Courage the Cowardly Dog: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]: The titular dog is pink with black spots.

** Also, Katz is a fire engine red cat with purple stripes, Shirley the Medium is a green chihuahua, the Duck Brothers are bright blue with green, purple, and red eyes and neck markings, and there has been a chicken with an electric blue wattle (Although, to be fair, the chicken and ducks were from outer space. Maybe they're the fowl versions of [[Human Aliens]]?)

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Mad Dog looks (and acts) like a highly stereotypical [[Scary Black Man]] and has rather-distinctly brown fur, but fur colors are not necessarily the same thing as skin colors.

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: "Modern" China looking '''considerably''' more like Ancient China in ''Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog''.

* [[Ask a Stupid Question]]: Courage always does this with the computer, though he isn't really asking a stupid question, it's how the computer interprets it. Here's an example:

{{quote|'''Courage:''' Computer. How do you get rid of bad eggplants?

'''Computer:''' Throw them in the garbage. You twit. }}

* [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]]: Dr. Vindaloo.

* [[Asshole Victim]]: Eustace

* [[Asshole Victim]]: Eustace and Di Lung are perhaps the show's most notable examples of this.

* [[Audio Erotica]]: Katz, captivating his victims with his smooth sexy voice before he, you know, kills them.

** The Spirit of the Harvest Moon with his hot and deep voice can be frightening and cool at the same time.

Line 127:

** And Courage usually talked to other characters in the first season.

** This is lampshaded in some small, throwaway moments. For example, at the beginning of The Last of the Starmakers, Courage is on the porch and picks up the newspaper with his hand before putting it in his mouth and giving it to Eustace.

* [[General Failure]]: Mr. Frith's "General" form, to the point where [[Irony|he even fails to disarm one of his own bombs]] in ''Muriel Blows Up''.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The show's entire premise: mature themes of horror played ''straight'' in a show appealing to people of all ages and levels of maturity. Several more specific (and traditional) examples as well.

** Kitty and Bunny. How S&P didn't catch that is a mystery.

Line 140:

Line 143:

** There were hints that Courage was viewing an adult website in "Hard Drive Courage".

** "Freaky Fred". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvmV5ThD61I&feature=related Just watch for yourself.]{{spoiler|Hard to believe that they got away with [[Rape Tropes|that]].}}

* [[Gonk]]: It would be considerably easier to list the characters that are '''not''' one of these in this show.

* [[Good Is Dumb]]: Every single other good guy is a complete idiot in the series, to the point where they even ignore neon signs pointing at the villain.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Shirley and the Computer.
