Tiny Fuppets
Comedy writer Scott Gairdner's parody of Video Brinquedo's shameless ripoffs of Pixar and Dreamworks Animation movies. Tiny Fuppets is supposed to be a Captain Ersatz version of Muppet Babies. Characters include Kormit (Kermit), Ms. Woman (Miss Piggy), Gonzor (Gonzo), Tummi (Fozzie Bear), and Animanuel (Animal).
Tropes used in Tiny Fuppets include:
- And the Rest: Tummi and Animanuel. Tummi is left out of the website because it would cause the network to crash. Animanuel has to elbow his way into the opening credits.
- Blind Idiot Translation: Played for Laughs in both the "Portuguese" dialogue and the clumsy English subtitles.
- Brick Joke: "I escaped an owl today!"
- Butt Monkey: Tummi
- Captain Ersatz: Literally every single character, including the Smorths, Gumboing, food mascots like the D&Ds and Mr. Fresh Juice, and Astro Jr..
- The Chick: Ms. Woman
- Christmas Special: "A Very Fuppets Holiday Christmas". (Dedicated to the memory of Piano Dog).
- Enforced Plug: In "A Bad Cough". Fetch all four varieties of Sumol, the titan of the beverage kingdom! You won't remember where your frowns went!
- "I Want" Song: Parodied with Kormit's "If I was Big." He only wants to be big enough to achieve modest goals, such as scissor operation and to avoid being crushed by magazines closing on him. However, he realizes he'd lose some advantages of being small. He ultimately decides there would be numerous pros and cons either way. Nothing changes at the end of the episode.
- The Jimmy Hart Version: MIDI-like tunes similar to "Physical" and "The Glory of Love" play during the "Party Pals" episode.
- Limited Animation
- The Stinger: Most episodes.
- Stylistic Suck: Parodying the shoddy quality of Video Brinquedo's output.
- In particular, Juniors Minis
- Talking to Himself: It's obvious that one guy does all the voices.
- Totem Pole Trench: It takes Kormit and hundreds of other Fuppets to mimic an adult.
- The Voiceless: Tummi
