** "Weather or Not" is full of them, from Bonkers mimicking [[Film/ThePinkPanther Jacques Clouseau]] and Literature/SherlockHolmes to [[Film/GoneWithTheWind Rhett, the Butler]] with his [[Creator/AlfredHitchcock Hitchcock]]-esque accent and request to [[Film/YoungFrankenstein "walk this way"]]. When The Weather Toons [[spoiler:reveal that they staged their own disappearance, Tony Tornado quips [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou "if it weren't for those meddlin' cops"]]]].

* OffModel: Couple of times. In one episode, when Bonkers took Lucky's shoe off, his foot was way too small, and his ankle unrealistically thin.
** Not to mention in another episode, when they found Lucky's shoe, one shot it's a shoe, another shot, it looked like a boot...
** In one scene in "Fall-Apart Land", Bonkers's nose is unusually large.

added trope I just found out about

Added DiffLines:

* DisobeyedOrdersNotPunished: In the episode "Weather or Not"; Lucky and Bonkers continued to pursue leads in solving the disappearance of the Weather Toons despite orders from Chief Kanifky not to pursue the case further. After the case is solved ([[spoiler:it turned out the Weather Toons staged their own disappearance]]); Kanifky outright tells Lucky that he wasn't sure whether to promote the two (for solving the case) or suspend them (for disobeying orders); ultimately sending him out with no disciplinary actions [[PointyHairedBoss so he could finish his sandwich]].

June Foray example added. Will be fixing this page over the next few weeks

Added DiffLines:

* AutomatedAutomobiles: Ma Parker the tow-truck (voiced by the late Creator/JuneForay), assisted by her minions Wooly and Bully, is an early example of this trope, [[OlderThanTheyThink from 1993]]. As a FillerVillain she only appeared in "Calling All Cars" where she was defeated on a demolition derby racetrack by the bobcat cop Bonkers. She also appears in the Sega Genesis game adaptation. She [[BitchInSheepsClothing presented herself as a nice character, but was totally bitchy in personality]] during the climax of the episode which revealed her real personality.
