Line 65:
** The second Foggy short ''Crowing Pains'' features the only instance of [[Sylvester Cat and Tweety Bird|a certain black cat]] living on the farm.
* [[Escalating War]]: Many cartoons centered on the perpetual Foghorn vs. Mandrake back-and-forth. Which character starts the conflict varies from toon to toon, but Foggy usually ends up getting the worst of it.
* [[I Resemble That Remark]]: [[The Marx Brothers| Groucho Marx]] may be the [[Trope Namer]], but Foggy could well be the [[Trope Codifier]].
* [[If It Was Funny the First Time]]: The joke he makes about keeping his feathers numbered was used in at least two cartoons.
* [[The Golden Age of Animation]]
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: In one cartoon when his feathers are blown off he is shown to have polka-dotted boxers underneath them.
* [[Jerkass]]: To an extent, Foghorn is an obnoxious loudmouth and a [[Screwy Squirrel|prankster]], but does have [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|occasional moments of good intentions]].
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Camptown Races" for ol' Foggy, either played on the soundtrack or sung by Foghorn himself.
Line 81 ⟶ 84:
** In ''Walky Talky Hawky'', Henery drags off in a line Foghorn, Barnyard Dog and ''a horse''.
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]
* [[Rolling Pin of Doom]]: Miss Prissy tries this in order to get a husband in one cartoon. After she tries it on Foggy, he advises her, "You're going about it all wrong. You don't bat 'em on the bean with a rolling pin. ''(Aside, to the camera)'' [[Deadpan Snarker| ''That'' comes later]]."
* [[Rube Goldberg Device]]: Occasionally either Foghorn or Mandrake gets dragged through one of these or has theirs backfire on them.
* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: Foghorn seems to enjoy pulling pranks on the dog responsible for keeping him and the other chickens safe, for no reason at all. Although, sometimes the dog ''is'' the one who starts it...
Line 86 ⟶ 90:
* [[Strictly Formula]]: Averted for the most part. While his bouts with Henery Hawk often utilized a recurring formula, Foghorn's shorts were rather diverse compared to a lot of other characters in the ''Looney Tunes'' series, never quite sticking to one running scenario for more than two or three instances.
* [[Talks Like a Simile]]: "Nice girl, but about as sharp as sack of wet mice."
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Foggy and Barnyard Dawg, sometimes.
** Also clearly applies to Foggy and his old college roommate, Rhode Island Red; in the one episode where he shows up, Foggy does ''everything'' he can to get the guy to leave, except just telling him to leave, suggesting the trope applies to them. Indeed, Red is pretty annoying.
