This cartoon was originally a bunch of shorts in ''[[Cow and Chicken]]''. Later on, it became a self-contained [[Spin-Off]]. 79 episodes were released between 1997 and 2000.
The show centered around a polite, hypercompetent, socially savvy weasel named I.M. Weasel in his daily life attending to many people's needs. Weasel is incredibly accomplished in countless fields, including medicine, law, politics, music, science, and more. And behind him is his 'friend', the extremely dim-witted I.R. Baboon, who is jealous of Weasel's talents and is constantly plotting to ruin him. Weasel is aware of this, but remains pals with Baboon anyway, possibly because he realizes Baboon is far too stupid to pose any real threat. After the first series of episodes, The Red Guy from ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'' also joined the main cast.
{{tropelist}}
* [[The Ace]]: I.M. Weasel (more noticeable in the early seasons), bordering on [[God Mode Sue]].
** [[Broken Ace]]: Later episodes start to show some dents in Weasel, he often shares the [[Butt Monkey]] role with Baboon, and gains a more neurotic and ego driven attitude as a result of being several times more intelligent (and usually far more considerate) than everyone else around him.
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like]]: Baboon hates it when Weasel saves him, because he knows that's only going to make Weasel even more beloved by the public.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Often the show's universe appears to almost equally brainless as Baboon, with Weasel usually playing the [[Only Sane Man]].
* [[The Ditz]]: Baboon.
* [[Wicked Weasel]]: averted with I.M. Weasel
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]
** ''This Bridge Not Weasel Bridge"

* [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]: Though Baboon and Weasel were usually at odds, there were episodes where they were comrades. By the end of the show's run they are more or less [[Vitriolic Best Buds]].
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
* [[Niche Network]]: ''The Airplane Channel''.
** At the end of a Wright Brothers documentary, the brothers decide to toast with a root beer float, after which the channel inexplicably becomes the Root Beet Float Channel.
* [[Nurse with Good Intentions]]: Loulabelle herself.
* [[Parody Sue]]: In early episodes, Weasel played [[The Ace]] rather genuinely. As the seasons progress however he becomes a more pretentious [[
* [[Personality Swap]]: The brain-switching episode.
* [[Piano Drop]]: Parodied in "I Am Cliched" (see [[Anvil on Head]] above).
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
* [[Take That]]: "I Am Cliched" is pretty much a slam on ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''.
{{quote|'''Weasel:''' [[Recycled Script|Your'e using old scripts!]] You crossed out [[Bugs Bunny]], then Buster, then scribbled in Weasel! }}
* [[The Devil Is a Loser]]: If he's not running some aimless fraudulent business, Red Guy will sometimes be the [[
* [[The Rival]]: Baboon in earlier seasons. Toned down in later episodes.
* [[This Is Sparta]]: Weasel's name declaration.
