Line 46:
** This trope is also true of the majority of the ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'' shorts which this movie borrows heavily from. Perhaps it was done on purpose.
* [[Hand or Object Underwear]]: The outcome of the above-mentioned string factory episode. Ironically, the balls of thread Lars uses to cover his crotch appear to actually ''be'' his clothes in their unraveled form. Heh, heh, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|balls]].
* [[Heads -Tails -Edge]]: Attempted resolution to a [[There Is Only One Bed]] dilemma.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|After the house is completely destroyed, the mouse helps set the brothers off on a new future in making cheese string.}}
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: Lars
Line 65:
{{quote| ''"These are the cha-cha twins. They are not in ''Mouse Hunt''. Tell your friends."''}}
* [[Mouse Hole]]
* [[Nail 'Em]]
* [[Never Recycle a Building]]: Justified as the mouse drove out everyone who tried to live in the house.
* [[Non-Fatal Explosions]]: Ernie and Lars are both blown up by the mouse ''twice'' (the first time, Ernie is ''blasted from a chimney and into a nearby lake'') but luckily, they only have some soot on their faces and shredded clothes to worry about.
Line 76:
* [[Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts]]: This makes up a lot of the physical comedy.
* [[Self-Made Man]]: Rudolf Smuntz
* [[Shout -Out]]: If the whole plot wasn't reference enough, the Catzilla scene is basically a live-action [[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]] cartoon, even sporting some of the slapstick from there.
** "I know some people who used a mouse as a spokesperson. It turned out pretty well." Doubly funny when you realize that this movie was one of Dreamworks' first films, and they're one of Disney's main competitors.
* [[Sniff Sniff Nom]]: The mouse exterminator character mentioned above does this to judge the dietary habits of the titular mouse.
