Line 15:
** Also in episode 14: ''Million Scarlet Roses'' plays in the background when Wolf visits Zayats. The fact that he came over wearing fancy clothing and bringing cider and red flowers just boosts the [[Ho Yay]] [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[The Alleged Car]]: Wolf's car in episode 14 - a total junker with mismatched wheels, a coal-powered engine (complete with a chimney), an umbrella for a brake, shoebrushes for windshield wipers, a bicycle handlebar for a steering wheel and a Mercedes-Benz hood ornament. It falls apart after Wolf gets out of it, but magically comes together as he gets in it later.
* [[All Just a Dream]]: Episode 16, where Wolf passes out on the beach and dreams he's living in a world of Russian folk tale legends. Also Episode 9, where Wolf is [[Trapped in TV Land]], but it's ultimately revealed as a hallucination induced by a broken TV set. [[Or Was It a Dream?]]
* [[A Dog Named "Dog"|A Wolf Named Wolf]]: So is Hare.
* [[Amusement Park]]: Setting for Episode 2.
* [[Ass in A Lion Skin]]: In one short, the Wolf is thrown out of a TV studio when he tries to sneak in, and keeps re-entering in attempted disguises as other animals (e.g., wearing a black-and-white striped shirt and claiming to be a zebra, or dropping on all fours with a big bowl on his back and proclaiming to be a tortoise). None of these work.
Line 29:
* [[Furry Confusion]]: One episode had Wolf running from an anthropomorphic lion, and another episode had him locked in a cage with a ''real'' lion.
* [[Hair Trigger Avalanche]]: The Wolf triggers this after chasing the Hare on a ski lift in Episode 8, merely by whispering his [[Catch Phrase]].
* [[I Am Not Spock]]: Anatoly Papanov, an [[Classically -Trained Extra|extremely talented actor who voiced Wolf]], hated being [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice|associated with the role]].
* [[Instant Dogend]]
* [[Licensed Game]]: A release as a title from the [[Elektronika IM]] series of handheld games (said handheld is pictured on said trope's page).
Line 38:
* [[New Year Has Come]]: Episode 8 (it looks like Christmas, but this is Soviet Russia).
* [[No Cartoon Fish]]
* [[Non -Mammal Mammaries]]: The series uses this. Amusingly, sows are depicted as having more than one pair of breasts.
* [[Pint -Sized Powerhouse]]: The Olympics episode has the Wolf mistake an Asian hare for the Hare. The Asian hare is wearing a robe, has quite obviously slanted eyes, bows to the Wolf as a greeting, and then proceeds to beat him up when the Wolf attacks.
* [[Product Placement]]: To an embarrassing degree in the 1990s revival episodes (17 and 18), [[Why WereWe're Bummed Communism Fell|made after the fall of Communism.]]
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Wolf is almost always wearing a pink shirt. He also has pink ''[[Goofy Print Underwear|flower-printed boxers]]''.
* [[Recurring Character]]: The most frequent one is a hippopotamus who the Wolf always accidentally antagonizes while chasing after the Hare, much to the Wolf's eventual regret. A cat magician also pops up from time to time.
Line 48:
* [[Silence Is Golden]]: Other than the Wolf's [[Catch Phrase]] line, there is very little dialogue.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Wolf was originally portrayed as more of a law-breaking rebel with a bad smoking habit. He's quit by episode 20, though, replacing his trademark crooked cigarette with a lollipop.
* [[Super -Powered Robot Meter Maids]]: One episode had Wolf stumbling on a robot replacement for Hare. All it did was mutter "Hare. Wolf." over and over. Wolf hits it once, and it turns into a killing machine with [[Eye Beams]] and hands that shoot electricity.
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: Oddly, the little hare, who, despite sporting long eyelashes, big blue eyes and pink cheeks, engaging in girly activities such as watering flowers and being voiced by a woman, is (the artist insists) a male.
** There's no [[Viewer Gender Confusion]] in this case, because the hare in question is called/named just the Hare, and the Russian word for "hare" ("Zayats") is masculine by default, implying that the Hare is indeed a boy. Don't ask. He is also wearing shorts. The trope ''is'' played straight with a lot of other anthropomorphic animals appearing in the series, whose genders are determined mostly through the pants vs. skirt method.
Line 56:
* [[Trapped in TV Land]]: Episode 9, except it's a real TV studio rather than a fictional TV universe where Wolf is trapped.
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Wolf in the [[Christmas Special|New Year episode]], dressed as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snegurochka The Snow Maiden]. [[Ho Yay|Yep, you heard that right.]]
** The Wolf does it again in episode 19. This time, he steals a sow's swimsuit, [[Paper -Thin Disguise|and actually passes off as her]] until he takes his hat off. Note that female pigs in this show wear ''three bras'' and are extremely fat.
* [[Wafer -Thin Mint]]: In one episode, the Wolf had barely managed to lift a very heavy barbell, when a butterfly lands on it, with predictable results.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Hare does this on one occasion. Unluckily, he's dressed like a famous Russian singer and he happens to get stuck on stage in front of hundreds of fans.
