History Film / MeetTheFeebles

* MessyPig: Cedric. He's a ViolentGlaswegian drug-trafficking punk warthog, so any business you have with him is bound to be messy.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Robert.

* LoveAtFirstSight:

* {{Paparazzi}}: The reporter fly that is constantly harrassing Harry because of his disease.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Subverted to hell and back. Aside from Robert, Lucille, and -- arguably -- Seymour, nearly all the animals in this movie are or eventually become ugly, disease ridden, rotten or just generally unpleasant.

* MessyPig: Cedric. He's a ViolentGlaswegian drug-trafficking punk boar, so any business you have with him is bound to be messy.

* KarmaHoudini: Sebastian, arguably (especially since [[spoiler:a lot of much less {{Jerkass}}y characters get slaughtered in the finale]]). However Sebastian is seen in a eyepatch which implies he lost a eye while trying to escape the rampage.

* PatchworkKids: Sidney and Sandy's baby, Seymour, has an elephant's head and a chicken's body. When Arthur sees Seymour for the first time, he comments to Sidney that "[[FamilyEyeResemblance he's got [Sidney's] eyes]]".

* YouJustRuinedTheShot: At one point Robert interrupts a BDSM porn shoot.

* NationalStereotypes: The only German in the movie sells cakes and pastries, and Abi, an Indian, is into mysticism and contortion. Let's not get into the Vietnamese ... '''[[MixandMatchCritters things]]''' in Wynard's flashback.

* PatchworkKids: Sidney and Sandy's baby, Seymour, has an elephant's head and a chicken's body. When Arthur sees Seymour for the first time, he comments to Sidney that "[[FamilyEyeResemblance he's got [his] eyes]]".

* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Initially, Trevor is seen shooting a BDSM porn flick starring two actors known as the Masked Masochist and Madam Bovine. After [[YouJustRuinedTheShot Robert walks in and ruins the shot]], Madam Bovine sits on the Masked Masochist, killing him. The Masked Masochist was a cockroach.

* NaiveNewcomer: Robert the Hedgehog.
* NationalStereotypes: The only German in the movie sells cakes and pastries, and Abi, an Indian, is into mysticism and contortion. Let's not get into the Vietnamese ... '''[[MixandMatchCritters things]]''' in Wynyard's flashback.

* PatchworkKids: Sidney and Sandy's baby, Seymour, has an elephant's head and a chicken's body. When Arthur sees Seymour for the first time, he comments to Sidney that he "has [your] eyes".

* DirtyCoward: Sebastian. [[spoiler: The only non-nice guy to survive, only does so because he ducks into a giant carrot during Heidi's rampage]].

* EarnYourHappyEnding:For the very few characters that survive.

* FanDisservice: The sex scenes would be thrashy and unappealing even if not shot with puppets.

* TokenHuman: Abi, the only human character in a cast of animals.

* YouJustRuinedTheShot: At one point Robert interrupts a porn shoot.

* FanDisservice: The sex scenes would be thrashy and unappealing if shot with real actors. They're shot with '''''PUPPETS.'''''

* TheDiseaseThatShallNotBeNamed: Both the disease Harry thinks he has (AIDS) and what he actually has ([[spoiler:myxomatosis]]). They're referred to as "The Big One" ([[NamesTheSame not to be confused with]] [[JAKQDengekitai the Sentai hero]]) and "Bunny Pox", respectively.

WARNING: Once you have met the Feebles, you will ''never'' be able to watch ''The Muppet Show'' again.

-->--'''Bletch'''

* TheCameo: If you look closely, you'll notice a few aliens from ''BadTaste'' in the audience.

** Wynyard's Vietnam flashback has a scene where they are forced to do Russian Roulette, as a reference for ''TheDeerHunter''.

''Meet the Feebles'', a 1989 movie directed by PeterJackson, is basically The Muppets [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on crack and lots of hard liquor]]. It's a movie set in a world where everyone (with one exception, the contortionist Abi) is some sort of animal, anthropomorphized to varying degrees, and of different sizes, from the size of a small fish to a giant sea creature. The smaller characters are portrayed by puppets, but the larger characters are portrayed by people in costumes.

* ShoutOut:

* KarmaHoudini: Sebastian, arguably (especially since [[spoiler:a lot of much less {{Jerkass}}y characters get slaughtered in the finale]]).

* CrapSaccharineWorld: As Robert, the newcomer, soon discovers.

* HopeSpot: Twice. Once, when Harry learns the doctor made a mistake, he is happy to be alive, [[spoiler:only to get gunned down by Heidi moments later]]. Second, [[spoiler:it looks like Heidi might stop massacring people when she sees Seymour being dragged away by Sandy, only to shoot Sandy.]]

* HopeSpot: Twice. Once, when Harry learns the doctor made a mistake, he is happy to be alive, [[spoiler:only to get gunned down by Heidi moments later]]. Second, [[spoiler:it looks like Heidi might stop massacring people when she sees a baby, only to shoot the baby's mother.]]

* ParallelPornTitles: Trevor's original idea for the porn film's title is ''Dennis Does Daisy'', before settling on ''Anal Antics'' (Dennis is an anteater). Other films he's shot are ''They Bone People'', ''Came A Hot Fresian'', and what appears to say ''Udder Havies''. Bletch hopes to win the "Hooker Prize", a takeoff on the Booker Prize.

* YouJustRuinedTheShot: Robert interrupts a porn shoot.

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Heidi temporarily turns into a killing monster after suffering a HeroicBSOD. She attempts to kill everybody in the movie, whether they deserved to die or not. While she kills several cast members who arguably did deserve death, she also murders several characters who are as far as we know, innocent. She eventually comes to her senses during the end of her killing spree.]]

* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: [[spoiler: Heidi.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Heidi, toward the final act.]]

* AssShove: Abi the indian contortionist accidentally gets his own head shoved up his rectum during rehearsal.

* BrokenBird: Heidi, well more like a [[IAmBigBoned Broken Hippo]] and it's thanks to Bletch's mistreatment of her.

* CampGay: Sebastian, and the doctor's voice and mannerisms suggest he is as well.

* CrapSaccharineWorld: As Robert, the newcomer soon discovers.

* DepravedKidsShowHost: nearly the entire cast.

* EverybodyOwnsAFord: Non-ProductPlacement example- Everybody Owns A Morris Minor (which had been out of production for almost 20 years when the film was made).

* EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler: Bletch's goons versus Cedric's gang]]

* KnifeNut: Wynyard has a knife-throwing act, but has a terrible case of the shakes.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Subverted completely. Nearly all the animals in this movie are or eventually become ugly, disease ridden, rotten or just generally unpleasant. The only two exceptions would be Robert, sorry, "Wobert" and his squeeze Lucille, both of whom are genuinely nice and very cute to boot. Sid's love child is pretty cute too, despite being [[MixAndMatchCritters a cross between a chicken and an elephant]].
* SerenadeYourLover: One of the sweeter moments in the film (not that there are many of those).

** The Jesus on a crucifix in this movie looks like Kermit the frog.

* TheDiseaseThatShallNotBeNamed: Harry's [[spoiler: myxomatosis]].
* TheVietnamWar: Waynard has a flashback.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Harry puking over the stage when he tries to perform anyway.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler: Heidi]]

* FridgeHorror: That guppy that Bletch ate and then vomited up on the golf course? IT WAS ALIVE IN HIM THE ENTIRE TIME.

* ParallelPornTitles: Trevor's original idea for the porn film's title is ''Dennis Does Daisy'', before settling on ''Anal Antics'' (Dennis is an anteater). Other films he's shot are ''They Bone People'', ''Came A Hot Fresian'', and what appears to say ''Udder Havies".
** Bletch also hopes to win the "Hooker Prize," a takeoff on the Booker Prize.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Subverted completely. Nearly all the animals in this movie are ugly, disease ridden, rotten or just generally unpleasant. The only two exceptions would be Robert, sorry, "Wobert" and his squeeze Lucille, both of whom are genuinely nice and very cute to boot. ({{YMMV}} but Sebastian isn't particularly hideous either, at least until his disturbing dance routine.)
** Well, Sid's love child is pretty cute too, despite being [[MixAndMatchCritters a cross between a chicken and an elephant]].

* ShoutOut: The Jesus on a crucifix in this movie looks like Kermit the frog.
