''[[Timon and Pumbaa]]'' is a cartoon starring Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog from the Disney franchise ''[[The Lion King]]''. The show first aired on [[CBS]] from 1995 to 1998. it has been rerunning on various [[Disney]] channels ever since.
It largely [[Alternate Continuity|ignores the canon]] of ''[[The Lion King]],'' focusing on characters alone. And instead of the realistic style of the movies, it goes for [[Surreal Humor]]. It didn't even stay in Africa. But, for what it is, it isn't bad.
The song "Hakuna Matata" was the musical theme of the series, and the philosophy of [[Hakuna Matata]] ("no worries") was the narrative theme.

* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Zazu and the Hyenas had their own episodes.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In an episode about Manhattan, Pumbaa says that he wants to see a musical about "Guys and Dolls". This was because the voice actors of Timon and Pumbaa were in that musical.
* [[Alternate Continuity]]
* [[Art Major Biology]]: In ''Beetle Romania'', a quite large portion of Pumbaa's body looks like the interior of an extremely well-built house/building.
* [[Balloon Belly]]: Happens in many episodes.
** First, in Brazil Nuts, we see a fat Timon. This form of Timon uses strange words like "yay big", "baby" and "flant it", things Timon wouldn't say in his normal form. He even stuffs a dollar bill in Ralph the snake's eye.
Line 29:
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: The midquel focusing on Timon and Pumbaa's lives ignores this series, though it could be argued that the series was never intended to be in canon with the film to begin with.
** That said, the midquel does have some similarities to their origin story that appeared in this series.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Timon most of the time. Oddly, Pumbaa takes this role in the "Stand By Me" video.
* [[Clear My Name]]
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* [[Hammerspace]] In "Luck to be A Meerkat", Pumbaa has a lot of things in his belly when Timon wants to find a place to store the "lucky marble".
** In "Island of Manhood", one of the things Timon must do to pass the manhood test is carry a backpack with a ton of things on top of it.
* [[Here We Go Again]]: The show's most notable example of this would have to be Timon getting re-eaten by Pumbaa almost-immediately after finally escaping from his body in ''Beetle Romania''.
* [[Hilarity Ensues]]
* [[Illogical Safe]]: A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqifngsT94U short in which Pumbaa suffers a run of bad luck] has this happening to Pumbaa -- and then, as soon as he's out of the safe, it happens again with a ''space capsule''.
