[[caption-width-right:350:Now 100% more Manly!]]
A one-off BackdoorPilot launched in 1995 on ''WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther'', this 10-minute short was intended to launch a new SpinOff from the series, focusing on Manly Man (here, as a SatireParodyPastiche of superhero archetypes), although it was a OneEpisodeWonder due to internal politics at its creator Mirisch Geoffrey [=DePatie=]-Freleng (now part of Creator/{{Disney}}).
Focusing on Touty, the niece of the 7 Manly Men, when she gets a defective spinner from Bongo Cereals, the Manly Men go to deal with the situation, only to take on the CorruptCorporateExecutive.
!!Tropes present in 7 Manly Men and the Kid:
* AbsenteeActor: As was the tradition in 1995 during ''The Pink Panther'', the panther was entirely absent. [[JustifiedTrope Justified, as this was a]] SpinOff.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Uncle Pecks and Uncle Uranus ''look'' human, but Uncle Pecks' abilities suggest he's a Kryptonian (of sorts), and Uncle Uranus ''never'' takes off his helmet suggesting he may not be human.
* ArtisticLicenseLaw: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for laughs]]; in reality, no-one could enter a cereal factory ''that easily'' and it would be seen as harassment to confront the CEO in their office.
* CaptainErsatz: Uncle Pecks is very clearly Superman in behavior and looks, right down to the eye-beam ability; however, his civilian identity is never shown on-screen.
* ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs: In this case, with a FreePrizeAtTheBottom!
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The Bongo Cereal Founder plans to hypnotise kids through a golden spinner offered in Bongo Snacks.
* FreePrizeAtTheBottom: This, effectively, kickstarts the plot, as the prize is defective.
* HarmlessVillain: The Bongo Cereal Founder wanted to TakeOverTheWorld, but he's defeated pretty quickly and is a snivelling wreck.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Bongo Cereal Founder gets put into a box of cereal at the end of the episode, having tried to put the protagonists into a box of cereal.
* MinimalistCast: Only eight characters appear on screen, no extras.
* RatedMForManly: The 7 Manly Men were all pastiches or parodies of stock superhero or male professions, with the dial turned up to 100% overexaggerated, [[PlayedForLaughs all for comedy]].
* {{Ruritania}}: Although only a one-note reference, "Slyvonia" is a reference to Slovenia or Slovakia, and a joke is made about poor quality Eastern European build quality.
* SupermanSubstitute: Pecks is very definitely based on Superman, and he even has the eye-beam ability and the cape, although he's maroon rather than blue.
* SwissCheeseSecurity: The cereal factory clearly has no security guards, allowing the protagonists to enter at will.
