Courage the Cowardly Dog: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

*** On the same token, a (possibly theatrical) movie was confirmed to be in the works, however, it never came to fruition.

* [[Adult Fear]]: Courage's parents get sent to Pluto and he's all alone until Muriel finds him.

* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Seriously, '''good luck''' trying to get Eustace and Di Lung to actually learn from their mistakes.

* [[Affably Evil]]: Freaky Fred. A psychopathic man with a [[Slasher Smile]], but his amusing rhyming makes him one of the more entertaining villains. Besides, {{spoiler|all he really does is [[Poke the Poodle|shave people and animals bald]].}}

* [[All Just a Dream]]{{spoiler|...OrWasItADream}}: "Cowboy Courage".

Line 57:

Line 58:

*** Ah, so he has a [[Freudian Excuse]].

* [[The Cassandra]]: Courage, he always notices that something is evil, while Muriel and Eustace usually are ignorant of it.

** The same thing can also be said about [[Fortune Teller|Shirley]].

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Usually using the same sound clip. Some like "The things I do for love!" and "What do I do? What do I do!?!" for Courage and "Stupid Dog!" for Eustace.

** He has another one that tends to go something like "Something weird's going on here, or my name's <strange, non-sequitir, or just plain incorrect name>! [[Don't Explain the Joke|...And it's not.]]"

Line 180:

Line 182:

* [[It Makes Sense in Context]]: A majority of the plot devices fall under this. Most memorably, an episode which took place in an old west setting had Courage, who took the role as sheriff, bribe the military to send in a stealth bomber to drop a piano on a zombified outlaw.

* [[Jerkass]]: Eustace (to a lesser extent) Courage's computer, Eustace's mom and brother, and Di Lung (the Chinese Punk Kid), whose catchphrase was "Watch where you're going, you fool!"

* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: While Di Lung's "watch where you're going, ya FOOL" [[Catch Phrase|catchphrase]] is usually '''extremely''' [[Hypocritical Humor|hypocritical]], his reason for yelling it in ''Food Of The Dragon'' is because said episode's titular dragon stepped on his car while he was buying groceries. Still, [[Fridge Brilliance|he still shouldn't have moved to Nowhere in the first place.]]

** Eustace actually [[Borrowed Catchphrase|uses Di Lung's catchphrase against him]] in order to point out how much of a hypocrite Di Lung is being after Di Lung bumps into him and knocks his hot dog out of his hands before then angrily yelling said [[Catch Phrase|catchphrase]] at him in ''Courage In The Big Stinkin' City''; however, [[Aesop Amnesia|Di Lung doesn't care]].

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Eustace sometimes fits this trope but just in rare cases - see "The Curse of Shirley" where at the end he gives his hat to the "kid version" of him in order to protect him from the rain.

* [[Kangaroo Pouch Ride]]: In the kangaroo monster episode.
