History Webcomic / FauxPas

[[UnsoundEffect FOOOMM!!]]\\

* DescriptionCut: So, ''so'' many times. A character will frequently say something like, "I can't believe [x] would do something like that," and then we cut to [x] doing exactly that. Or, "I wonder what so-and-so is thinking."
-->'''Randy''': [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?582 Somehow I just can't imagine]] Cindy having to rehearse ''her'' lines, y'know?\\

'''Ricky:''' Plus, [[CaptainObvious there's the sign out front.]]

* WhosOnFirst: Hubert's new nickname, Hue, spawns a few confusing exchanges reminiscent of the famous bewildered Creator/AbbottAndCostello [[TropeNamer skit]] in [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?1690 this comic]].

'''Stu:''' [[LampshadeHanging When we get back, I'll teach you two "Who's on first."]]

%% * IntellectualAnimal: Primarily Cindy, Dusk, and the cats. The less feral Green Mountain Studio Animals cast think more like humans.

%% * KangarooCourt: Randy is afraid that the cats will subject Cindy to this.

%% * LiteralMetaphor: "A little birdie told me."

** When an unnamed bobcat happens upon Dusk and Fluffy, he comments on the rabbit's shampoo-infused scent [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?2238 here]] with a groaningly obvious play on words when he says, "Gee, your hare smells terrific!"

* WeirdnessCensor: Cocky is a bird who can speak ''conversational'' English and French, and it's been proven that he can translate what Randy is saying. And the humans let it pass without a whole lot of commenting!

* WhyWasteAWedding: [[spoiler: Penny and Jon]] appear headed this direction, after [[spoiler: Cindy and Randy]] decide to wait, since [[spoiler: foxes only mate in the winter.]] Myrtle needs ''someone'' to get married, after all her preparations.

%% * INeverSaidItWasPoison: Cindy didn't tell Randy what happened. [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?1260 But Myrtle just did!]]

* UncertifiedExpert: Played with [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?1745 here]] when Brisbane becomes ordained as a cardinal (complete with a [[NiceHat mitre]]) by a sketchy ministry. He even gets what appears to be a PhonyDegree that reads "Doctor Brisbane. Master of Divinity. Et Tu Latinus Plurum. First Angler Congregation Missouri Ministries of the Uniquely Divine Bass." Turns out it's another one of Myrtle's foul ups -- all the wallaby wanted was a St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap! Nonetheless, Brisbane presides over the dual wedding of Randy to Cindy and Jon to Penny.

** Ricky, a star-stuck raccoon mime who debuted in Week 54, often acts as if he were on stage -- much to his stepbrother's embarrassment and consternation. An example occurs [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?324 here]].

* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Myrtle supposedly has claimed to like knitting in the past. Seen [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?95 here]].

** When Randy is in the barn recovering from being doped up, and Cindy and Toast go out to try and find Stu, the cats see it as an opportunity to play with Randy, as such opportunities have been hard to come by now that Cindy's living in the barn. When next we see Randy [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?959 here]], he's inside a giant ball of string. We don't see how he got there.

* BigNo: It's Toast's turn to "play" with Randy, but he wouldn't dare do so with Cindy around. When he's told Cindy is heading to the woods, he gets excited because he's been waiting forever, but he lets out a big "NOOO!" when told that Randy's going with her.

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Trapper to Cindy. [[spoiler:Dusk tricked him into trying to impress Cindy by exploring the furthest mountain he could find. By the time he met her again she was already pregnant with Randy's kits.]]

* ChasteHero: Randy ''personifies'' this trope. He knows he's attracted to Cindy, and that the feeling's mutual, but is completely clueless in the ways of courtship -- he still believes babies come from storks as seen [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?424 here]]. [[spoiler: This changes: He now has kits.]]

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Of all the rabbits, Pippi is easily the cutest of the bunch. She's tiny, sweetly naive, and speaks in a childlike manner. She even manages to get under the cynical Dusk's defenses (calling her "Auntie Dusk" and hugging her), convincing her not to eat the prey animals at the farm.

* YouDoNOTWantToKnow: A variation of this quote is used by Dusk when a young rabbit asks her what she likes to eat.

* MeaningfulName: "Toast" was so called because his sister Marmalade was always on top of him when they were kittens. Later, when he unwillingly partners with Dusk, "I'm Toast" is quite appropriate for the situation he's landed in.

* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Myrtle claims to like knitting.

* UnusualEuphemism: When Randy takes Cindy to see his human owners so he can translate what they're saying, the humans start wondering out loud whether Randy and Cindy will mate and raise a family, which embarrasses Randy no end. He translates it for Cindy as "talking about the weather" -- which soon becomes code, among the guys, for sex.

** While Ricky's practicing his acting [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?1336 here]], he holds a head prop of Skeletor from ''Franchise/MastersOfThe Universe''. While paraphrasing a famous line from ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'', no less.

** While Ricky's practicing his acting, [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?1336 he holds a head prop of Skeletor from He-Man]].
** [[Series/DoctorWho The TARDIS]] is [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?1391 mentioned]].

** "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Zecora]]" is [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?2019 one of the false names Randy gives]] for [[spoiler:his newborn kits]].
** One story arc has Randy and Cindy's kits showing off what they've learned -- and [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp2.cgi?361 here]], it seems they now know the theme songs to ''Series/GilligansIsland'', ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'', and ''Series/Batman1966''.

** [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?81 Here]] and [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?1284 here]] by the cats, of all characters to ''Franchise/StarWars'', of all things.

** When an unnamed bobcat happens upon Dusk and Fluffy, he comments on the rabbit's shampoo-infused scent with a groaningly obvious play on words when he says, "Gee, your hare smells terrific!"

* IAmNotWeasel: Brisbane the wallaroo is often mistaken by strangers to the farm as being a giant rabbit. Examples are seen [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?1767 here]] and [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?2132 here]].

* CirclingBirdies: Referenced [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?2183 here]]. When Dusk tells the little bunnies she hit her head, they ask if they can see the "all the birdies."
