* BigEater

* SneezeOfDoom:
** In the episode "Home Is Where the Bark Is", Lucky, Cadpig and Rolly make many attempts to escape from their old house (which they are trapped inside). In one of these attempts, they form a HumanLadder (or rather, dog ladder) to get out through the chimeny. However, the second after their totem was formed, Lucky (at the top) loosened some soot, which got into Rolly's nose, and his sneeze caused the totem to collapse.
** In another episode, "Goose Pimples", while Pug and Spot are hiding from Lock Jaw, Pug mentions this trope to Spot and tells her not to do it, but he ends up doing it.
** In "He Followed Me Home", a baby elephant the pups are trying to take care of ends up letting out a monster sneeze that sends the pups and Spot flying and crashing against the side of a farm silo.

* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: Spot claims that "Mystery" is his middle name as part of a spoof PrivateEyeMonologue.

** In "Mall Pups," Lt. Pug is knocked into a basket of toys which includes a [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Woody doll]].

*** In the Dutch version Cadpig is Floppy.

** This is most apparent with Pongo and Perdita, who were the main characters in the original movie but here, they are rarely given any focus, and even then, it’s as supporting characters, with the show having a greater emphasis on the pups’ relationship with Roger and Anita instead. See SpinOffspring below.

* GameBetweenHeirs: During a Family reunion, Malevola [=DeVil=] announced she'd bequeath her whole estate to the relative who takes Dearly Farm for her. [[spoiler:[[FailureIsTheOnlyOption Since nobody won the "game"]],]] see [[spoiler:InsurrectionistInheritor]] to learn who got the inheritance.

%% ** Pongo and Perdita. See SpinOffspring below.

* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler: The townspeople (and, for much of the episode, the Dearlys and the puppies) in "De Vil-age Elder" due to a curse placed on the town by the witch that makes them all delieriously happy and unwilling to leave]].

* ContinuityNod: In the pilot episode, when Cruella has the three main pups locked in their old home in the city to use as ransom for the farm, the pups try to escape through the chimney, but they fall and get covered in soot (in the original film(and book) the dogs covered themselves in soot to make Cruella think they were labradors). Lucky even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]]:

* CryingWolf: Lucky's constant exagerrations of the truth earns him this reputation in "Cruella World", which makes it so that no one believes him when he tells them that Cruella is using her theme park as a cover to pump for oil in the swamp.

* DaddysGirl: Dumpling is this to her father, Ed Pig, due to the latter constantly spoilering her and complimenting her.

** Jasper and Horace have their limelight episode in "Horace And Jasper's Big Career Move", a clip show in which they apply for new employment by exagerrating all of their odd jobs and criminal activities into huge successes.

** Pongo and Perdita. See SpinOffspring below.

* EpisodeTitleCard: the show used ones with the title on a spotted background. Most episodes alternated between blue and red spotted backgrounds, as well as lighter varients that included white spots as well. The Christmas Episode had an animated title card which was white with black spots.

* GrassIsGreener: In "Lucky To Be Alone", Lucky gets tired of living with 98 brothers and sisters and wants more personal space. Pongo and Perdita get the idea to send him to stay with his wealthy cousins, the Vandercreams, where he gets to stay in a massive mansion with a room all to himself, with a butler and all the luxeries he can imagine. While there are some things he likes and other things he doesn't, the thing he ended up missing the most was being able to spend time with his family.

* AbsenteeActor:
** In "Home is Where the Bark Is", Spot is out of commission, but she is shown for a split second at one point in the episode.
** Spot is absent in "You Slipped a Disk" and in "Cadpig Behind Bars".
** Lucky does not have any lines in "A Christmas Cruella".
** In episodes such as "Smoke Detectors", "Frisky Business" & "Cadet of The Month", Horace appears, but not Jasper.
** In "Horace and Jasper's Big Career Move", the main pups are absent for a majority of the episode. They do appear in the flashback sequences, but they also appear briefly at the very end, and Lucky has one little speaking part.

* AccidentalArt: The episode "The Artist Formerly Known As Spot" has Spot the chicken mistaken for an art genius by a friend of Cruella's, causing Cruella to kidnap Spot and force her to make paintings for an art show.

* SkunkStripe: The De Vil family's hair color.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The VHS cover of the ChristmasEpisode is a perfect example.

* ConvenienceStoreGiftShopping: done in the Christmas episode “A Christmas Cruella”. Cruella has a Christmas Carol Intervention and decides to get gifts for everyone. But, since nothing is open on Christmas except the ‘House Of [=DeVil=]’ (her fashion house), she gives everyone office supplies.

* HelpImStuck: Rolly gets stuck several times, but most of the time, he manages to get himself unstuck by himself. Only a few times did he require help, most notably in the episodes, “You Slipped a Disk”, “Southern Fried Cruella” and “Roll Out the Pork Barrel”.

* NamedAfterTheInjury: Tripod the Dalmatian puppy only has three legs.

** In the Episode “Film Fatale”, the Dalmatians learn from a newspaper that the Thunderbolt movie is playing at the Cruellaplex Theater; however, said theater does not allow animals in. Spot suggests simply checking to see if the film is also playing at an animal-friendly theater, but Lucky’s impulsiveness interrupts her before she gets a chance to check. After their misadventures in the Cruellaplex, they find the other Dalmatians watching the film at a drive-in theater, with Pongo showing them that the newspaper also said it was playing there.

* BeautyMark: One of Two-Tone's spots placed just beneath her right eye functions as one of these for her.

* CantGetAwayWithNuthin[=/=]DownerEnding:

* AesopAmnesia: For the YetAnotherChristmasCarol episode, we had a tour through her FreudianExcuse, and at the end she's being a genuinely nice person. It lasts until the beginning of the next episode because, well, she's the primary villain and StatusQuoIsGod.
