{{tropelist}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Carrot gets a cameo in the Disney movie [[Bolt]].▼
* [[Academy
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: In one memorable episode, the movie ''[[Being John Malkovich]]'' is parodied as one by one each cast member discovers a mysterious doorway in back of the stage that transforms them into ferrets.
* [[Amusement Park]]: Several of the cast members work at one, and Mutt in particular is a big fan of roller coasters.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: From the official website: "THIS IS NOT A KIDS SHOW! It contains adult topics, accidental foul language, and rude smells."
* [[Babies Make Everything Better]]: JR and Yappy [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zemZGeWbNo&feature=related share their baby books].
**

* [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20150912001644/http://archives.pawpet.tv/view/2012/2012-01-29,Garrisonskunk-Anonymous-Quotes_01.jpg Quote 24]. The first two items were mentioned just before the quote in a discussion about chickens in live theatre.
* [[Broadcast Live]]
* [[Camp Gay]]: Skippy "Skippages" D. Lion
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Many many many over 10 years.

** Bitch Voop: "Raaaaaaaaaaasvaaaaaaaaaaaar!"
** Blitz: "I don't even know what that is!" (Although this is actually more a Mutt catchphrase ABOUT Blitz), "Oooohhhhh!", "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" (at weird times like a guy Darwining down an elevator), "Oh, I know this song! It's in [[Rock Band]]!".
** Carrot: "Bashweeeeeeeee!"
** Ezra: "Wikiwikiwikiwikiwiki!"
** Hugh Manatee: [[Endangered Species|"I'm endangered!"]] "Oh sunuvabitch! ''Beeblblblblblb...''" (referring to [http://pawpet.tv/doku.php?id=beeble beebling])

** Shak: "Is it full of delicious candy?" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjupfSpPr9w "EGGS AREN'T WATER!"]
** Everyone: "Who pooted?"
* [[Character Tics]]: Several. Derp the gator has his 'jazz hands,' Hugh rolls back and forth going 'flipper flipper flipper' as well as beebling, and Ezra scoots around on his back feetfirst while making the above mentioned 'wiki wiki wiki' noise.
* [[Chatroulette]]: From Episode 495 the Pawpets meet [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctHyvA-B80o 3 very "happy" girls].
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Poink T. Weasel
** Carrot is a literal chew toy, he is a dog toy repurposed into being a puppet.
* [[Clip Show]]: The "Acid Flashback Segments", although, since the show isn't rerun the audience enjoys them more than other show's clip show episodes.▼
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Java, Java, Java...▼
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: A few of these lead to the Swear Jar, and a dollar per swear fine.▼

▲* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: A few of these lead to the Swear Jar, and a dollar per swear fine.
▲* [[Cute but Cacophonic]]: Tantrum, the Peckers
▲* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Carrot gets a cameo in the Disney movie [[Bolt]].
▲* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: Though they tend to refrain from this (one show ended abruptly when a guest crossed the rating line ''hard''), a very literal example emerged in one situation where Blitz tires of the noise and apparently beats the [[Cute but Cacophonic|constantly shrieking baby fox puppet]] [[Meaningful Name|Tantrum]] to death with a suspicious vibrating implement. Every bit as inappropriate yet hilarious as it sounds.
* [[Dirty Old Man]][[Incredibly Lame Pun|atee]]: Hugh, whose interests and subjects of affection range from [[Likes Older Women|women in their golden years]] to [[Cargo Ship|Carvel's Fudgie the Whale.]]
* [[Dog Walks You]]: Bandit, Yappy's dog, frequently tries to herd the cast members and guests.▼

Blitz: "You have a taser?" (Please note they're sitting next to each other beneath the stage and ''can see each other's hands.'') }}▼
▲* [[Dog Walks You]]: Bandit frequently tries to herd the cast members and guests.
* [[Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off]]: Poink often brings up situations he dubs "Ass Beating Hours," where someone, most commonly his grandmother, would catch him misbehaving in some form or fashion and administer corporal punishment...creatively. ''Very'' creatively. He's admitted to being spanked with, among other things, a douche bag, a Stretch Armstrong toy, a piece of Hot Wheels track (with the pins exposed), and [[The Six Million Dollar Man]]. He admits he often deserves them though, having been a self-admitted hellraiser in his youth.

** ''The Drunk Show''.
** ''Episode 420''.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The show's first season has a few things that differ from the rest of the series.
** The show didn't have a theme song until Episode 4, when "Soul Bossa Nova" became its theme song. It would remain as the show's theme song until Episode 397, when it was replaced with 2 the Ranting Gryphon's "Pawpet Song."
** The first six episodes were filmed with Yappy's couch being used in place of a stage. From Episode 7 onward, an actual stage is used instead.
** The show itself didn't even have an official name until Episode 8, when it was announced that the show would be called, "The Funday Pawpet Show."
** In the first season, almost every episode ended with the closing credits theme from ''[[The Muppet Show]]''. From Season 2 to Season 17, the show would instead end with "Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Weiderschein" from ''The Lawrance Welk Show'' instead.

* [[Game Show]]: The show has presented versions of "Pawpet ''[[Match Game]]''", "Pawpet ''[[Hollywood Squares]]''", "Pawpet ''[[Deal or No Deal]]''" and "[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?|Who Wants to Win Nothing and Like It?]]"

When asked if he is ever greeted at the door by naked women, Jeff said he ''has'' in the past (there is a nudest colony on his route), but they are generally not the women you'd want to live this trope out with.
Line 115 ⟶ 88:
