* FurryDenial: Frequently. Usually calling something \\\"humanly possible\\\", but at one point, someone said PJ \\\"can\\\'t be human\\\". In a variation, one time Max said, \\\"I hate dogs\\\". A strange {{Inversion}} occurs in \\\"Shake, Rattle, and Goof\\\" where PJ manages to make a [[LiteralMetaphor Literal Simile]] without trying to in-universe: \\\"I feel like a cat in a dog pound.\\\"
This one may need to be rewritten to remove the variation lines, but \\\"humanly possible\\\" does fit, as does a (hyperbolic) use of \\\"he can’t be human\\\" and (from an episode I saw later) \\\"the human body\\\" is mostly water, especially considering that none of the characters ever even consider being their \\\"actual\\\" species.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Many times.
** In \\\"Take Me Out Of The Ball Game\\\", PJ and Max try to hide the fact that they did not make the baseball team by stopping their fathers from seeing any of the games. One thing they do is fill their dads\\\' cars\\\' exhaust pipes with cement. Pete makes note of this:
-->\\\'\\\'\\\'Pete:\\\'\\\'\\\' Somebody put \\\'\\\'\\\'ce-ment\\\'\\\'\\\' in our \\\'\\\'\\\'tailpipes\\\'\\\'\\\'!
** There\\\'s an episode titled \\\"[[IncrediblyLamePun Wrecks, Lies, and Videotape]]\\\".
** In the episode \\\"Puppy Love\\\", Pete says \\\'sexy\\\'.
** Not to mention all of the {{Gainaxing}} with Peg\\\'s breasts, especially when she wore a skimpy outfit.
** There was a joke relating to a product called a \\\"master-baiter\\\". Surprising how much slid through the radar, \\\'\\\'ESPECIALLY\\\'\\\' considering it\\\'s a Disney cartoon. What episode was that exactly?
** In \\\"Tub Be Or Not Tub Be\\\" we see that PJ, an 11-year old boy, owns a \\\'\\\'switchblade\\\'\\\'. Audio gags which kids might not even get are one thing, but Max actually picks it up and says, \\\"This is PJ\\\'s knife.\\\" He knows it\\\'s PJ\\\'s knife, which means he\\\'s seen it before. How the hell did they get that in?
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZaZIvIHOvY The scene]] where Peg kisses Goofy and then pulls him offscreen eagerly from \\\"Goofin\\\' Up the Social Ladder\\\", while he says \\\"Passionate, isn\\\'t she?\\\" ItMakesSenseInContext, but... holy crap!
This one is a little bit trickier since GettingCrapPastTheRadar is often overused and shoehorned, so I’m not sure whether it should be added back or not.
* GilliganCut: In \\\"Slightly Dinghy\\\", PJ does not want to go along with Max\\\'s plan to have him ask Pete to take them fishing. Combined with a LampshadeHanging of his role as TheDragAlong.
--> \\\'\\\'\\\'PJ\\\'\\\'\\\': No, forget it, Max. \\\'\\\'No way.\\\'\\\' You cannot talk me into this one. (scene cuts) \\\'\\\'Every\\\'\\\' time. How does he do it? [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every. Single. Time.]]
I’m \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' not sure what got this deleted because it’s a pretty straightforward mostly judgment-free trope: character refuses to do something, scene cuts to him doing it anyway. I’m guessing it was because it was right next to GettingCrapPastTheRadar and was not meant to be deleted in the first place.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Max and PJ. They do pretty much everything they can together, in both the show and [[AGoofyMovie the movies]]. The only times their friendship was in danger were when some third party interfered (usually Pete but at one point a (literally) magic hat with an agenda). They even went to college and roomed together, maintaining their friendship for at least seven or eight years.
From the page: Two extremely close friends or partners, of the same gender, who are as close or closer than a romantic couple. They aren\\\'t romantically linked, but they might suffer withdrawals from not being around each other. There might even be a \\\"break-up\\\" episode.
How is this inaccurate? The page also says, by the way:
Works often lampshade, mock or play with the relationship by throwing in some HomoeroticSubtext, \\\'\\\'\\\'but that\\\'s by no means necessary.\\\'\\\'\\\'
So if it was deleted for lacking that, it shouldn’t have been. It also shouldn\\\'t have been deleted for the characters\\\' ages because nowhere on the page does it say the characters have to be adults and many of the examples listed are as young or younger than Max and PJ. It’s possible this description needs to be rewritten to make its use clearer, but I think the trope still applies.
If you have an issue with me reposting any of these, please say so on the discussion page. If I don’t get a response within 3 days I will:
# Rewrite and re-add FurryDenial
# Rewrite and re-add HeterosexualLifePartners
# Re-add GilliganCut as-is
# Leave GettingCrapPastTheRadar on the discussion until at least one other troper confirms it should be re-added
And if you remove them again after they’re reposted, please, PLEASE, leave a reason.
