History WesternAnimation / TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh

** In "The Wishing Bear," Pooh tries to make Piglet think his wish for a snowman has come true by covering himself with snow. But this backfires when Piglet gives the "snowman" a false mustache, which makes Pooh sneeze, literally blowing his cover.

** SuperheroStories: ("The Masked Offender").

* DemotedToExtra: Kanga and Roo made sporadic appearances throughout Season One and then disappeared altogether besides a couple episodes. Christopher Robin, despite being a semi-regular in Season One, also mostly vanished afterwards, though began reappearing with more frequency again in Season Four.

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Owl talks like this, and his cousin Dexter takes this UpToEleven.

'''Gopher:''' Might be painful... but it could hurt alot, too.

** In "Balloonatics," when Piglet and Tigger "break" the balloon (really they just let the air out of it), and he remembers that he borrowed it from Pooh who borrowed it from Christopher Robin, he goes cross-eyed and starts speaking in {{Spoonerism}}s and laughing wildly.

--> "Oh my! Oh my! The balloon! I borrowed it from Booh Pear... uh, Pooh Bear! Who borrowed it from Ristopher Crobin! Rostopher Cribon!"

** He dissolves into hysterics very quickly when he first starts taking care of Kessie, giggling and making faces like maniac and babbling about having carrots to take care of. He snaps out of it before long, though.

** Rabbit has a third one in "Fish Out of Water". After all the trouble of having Gopher as a house guest and trying to get his home back from the muttonhead trout, the thought of it happening ''again'' when the muttonhead trout swim back downstream was too much for poor Rabbit's mind to handle; he literally jumps in and starts swimming upstream with the muttonhead trout to get away from it all.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared this one to the original featurettes, and more to the later movies and shows such as ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' this show has surprisingly many dark, mature and scary moments, even if most of them have a distinct comical undertone. While it's all still thoroughly light hearted and cutesy, this is probably as Dark And Edgy as you'll ever see Winnie the Pooh, aside from ''Pooh's Grand Adventure'' and later ''Film/ChristopherRobin'', obviously.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first season featured several original songs, and also a penchant for ending the episode with Pooh reflecting on the story's events with Christopher Robin, ending with "silly old bear". The pilot episode also included such an ending, but with the camera panning out to replicate the final shot of the opening credits. Many Season One episodes were also far more surreal and experimental, utilizing one-shot antagonists and different backdrops such as fictional settings or Christopher Robin's suburban home, while the later episodes usually played closer to the laid back setup of the books and original film. Footage has been found of an original or demo version of the theme song, which was sung by Jim Cummings (the voice of Pooh) in his regular voice and in a more country style.

* SuperstitionEpisode: In "Luck Amok", Tigger breaks a mirror in Rabbit's home, and Rabbit tells him that means seven years bad luck. Tigger dismisses it, as it wasn't ''his'' mirror that broke, and he tries to help Rabbit avoid bad luck, which just results in Rabbit getting one misfortune after another. Eventually, it's revealed that the mirror belonged to Pooh, so Tigger tries to help him avoid bad luck, with the same results. Eventually, after everyone but Tigger suffers from bad luck, it become apparent that Tigger is the one who is unlucky, so he's cast out (or rather, he casts himself out, VERY dramatically. With packing ''RABBIT'S'' stuff as if it was his own). The others feel sorry for him and reverse the bad luck by "fixing" the mirror (taping a picture of Tigger so that he thinks it's his reflection).

** In "Paw and Order," Pooh's "Masked Bear" persona is a clear spoof of ''Franchise/TheLoneRanger'', right down to his catchphrase, "Hi-yo Eeyore!" Nasty Jack's voice is also an impression of ''Creator/JackNicholson''.

* ShownTheirWork: Though more directly based on [[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh the Disney featurettes]], occasional episodes make references to story material from the original A.A. Milne novels. In "The Big Switcheroo", for example, Tigger switches Piglet with Roo inside Kanga's pouch so Roo can avoid getting a bath (this story would again be adapted for part of ''Piglet's Big Movie''), while in "Eeyore's Tail Tale" Owl mistakes Eeyore's tail for a door bell (this story would again also be adapted for part of the 2011 Winnie The Pooh film).

** Then there's the other Western-themed episode, "The Good, the Bad, and the Tigger" – the title of course is a shout-out to ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', as are Tigger and Pooh's nicknames of "The Tigger with No Name" and "The Pooh with a Name," referencing Creator/ClintEastwood's "Man with No Name" character. They're also sometimes called [[ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid "The Hole-in-the-Head Gang."]]

* ShoutOut: In "Rabbit Takes a Holiday", the others manage to completely destroy Rabbit's home and garden while he's away, so they erect huge murals depicting them in pristine condition to try to fool him. [[Film/BlazingSaddles Sound familiar?]]

* SanitySlippage: Rabbit, very quickly, when he first starts taking care of Kessie, giggling and making faces like maniac and babbling about having carrots to take care of. He snaps out of it before long, though.

* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Christopher Robin's mother makes occasional appearances, but his father is never seen or mentioned. (Of course his real-life namesake did have [[Creator/AAMilne a father]], who [[WrittenForMyKids wrote the original ''Pooh'' books]].)
