Line 1: {{work}} ~~{{quote box\|~~[[File:Here_Comes_The_Grump_8128.jpg\|frame]]}} {{quote\|''"[[Title Theme Tune\|Here comes the Grump!]]''~~<br~~ /> ''[[Title Drop\|Here comes the Grump!]]''~~<br~~ /> ''[[Rule of Three\|Here comes the Grump!]]"''\|''The [[Theme Song]]''}} ''Here Comes the Grump'' is a [[~~Depatie~~DePatie-Freleng Enterprises]] [[Saturday Morning Cartoon]] that ran in 1969-1970 on [[NBC]]. [[Princess Classic\|Princess Dawn]], her [[Non -Human Sidekick]] Bip, and ordinary Earth teenager [[The Everyman\|Terry Dexter]] are being [[Stern Chase\|chased]] by the villainous Grump and his [[The Klutz\|klutzy]] [[The Alleged Steed\|Dragon]]. Each episode takes them to a new locale, where the heroes [[Magnetic Hero\|enlist the aid of the locals]] to try and get The Grump off their trail and maybe learn where to find the magical [[MacGuffin\|crystal key]] that will lift the Grump's spell of gloom from Princess Dawn's kingdom. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''Here Comes the Grump'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Adventure Towns]] * [[The Alleged Steed]]: Grump's dragon, [[Rule of Funny\|but only when it's funny]]. Line 16: * [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Grump's bow appears to have a bottomless quiver. * [[Cool Airship]]: The heroes travel around in a very unusual hot air balloon. * [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel in Distress]]: Princess Dawn, when captured. * [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: [[Once an Episode]]. * [[~~Everythings~~Everything's Better ~~With~~with Princesses]] * [[Expository Theme Tune]]: {{quote\| In a magic place~~<br />~~ There's a princess caught in a chase~~<br />~~ But no matter how fast she goes, right on her heels and toes~~<br />~~ Here comes the Grump! Here comes the Grump! Here comes the Grump! }} * [[Expy]]: The Grump is heavily based on [[Looney Tunes\|Yosemite Sam]], another [[Friz Freleng]] character. The dragon is based on Sam's dragon from "Knighty Knight Bugs". Line 28: * [[Here We Go Again]]: An atypical case in that the Grump usually catches up with our heroes again at the ''beginning'' of the episode, rather than the end. * [[Ironic Echo Cut]]: From "The Lemonade Sea": {{quote\| '''Princess Dawn:''' Do you suppose we've given Grump the slip?~~<br />~~ ''(cut to Grump)''~~<br />~~ '''Grump:''' You will ''never'' give Grump the slip! }} * [[Magnetic Hero]]: The protagonists often seek aid and shelter from the new characters they meet in each episode. * [[Motor Mouth]]: The Blabbermouth from "The Blabbermouth of Echo Island". * [[Non -Human Sidekick]]: Bip. * [[Parody Episode]]: [[Alice in Wonderland ~~(Literature)~~\|"With Malice In Blunderland"]] * [[Pepper Sneeze]]: Used to provoke the dragon's [[Sneeze of Doom\|explosive allergies]]. One episode even has a forest of pepper trees that grow pepper-shakers which sprinkle pepper on the dragon. * [[Planet of Hats]]: There's a town where everyone sleeps all day, a town where everyone has wheels, and many more.
