Under the Umbrella Tree: Difference between revisions

This series contained examples of:

* [[Anime Hair]]: Both Iggy and Jacob had a set. With Jacob it was at least justified (he was a bird, and it was a crest of feathers).

* [[Long-Lost Uncle Aesop]]: There was the time that Gloria's wealthy "Aunt Gloxinia" died and Gloria inherited the services of her butler. This butler was a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] who constantly shadowed her and forbade her to do many things (such as eat ice cream, for example) because "Your Aunt Gloxinia never [did X]." This eventually drove Gloria to scream in frustration: "My Aunt Gloxinia isn't ''me''!" The problem was eventually resolved when the butler quit his job, admitting that even he had become sick of all the social pretension.

* [[Butt Monkey|Monkey Ball]]: Although usually [[The Comically Serious]], Holly could be counted on to get herself humiliated from time to time for a cheap laugh. A notable example was an episode when she dressed in a gorilla suit and went around the neighborhood performing singing telegrams in order to make extra money — but [[Coincidental Accidental Disguise|got mistaken for an actual gorilla]], captured by zookeepers, and was taken to a local zoo where she was locked in a cage for several hours! And in an episode where one of Iggy's relatives visits from the Southwest, Holly undergoes a [[Humiliation Conga]] that includes her sitting on a cactus and burning her mouth on some spicy chili.
