Dog City: Difference between revisions

[[File:Dogcitylogo.jpg|frame| Or is that ''Eliot Shag's Dog City''?]]

 

'''Eliot:''' ''Well, sometimes it's just staring you in the face.'' }}

 

* [[Family-Friendly Firearms]] (Averted big time.)

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] (Colleen Barker's musical number)

'''Rowlf:''' HEY! ([[Beat]]) [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Welcome to family programming, folks!]] }}

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] (It's Muppet production, natch.)

* [[Gratuitous German]]: Baron Von Rottweiler, [[Card-Carrying Villain|full stop]].

* [["Growing Muscles" Sequence]]: Ya Gotta Have Hart, where in-universe [[Executive Meddling]] wanted Ace to become a superhero named "Wonder Dog", complete with [[Stock Super Powers|super strength, speed and leap tall obstacles]]. Ace disapproved of the meddling, but the idea of being [[Running Gag|dogly]] [[Fan Service|muscular]] didn't seem like a completely bad idea, judging by his reaction when Eliot pops his suit with a pencil.

* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Mad Dog wears only a vest, fedora, spats, and a collar(!)

** [[Psycho for Hire|Justified.]]

* [[Rubber Band History]]: Baron goes back to the time the pilgrims purchased the new world from the natives and made a better offer: squeak toys. This created a Bad Future where he rules. Somehow, Ace and Eddie had [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]] and, after visiting a timeline where Eddie ruled, went back to the past and made an even better offer: a technologically advanced (even for present time standards) fire hydrant the heroes took from the Eddie-ruled timeline.

* [[Scooby-Dooby Doors]]: "Comedy of Horrors", featuring blink-and-you'll-miss-them cameos of other characters, up until Ace and [[Card-Carrying Villain|Baron]] [[Gratuitous German|von Rottweiler]] crash.

Baron Von Rottweiler: "Ja, it's not something I'd want mamma to see." }}

** And then before the above exchange.

* [[The Scrappy]]: Eddie the newspup got turned into one in-universe for one episode, and then he was literally [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]. Whether he actually was a scrappy for the audience is a different story.

* [[Sexophone]]: Given that the animated segments are parodies of classic detective stories and [[Film Noir]], one would occasionally play for Rosie O'Gravy (specifically whenever Ace would think of her in his narrations).

* [[Show Within a Show]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: Way too many to name, but here's one example.

* [[Speech-Impaired Animal]] (Mad Dog; subverted by being in a world full of [[Talking Animal|Talking Animals]])

* [[Species Surname]] (most characters apart from Ace and Bugsy had vaguely dog [or cat] related names)
