention at an expo, only to have it backfire, after which he swears revenge on everyone who laughed at him.
** Additionally, in "The Pied Piper Power Play", he tried to sell his potato generator to the power company, but they just laughed at him.
** In "Catteries Not Included", he mentioned that he attempted to sell his cat-powered generator to the power company, but they laughed at him.
** It seems the only person to have ever believed in Nimnul's crazy inventions was crime boss Aldrin Klordane, although that may have been because Klordane himself was a bit crazy.
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Spunky in "Catteries Not Included", Boots in "Gorilla My Dreams".
* [[Da Chief]]: Sergeant Spinelli.
* [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!]]: Rat Capone and his lackeys.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]:
* [[The Danza]]: Dev Ross as the TV aerobics trainer Dev in "Battle of the Bulge". See also [[Ink Suit Actor]].
** Standard plot element in ''[[Show Within a Show|Flash the Wonder Dog]]''.
** Also, Gadget was this in a number of episodes.
* [[Dark Fic]]: Many of the most famous [[Fan Fiction]] creations in the Rescue Rangers fandom fall into this category. ''Rhyme and Reason'', ''Gadget In Chains'', [[The Nowakverse]] stories including ''Under The Bridge'', the ''Chip Noir Dale'' series, in fact, also ''[[Of Mice and Mayhem]]''.
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Monterey Jack and Desiree D'Allure.
Line 220 ⟶ 214:
* [[Derailed for Details]]: Gadget frequently is.
* [[Deserted Island]]: "Chipwrecked Shipmunks".
* [[Detail-Hogging Cover]]: Done with a lot of ''CDRR'' artwork.
* [[Diagonal Cut]]: Performed by Juice Lee in the pilot.
* [[Digging to China]]: What the two pandas try to do in "An Elephant Never Suspects".
Line 228 ⟶ 222:
** Tammy and Bink seem to lack a father, too.
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Chip in "Adventures in Squirrelsitting", Dale ditto plus several more episodes, and even Zipper in "When You Fish Upon a Star". [[Attractive Bent Gender|And quite successfully]].
* [[Disney Death]]: Monty in "To the Rescue, (Part 2)", Chip in "Seer No Evil"...
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]:
** This is played straight in "Adventures in Squirrelsitting"... by Chip and Dale in drag.
** Also works in "The S.S. Drainpipe"... with Dale in drag.
** Gadget's famous "red dress" scene in the episode "Double O'O Chipmunk".
* [[Damsel in Distress]]:
** Standard plot element in [[Show Within a Show|Flash the Wonder Dog]].
** Also, Gadget was this in a number of episodes.
* [[Ditzy Genius]]: Gadget is a [[Gadgeteer Genius]] who constructs incredible technology [[Bamboo Technology|out of junk]], but she can be pretty scattered.
* [[Dodge by Braking]]: This is how Gadget avoids the hawks in "Three Men and a Booby".
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Monterey Jack trying to quit cheese in "Mind Your Cheese and Q's" is probably the closest thing Disney (or any American TV show, animated or otherwise) has ever done to doing an addiction show that wasn't [[Anvilicious]].
* [[Dog Stereotype]]: The Doberman and Frenchie in "To the Rescue, (Part 4)", for instance.
* [[Dope Slap]]:
** Chip bonks Dale on the head on occasion when he says something stupid.
Line 249 ⟶ 240:
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Gadget in the opening scene of "The Case of the Cola Cult".
* [[Drowning Pit]]: The boot in "Shell Shocked".
* [[Dub Name Change]]: More often than not, apparently, and usually not even sparing the Rangers themselves. Check them [https://web.archive.org/web/20120128123848/http://cdrr.kalaydina.ru/worldwide.html?show=names here.]
* [[Dumb Muscle]]:
** Arnold Mousenegger (more like "brain-dead muscle" in his case).
Line 256 ⟶ 247:
* [[Easy Come, Easy Go]]: Almost all episodes.
* [[Edible Ammunition]]: For example,
** Squeezed-out bananas in "To the Rescue, (Part 1)".
{{quote|'''Chip and Dale:''' Banana! Banana! Banana!}}
** Small Easter eggs on a catapult in "Three Men and a Booby".
** RamDale's Decaffeinator machine gun from "Le Purrfect Crime" shoots coffee beans.
* [[Edible Theme Naming]]: Monterey Jack's entire (canonical) family is named after sorts of cheese.
* [[EditedEek! forA SyndicationMouse!]]:
** For no apparent reason, the shot of Chip acquiring his hat in Part 2 of the pilot is missing from reruns and even the DVD.
** "The Pied Piper Power Play" was largely re-cut to remove a deaf-mute character named Mouseo that Disney execs felt was a negative stereotype. At least half the story is changed by his removal.
** Several episodes were edited for [[Toon Disney]], including edits that take out fade-outs to commercials and replace them with horribly-put-together cuts between scenes. What makes this worse? ''The [[Toon Disney]] cuts are the ones used for the DVDs''.
** The episode "A Lean on the Property" was never shown after the September 11th attacks because {{spoiler|the story involved Fat Cat levelling skyscrapers by using moles.}}
** The episode "Dirty Rotten Diapers" redubbed Gadget's lines about hurting the midget criminal posing as a baby (i.e. "Trash the brat!" was changed to "Trash the bum!" and "Let's shake that baby 'til he rattles!" was changed to "Let's shake that bum 'til he rattles!") because the censors thought it would bring about complaints of child abuse. The Toon Disney run had the original lines.
** In the original version of "Puffed Rangers", the villains are [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|crooked Japanese auto executives]] who spoke in [[You No Take Candle|stereotypically Asian English]] and there were a lot of jokes about China and Chinese culture. In the reruns, the auto executives spoke clear, grammatically correct English and all of the China/Chinese jokes were altered or excised.
* [[Eek! a Mouse!]]:
** Usually Monty, especially when he attempts to steal cheese or anything cheese-flavored from the police officers. In this case, it's less "Eek! A Mouse!" and more "Get that mouse!" or "Hey, it's that mouse!"
** [[Eek! aA Mouse!]] is played particularly straight in "The Carpetsnaggers", used by Monty to his advantage.
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Gadget. {{spoiler|Sort of lampshaded in ''[[Of Mice and Mayhem]]'' when Gadget gets a more modern hairstyle since the story takes place in the 90s}}. And of course [[Evil Twin|Lahwhinie]].
* [[Einstein Hair]]: Dr. Hibbleman from "It's a Bird, It's Insane, It's Dale!", Dr. Whitebread from "Double 'O Dale".
Line 277 ⟶ 261:
* [[Enfant Terrible]]: Buffy Ratskiwatski from "Out of Scale" is so absolutely that.
* [[Epunymous Title]]: "Song of the Night 'n Dale".
* [[Eskimo Land]]: "A Chorus Crime".
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Some episodes end with this; others don't.
* [[Everyone Looks Sexier If French]]: Désirée D'Allure from "Love Isis a Many- Splintered Thing".
* [[Everyone Loves Blondes]]: Gadget is loved by Chip, Dale, [[Furry Fandom|and most of the fans actually]].
* [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs]]: Steggy, whose appearance in the late 20th century is [[Justified]] by declaring dinosaurs highly developed creatures who came to Earth in egg-shaped spacecraft millions of years ago.
Line 293 ⟶ 276:
* [[Evil Twin]]:
** Lahwhinie, in relation to Gadget. Might be also considered an [[Evil Counterpart]].
** One could say that Fat Cat and Maltese de Sade from "Le Purrfect Crime" are [[Evil Twin|Evil Twins]]s of each other, although they're actually cousins.
* [[Executive Meddling]]:
** The title chipmunks were originally not going to be a part of the show, as it was going to be a ''[[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]]''' spin-off with original characters; execs insisted on established Disney characters to headline the show instead, and as soon as the creators saw Chip and Dale's names on a list, they agreed to use them.
** Further examples are listed under [[Edited for Syndication]].
* [[Expository Theme Tune]]
* [[Express Lane Limit]]: In "Rest Home Rangers", Professor Nimnul tries to get a colossal stockpile of prunes out through an express lane, with predictable results (apart from Nimnul's retort: "I've only got one item - prunes!").
* [[Eye Pop]]: Of all characters, Bubbles has one before falling onto the soda pool.
* [[Fake Band]]: Iron Goose in "Risky Beesness".
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Lots of characters from all around the world meet a pretty much 100% American voice cast.
* [[Fake-Out Make-Out]]: Lahwhinie with Dale (once) and Chip (twice) in "Gadget Goes Hawaiian", Gadget in disguise with Dale in "Double 'O Chipmunk".
* [[Fake Band]]: Iron Goose in "Risky Beesness".
* [[Fake Rabies]]: In the pilot arc, Fat Cat gets Plato out of the way at one point by spraying his mouth with whipped cream and stuffing a visitor's lapdog into the middle of the mess.
* [[Fan Art]]: ''And how!''
* [[Fanfic Fuel]]: Most prominently, the scenes in "To the Rescue, (Part 3)" when Monty and Gadget talk about Geegaw, leaving the viewer with more questions than answers, and the end of "Good Times, Bat Times" which leaves the Dale/Foxglove pairing unresolved.
* [[Fan Verse]]: Most [[Fanfic]] writers create their own universe with whole series of stories, to which sometimes stories are added by other writers, for example [[The Nowakverse]] by John Nowak or the ''Chip Noir Dale's Rescue Rangers'' universe by Matt Plotecher.
* [[Fan Web Comics]]: There are several creations that may count as [[Fan Web Comics]]. None of them are comic strips published regularly, though.
Line 311 ⟶ 290:
** There are several more graphic novels which are works in progress and updated very irregularly; the latter also applies to the [[Sprite Comic]] ''[[Massive Multiplayer Crossover|Ranger Days]]''.
** "Cheer Up, Gadget".
** ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130612213903/http://ferazelhosting.net/~amc/amcarchive.html Angry Murine Catharsis]'', the first comic to feature John Nowak's famous original character [[The Nowakverse|Widget Hackwrench]].
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Fat Cat.
* [[Feather Fingers]]: Foxglove's wings even seem to morph into hands and back into wings, depending on what's required by the plot.
Line 317 ⟶ 296:
* [[Fiction 500]]: The Clutchcoin family obviously.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Tammy and Queenie.
* [[Five Episode Pilot]]: "To the Rescue", Parts 1-5.
* [[Five-Bad Band]]: Fat Cat's gang.
** [[Big Bad]] - Fat Cat.
** [[The Dragon]]/[[Evil Genius]] - Wart.
** [[The Brute|The Brutes]]s - Mole and Snout.
** [[Dark Chick]] - Mepps.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: There ''are'' five of them, but Gadget pulls [[The Smart Guy|double]] [[The Chick|duty]], while Zipper is the [[Team Pet]].
** [[The Hero]] - Chip.
** [[The Lancer]] - Dale.
** [[The Big Guy]] - Monterey Jack.
** [[The Smart Guy]]/[[The Chick]] - Gadget.
** [[Team Pet]] - Zipper.
* [[Five Episode Pilot]]: "To the Rescue" Parts 1-5.
* [[Flame War]]: Some extremely ugly wars about [[Ship-to-Ship Combat|which chipmunk Gadget will end up with]] have nearly torn the fandom apart on at least two occasions. Since then discussing the topic seriously is still somewhat of a taboo.
* [[Flight]]: "Kiwi's Big Adventure".
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: Bubbles, the [[Big Bad]] from "The Case of the Cola Cult".
* [[Flying Broomstick]]: It's a vacuum cleaner that Winifred rides in "Good Times, Bat Times", but she's a cleaning woman from around 1990 after all.
* [[Flying Carpet]]: Nimnul makes those in "The Carpetsnaggers".
* [[Follow Your Nose]]: Played straight by Monty during his cheese attacks. Exaggerated on "Out of Scale", when Dale throws a chunk of Limburger cheese into a toy truck, commenting that Monty will love it. Of course, Monty smells it and goes into "cheese attack" mode—until he finds the shrink ray gun and attempts to drag it back with him, only to have the smell of Limburger literally drag him away. Monty fights it—until the smell taps him on the shoulder and goes up his nose.

Monty fights it -- until the smell taps him on the shoulder and goes up his nose.
* [[Fortune Teller]]: Cassandra. She's a Gypsy all right, and a light bulb serves as her crystal ball.
* [[Four-Fingered Hands]]: Most characters, but a few have five-fingered hands. This is used to comedic effect in "The Pied Piper Power Play" when Chip has to use both hands to indicate the number five.
* [[Four Legged Insects]]: Not limited to Zipper. Actually, most insects in the show — the "good" ones in particular — have only four limbs, the bees from "Risky Beesness" for example. However, this doesn't apply to all insects. To give another example, the pill bugs from "Fake Me to Your Leader" have six limbs.
* [[Friendly Local Chinatown]]: "To the Rescue, (Part 2)", and "Adventures in Squirrelsitting".
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Monterey Jack to a lesser extent in the official comics and to the extreme in [[Fanfic]].
* [[Furry Female Mane]]: Most of the anthropomorphic female cast actually, including Gadget, Lahwhinie (naturally), Tammy, Bink, their mother, Cassandra (an insect), Queenie (another insect), Camembert Kate, Désirée D'Allure, and so forth. Foxglove and Ming-Ting are comparatively rare exceptions.
* [[G-Rated Drug]] and [[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!]]: The episode "Mind Your Cheese and Q's" where Monterey Jack tries to give up his cheese addiction is a perfect example of both of these. Actually, Monty's cheese addiction in general counts.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: [[Trope Namer|Gadget]].
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: [[Trope Namer|Gadget]]. Sometimes overlapping with [[Ditzy Genius]]
* [[Gangsterland]]: Where Rat Capone pretends to live, complete with [[Joisey|the appropriate accent]].
* [[GASP]]: Because you can't have Gadget do a [[Wild Take]].
* [[Gay Paree]]:
** "Le Purrfect Crime".
** The [[Flash Back]] in "Love Isis a Many Splintered Thing".
* [[Genie in a Bottle]]: The Genie from "A Lad in a Lamp".
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Chip in "Pound of the Baskervilles".
* [[Geographic Flexibility]]: What the heck do a barrage ("A Creep in the Deep"), the Chrysler Building ("The Carpetsnaggers"), the World Trade Center ("Robocat"), the Bob Hope Airport ("To the Rescue"), the Los Angeles Town Hall ("To the Rescue"), and LAPD police uniforms do in one and the same city?
* [["Get Out of Jail Free" Card]]: Nimnul, although he may just be ''really'' good at breaking out of jail.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]:
** The infamous "red dress scene".
** In "Double O'Chipmunk" Dale, after his devices wreck the Ranger HQ, in shown wearing only a bowtie, like a [[Chippendales Dancers]]. This also qualifies as a [[Visual Pun]].
** In "Mind Your Cheese and Q's", Monty locks himself in the vault of cheese and sings a variation of "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall", replacing "beer" with "cheese". Might not seem like much, but it does seem like something that modern cartoons (unless they're adult-oriented) wouldn't dare put in.
*** Ditto the end to "Battle of the Bulge". Yes, Chip, Dale, and Gadget were wearing clothes when they jumped into the mini-bath, but the only thing Monty had on was that helmet with the goggles.
** How did a character named Maltese de Sade make it past the media watchdogs?
** The episode ''A Fly in the Ointment'' has a scene where Dale (Who, I would like to remind everyone, is male, and a [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]) and Gadget (Who is female and generally goes around fully dressed), get hit by a ray that swaps their heads. Gadget's reaction upon realizing what happened is to panic and turn a nearby paper cup into an improvised skirt.
*** Not to mention her reaction to seeing Dale's head on her body. (Keep the hands off the body!)
** In "Shell Shocked", after the Rangers fall to the floor.
{{quote|'''Dale:''' [[Non Sequitur Thud|Bottom floor, lingerie]].}}
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]]: The [[Did Not Do the Research|red]] lobsters in "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" are indeed giants in comparison to mice.
* [[Giant Spider]]: And the tarantula baddie Lou is large if compared with the Rangers, too. Not that he's really scary, though.
Line 368 ⟶ 338:
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: The sphinx demon in "Throw Mummy From the Train".
* [[Go-Go Enslavement]]: In "A Case of Stage Blight", after the team is captured by Sewernose, he dresses them up like Wild West people, puts strings on them like marionettes and puts on a dinner theater with them before choosing to eat them.
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: Happens to the spy at the end of "Double O'Chipmunk" when he realizes he's been defeated by a group of rodents.
* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]:
** Most of the time, Gadget wears her goggles upon her head as a [[Hair Decorations|decoration]]. She even wears them with her nightgown in "Double 'O Chipmunk". A very few times, however, she does use them.
** Monterey Jack has his own goggles. He is even seen once wearing his usual Goggles Doing Nothing in their usual place and a second pair of goggles covering his eyes.
* [[Go Mad from the Revelation]]: Happens to the spy at the end of "Double 'O Chipmunk" when he realizes he's been defeated by a group of rodents.
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: They actually even managed to do that with Lahwhinie, who otherwise looks like Gadget.
* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]: Irweena and the Stingers. In fact, also Iron Goose.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Gadget.
* [[Gosh Hornet]]: "Risky Beesness" uses standard elements of this.
* [[GPS Evidence]]: Subverted in "It's a Bird, It's Insane, It's Dale!" in how Gadget finds where Seymour's hiding the monuments he's stealing. She takes a flyer from his travel agency, analyzes it chemically, and then tells the Rangers the exact address... which she read on the flyer.
* [[Grappling Hook Pistol]]: Gadget's suction-cup crossbow. She even uses a suction-cup ''pistol'' in "To the Rescue".
* [[The Great White North]]: "A Chorus Crime".
* [[G-Rated Drug]] and [[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!]]: The episode "Mind Your Cheese and Q's" where Monterey Jack tries to give up his cheese addiction is a perfect example of both of these. Actually, Monty's cheese addiction in general counts.
* [[Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress]]: Lots of instances. The most famous example would be Dale and Foxglove's first scene together in "Good Times, Bat Times".
* [[Greasy Spoon]]: Ma's Diner in "Short Order Crooks".
Line 392 ⟶ 362:
** Chip and his magnifying glasses.
** Gadget and the glass cutter in "A Creep in the Deep".
** Gadget and a lot of things, actually, such as the raft in "To The Rescue, (Part 5)".
** Or her head light in "Shell Shocked".
* [[Handy Remote Control]]:
Line 403 ⟶ 373:
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Zipper is attracted to Queenie.
** Heroes Are Wanted By Redheads: Tammy is attracted to Chip, and Foxglove is attracted to Dale.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Chip and Dale must have been spending an eternity together even before they became Rescue Rangers. (Thoughthough it has been hinted in comics before this series at that they're related, this is probably not canon to the show.).
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Lots of occurrences.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Monterey Jack and Gadget are the friendly variety of this.
* [[Hula and Luaus]]: "Gadget Goes Hawaiian", only little hula, but a big luau scene and tourists and surfing and volcanoes. Justified that the episode takes place behind a hotel, and the volcano is fake, a deliberate tourist attraction.
* [[Humanity Ensues]]: When Harry the wolf is turned into a human and Nimnul almost pulls a [[Wolf Man]] in "A Wolf in Cheap Clothing".
* [[Human Ladder]]: Although not done with humans but animals instead, this is the subject of merchandise such as the Electric Tiki statue. Of course, it also appears in the show on several occasions, for example, in "Fake Me to Your Leader" when the Rangers sans Zipper have to press an elevator button.
* [[Hundred-Percent Adoration Rating]]: Queenie, albeit only for her own swarm.
* [[Hypno Fool]]:
** Everyone exposed to the hypnosis device in "Parental Discretion Retired" believes they're chicken.
Line 415 ⟶ 383:
** The sturgeons in "Parental Discretion Retired".
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: On the episode "Chocolate Chips", Dale smells chocolate and goes into the same sort of cheese-attack trance that Monterey Jack does whenever he smells cheese. Monty pulls Dale back and has the nerve to comment that it's "...disgusting the way some people can't control themselves."
** It happens again when an alien transformed into a duplicate of Dale sees his favorite food... ...Earthburgles.
* [[I Broke a Nail]]: Lahwhinie in "Gadget Goes Hawaiian".
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Gadget and Lahwhinie.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Dale has held this a few times.
* [[If My Calculations Are Correct]]: Said by both Dale and Gadget in "The S.S. Drainpipe". Dale uses it as a [[Catch Phrase]] whereas Gadget's calculations ''are'' correct.
Line 423 ⟶ 391:
* [[Imperial China]]: Lives on in a valley in the Himalaya which has even got its own emperor ("Song of the Night 'n Dale").
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Dale, a chipmunk, manages to defeat Sewernose de Bergerac, an alligator several times his size with a weapon several times as large as his.
* [[In The Blood]]: Learning that Maltese de Sade is Fat Cat's cousin is all Monty needs to know to deduce that he's bad news, and indeed, Sade is as rotten as Fat Cat is.
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]:
** Deborah Walley more or less replays part of her role as Gidget as Lahwhinie's voice actress.
Line 440 ⟶ 409:
* [[It's Always Spring]]: Unless stated otherwise, for example in "Weather or Not".
* [[It's Personal]]: The reason why Monty joins Chip and Dale against Fat Cat is because the latter sunk his living-place.
* [[Jerkass Genie]]: The episode "A Lad Inin Hisa Lamp" has one.
* [[Just a Stupid Accent]]: Applies to just about every foreign character in the show. Most prominently Monterey Jack.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: The show has never been aired on American free TV since 1993. It did air on cable (on both The [[Disney Channel]] and [[Toon Disney]]) in the late 1990s/early 2000s, but now that's gone too due to [[Network Decay]]. The entire Season 3 has still not been released on DVD yet, it's being removed from [[YouTube]] again and again, and the few copies of the "Witcheroo" VHS tape are far from being sufficient for the many Foxyphiles, not to mention that probably only few of them still have a VHS recorder.
* [[Kent Brockman News]]: Stan Blather.
{{quote|'''Stan:''' In a tragic development, the space plane is plunging directly toward the control tower. Wait a minute. ''I'm'' in the control tower! WAAAUGH!}}
* [[Lady in Red]]: Gadget in "Double 'O Dale" and "Mind Your Cheese &and Q's".
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Happens in "A Creep in the Deep". After Gadget pulls out a larger-than-herself glass cutter seemingly out of nowhere:
{{quote|'''Monty:''' Do you always carry a glass cutter around with 'ya?
'''Gadget:''' No. Just when I want to cut glass. }}
* [[Land Down Under]]: Where Monty and his parents hail from.
* [[Land of Dragons]]: Main location of "Song of the Night 'n Dale" and hinted at in the first few minutes of "Adventures in Squirrelsitting".
Line 458 ⟶ 426:
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Professor Nimnul usually does this.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Cheddarhead Charlie and often Monterey Jack.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Dale mentioned in "Good Times, BadBat Times" that Gadget's cooking tastes like motor oil.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Actually makes sense if you think about how many chipmunk-sized shirts could be cut out of one human-sized one.
* [[Long-Lost Relative]]: Geegaw, whenever he is still alive, and Lahwhinie, whenever she is Gadget's sister, in [[Fanfic]].
Line 487 ⟶ 455:
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: [[Corey Burton]], [[Peter Cullen]], [[Rob Paulsen]], and most of all, [[Jim Cummings]].
** [[Man of a Thousand Voices|Woman Of A Thousand Voices]]: [[Tress MacNeille]].
* [[Message Board]]: The biggest and oldest one is [http://www.theacorncafe.org the Acorn Cafe]; it is here where the [[Big Name Fan|Big Name Fans]]s meet. The ''Chip 'n Dale'' (both classic and ''Rescue Rangers'') fan portal [http://www.chipndaleonline.com Chip 'n' Dale Online] has its own large forum.
* [[Message in a Bottle]]: All Hands tries to contact Captain Finn this way in "A Creep in the Deep".
* [[Mid-Air Bobbing]]: Way too many occurrences to list.
Line 496 ⟶ 464:
** Used by Fat Cat in "Parental Discretion Retired".
* [[Minion with an F In Evil]]: Foxglove for the first half of "Good Times, Bat Times".
* [[Misplaced Wildlife]]: A crocodile in New Zealand in "Kiwi's Big Adventure".
* [[Missing Episode]]: "A Lean on the Property" was banned in the USA post-9/11. It's not on the two released DVD sets, either.
* [[Missing Mom]]: While Gadget's father Geegaw is mentioned and shown in a picture during the pilot, not a word is said about her mother, and she never appears during the series.
* [[Misplaced Wildlife]]: A crocodile in New Zealand in ''Kiwi's Big Adventure''.
* [[Moment Killer]]: Dale in "Good Times, Bat Times". Twice.
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]: Professor Norton Nimnul.
Line 505 ⟶ 472:
** The shoot-out between Winifred's flying hoover and the Bagpipe Express in "Good Times, Bat Times".
* [[Mouse World]]: Explored in the show, but used to a much higher extent in [[Fanfic]].
* [[The Movie]]: Actually planned, but nixed after ''[[DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp|Duck Tales the Movie Treasure of The Lost Lamp]]'' bombed. Although the story is believed to have been written, nothing is known about it among the fans.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Gadget in her red dress definitely qualifies for this.
* [[Mummy]]: Subverted in "Throw Mummy fromFrom the Train", Hiram is on the Rangers' side.
* [[Mundane Fantastic]]: Apart from the rodent societies, we have Gnomes, malevolent spirits and aliens on vacation. Yet, nobody (beside Dale) seems to make much fuss about them. Of course the humans are always oblivious to everything.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Chip continually tells Tammy not to call him Chipper in "Adventures in Squirrelsitting".
* [[My Nayme Is]]: Whatever you expect the name of Gadget's [[Evil Twin]] in "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" to be spelled like, chances are good it's spelled differently. The officially established canonical spelling is Lahwhinie, by the way, but even this isn't accepted by everyone.
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Gadget's past, only a few hints are given in "To the Rescue, (Part 3)".
* [[Mythology Gag]]:
** In "To the Rescue", the detective and his dog are named Donald Drake and Plato, obviously a nod to [[Chip and Dale]]'s old costars [[Donald Duck]] and Pluto; also in that episode, the villain's thug mistakes Dale for his gun, reusing a gag from the 1950s short "The Lone Chipmunks".
Line 520 ⟶ 487:
** Whenever Chip and Dale fight over something, their voices slip into the high-pitched squeaky voices they had in their old shorts.
** One episode ("Out of Scale") shares a title with a [[Classic Disney Shorts|classic cartoon]], and borrows a few plot elements from it as well, such as a toy train set and the 'munks living in a toy house.
* [[Name and Name]]: ''Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers''.
* [[Named Weapons]]: The Decaffeinator.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Aldrin Klordane. Named after toxic chemicals and often spelled with a K.
* [[The Napoleon]]: {{spoiler|The baby}} from the episode "Dirty Rotten Diapers".
* [[Nested Mouths]]: aA scene from an obvious ''[[Alien]]'' parody which takes [[Nested Mouths]] [[Up to Eleven|Up to Three]]. The alien in question has three mouths nested in one another, the last one is just big enough to pinch the Ripley look-alike's nose.
* [[Never Found the Body]]: How Aldrin Klordane could return, despite being officially pronounced dead by the police. Also allows Geegaw Hackwrench to return in quite a few [[Fanfic|FanFics]].
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Played so straight that some fans believe Geegaw Hackwrench is still alive because he couldn't be undoubtedly pronounced dead.
* [[New Old Flame]]: Désirée D'Allure in "Love Isis a Many Splintered Thing", sort of.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Chip's fedora definitely qualifies.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Chip literally does this to Tammy's heart when he yells at her in "Adventures Inin Squirrelsitting" causing her and her sister Bink to try to retrieve the Maltese Mouse from Fat Cat by themselves.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Steggy once more; a super-intelligent, high-tech-equipped dinosaur from outer space meets [[They Fight Crime|crimefighting]] rodents, one of whom is an [[Land Down Under|Australian]] bush fighter.
* [[Nobody Here but Us Statues]]: Chip and Dale in "Song of the Night 'n Dale", Steggy in "Prehysterical Pet".
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Too many examples to list.
* [[No Export for You]]: The Season 2 DVDs and most of the merch available in the USA can hardly be acquired anywhere in Europe (or anywhere else in the world) other than on eBay.
* [[No Matter How Much I Beg]]: Lahwhinie knew Gadget would try to escape when the dangerous challenges started, so she tells Shaka Baka that she's scared and might chicken out, but wants him to make sure she goes through with it.
* [[Non-Fatal Explosions]]: The blowing up of the kitchen door in "Zipper Come Home" is only one example.
* [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]: Queenie has a pretty ample bust for a bee.
* [[Non Dubbed Grunts]]: More than 95% of Zipper's dialogs in the German dub remained English.
* [[Non-Fatal Explosions]]: The blowing up of the kitchen door in "Zipper Come Home" is only one example.
* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: Dale (usually [[Corey Burton]]) has Will Ryan as his singing voice actor. Chip is fortunate enough, for [[Tress MacNeille]] can sing.
* [[Noodle Incident]]:
** Monterey Jack and Gadget's father were once friends that broke up over something that happened in Zanzibar that involved cheesebreadcheese-bread.
** It's never explained how Monterey Jack got those "cheese attacks" since it hasn't been implied that it's genetic (otherwise, the writers would have shown it on the two occasions where Monterey Jack's parents were shown).
* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]:
Line 546 ⟶ 511:
** Gadget (partially) subverts this trope, by making blueprints for seemingly ''every''' invention, even if it was just an improvisation on the spot.
* [[Now You Tell Me]]: Monty mentions to Gadget that her father used to mount skis on the Screaming Eagle when he had to land on ice ''after'' she landed on Glacier Bay's icy ground.
* [[Obfuscating Disability]]: "Kiwi's Big Adventure" had Dale fake a broken toe to get out of doing work, and get spoiled by Gadget. Later in the episode, Dale saved the day, breaking his toe for real, and got his comeuppance when he had to miss a party because of it.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Gadget Hackwrench; not exactly oblivious, more like not ready for the advances she receives yet.
* [[Off Like a Shot]]
* [[Off-Model]]: The episodes "Risky Beesness" and "Bearing Up Baby" definitely had moments of this. Not to mention "An Elephant Never Suspects" in it's entirety.
** After [[T MsTMS]] left the series, the animation became largely sub-par; it really went down the toilet when [[Sunwoo]] came aboard.
* [[Off Like a Shot]]
* [[Oh Wait, This Is My Grocery List]]: Most noticeably, "Good Times, Bat Times".
* [[Oireland]]: "The Last Leprechaun".
* [[Oktoberfest]]: Heinrich von Sugarbottom's choice of clothes.
* [[Ominous Pipe Organ]]: Not only does Captain Nemo's pipe organ (complete with ribbon and "N" seal) appear in "A Creep in the Deep", it is even played in that episode. Twice even: once by All Hands, once while misused by the Rangers as a pump. The same music is used as [[BGM]] in other episodes.
* [[One Head Taller]]: Queenie to Zipper. [[Your Size May Vary]], though (see the end of the list).
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]:
** Foxglove from "Good Times, Bat Times". Foxglove has an entire website devoted to her (and now dedicated to her voice actress, the late Deborah Walley).
** Tammy and Bink from "Adventures in Squirrelsitting".
** Queenie from "Risky Beesness".
** Sparky from "Does Pavlov Ring a Bell?"
** Geegaw Hackwrench from "To the Rescue, (Part 3)" isn't even really a character, he is only ever shown on a picture. Yet, despite his unknown fate and total personal absence, he is quite popular in the fandom.
* [[One Head Taller]]: Queenie to Zipper. [[Your Size May Vary]], though (see the end of the list).
* [[The One Who Wears Shoes]]: Gadget's occasional disguises almost always include high-heels.
* [[Only Six Faces]]: Rat Capone ("Thee S.S. Drainpipe", "Mind Your Cheese and Q's") and Francis ("Double 'O Dale") look exactly the same except for the clothes. Some fans believe they're brothers.
* [[The Other Darrin]]:
** Monterey Jack was voiced by [[Peter Cullen]] in Season 1, but was replaced by [[Jim Cummings]] for the second season (and the five-part pilot episode). According to series creator [[Word of God|Tad Stones]], Cullen wasn't as funny as Cummings was during table reads.
** In the first episode of the German dub, "Kiwi's Big Adventure", Gadget has a different voice that hardly even fits her.
* [[Our Banshees Are Louder]]: The villain of "The Last Leprechaun" is a banshee who has enslaved all the leprechauns.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Nimnul in "A Wolf in Cheap Clothing", for he uses [[Applied Phlebotinum|the Metamorphosizer]] to exchange species with a wolf who then turns into a human.
* [[Overclocking Attack]]: Nimnul's generator in "The Pied Piper Power Play".
* [[Overlord, Jr.]]: Norton Nimnul's [[Chaste Toons|nephew]] Normie. He even looks like a much younger version of his uncle.
* [[Packed Hero]]: One episode has Fat Cat using a canning machine as a [[Death Trap]] for the Rescue Rangers, with every implication that the process would result in a bunch of finely-minced Rangers in a cat food can. Not only do the Rangers escape, but they also trick Fat Cat and his goons into throwing themselves into the machine: the end result is Fat Cat and his goons improbably stuffed into tiny cans, humiliated but apparently no worse for the wear.
* [[Pandaing to the Audience]]: Ming-Ting and Ting-A-Ling from "An Elephant Never Suspects".
* [[Panty Shot]]: Technically speaking, Winifred from "Good Times, Bat Times" has plenty of these. But she isn't attractive to start with, nor are her undergarments.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Gadget and Lahwhinie only exchange the goggles and the flower. Being [[Doppelganger|Doppelgangers]]s, such a minor change is really all that's needed to make them look like each other; the "paper thin" part is that they have very different voices and personalities.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Gadget.
* [[Parental Bonus]]: The many, ''many'' movie and literature references in the show, some of which border on [[Genius Bonus]].
Line 583 ⟶ 545:
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: The princess at the opera in "A Case of Stage Blight". Chip ''somehow'' finds one that fits him later on, and distracts the villain by singing a duet with him.
* [[Pinocchio Syndrome]]: "Robocat".
* [[Pirate Booty]]: "Chipwrecked Shipmunks".
* [[A Pirate 400 Years Too Late]]: The Pi-Rats.
* [[Pirate Booty]]: "Chipwrecked Shipmunks".
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: The Pi-Rats.
* [[Plot Technology]]: Anything Norton Nimnul ever invents. Just about the only device to ever return is the Gigantico Gun.
Line 591 ⟶ 553:
** Sometimes subverted in fan fiction. ''[[Of Mice and Mayhem]]'' is a good example: While the Rangers are only so much as investigating in Nimnul's lab, the FBI shows up and arrests him right away.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Supposedly, Geegaw Hackwrench.
* [[Pounds Are Animal Prisons]]: "To the Rescue, (Part 4)".
* [[The Power of Friendship]]
* [[Power Walk]]: Almost, at the end of "To the Rescue". See the screengrab in this article.
Line 614 ⟶ 576:
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: In the episode "Risky Beesness", Queenie is able to overpower Irweena's hypnosis over her swarm and help Zipper save the other Rangers in the process.
* [[Rubber Man]]: "It's a Bird, It's Insane, It's Dale!"
* [[Rule 34]]: Poor Gadget is usually the subject of [[Yiff|such material]], but there are plenty of fans who strongly oppose it (Tammy and Foxglove, as well as the other Rangers, have their own fair share - but nowhere near the amount as Gadget has).
* [[Rule of Three]]: The three tests in "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" are only one example.
* [[Runaway Bride]]: [[Gender Flip]]ped. Monterey Jack missed out on his wedding to Desiree D'Allure in "Love is a Many Splintered Thing" because he was "seduced by his first love" (a truck conveniently stuck in traffic carrying cheese), though considering that Desiree only used Monty to help out her gang of criminals, this may have been a good thing.
* [[Rule 34]]: Poor Gadget is usually the subject of [[Yiff|such material]], but there are plenty of fans who strongly oppose it. (Tammy and Foxglove, as well as the other Rangers, have their own fair share - but nowhere near the amount as Gadget has.)

* [[Running Gag]]: Monty's cheese attacks (it would be [[Once an Episode]], but there are a lot of episodes that don't have Monty's cheese attacks), some of Gadget's quirks, Chip and Dale fighting over Gadget.
* [[Running on the Spot]]
Line 626 ⟶ 588:
** In fact, sometimes they refuse to spell out Lah... Law... Lou... the name of Gadget's [[Evil Twin]] from "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" due to the unclear spelling.
* [[Screw Destiny]]: Chip's attitude towards Cassandra's prophecy in "Seer No Evil", no matter how much of it comes true.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: 51 of the show's 65 episodes have been released on DVD in two sets. Disney has made no announcement about when the remaining 14 episodes (including [[Missing Episode]] "A Lean on the Property") will be released...if ever. As if that wasn't bad enough, the [[Five Episode Pilot]] "To The Rescue" was only released in its five-part syndicated version (not the "movie" form), and the episodes' [[Edited for Syndication|Toon Disney cuts]] were the versions put on DVD.
* [[Seers]]: Cassandra from "Seer No Evil".
* [[Shadow Discretion Shot]]: Dale vs. Su Lin in "Song of the Night 'n Dale".
* [[Shapeshifter Baggage]]: The Fleeblebroxians in "Dale Beside Himself" can shapeshift into anything, no matter how big or small. DTZ, for instance, transforms into both a dragon a dozen times as tall as Dale as well as into Dale.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Gadget in her red dress scenes proves this to be true.
* [[She's All Grown Up]]: Referenced/used in the meeting scene in "To the Rescue, (Part 3)":
{{quote|'''Monty:''' Gadget? Geegaw's little girl? Why the last time I saw you you were nigh high to a knee.
'''Gadget:''' Well, I've grown up some.
'''Chip/Dale:''' I'll say!/And how! }}
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Seymour.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Done on many occasions, both for Chip+Gadget and for Dale+Gadget, but also for potential 'ships involving one-shot characters. "Good Times, Bat Times" takes the cake, however, with its quite intense Chip+Gadget and Dale+Foxglove [[Ship Tease]].
Line 640 ⟶ 601:
* [[Shout-Out]]: So many, the show is practically [[Reference Overdosed]]. Go [[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)/Shout Out|here]] for specifics.
* [[Show Some Leg]]: Gadget's red dress is tailored that way.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: "''Red Badger of Courage"'', "''Flash the Wonder Dog"'', the "''Dirk Suave"'' movie series, several comic book series.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: The original show didn't have a character joining for more than a single episode. In fanfic, the two most common examples are Foxglove and Tammy. In any case, this is meant literally.
* [[Similarly Named Works]]: In particular, "Out of Scale" shares its name with a ''[[Chip and Dale]]'' cartoon.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: The original show didn't have a character joining for more than a single episode. In fanfic the two most common examples are Foxglove and Tammy. In any case, this is meant literally.
** There seems to be more [[Fan Fiction]] with Foxy as the [[Sixth Ranger]] than not.
* [[Sixty-Five-Episode Cartoon]]
Line 649 ⟶ 609:
* [[Smooch of Victory]]:
** At the beginning of "Dirty Rotten Diapers" Gadget gives one to Chip.
** At the end of "Adventures Inin Squirrelsitting", Tammy gives one to Chip. He's pretty [[Chick Magnet|popular with the ladies]].
* [[Smug Super]]: Dale as Rubber Bando. It's not until he's framed for stealing world monuments that he loses his smugness.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]
Line 670 ⟶ 630:
* [[Steven Ulysses Perhero]]: Gadget and Sparky both qualify.
* [[Stock Dinosaurs]]: Guess where Steggy got his name from.
* [[Stock Epileptic Trees]]: At least ''CDRR'' and ''[[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]]'' share the same universe.
* [[Stout Strength]]: Monterey Jack. Overweight: Check. Gadget even tries to get him to lose some weight. Strength: Check. He's easily the strongest Ranger.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]:
Line 676 ⟶ 636:
** Normie and his uncle Norton Nimnul.
* [[Superheroes Wear Capes]]: Flash the Wonder Dog and the Red Badger of Courage.
* [[Superpowers for A Day]]: Dale becomes the superhero "Rubber Bando" in "It's a Bird, It's Insane, It's Dale!". Sadly, his source of super powers is smashed before the episode ends.
* [[Super Speed]]: The Ranger Plane in "Dale Beside Himself", thanks to DTZ.
* [[Super Strength]]: Gadget (as seen in "To the Rescue, (Part 5)"), Monty, and Zipper. Also, a side effect of wearing one of the red meteorite crystals from "It's a Bird, It's Insane, It's Dale!".
* [[Supervillain Lair]]: Aldrin Klordane's refit of the cave in "To the Rescue, (Part 5)", which is also an [[Elaborate Underground Base]], and to a lesser extent Norton Nimnul's lair in "Catteries Not Included", "The Pied Piper Power Play" and "Normie's Science Project".
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Monterey Jack.
* [[Surfer Dude]]: Shaka Baka from "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" is, like, way too Californian for Hawaii.
Line 688 ⟶ 648:
* [[Synchronized Swarming]]: "Risky Beesness" has a swarm of bees who not only form flying hearts on behalf of the queen, but also steal musical instruments while hypnotized by a thief playing a mind-controlling tune.
* [[Take a Third Option]]: Lawhinie's solution to the three deadly challenges is to [[Dungeon Bypass|not do them]], and tricked Gadget to take her place; when the village chief finds out, he considers Lahwhinie's solution and her attempt at [[Loophole Abuse]] as [[No Fair Cheating|cheating]].
* [[Talking to Himself]]:
** Happens all the time as Chip and Gadget both got their voice from [[Tress MacNeille]]. It doesn't sound awkward only because Chip's voice is pitched up--thus making [[Tress MacNeille]] the very rare voice actress who actually hits on herself.
** Also happens with Dale and Zipper, since they're both voiced by [[Corey Burton]], although Zipper rarely has "speech" per se.
* [[Talk Like a Pirate]]: The Pi-Rats, especially Jolly Roger who even refers to the Rangers as "me hearties" in "Chipwrecked Shipmunks".
* [[Tank Goodness]]:
Line 699 ⟶ 656:
* [[Techno Babble]]: Gadget's ramblings do not always make sense.
* [[Temple of Doom]]: Where Heinrich von Sugarbottom has his secret base in "Chocolate Chips".
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: Monty in "To the Rescue (Part 4)" and "Love is a Many Splintered Thing", Gadget in "The Case of the Cola Cult", Zipper in "Zipper Come Home".
* [[Tenchi Solution]]: [[Status Quo Is God|Type 1]] to be precise.
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: Monty in "To the Rescue, Part 4" and "Love Is A Many Splintered Thing", Gadget in "Case of the Cola Cult", Zipper in "Zipper Come Home".
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: The majority of animal characters.
* [[Thememobile]]: The famous Ranger Plane, maybe also the Ranger Mobile and the Ranger Wing to a much lesser extent.
Line 713 ⟶ 670:
* [[Three Wishes]]: "A Lad in a Lamp".
* [[Through a Face Full of Fur]]
* [[Toe-Tapping Melody]]: The Rangers use this trope during "Adventures in Squirrelsitting". When their squirrel charges end up in Fat Cat's Casino, Monterrey Jack puts on a suit, presents himself as the piano man and announces that a disguised Chip and Dale will serve as the entertainment. He explains in a whisper that Gadget needs cover to find the children. Cue a rendition of "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsyZMVmW9Rg The Fat Cat Stomp]" where Chip and Dale hype up Fat Cat's reputation. He starts bopping along and even joins in for the last verse, along with his henchmen in the casino. Unfortunately [[Reality Ensues|he already figured out that since he didn't order the entertainment, it must have been a distraction]], and busts the Rangers just as they're about to leave during the finale, singing the melody to himself while setting them up in a [[Death Trap]].
* [[Too Dumb to Fool]]: In "One-Upsman-Chip" Dale tries to convince Fat Cat's henchmen to let him go because he has psychic powers by having them think of a number between 1 and 3 and guessing that they are thinking of the number 2. Most of the henchmen are amazed that he was right. However, he somehow wasn't even close to Mepps the cat's number, so he doesn't get released.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Gadget in the episode "The Case Of The Cola Cult", and Dale in the episode "Last Train To Cashville".
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Gadget in the episode "The Case Of The Cola Cult", and Dale in the episode "Last Train To Cashville".
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: Dale in several episodes.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Chip in several episodes.
Line 722 ⟶ 680:
* [[Trap Door]]: There's one in the secret passage of the Baskerville mansion in "Pound of the Baskervilles". Fat Cat also has one in his office.
* [[Treasure Map]]: Used in both Pi-Rats episodes. In "Chipwrecked Shipmunks", they've got an actual treasure stashed away on an island. In "Piratsy Under the Seas", however, it is revealed that they've been hunting the same treasure on their stuck ship for hundreds of years, using the same map over and over again since the treasure has always been in the same place.
* [[Triang Relations]]:
** Chip, Dale and Gadget - Type 3, 7, 8 or 9, with Gadget as 'a' or 4 with Gadget as 'b', depending on the interpretation.
** Chip, Tammy and Gadget - Type 4 or 5, with Tammy as 'a', Chip as 'b' and Gadget as 'c', again depending on the interpretation
Line 731 ⟶ 689:
* [[Truck Driver's Gear Change]]: The theme song does this twice. The full-length version additionally changes gears once per chorus.
* [[True Companions]]
* [[Tunnel King]]: Ming-Ting and Ting-a-Ling, the pandas from "An Elephant Never Suspects". The moles from "A Lean on the Property" also count.
* [[Tuxedo and Martini]]: Double- 'O Dale - sans Martini, of course, but his role model Dirk Suave and the gimmicks built into his tux make up for this.
* [[Unhand Them, Villain!]]: Fat Cat does it to Tammy and Bink in "Adventures in Squirrelsitting".
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Zipper.
Line 753 ⟶ 711:
* [[Weather Control Machine]]: Nimnul has one in "Weather or Not".
* [[We Help the Helpless]]: The team's motto being "No case too big, no case too small".
* [[Welcome to the Caribbean, Mon]]: The Jamaican fruit bats from "Battle of the Bulge".
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** The early draft known as ''Metro Mice'' featured a different-looking Gadget, an Australian kangaroo rat and proto-Monty named Colt Chedderson, a far-sighted eagle named Eagle Eye, a Martial Arts-savvy, baseball-crazy cricket named Chirp Sing, an adventurous mouse named Kit Colby as the leader, and a chameleon named Camilla. Concept art was created with Kit, Colt, and Gadget. In the end, all that was taken over into the final version were Gadget with some modifications, Colt with a new name and a new species, much of Kit's attitude plus his aviator jacket for Chip, and the name Chirp Sing for an entirely different character.
** It was also originally going to have Bernard and Bianca from ''[[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]]'' too.
** CDRR was planned to be crossed over with ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'', but the crossover never came to pass.
* [[What Does This Button Do?]]: Toggle the hover mode on the Ranger Wing ("Song of the Night 'n Dale").
* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: For example, "A Fly in the Ointment" is one big reference to the recently remade movie ''[[The Fly]]''.
Line 765 ⟶ 719:
* [[Wicked Witch]]: Why, Winifred from "Good Times, Bat Times" of course.
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: Used in several episodes. Not always with an accent, though. Dale is particulary famous for this.
* [[Wild Take]]: Even villains do them, see Bubbles at the end of "The Case of the Cola Cult".
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://www.rangerwiki.net The Ranger Wiki]
* [[Wishplosion]]: "A Lad in a Lamp".
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Many of the episode titles and a couple of lines.
Line 775 ⟶ 728:
** Ming-Ting from "An Elephant Never Suspects".
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Dale puts his alien clone in a Boston Crab.
* [[Write What You Know]]: Explains why certain locations in the show are clearly located in Hollywood or Burbank (Lankershim Blvd/Cahuenga Blvd are mentioned, Bob Hope Airport is shown).
* [[Wunza Plot]]
* [[X-Ray Sparks]]: Has happened to all the Rangers at least once.
Line 783 ⟶ 735:
* [[You're Just Jealous]]: Dale to Chip so many, many times.
* [[Your Size May Vary]]:
** The best--butbest—but certainly not sole--examplesole—example would be Queenie from "Risky Beesness". She is meant to be [https://web.archive.org/web/20140910171738/http://cdrr.kalaydina.ru/trivia/img/b_09-QueenySize1_small.jpg about twice as tall as Zipper], but she is depicted so inconsistently that she seems to have temporarily grown [https://web.archive.org/web/20150428004931/http://cdrr.kalaydina.ru/trivia/img/b_09-QueenySize3_big.jpg taller than Gadget] in a scene near the end of the episode.
** "Bearing Up Baby". The size dissonance is so extreme that [https://web.archive.org/web/20160310052410/http://cdrr.kalaydina.ru/trivia/img/b_10-MontyBaby_bigmontybaby_big.jpg Monty is about three quarters as tall as Jeremy]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20160306151306/http://cdrr.kalaydina.ru/trivia/img/b_10-MontyBaby_smallmontybaby_small.jpg This] would be more realistic.
** Also, Winifred's list in "Good Times, Bat Times" which varies from handy size for rodents to way larger than Foxglove. This is particularly obvious because Foxy gets to hold the same list in several different sizes.
