History WesternAnimation / TheCaseOfTheStutteringPig

* DarkerAndEdgier: Of all Porky Pig's shorts at least. The atmosphere is more sinister and Lawyer Goodwill, despite not without his comedic moments, is quite an intimidating and creepy villain.

* BodyHorror: Tamer than any other examples, but during his transformation Goodwill shows sings of this: his nose becomes black and grows bigger, his ears become pointy, his torso becomes more bulky, his fingers become longer and sharp, his teeth like his nose grow bigger forming a SlasherSmile and we later see that his feet have three fingers.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: The greedy and sadistic Lawyer Goodwill who turns into a monstruos creature in order to kill innocent children in order to obtain their inheritance and he almost succeeded. The fact that the short itself has very little funny moments doesn't help.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The first clue that Goodwill might not be the "good friend" he claims to be is when he points out to the Pigs before (seemingly) leaving that if anything happens to them he will inherit the house. He however assures'em that nothing bad will happen to them...hopefully.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: The first clue that Goodwill might not be the "good friend" he claims to be is when he points out to the Pigs before (seemingly) leaving that if anything happens to them he will inherit the house.

* BodyHorror: Not so gruesome like any other examples, but during his transformation Goodwill shows sings of this: his nose becomes black and grows bigger, his ears become pointy, his torso becomes more bulky, his fingers become longer and sharp, his teeth like his nose grow bigger forming a SlasherSmile and we later see that his feet have three fingers.

* {{Gonk}}: Monster Goodwill looks more freaky and goblin-like than his true form.

* FatBastard: The evil Lawyer Goodwill is quite overweight. After drinking the potion he's more fit and muscular-looking.

* ShoutOut: The title references the Franchise/PerryMason book and movie ''The Case of the Stuttering Bishop''.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Twice: first Goodwill at some point arrive to threaten the guy in the third row with possible death if he tries to come up. [[spoiler: Then Goodwill is defeated when the guy in the third row throws a chair at him when he's about to kill the Pigs.]]

* DarkIsEvil: Goodwill when he prepares himself to kill the Pigs wears a black coat and after turning himself into a monster has dark grey skin (dark green in the colorized version).

* ManipulativeBastard: Lawyer Goodwill, thanks to his nice demeanor, is able to pass himself as a friendly and trusty figure to Porky and his brothers without them being suspicious not ever once of his true colors.

-> ''"You see ? If anything happens to you I will get all this property. However nothing will happen...I hope."''

* ActorAllusion: It's probably just a coincidence but it's not the first time that Billy Bletcher voices [[WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs a canine villain who targets pigs.]] He's even introduced by knocking on the door.
