Line 28:
* [[Cult Soundtrack]]: The soundtrack is the most popular thing to come out of this movie.
* [[Death by Sex]]: The entire universe, courtesy of Jack and Holli. Well, [[Epileptic Trees|supposedly.]]
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The MOTHER''mother'' of all non-[[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] deus ex machinas. It just so happens after Frank is killed that when a Noid is killed by a Doodle, they become a Doodle themselves, permitting him to live again.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: See above. The movie was intended to be an erotic horror flick about a cartoonist fathering an angsty [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half-Doodle daughter]] with a Doodle by the name of Debbie Dallas, but producer Frank Mancuso Jr. and Kim Basinger nixed that at the last minute to make it [[Completely Missing the Point|more kid-friendly]] and theturn it into the complete and total bomb we know it as.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Holli.
* [[Gainax Ending]]: The SNES game. As in many other [[The Problem with Licensed Games|licensed games]] of that era, [[A Winner Is You]] was in full effect. {{spoiler|1=The game ends with the protagonist's fall into Cool World... ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6ijsDn3i2U only reversed.]''}} That's it, really.
Line 52:
* [[Private Detective]]: Frank Harris
* [[Punny Name]]: Holli Would = Hollywood
* [[Roger Rabbit Effect]]: The reason it isn't called the"The Holli Would Effect". But this film ''did'' give the trope its alt title, [[Noids and Doodles]].
* [[Self Insert]]: Jack Deebs is a cult-popular cartoonist with a small but dedicated fandom, who hasn't had a real success in years and is mostly known in the mainstream as a dark weirdo. He longs for hot cartoon women and his idea of utopia is a roiling chaos of cartoon insanity with distinct sexual overtones. Yeah, more than a few people have connected the dots.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Frank has a very brief war flashback after the accident.
Line 63:
* [[That's All Folks]]:
{{quote|'''Nails''': Bye bye folks, have a nice life!}}
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]: ItsIt's one of the few animated films that wasn't aimed for kids during this time.
* [[Toon Physics]]
* [[Toon Town]]: The titular Cool World, although itsit's more screwed up.
* [[Trapped in Another World]]: Jack Deebs gets pulled inside the titular Cool World by Holli.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Frank uses one of these when delivering his lecture to Jack about the no Noid-Doodle sex law
{{quote|'''Frank''': [[Unusual Euphemism|You keep your pencil in your pocket.]] Know what I mean?}}
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Bob, though he's harmless, if annoying.
* [[Viva Las Vegas]]: The film is set in Las Vegas.
* [[Wag the Director]]: Actress Kim Basinger is responsible for the movie being toned down to a PG-13 movie. She wanted to make a movie that she could show in hospitals to sick children. Mancuso agreed with her. Bakshi was baffled.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Nails is allergic to clouds.
