Line 50:
* [[Fat Idiot]]: Ruff.
* [[Fear of Thunder]]: Ruff. He and Blossom are also afraid of vacuum cleaners, though this is also rather [[Truth in Television]].
* [[Female Feline, Male Mutt]]: Blossom manages the sass without saying a single word.
* [[Final Exam Finale]]: Every season has ended with one of these, including a ''literal'' final exam near the end.
* [[Adobe Flash|Flash Animation]]
Line 59:
* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen]]: Neither Charlene, the poodle Ruff has a crush on, nor Spot Spotnik, his [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|arch nemesis]], have ever been seen other than in pictures.
* [[Hollywood Nerd]]: <s>Glen</s> '''Glendalf'''
** [[Shout -Out]]: This character's name may very well be a nod to show head writer Glen Berger.
* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: At the end of season 3.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: ''It's not a garage!''
Line 77:
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: In a challenge on season five, Marc and Shreya meet with a hand model who calls them pretty much any names starting with "M" or "S" other than their own.
* [[Name's the Same]]: There have been two Brians (one in Season 1 the other in Season 4 spelled with a "y") two Jays (one in Season 3 and one in Season 5), two Sams ("Sam" for the boy and "Sammy" for the girl who were both in Season 3) and two Marks (One was "Mark" and the other was "Marco").
* [[Ninety Percent90% of Your Brain]]: Explored and subverted in season 2.
* [[Only Sane Employee]]: Blossom
* [[Overly Long Name]]: [[Everything's Better With Princesses|Princess]] Blossom Pepperdoodle von Yum-Yum. Mainly a parody of people who give this kind of name to pet cats.
Line 87:
* [[Repetitive Name]]: Ruff Ruffman. It was later parodied in a Superhero episode when Glen asks him to become "Ruffmanman".
* [[Rule of Three]]: There will be episodes where a team of three have to take a challenge, when all six FETCHers are in a challenge, they're split into three groups of two or vice versa. There's the three main "hosts" of FETCH! (Ruff, Blossom and Chet) and there are three challenges before the quiz at the finale, etc.
* [[Shout -Out]]: In the intro sequence for the fourth season, Chet the mouse is seen flying around, destroying stuff. Ruff comments on this using a rotating series of phrases and one of them is, "You know, I bet [[Arthur (Animation)|Arthur]] doesn't have to deal with stuff like this." ''Arthur'' is another production of WGBH Boston.
** There was also a sly reference to a ''[[Sesame Street]]'' song at the end of one episode.
** The haunted house episode in season 5 has a fair few ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' shoutouts. This was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] when Ruff asks if he's allowed to say "Zoinks!".
Line 93:
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: The rivalry between Ruff and Scruff creates the challenges for the Season 3 finale.
* [[Similar Squad]]: Tom and Trixie (and their show: "Go Get It!") in Season 5.
* [[Five -Token Band|Six Token Band]]: Justified, as the kids are drawn from the Boston metro area, which is fairly diverse. Usually no mention is made of any of the contestant's ethnic background, other than the occasional mention of ethnic cuisine.
* [[Skyward Scream]]: Done a couple of times.
