History WesternAnimation / RicochetRabbitAndDroopALongCoyote

!!Tropes:

* FullBodyDisguise / LatexPerfection: In "Two Too Many," the dwarf criminal Half-Pint Pinto disguises himself in a full Ricochet Rabbit suit and mask to frame the real Ricochet and give him a bad name. Though to give himself the ricochet power, Pinto installed coil springs on the bottom of the costume's feet, but no one else would seem to notice the visible springs.

* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Ricochet Rabbit wears a hat, shirt and gun holster.

* EpicFail: Most of Droop-a-Long's attempts to imitate Ricochet, or do anything in general, always resulted in this.

* NonGivingUpSchoolGuy: Ricochet Rabbit and his deputy once acted as truant officers to take Dastardly Dolton to school. (He's a suspected criminal as well but nothing has been proven). Once they caught him, the teacher read the records and found out they also hadn't finished school.

* EpicFail: Most of Droop-a-Long's attempts to imitate Ricochet's famous "ricochet into the sunset" always resulted in this. And that's not even getting into his shooting skills--his bullets would often turn out to be duds and when he picked them up, they exploded in his face.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The episode "El Loco, Loco, Loco, Loco Diablo" featured the titular mad horse that Ricochet and Droop-a-Long had to catch. And then, it turns out that the horse they caught was named El Loco, Loco, Loco, Loco, ''Loco'' Diablo. Cue MassOhCrap.

* BizarreAndImprobableBallistics: Again, Ricochet's bullets.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Ricochet started as an antagonist in a Touchè Turtle cartoon in 1962.

* WhiteBunny: Ricochet is one.

The cartoons chronicled the adventures of Ricochet, a sheriff in TheWildWest, and his deputy Droop-a-Long. While Ricochet could launch himself off random objects like a ping pong ball, Droop would always fail miserably trying to duplicate the feat. He often broke a window in the process. But in the end the team usually saved the day.

* WhiteRabbit: Ricochet is one.

* BadToTheLastDrop: A RunningGag with Deputy Droop-a-Long's coffee. In ''Atchinson, Topeka and Sam Jose'', he makes a batch that has to be ''hacked to pieces with a saw''. He later comments that he's "gotta stop using that hard water". In another episode, it's so thick, it has to be cut with scissors when it's poured. Then again, his coffee's hinted to not be so good anyway.
