* [[Anvilicious]]: Has this show mentioned the fact that you shouldn't judge people by their appearances and/or abuse animals yet?
* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]:▼
* [[Awesome Art (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Art]]: "''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' meets real life", complete with numerous '''stunningly''' brilliant utilizations of [[Art Shift]].
** A dragon coming out of absolutely nowhere(pun not intended) and eating [[Butt Monkey|Eustace]] in the last five seconds of the episode.▼
* [[Awesome Music]]: See [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].
** Eustace getting mauled by a Siberian Tiger while deer hunting.▼
** Seems as though animals are always coming out of nowhere to attack Eustace, as he got attacked by a giant squirrel in "Family Business".▼
** Most of Courage's nightmares from the last episode could count, especially that [[Nightmare Fuel|blue thing]]. It really had no importance to the rest of the episode except to scare you straight and it really wasn't seen or mentioned again in those other nightmares.▼
** The way [[Complete Monster|Katz]] gets defeated in "Katz Under the Sea".▼
** Di Lung appearing out of absolutely nowhere during important scenes and then yelling "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YA FOOL" for a nearly-always [[Hypocritical Humor|hilariously hypocritical]] reason. [[Running Gag|At least ten times, no less.]]▼
** "Snowman's Revenge" has Snowman breaking out into a [[So Bad It's Good]] musical number about... a chilly love story? Huh?▼
** "Courage Meets The Mummy" opens with an archeologist dusting off a gem inside the Mayan temple, which then shoots out a beam of light which gets reflected off some things and causes a disco ball to come out of the ceiling while some music plays for a brief moment. Afterwards, the archeologist just shrugs it off and continues dusting off the gem stone.▼
* [[Complete Monster]]:
** Katz. Most of the villains are sort of cartoonishly ineffectual, even if they are loaded with [[Nightmare Fuel]], but Katz is implied to have successfully killed many, many victims
{{quote|"Care for a bit of sport before dying, dear boy?"}}
** The Great Fusilli initially seems like a [[Affably Evil|charming (if somewhat sinister) traveling magician]] taking his show on the road, and allows Courage
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]:
** The soundtrack to the episode "The Tower of Dr. Zalost".
Line 27 ⟶ 21:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:
** Freaky Fred.
** Di Lung. The recurring Asian guy.
** King Ramses
** The computer.
* [[Ethnic Scrappy]]: [[Asian Rudeness|Di]] [[Nouveau Riche|Lung]] leans heavily on many Chinese and Asian stereotypes and is very much unlikeable (to the point where he actually makes Eustace look like a ''good'' person at times).
* [[Evil Is Cool]]: Say what you will about Katz, but he is '''definitely''' one seriously smooth bastard.
** Despite being '''the''' absolute biggest [[Jerkass|douchebag]] in the entire series, [[Insufferable Genius|Di]] [[Asian Rudeness|Lung]] is basically how "cool" of a person Eustace ''wishes'' he could be (wears [[Cool Shades|utterly badass-looking sunglasses]] and drives a [[Cool Car|vintage hot rod]], is ''[[Nouveau Riche|obscenely]]'' [[Nouveau Riche|rich]] and lives in a [[Big Fancy House|mansion]], is a [[Mad Scientist]] who can easily just ''[[Smart People Build Robots|build]]'' a better dog for himself rather than having to look for a new one, is actually able to survive on his own without being utterly reliant on his wife, etc).
** Dr. Zalost, who rides around in a '''mechanical castle''' and has absolutely ''amazing'' theme music.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: the Queen of the Black Puddle is one of ''CTCD'''s only conventionally attractive characters...and [[To Serve Man|eats people]].
** Katz also easily qualifies if you're a furry...although [[Aroused By Their Voice|his voice]] certainly helps...
Line 37 ⟶ 33:
** Courage, Muriel, and Eustace together as a group is usually called "the Bagges" or "the Bagge family" by fans.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Frequently.
* [[Hype Backlash]]: Mostly a result of how much people such as [[The Mysterious Mr. Enter]] have boasted about how "emotional" and "terrifying" they consider the show to be (despite the fact that the show is mostly just a [[Darker and Edgier]] ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' mixed with a [[Darker and Edgier]] ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', with a ''ton'' of [[Surreal Horror]] and [[Art Shift|Art Shifting]] thrown in).
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Eustace, in his more humane moments.
* [[Les Yay]]: Kitty and Bunny from the episode "The Mask".
Line 47 ⟶ 41:
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Eustace crosses this in "Ball for Revenge" when he gathers up many villains to kill Courage.
** As for Katz, [[Crosses the Line Twice|good luck guessing which of his many evil deeds helps him cross it.]]
** Basically every episode that [[A Day in the Limelight|gives Di Lung a major role]] features him ''easily'' crossing it, especially when he [[Curb Stomp Battle|makes Mecha-Courage beat Courage to death]] [[Unsexy Sadist|for his own amusement]] in ''Courage VS Mecha-Courage''.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: A lot of the more surreal stuff. It even has it's own [[Courage the Cowardly Dog/Nightmare Fuel|page]].

Afterwards, the archeologist just shrugs it off and continues dusting off the gem stone.
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: Kitty could see Eustace and Muriel doing things in secret (sneaking cake, not fixing things) when they couldn't tell.
* [[Periphery Demographic]]
* [[Seasonal Rot]]:
* [[Signature Scene]]s: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFDldk9D_Qc "You're Not Perfect"], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pWC-4dx3Q0 "Return The Slab"] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-E3ysa-eDI "The Violin Girl"] are easily the show's three most iconic examples of [[Nightmare Fuel|nightmare-inducing]] [[Art Shift]]s ...which are the main reasons for its popularity.
* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]: See the [[Anvilicious]] entry above this one.
* [[Squick]]:
** The idea of on of the Valkyries falling in love with the ''incredibly'' disgusting Troll king, and soon the other Valkyries and the trolls falling in love is just
** The entire "The Clutching Foot" episode. Namely the scene where [[Nausea Fuel|Courage licks the foot as a cure]].
* [[Tear Jerker]]: "The Last Of The Star Makers". *sniffle*
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: Many of the show's secondary characters get little screen time despite their plot potential, but Di Lung especially stands out, being a rich and badass Asian version of Eustace who usually only appears for about five seconds per episode (so that he can yell "[[Catch Phrase|WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YA FOOL]]" at random people as one of the show's ''many'' [[Comic Relief]] sources).
* [[Ugly Cute]]: Most of the show's characters, due to its art style. One example is The Hunchback Of Nowhere.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: The Magic Tree of Nowhere, the first nightmare in the episode "Perfect", the Harvest Moon in "The House Of Discontent", the [[Demon Head|scary]] violin-playing girl in "Courage In the Big Stinkin' City", and King Ramses' in "King Ramses' Curse".
* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: A lot of people probably think ''Courage'' is for an adult audience with all the strange horror.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]
* [[The Woobie]]: Courage takes ''a lot'' of crap, and a lot of the other characters have dealt with troubling pasts.
** The Hunchback of Nowhere.
** In direct contrast to most "villains", Freaky Fred is a perfectly kind individual whose shaving... ''thing'' lost him his pet, his girlfriend, his job, and landed him in a mental institution.
