Line 150:
* [[The Cape]]
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: The mouse donning the superhero suit in 1943's ''The Lion And The Mouse'' only bore the resemblance of Super Mouse of him in flight. Otherwise, this mouse had stubby legs, a paunch, and was pathetically inebriated.
* [[Card
* [[Catch Phrase]]: ''"Heeeere I come to save the day!"''
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]
Line 165:
* [[Opera]]: Many of the original Terrytoons shorts had all their dialogue ''sung,'' opera-style.
* [[Panty Shot]]: Seen [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/puffuncle/port.jpg here] in 1945's ''The Port Of Missing Mice'' and [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/puffuncle/wolf.jpg here] in the same year's ''Mighty Mouse and the Wolf''. Pearl had a couple, albeit she was wearing ankle-length pantaloons.
* [[Pint
* [[Power
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Delivered by, of all characters, Pearl Pureheart:

Line 191:
* [[Deranged Animation]]: Yes, a heaping pile of it.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Subverted, then played straight. Until the "crushed flower controversy", the network didn't care what Bakshi and co. produced each week.
** Also of note: Season 2's "Bat With A Golden Tongue" was presumed to be a make-good for the "crushed flower" scene in that it entailed Mighty Mouse's efforts to break Bat-Bat of his joke-telling addiction. Bat-Bat's final line to the viewers was "Just say no to canned laughter." For some reason, [[
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Loose caricatures of Michael Jackson and William Shatner are seen in "A Star Is Milked." Ralph Bakshi's caricature turns up frequently throughout the series.
** In issue #10 of the Marvel comic, Pat Sajak, Johnny Carson, Ed McMahon, David Letterman, Andrew "Dice" Clay and Arsenio Hall are caricatured as funny animals.
Line 199:
** In issue #10 of the Marvel comic, Pearl Pureheart boycotts the rest of the issue because of Andrew "Mice" Clay's appearance. This refers to Nora Dunne refusing to appear on [[Saturday Night Live]] at the time due to Andrew "Dice" Clay's appearance.

* [[Off
* [[Stock Footage]]: The high-quality animation came at a cost. To keep down costs, some episodes are comprised entirely of old footage of 1950s Mighty Mouse cartoons with a new soundtrack. You can pretty much skip these on the DVD, unless you're a big fan of the poor covers of 1960s songs they play in the background.
* [[Take That]]: "Don't Touch That Dial" is a particularly biting satire of [[Hanna-Barbera]], [[Anime]], and the [[The Dark Age of Animation]] of the 1980's.
