* FanficFuel: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck never make an appearance in ''Goof Troop'' or its two movies, ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'', outside of one cameo in person, and it's entirely possible that Goofy doesn’t know them in this show's universe. So it's anyone's guess what their relationship with Max would have been like as two friends of his father [[note]]Max does co-exist with the rest of Goofy's friend group in stories set in alternate continuities, like ''House Of Mouse'' (in which also had Roxanne showing up) and ''Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas'', where some interactions happen.[[/note]], or how they would have felt about Goofy's relationship with Pete, or what they would say about Pete's relationship with his own family.

* FanPreferredCouple: There is a lot of FanArt around the internet shipping Goofy with Peg - the wife of his neighbor and friend. Some people feel like Goofy and Peg have a great chemistry that sometimes is seen as flirty on Peg's side. They also point out how poorly Pete treats Peg, making the NiceGuy Goofy a better fit for her. There is a popular fan theory of Goofy and Pete having an affair - which of course doesn't fit into a kid-friendly produced by Disney.

Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


** PJ takes both the "dork" part and the "adorable" part pretty far, being a baby-faced fat kid with an extremely socially awkward personality that makes [[CoolLoser Max]] look like a smooth operator and a voice that ''never changed''.

Stock Parody Jokes is a disambig


* StockParodyJokes: Joke predictions as to how Goofy wound up a single father with a son are popular among fans, usually taking the form of wondering how someone like Goofy would find a woman who'd be willing to bear his child or, for those a little more imaginative, claiming that he either [[MisterSeahorse gave birth to Max himself]] or somehow reproduced asexually.

* UnintentionalUncannyValley: In the series, whenever Goofy and Pete are shown shirtless their chests are skin-coloured rather than with black fur as in any other production. This makes them look uncannily like regular humans who happen to have the heads of cartoon animals. The movies do give them their fur back, however.

** In "Max-Imum Insecurity", Pete briefly mistakes PJ for Peg and grumbles about how his voice should hurry up and change already. While this is funny without hindsight since PJ isn't even a teenager yet, it's even funnier after the release of ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'', where he is an adult and his voice ''still'' hasn't changed.

** Despite all the mean things Pete does to him, Goofy still considers Pete to be a close friend. In WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse, this becomes a reality between the two, in which Pete was portrayed as a lovable trickster, rather than an abusive jerk.

* PresumedFlop: Often seen as the beginning of the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon'', with its competition with ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' typically seen as a CurbStompBattle that the Dark Knight won with ease. However, ratings data showed that ''Goof Troop'' easily held its own, and occasionally even beat ''Batman'' from time to time. Its cancellation wasn't because of any ratings issues, but rather due to a combination of its high production costs, the brief dissolution of Disney's partnership with Creator/{{ABC}} (which aired the show on its Saturday morning lineup), and an overall drop in ratings among kids' demographics that year.

* JerkassWoobie: Pete sometimes fits this trope depending on the writer. Sometimes his karmic punishment can tread into DisproportionateRetribution, and occasionally he won't have done anything wrong in the episode itself, which can make him appear to be a DesignatedMonkey depending on what parts of the show you've seen. But most fans will agree that he deserves at least ''some'' of his punishment because he's, well, a {{Jerkass}}.

* HarsherInHindsight: It's depressing to see Goofy and/or Pete enjoying their time with their respective families when you realize that each CanonForeigner character from the series got PutOnABus in the years following and have been completely absent from any new Disney media since 2004's ''Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas''. Even though it's obviously because Disney was simply retiring the characters due to their waining popularity at the time, the fact that Max and PJ technically grew up in real time over the course of all of the spin-off material can read as a depressingly realistic depiction of a family slowly growing apart as the children outgrow their parents.
