History WesternAnimation / HereComesTheGrump

* BizarreAlienBiology: Bip turns around by pulling in his head and tail, then popping them out again on the opposite sides. Oh, and he can detach his nose.

* CoolAirship: The heroes travel around in a very unusual hot air balloon, reminiscent of the B-Liner from In Search of the Most Amazing Thing, or any one of a number of Jules Verne [[{{Balloonacy}} Balloonacies]]. Given as a reward by the Bloonies for winning "The Bloonywoonie Battle" against the Grump.

* CurbStompBattle: "The Bloonywoonie Battle". The Bloonies attack the Grump with toy popguns. He responds with ''arrows''. Needless to say, even with Terry and Daphne constantly patching and re-inflating the soldiers, it's no contest until the King gets the bright idea to steal the Grump's quiver.

* NoEnding: Sadly, our heroes never do reach the Cave of the Whispering Orchids, or recover the crystal key.[[note]]There was a rumor that a finale had been storyboarded; the Whispering Orchids informed Dawn that the Grump was a projection of her own worst side; once she acknowledged this, the Crystal Key performed a FusionDance, re-uniting the two halves and freeing her kingdom. Since she now had the Grump's magic ability, she could send Terry back, and then did so, with her, Bip, and poor beleaguered Dragon living HappilyEverAfter![[/note]]

* [[KickTheDog Kick The Dragon]]:The Grump literally can't go five minutes without cussing out his poor dragon, usually over something he has no control over.

** The Shushers are quite obviously a LawyerFriendlyCameo of TheSmurfs, especially if you're familiar with their pre-television incarnations (e.g. pointed hats); indeed, the entire episode ''"The Grump Meets the Grouch-Grooch"'' is based on an old Peyo Smurf comic arc.

* MagneticHero: The protagonists often seek aid and shelter from the new characters they meet in each episode.

* ButtMonkey: The Grump, and how! Fitting, since he's an {{Expy}} of [[LoonieTunes Yosemite Sam.]]

* CoolAirship: The heroes travel around in a very unusual hot air balloon.

* {{Expy}}: The Grump is heavily based on [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Yosemite Sam]], another FrizFreleng character. The dragon is based on Sam's dragon from "Knighty Knight Bugs".

* HairOfGold: Princess Dawn, of course.

* SneezeOfDoom: The dragon's sneezes are a frequent source of amusing injuries for the Grump.
