Winnie-the-Pooh: Difference between revisions

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Just about anyone besides Eeyore. Kanga's a bit more stable, too, if a little overprotective.

* [[Common Knowledge]]: Everyone ''knows'' that Pooh and friends live in the Hundred Acre Wood -- except that they don't. "The Hundred Acre Woods" is actually just a small section of a much larger, nameless forest (based on and clearly meant to be Ashdown Forest in Sussex, but in the books just called "the Forest"). The only character who actually lived in the Hundred Acre Wood is Owl; the rest of them live in other parts of the Forest. Though this misconception is probably another result of [[Adaptation Displacement]]: in the Disney version, "The Hundred Acre Wood" is the name for the entire Forest.

* [[Cryptic Background Reference]]: "Don't you know what ''ther'' means?"

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Defictionalization]]: The game of Poohsticks now has its own world championships.

* [[Distressed Dude]]: Piglet, in the chapter in which he's Entirely Surrounded by Water

* [[Dumb Is Good]]

* [[The Eeyore]]: [[Trope Namers]].

* [[Kangaroos Represent Australia]]: Kanga and Roo.

* [[Kids Prefer Boxes]]: Pooh ''intends'' to give Eeyore a jar of honey... and then absentmindedly eats the honey. Eeyore doesn't actually like honey, but he's very happy to be given the empty jar.

** To Owl's credit, he's not particularly egotistical about it. Rabbit, now...

* [[Literal Minded]] and [[Malaproper]]: Everything, being based on children's logic. For example, the idea that Pooh living "under the name of Sanders" means that he has the word written above his door.

* [[Old Windbag]]: Owl

* [[Once Upon a Time]]: "...a very long time ago, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders."

* [[Parental Bonus]]/[[Genius Bonus]]: Many of the jokes will go straight over your average five-year-old's head.

* [[Picky Eater]]: Tigger
