Spliced: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

Once upon a time, there once lived a [[Mad Scientist]] who spent his weary days on a secluded island in the middle of the Pacific. To occupy his time, he creates biological abominations that stood against all notions of sanity and common sense. But sadly, it was only a matter of time until the judicial system caught whiff of the whole situation and arrested him for crimes against nature and "good taste". With their master forever gone from their lives, the mutants, with only limited knowledge of the outside world and their customs, are left to construct a civilization of their own. Of course, this leads to [[Hilarity Ensues|ensuing hilarity.]]

 

 

 

 

----

* [[Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal]]

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Mister Smarty Smarts and Octocat's relationship, which is thoroughly shown in the episodes "Octocataclysm", and "Of Masters and Minions".

* [[Big Ball of Violence]]

* [[Body Horror]]: Often, but having your spine sucked viciously from your body by a baby robot comes to mind as a particularly cringe-worthy one.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]:

** Peri in "Bowled Over": "But when I realized I was narrating, I knew it was time to take a break." He even tries to speak to Entrée in his [[Inner Monologue]] before correcting himself.

'''Entrée''': So what'cha do? Did you pull'em off? }}

* [[The Ditz|Ditz]]: Calcu-Pony. "Beige!"

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: In the episode "Pink", Peri wakes up one day and finds out that he has turned the color pink (instead of his usual orange), and Entrée does not want to be his friend anymore because of this. The metaphor is heightened by the fact that Entrée thinks that being around Peri will turn him pink, and indeed has a nightmare in which this happens.

** The episode "Juice" and "Mo' Mayo Mo' Problems".

* [[Efficient Displacement]]: Several times. How Joe found out who stole his pretzel-maker. [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] when the hole Entree cuts open with a laser sword is shaped just like himself.

* [[Evilly Affable]]: Apéritif, Entrée's [[Evil Twin|evil]] brother.

* [[Fur Is Clothing]]: In "Bowled Over", Peri pulls back his fur to reveal a tattoo.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Literally in the theme song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37MChWRo4kA listen at 0:09] (It was made in Canada after all).

** Also in the episode ''Two Arms Joe'' after Peri gives Two Legs Joe his arms for the day:

** In "Stupid Means Never Having To Say I'm Sorry", Peri, in a delusional state while being stranded on a marooned island, [[Companion Cube|befriends a tire]] who both do quite a questionable act on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DxQMCyZjNc 6:47]:

** There's also the title of the episode "Living Hellp" (Yes, it was spelt with two l's and everything)

* [[Gross-Out Show]]: It's not really as gross as you'd expect it to be, but there has been some instances where you get to see miles of snot, exposed brains, the sounds of stretched limbs slowly tearing apart, and the occasional inside-out bodies.

* [[Hair-Raising Hare]]: The Wunny Sharbit.

* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: Blargy Parble.

* [[Me's a Crowd]]: "Clones Don't Care 'Bout Nothin' Either".

* [[Network Red Headed Stepchild]]: On Qubo.

* [[Non Sequitur Thud]]: Entrée does it in "Amazon".

* [[Noodle Incident]]: In "No Play for Princess", Joe reminds Peri and Entrée about what happened the last time they played Bucket Stick Fruitball. We don't get the specifics, but it apparently involved a flight of planes crashing into a bridge, a car going off a ledge, a giant lizard, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|dancing.]]

* [[Not So Different]]: In the episode "Same Difference" Two Legs Joe and Mister Smarty Smarts develop a friendship over their mutual dislike of Peri and Entrée (though Mister Smarty Smarts downright despises them, while Joe just finds them annoying).

* [[Pinball Gag]]: The episodes "No Play for Princess" and "Same Difference".

* [[Planimal]]: The Swineapple. It's part pig, part pineapple.

* [[Relax-O-Vision]]: Used in the episode "Pork Chop", where Entree goes apeshit on everybody after obtaining Kung-Fu powers.

* [[Short Run in Peru]]: Premiered first in Latin America.

** Australia was the first English speaking country to air all known episodes.

*** Peri says the same line in "Bowled Over". Right after Entrée says "[[Star Wars|Do or do not.]]"

** In ''Nightmare on Condemned Street'', Mr. Smarty can be seen wearing a [[The Fabulous Baker Boys|Suzie Diamond]] style dress and slinking seductively towards Peri, Entree and Fuzzy in one of the dream visitations. The ensuing flee was quite understandable ( {{spoiler|Suzie Diamond is a porn star}}).

** The "Knowing is Growing" segments are rather like those "The More You Know" ones.

** ''The Count of Pinchy Crabbo'' is a whole plot reference to ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo]]''.

** The board game Clue appears in a whirrel's intestines as a clue to the Blargy Parble.

* [[Stock Footage]]: Used repeatedly, mostly in the form of black-and-white, public domain movie footage.

* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]]: In one episode, when Peri and Entree are about to fall, Peri reminds Entree he has chicken wings, but Entree objects because chickens live underwater. Then, at the end of the episode:

'''Mr. Smarty Smarts''': But don't chickens live underwater? }}
