Stunt Dawgs: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

The premise, which was as off-kilter as the humor, focused on a group of stunt men (and one woman) aptly named the Stunt Dawgs, who live to perform the most deadly and insane stunts that no other stunt person would ever chance doing. Their rivals were the Stunt Scabs, a ragtag group of derelict stunt performers who were employed by a crazed director, who hated the Stunt Dawgs with a vengeance, and would come up with ways to either get them under his tyrannical employ, or cause them as much physical pain as humanly possible.

* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Sizzle had this happen to her in two episodes, ("Casting Call" & "Bad Day at Badwater") no doubt to the delight of males everywhere.

* [[The Cameo]]: [[Inspector Gadget]], (which was produced by DIC as well), appeared briefly in one episode, almost getting run over by the Dawgs. One of them even [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|broke the fourth wall]] by telling him he was in the wrong cartoon.

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Whiz Kid.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The show did this quite often, particularly with the names Richard P. and R. Peter Fungus. However, it goes beyond mere names. The show's predicaments, evil plans, catch-phrases, devices, minor characters and so forth seemed to wander into this territory as often as not. One example is Sizzle calling something "as funny as a wet toilet seat."

* [[Hollywood Cyborg]]: Half-a-Mind.

* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Needham's first name is used only once in the entire series. And yes, it's Hal, just like his [[Real Life]] counterpart.
