History WesternAnimation / TheRealGhostbusters

* OnOneCondition: "The Haunting of Heck House" had the Ghostbusters able to come into millions as long as they stay in the most haunted house on Earth for a night--''without their proton packs.'' [[spoiler: When the House shrinks in a last-ditch attempt to kill the Ghostbusters, they're forced to leave it or be crushed. Sadly, the lawyer sees this before time runs out, and is forced by the will to [[DownerEnding deny them the cash as there was no self-preservation escape clause]]; they HAD to stay in the house ''even if doing so killed them.'']]

* AnimationBump: The episodes that are done by TMSEntertainment, notably for Kazuhide Tomonaga's ''The Halloween Door''. The ''Slimer'' segments are also more fluidly animated than the rest of the show (Interesting fact: the director for those segments went on to do several segments of ''TinyToonAdventures'').

* {{Omniglot}}: In addition to having multiple doctorates, Egon is fluent in Sumerian, Russian, English, Japanese, and American Sign Language

* EveryManHasHisPrice: When a lawyer arrives at the firehouse for a proposition to "clean up" Heck House, Egon and Ray refuse. Before they can leave, the lawyer stops them in their tracks with just three words.
--->'''Egon:''' We've faced demons, monsters, Gozer, multi-dimensional invasions, but there is nothing you can say that will get me within a ''mile'' of Heck House.

'''Ray:''' He was a brilliant man.
'''Winston:''' Was? What's he do now?
'''Ray:''' Drool a lot...
'''Winston:''' Got it.

* ArtisticLicenseLinguistics: The [[AnthropomorphicPersonification ghost of Halloween]], Samhain, has his name pronounced "Sam-hain" rather than the proper Gaelic pronunciation "Sah-win". This would seem to be a surprising case of DidNotDoTheResearch, or perhaps even SadlyMythtaken (i.e. a pagan holiday being demonized for a Christian audience) except that the imagery (jack-o'-lantern head) and overall personality (DarkIsEvil) have more in common with the [[OlderThanTheyThink modern-day]] [[PopculturalOsmosis conception]] of Halloween as a dark, scary, sinister holiday ([[LighterAndSofter when it isn't all about parties and candy]]) than its pagan/Wiccan/Old World roots as either a holiday in honor of the dead and the ending of the year, or a celebration of Irish heritage. [[FridgeBrilliance So the mispronunciation may be intentional--because this is the ghost of what people have come to associate with Halloween, rather than its original meaning.]]

* DidNotDoTheResearch: In ''Stay Tooned'', one of the often-slammed post-ExecutiveMeddling episodes, the Ghostbusters confront an [[StylisticSuck annoying slapstick cartoon character]] named Sammy K. Ferret. The artist probably never saw an actual ferret in his life, because Sammy looks like a fox.

** The episode "Ghostbuster of the Year" (an episode long ''CitizenKane'' reference) seems to have been produced solely to showcase MauriceLaMarche's impersonation of Orson Welles.

* FanService: One episode ("The Devil In The Deep") took place on an exceptionally hot day, leading Janine to show up to work in a revealing bikini. [[AnimeAnatomy (No belly button, though.)]]
** [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbq4jo_janine-barefoot_shortfilms 0:56]] What lack of a belly button?

**** The changes were made in the series to capitalize on the popularity of the second movie. In turn, the second movie itself recognized that the Ghostbusters were a big hit with children, thanks in part to the cartoon. The adult humor was toned way down, while Slimer made a cameo at the firehouse.

-->'''Winston''': Murray, Ackroyd and Ramis? Isn't that a law firm?

* {{Animesque}}: Like many cartoons from TheEighties, it was produced in America but animated by Japanese studios. The design is reminiscent of ''MyNeighborTotoro'' or anything done by HayaoMiyazaki, and visual tropes such as {{face fault}}s, SphereOfDestruction and {{kaiju}}-style monsters often show up.

Briefly revived in 1997 as the SequelSeries ''ExtremeGhostbusters'', with a new team and Egon as TheObiWan.

** The tease even went on to ''ExtremeGhostbusters'' as Egon and Janine (as well as Slimer) are the only original members of the group remaining to help with the new blood.

In 1984, a BillMurray[=/=]Dan Aykroyd/Harold Ramis supernatural comedy called ''{{Ghostbusters}}'' was a pretty substantial hit with younger viewers. Within a few years, they decided it would be a good idea to create an AnimatedSeries about the further adventures of the four paranormal investigators.
