History WesternAnimation / Patrol03

* MakeMeWannaShout: One of Molo's monsters is a babylike creature that emits loud noises when scared or angered, with enough force to bring down a building. Pamela finds this out the hard way when she ignores Molo's warnings and continues yelling at him.

''Patrol 03'' (''Patrouille 03'') is a French animated television series that aired in 1997 and was broadcast on Pop in the United Kingdom.

* ThreeAmigos: Shorty, Wilfred, and Carmen.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The show rarely pulls punches on Carmen and you can make entire drinking games about how often Pamela gets [[TheDoorSlamsYou smacked by opening doors]].

* FallenHero: Implied with Pamela Bondani. A BadBoss as she might be, it is obvious that the police force respects her, as well as the city's population, and despite her misdeeds and evil intentions, it is never stated she did not earn her job as police chief in the first place.

* ActionGirl: Carmen, mostly thanks to her gadget-filled wheelchair.

* DirtyHarriet: ICarmen once disguises herself as what is clearly meant to be a prostitute, as she wears makeup, goes to a male character in a truck parked in a bad neighborhood and entices him out with sexy talk.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Pamela and Molo. The two gangsters, Joe Bull and Willy Hyena, too.

* DirtyHarriet: In a spectacular example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, Carmen once disguises herself as what is clearly meant to be a prostitute, as she wears makeup, goes to a male character in a truck parked in a bad neighborhood and entices him out with sexy talk.

* DoorSlamsYou: Doors are being violently swung open quite often, and even more often characters find themselves on the wrong side when it happens. Especially Pamela.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The show rarely pulls punches on Carmen and you can make entire drinking games about how often Pamela gets [[DoorSlamsYou smacked by opening doors]].

** ThrowTheDogABone: That said, Carmen does sometimes thank Snap for what he does with pecks on the cheek (which, in true cartoon fashion, tend to floor him).

* MadScientist: Professor Molo.

* CardCarryingVillain: Averted with Pamela, who actually seems to believe she would be a better Major to Los Diablos than Alexander Walrus, but played straight with Molo, as he calls himself a villain without problem.

* CoolCar: Patrol 03's squad car, which was formerly TheAllegedCar, after Snap's modifications

* ExitPursuedByABear: Molo and Joe Bull's associates are chased off by the vehicle-possessing monster, after it undergoes a HeelFaceTurn. And two other episodes end with Molo being pursued by a royally PO'd Bondani, after his experiment of the episode left her disfigured and/or humiliated.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Molo, which makes sense for a mole like him.
* FallenHero: Pamela. A BadBoss as she might be, it is obvious that the police force respects her, as well as the city's population, and despite her misdeeds and evil intentions, it is never stated she did not get her job justly in the first place.
* FemmeFatale: Pamela is clearly meant to evoke the archetype, being worldly, amoral and manipulative, as well as having a very sexy character design, although she never goes beyond that, unlike Carmen.

* IncrediblyObviousBug: In the final episode, Pamela gives Mayor Walrus a bugged painting of ''an ear''. Walrus lampshades just how suspicious it is.
* InternalAffairs: The main trio, even if they are rookies at it.

* MakeMeWannaShout: One of Molo's monsters is a babylike creature that emits loud noises when scared or angered, with enough force to bring down a building. Pamela found this out the hard way, when she ignored Molo's warnings and continued yelling at him.

* OhCrap: Pamela exhibits amusing reactions to when she's in trouble, having a rather expressive face.

** Carmen also invokes this trope a couple of times, posing as a seductive lady and a talcum powder vendor. The former case was justified, due to wearing makeup and obscuring her wheelchair, and Molo sees through the latter case and makes off with the powder.
* PetTheDog: Pamela has a nephew (who is only seen in the final episode), and she seems to take good care of him. She also knows Molo is a brilliant scientist who works earnestly and has no problem to acknowledge it to him.

** Somewhat justified by the fact that their chief is villainous and makes sure they don't mess with her contacts. Although many of their scenes show them to be [[JerkAss Jerkasses]].

* VillainousFriendship: Between Pamela and Molo. He becomes pretty devoted to her despite having been originally blackmailed, not to mention all the chances he gets to revolt against her which he doesn't consider, and sometimes even addresses her with terms of endearment. Also, while she can occasionally mistreat him for his failures, she also openly considers him a genius, and most of the time treats him much better than any other character under her charge.

* ActionGirl: Carmen, see below.

* AndIMustScream: The fate of Diabolik, trapped in the conch shell that summons him and launched into space

* BadBoss: Pamela is fairly uncaring of her police force, and usually misleads and often victimizes them in the course of her schemes. In contrast, she usually treats Molo much better, even if it is only for how useful he is to her.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Molo starts the series being blackmailed by Pamela to serve her, but over the next episodes he becomes a much faithful partner, acting cheerful and even flirty towards her. Although this development is never explicitly referenced, it is easy to notice he warms up to her because she busted him out of prison and gave him a new chance to be a mad scientist.

* CunningLikeAFox: Carmen. Pamela is another example, even if she might be a cat.

* DirtyCop: Pamela Bondani
* DirtyHarriet: A ([[GettingCrapPastTheRadar barely]]) G-rated version involving Carmen.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Molo starts the series being blackmailed by Pamela to serve her, but over the next episodes he becomes a much faithful partner, acting cheerful and even flirty towards her. Although this development is never explicitly referenced, it is easy to notice.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: It's implied for Carmen, who mentions she used to be a dancer. It doesn't seem to affect her sunny disposition, though.

* FightingYourFriend: Happens on the occasions where one monster possessed Carmen's wheelchair, and another possessed Wilfred

* GeniusBruiser: Wilfred demonstrates shades of this, such as in the electric monster episode, where he immediately figured out that they needed to create a positively-charged monster to counter Molo's negatively charged one.
* GentleGiant: Wilfred, for the most part

* InterspeciesRomance: Snap tries to start one of these with Carmen, to no success.

* [[MustMakeHerLaugh Must Make Him Laugh]]: Shorty is really good at keeping his cool in humorous situations.
** This became a plot point in the episode featuring Diabolik, where he would possess people after making them laugh. Rather fittingly, this is turned on Pamela, who can't resist laughing at his antics, making her look like an utter fool and ruining her campaign against the mayor.

* PaperThinDisguise: Molo's disguises are often little more than trading his labcoat for another article of clothing.

* PetTheDog: Pamela has a nephew (who is only seen in the final episode), and she seems to take good care of him.
* PoliceAreUseless: Somewhat justified by the fact that their chief is villainous and makes sure they don't mess with her contacts. Although many of their scenes show them to be [[JerkAss Jerkasses]].

* PowerTrio: Patrol 03, as the title indicates

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The show rarely pulled punches on Carmen and you can make entire drinking games about how often Pamela gets [[DoorSlamsYou smacked by opening doors]].
* SlasherSmile: One of Pamela's ObviouslyEvil habits
* SlaveToPR: The reason the Mayor can't just fire Pamela despite her ObviouslyEvil ways, as he has no firm proof. Also, presumably why she believes she can get his job just by embarrassing him.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Pamela and Molo
** The two gangsters, Joe Bull and Willy Hyena, too.

** Pamela as well, since in the pilot she destroyed one of Molo's monsters with ''her bare hands''. However, her combat prowess varies from episode to episode.

* BadBoss: Pamela is fairly uncaring of her police force, and usually misleads and often victimizes them in the course of her schemes.

** TokenGoodTeammate: They're also this to the Los Diablos Police Department, given Bondani's BigBad status and her rather {{Jerkass}} police force.

* CatsAreMean: Pamela is a cat and the main villain.

* CunningLikeAFox: Carmen

* DarkAndTroubledPast / StandardCopBackstory: It's implied for Carmen, who mentions she used to be a dancer. [[AngstWhatAngst Doesn't seem to affect her sunny disposition.]]

* EnfanteTerrible: Subverted with Molo's baby monster, who is pretty docile when not riled up.

* EyesAlwaysShut: Molo, which makes sense for a mole like him

* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: Snap has one in the English dub.

* MsFanservice: Carmen exploited this on one ocassion, to get Molo away from his mobile lab. She's also this to Snap, in-verse.

* RodentsOfUnusualSize: Wilfred.
