The Bluffers: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Has absolutely nothing to do with cliff faces or people who are good at card games.

 

 

It follows some [[Woodland Creatures]] who live in the only patch of forest left in a [[Crapsack World|desolate land]] known as Bluffonia, which is ruled by the nasty dictator [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Clandestino]]. The Bluffers, as these critters are called, are obsessed with stealing Clandestino's "Secret to Getting It All," which they hope will save their forest.

 

* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]: The pink mouse. (Who also has a heart-shaped tail-tip!) The squirrel is blue, although [[Hair Color Dissonance|he could be meant to be actually grey]]. And why has the bear yellow stripes on his chest?

* [[An Aesop]]: While certain episodes may have an Anvilicious message or two, this is mostly subverted in that the entire series had an aesop about the danger of greed that was surprisingly subtle. Until you're told about it, that is.

* [[Cunning Like a Fox]]: Sharpey.

* [[Cut Short]]: The series was canceled before they could reveal what Clandestino's secret was.

* [[Five-Man Band]]:

** [[The Hero]]: Zipper the Squirrel

* [[Gang of Critters]]

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Glum, Clandestino's mistreated watchdog, though due to distrust on the part of the Bluffers and a desire for a warm bed he never gets to act on it aside from a few complaints.

* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: That bouncy, friendly main theme song is calling you names. In the English version, at least.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Clandestino. Subverted with shy Psycho the Snake whose name comes from his (very) minor psychic abilities.

* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Blossom in the English dub has a Southern Drawl. When she feels like it.

* [[The Owl-Knowing One]]: Zocrates is not only [[Named After Somebody Famous|named after an ancient Greek philosopher]], he is even dressed like a [[Hollywood History|stereotypical ancient Greek]], complete with laurel wreath on his head.

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Blossom the Mouse's sole purpose on the show seems to be "be a girl" and "flirt with obviously annoyed Zipper," though she is the only one who takes Glum's [[Heel Face Turn]] as genuine.

* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: Subverted with Psycho the Snake in that his speech impediment is putting silent "P"s in front of s-words and then pronouncing them. He still has a slight lisp, though.
