Line 48:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Ace shows shades of this sometimes, and other times gets [[Wrong Genre Savvy|served]]. And once or twice, [[Double Subversion|served again]].
* [[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.
{{quote| Ace: "[[Deadpan Snarker|You really know how to deflate a guy's alter ego, kid.]]" }}
* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: Mad Dog wears only a vest, fedora, spats, and a collar(!)
Line 59:
* [[Polka Dot Paint]]: Whenever something is drawn, it's done this way.
* [[Private Eye Monologue]]
* [[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.
{{quote| Ace: "[[Leaning On the Fourth Wall|This is getting silly...]]"<br />
Baron Von Rottweiler: "Ja, it's not something I'd want mamma to see." }}
Line 68:
* [[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.
{{quote| Bowser (just smashed a hole in the wall as the door is blocked by a panicking Eliot, Bruno and Artie): "[[The Shining|Here's Bowser!]] [[Brick Joke|And I brought the tools.]]"}}
* [[Speech-Impaired Animal]] (Mad Dog; subverted by being in a world full of [[Talking Animal|Talking Animals]])
