Line #26 PlayingWith/MooseAreIdiots


1	'''Basic Trope''': Moose are portrayed as unintelligent animals.
2	* '''Straight''': Marvin the Moose is notably dim-witted and airheaded, especially compared to other animals.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Marvin is the logical extreme of being TooDumbToLive.
5	** Any breed relating to moose is portrayed as ultimate dimwits.
6	* '''Downplayed''': Marvin is a CloudCuckoolander or simply a bit eccentric in some way, but calling him stupid would be a bit of an overstatement.
7	* '''Justified''': Marvin never paid attention in school nor had any {{street smart}}s in the first place.
8	* '''Inverted''':
9	** Marvin is an brainiac aside from other mooses with average intelligence.
10	** Moose are portrayed like their real-life counterparts with being moderately intelligent.
11	* '''Subverted''': Marvin was ObfuscatingStupidity the whole time for some devious plan of his.
12	* '''Double Subverted''': ...which shows that he's actually even more of a moron than he acts!
13	* '''Parodied''':
14	** Marvin [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle J. Moose]] is well-meaning and is paired with a fox named [[CunningLikeAFox Reynard the Fox]] who is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold blunt & abusive yet a loyal friend of his]], where these two are [[RudeHeroNiceSidekick essential heroes in their home]] in the wilderness who also have a [[OddFriendship strong friendship]] since Marvin is [[KindheartedSimpleton the more warm-hearted one]] between the two.
15	** Reynard the Fox is a [[GuileHero guileful]] and hyper-competent AntiHero where Marvin is a loyal and well-mannered IdiotHero.
16	* '''Zig-Zagged''': Marvin's intelligence varies depending on the writer.
17	* '''Averted''':
18	** There is nothing unique about the intelligence of any of the moose.
19	** Moose aren't in the work.
20	* '''Enforced''': "We need a species for our [[TooDumbToLive dumb]] [[PluckyComicRelief comic relief character]], what should they be?" "How about a moose? They're pretty funny-looking."
21	* '''Lampshaded''': "Gee, it's like the writers like portraying moose as stupid creatures just because cows used to portrayed as idiots as well."
22	* '''Invoked''': In a show where there were all of the cows that are portrayed as [[FunPersonified fun-loving]] [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} goofballs]], mooses were also portrayed as dullards while deers were perceived as nitwitted, imbecilic buffoons.
23	* '''Exploited''':
24	** [[MadScientist Professor Drachenstein]] tries {{taking over the world}}, and one of the most manipulative tactics he'd use to make people or even animals follow his orders is first getting both mooses and deers [[TookALevelInDumbass to reduce their intelligence]] for Drachenstein's advantages with brainwashing those around them.
25	** [[OnlySaneMan Marvin the Moose]], who is ''actually'' an [[BunnyEarsLawyer eccentric genius,]] sees how his brethren and moose residents are a [[PairTheDumbOnes not so bright pack]] who show how [[SuperGullible gullible]] they are after seeing how they followed whatever the manipulative wild rangers told them to do [[TheBlindLeadingTheBlind so blindly]] and Marvin eventually tries to tell them how unaware they were in a rather proactive way with convincing his people about educating themselves when he founded a history center about the wilderness to learn more about the rangers where no person was around when Marvin also used their [[TrademarkFavoriteFood obsessions with fruits]] as a reward for herding as a pack as a defensive force. In which was where [[TheChessmaster Marvin's]] success was also done to actually try getting back at the [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters wild rangers]] for finding more about their malicious behavior out of the wilderness.
26	* '''Defied''': Marvin informs himself, where he is so intelligent that he goes to college to get smarter.
27	* '''Discussed''': "That's weird that cartoon moose are always seen as [[TheDitz stupid.]]"
28	* '''Conversed''':
29	-->"Marvin the Moose being one of the many anthro moose characters that were portrayed as goofy idiots has had been a common trope after [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle a certain cartoon moose has enforced the trope]]. Just like how after Disney's WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} & other examples with cartoon mutts enforced [[DogsAreDumb their own trope with dumbness.]]"
30	* '''Implied''': Marvin is TheGhost, but is often described as a "dumb moose" by anyone.
31	* '''Played for Laughs''': Marvin J. Moose is portrayed as a comedic idiot.
32	* '''Played for Horror''': Marvin is TheBrute and will [[SuperPersistentPredator always chase his prey no matter what]]. His DumbMuscle tendencies have singlehandedly wiped out a village.
