Delusions of Doghood: Difference between revisions

 

There's plenty of [[Shapeshifting]] tropes, but this one is a bit different. You see, these characters don't actually change form, they just ''think'' they do. This is whenever a character believes he is a dog or any other animal without actually being it.

* The forgettable French comedy movie ''[[Didier]]'' is about a dog that's somehow turned into a human, but keeps a dog mind and [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* In ''[[High Anxiety]]'', there's a mental patient who thinks he's a cocker spaniel.

* ''[[Monty Python]]'': the Silly Olympics includes the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjm_IdLCWc4#t=2m01s 3,000 Meter Steeplechase for People who Think They're Chickens].

* This was a subplot in ''[[The Tracey Fragments]]''. Like, she'd hypnotized her brother into thinking he was a dog, permanently or something. I'm too tired right now to double check that.

* ''[[Wild Wild West (Film)|Wild Wild West]]''. Artemus Gordon uses a spinning spiral disc to hyponotize General "Bloodbath" McGrath. He tells McGrath that he'll be Gordon's "little doggy" and commands him to speak. McGrath makes dog sounds, and Gordon tells him to speak in words. McGrath starts growling angrily and Gordon notices that his disc has stopped spinning. McGrath then attacks Gordon while growling and snarling at him.

* The Disney film ''You Lucky Dog'' has a dog psychic played by [[Growing Pains|Kirk Cameron]] who ends up inadvertently chanelling the personality of a rich man's St. Bernard whenever he gets excited.
