1	'''''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL88C277061FD8F0B5 Reverse Jurassic Park]]''''' (also known as ''Quaternary Park'') is a series of animated videos by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TKToons TKToons]] that spoofs the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' movies. In an AlternateHistory of the world where the Cenozoic occurred before the Mesozoic, sapient ''Velociraptor'' marvel at the remains of extinct species such as humans. One wealthy ''Velociraptor'' attempts to open a park where recreated Cenozoic animals are the main attractions. HilarityEnsues.

3	Aside from the spoofs of the movies themselves, several sequel and spin-off parody videos have also been released.
4
5	----
6	!!This work provides examples of:
7
8	* TenMinuteRetirement:
9	--> '''Mr. Robustus:''' I've decided that I'm going to retire!
10	--> '''Mr. Cabazai:''' You're not gonna retire!
11	--> '''Mr. Robustus:''' I'm not gonna retire.
12	* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Many of the ''Velociraptor'' wear hats and/or glasses.
13	* AffectionateParody
14	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Lime green and hot pink ''Velociraptor'' appear in several scenes.
15	* AmusementParkOfDoom: Subverted. This is what Mr. Robustus ''wanted'' out of Carboniferous Park in the threequel, but the ''Meganeura'' are no more dangerous than ordinary dragonflies, and the ''Daspletosaurus'' is completely tame (even allowing Mr. R's grandkids to ride on its back)
16	* AnachronismStew: Subverted. It is implied that ''Psittacosaurus'' coexists with ''Velociraptor'', however a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUCBJkCQnvI followup video]] was made to clarify that the ''Velociraptor'' were just mentioning animals from their more recent fossil record.
17	* AnimalTalk: Or Maniraptoriform Talk at least (which ''Dilophosaurus'' can also speak).
18	* AscendedExtra: Dr. Altus only showed up in one scene in the original, and only to sing a little song parodying WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime. He's present from the "threequel" onwards, showing himself to be calm and level-headed, and acting as the voice of reason alongside Mr. Cabazai.
19	* BatOutOfHell: "Reverse Jurassic World" mentions having bats in the park, but this trope is subverted because they are harmless.
20	* BearsAreBadNews: Grizzly bears take the role of ''Spinosaurus''.
21	* BigCreepyCrawlies:
22	** The ''Meganeura'', but (to Mr. Robustus's disappointment) they're still not large enough to pose any real danger and quickly become disoriented after being exposed to the lower oxygen levels outside of their enclosure.
23	** The ''Eurypterus'' fit this trope as well.
24	* BigNo: Mr. Robustus in the fivequel.
25	--> '''Mr. Robustus''': NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
26	* CaptainOblivious: Dr. Antirrhopus in the Scooby Doo parody.
27	-->Dr. Ostrommaysorum said "Jinkies."
28	-->Mr. Robustus said "Blinkies." [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments He must be having a stroke.]]
29	* CivilizedAnimal: All maniraptoriforms shown so far are sapient. As it turns out, so are ''Dilophosaurus''.
30	* CloudCuckoolander:
31	** Mr. Robustus. While John Hammond was just a sympathetic old man with sometimes questionable morals, his dromaeosaurid equivalent is positively loony.
32	** Dr. Milleni seems a bit nutty as of the ''Jurassic World'' parody as well (in fact Mr. Robustus by comparison was relatively level-headed in this video).
33	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Mr. Giganticus is assumed to have been killed by a spitting cobra, but shows up at the end alive and well.]]
34	* DumbDinos: Inverted - the dinosaurs are sapient while humans are stupid and mindlessly violent.
35	* {{Expy}}: Nearly everyone and everything that appears is an expy of a character or dinosaur from the original ''Jurassic Park'' films. Examples:
36	--> Dr. Mongoliensis: Alan Grant
37	--> Dr. Antirrhopus: Ellie Sattler
38	--> Dr. Ostrommaysorum: Ian Malcolm
39	--> Mr. Robustus: John Hammond
40	--> Mr. Cabazai: Robert Muldoon
41	--> Dr. Milleni: Henry Wu
42	--> Mr. Giganticus: Dennis Nedry
43	--> Mr. Albertensis: Donald Gennaro
44	--> African Elephant: Brachiosaurus
45	--> Giraffe: Parasaurolophus (presumably)
46	--> Rhinoceros: Triceratops
47	--> Human: [[RaptorAttack Velociraptor]]
48	--> Bengal Tiger: ''Tyrannosaurus rex''
49	--> Mozambique Spitting Cobra: Dilophosaurus
50	--> Zebra: Gallimimus
51	** And from the sequels:
52	--> Moose: Stegosaurus
53	--> Bighorn Sheep: Pachycephalosaurus
54	--> Grizzly Bear: Spinosaurus
55	--> Dr. Elizabethae: Sarah Harding
56	--> Mr. and Mrs. Marshalli: Paul and Amanda Kirby
57	--> Fruit Bats: Pterosaurs
58	--> Fin Whale: Mosasaurus
59	--> Indomitable Horrorshow / Indo Horror(i.e., [[spoiler: a Platypus]]): Indominus Rex / Indoraptor
60	--> Pangolin: Therizinosaurus
61	--> Lion: Giganotosaurus
62	* TheEndOrIsIt: At the end of movie one.
63	* FantasticNaturePreserve:
64	** For the raptors, at least, since they're in a universe where time's been turned upside down, and they've never seen these animals that we find so familiar. For us this would be a ''regular'' Nature Preserve.
65	** The "sixquel" gives us the reverse of the above: while Late Cretaceous Park would probably be a hit with us, it really wouldn't be too spectacular for ''Velociraptors.''
66	---> "It's just a zoo!"
67	* FantasticRacism: The ''Velociraptor''s (except, naturally, Mr. Robustus) find that keeping a ''Dilophosaurus'' in captivity is unethical because he is as smart as they are, yet they have no problems with keeping humans in pens.
68	* FeatheredFiend: The ''Velociraptor'' are quite terrified of the ''Gastornis'' and ''Kelenken'', even though the Cenozoic birds claim they just want to chat.
69	* FirstContact: Mr. Robustus accidentally establishes this, thus gaining the technology to build Quaternary Park
70	* FossilRevival: Averted; Mr. Robustus didn't revive the quaternary animals (and the rest of them) from DNA scraped from fossils. He received ''complete'' genomes from DNA collected by an advanced race of aliens who have been collecting DNA samples across the cosmos for millions of years.
71	* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
72	** A rotating fish with the word "Jesus" is seen in the background of two scenes.
73	** Near the end of the Franchise/ScoobyDoo parody, a ''Velociraptor'' materializes out of nowhere.
74	* FurryReminder: The ''Velociraptors'' constantly bob their heads like birds and blink with their nictitating membranes.
75	* HaveYouTriedRebooting:
76	-->'''Mr. Robustus:''' Oh well, this will be an easy fix. All I have to do is press the reset button!
77	-->'''Mr. Cabazai:''' Wait! What are you doing?!? Power goes out You do realize you just shut off the bloody juice to the human pen, right?
78	-->'''Mr. Robustus:''' Hmm... I did ''not'' know that.
79	* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Humans are depicted as mindless killing machines that shoot every living thing in their path with guns, which could also overlap with {{Humans Are Cthulhu}}, considering that firearms would appear quite bizarre and alien weapons to the Velociraptor protagonists, creatures that use only their teeth and claws to kill things.
80	* IAmNotWeasel: The ''Mauisaurus'' takes offense to the Harlem Shake parody for implying that it is a dinosaur.
81	* InAWorld:
82	** ...where the Cenozoic came ''before'' the Mesozoic...
83	** ...but the Paleozoic still came before both....
84	** ...but all the geological periods of the Mesozoic still occurred in the same order...
85	* InsaneTrollLogic:
86	--> [[spoiler:Mr. Giganticus:]] I dressed up as the Phreaky Phanto to keep people from finding out about the ghost. They affect property value you know...
87	* JurassicFarce: The series starts with a WholePlotReference to ''Film/JurassicPark'', and subsequent episodes are still largely inspired by the film franchise.
88	* LaserGuidedAmnesia:
89	-->Dr. Mongoliensis: How did you do this?
90	-->Mr. Robustus: I don't remember.
91	* LastNameBasis: Dr. Antirrhopus, Dr. Mongoliensis, Dr. Cabazai, Dr. Milleni, Mr. Robustus, etc.
92	* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: In the background of the ''Gastornis'' song, a plaque is seen explaining the "Jesus" fish, making both meaningful background events.
93	* MisplacedWildlife: A ''Struthiomimus'' is shown alongside ''Velociraptor''s and a ''Citipati'', and the threequel confirms he actually lives in Alberta. Justified as the maniraptoriforms are fully sapient and have been shown to possess means of long-distance transportation.
94	* OhCrap: Used verbatim by Mr. Robustus in the fivequel when he realizes that [[spoiler:the giant aquarium he is standing in front of just cracked]]
95	** An unnamed raptor shouts "Oh no, the ''Dimetrodon'' is loose, run for your lives!" in the bonus sequel, and makes a similar panicked announcement regarding ''Meganeura'' in the threequel.
96	* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Mr Robustus goes from sounding like Creator/DavidAttenborough in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAUoCKy0xy0&feature=share earlier episodes]] to sounding like some sort of crazy pirate in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3_FYH9steY&feature=plcp later ones]].
97	* PaperThinDisguise: In the Franchise/ScoobyDoo parody, was anyone honestly surprised to learn that [[spoiler:Mr. Giganticus]] is the Phreaky Phanto?
98	* PeopleZoo: Quaternary Park has humans. Mr. Robustus has also tried to keep ''Dilophosaurus'', ''Utahraptor'', ''Gastornis'', and ''Kelenken'' in his later efforts, even though all of them are sapient.
99	* PrehistoricMonster: Averted by pretty much everything in fact (with the exception of the humans but, you know, [[HumansAreBastards they're humans]]). Everything else is either dangerous but still behaving like a proper animal (the Quaternary fauna from the original, and several of the Paleozoic creatures), completely harmless and tame (the aforementioned ''Meganeura'' and ''Daspletosaurus''), or sentient (the Maniraptoriforms and ''Dilophosaurus'').
100	%%** Subverted by the ''Meganeura'' and ''Dilophosaurus''.
101	* RaptorAttack: Averted. A bit ironic considering the fact that it parodies the {{Trope Codifier}}.
102	* RunningGag: Dr. Mongoliensis doing his speech about how dangerous humans are.
103	--> "THE GUN!"
104	** Mr. Robustus can't seem to have a single park go the way he planned. This includes when he ''hopes'' for there to be collateral damage - the ''Meganeura'' aren't really a threat and the ''Daspletosaurus'' is completely tame.
105	* SapientSteed: Turns out the ''Mauisaurus'' is one, though it doesn't speak the same language as the maniraptoriforms.
106	* SayingTooMuch: Mr. Robustus cuts off Dr. Altus before he can say that a ''Daspletosaurus'' has been brought to Carboniferous Park... but takes a while to think of an adequate save.
107	* ShoutOut:
108	** Dr. Altus sings a parody of a VillainSong from one of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' sequels.
109	** Also, they allude to a [[http://www.switched.com/2009/09/27/researchers-remote-control-flying-beetles-with-electrodes/ experiment]] in controlling beetles with electrodes.
110	** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxoSUESDbv4 music video]] was made parodying "Music/GangnamStyle".
111	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45fX0VsLttc Another one]] parodies the Harlem Shake.
112	** There is a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ2YaKY4NG8 parody]] starring Mr. Robustus.
113	** One [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA8rcSQEQrE spin-off video]] parodies a song from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''.
114	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85jr2gmmf3U Yet another]] parodies WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo.
115	* ShownTheirWork: To the point where a paleontologist has noted that the ''Velociraptor'' in these videos are the most accurate animated renditions of that taxon up to that point. It wouldn't be until the premiers of ''WebAnimation/{{Dinosauria}}'' and ''Series/PrehistoricPlanet'', a full ''decade'' later, that feathered Dromaeosaurs of similar or better realism would appear in popular culture.
116	* SparedByTheAdaptation: All of the ''Velociraptor'' characters survive to the end of the first installment, even those based on characters who died in ''[[Film/JurassicPark1993 Jurassic Park]]'', though [[spoiler:Mr. Giganticus (an {{Expy}} of Nedry) gets a DisneyDeath]]. Notably, Mr. Albertensis (an {{Expy}} of Gennaro) [[DemotedToExtra gets left behind on the mainland]] and never even makes it to the island.
117	* SpringtimeForHitler: Mr. Robustus in the threequel.
118	* TakeThat:
119	** The humans are bald in reference to the featherless [[RaptorAttack ''Velociraptors'']] of ''Franchise/JurassicPark''.
120	** The inaccurate characteristics of ''Dilophosaurus'' in ''Jurassic Park'' do not amuse the real ''Dilophosaurus''.
121	** The less intelligent decisions made in the ''Jurassic Park'' films are heavily parodied and lampshaded, particularly in regards to the third movie.
122	---> Dr. Mongoliensis: "[[Film/JurassicParkIII Why didn't you tell us you were looking for your son]]?!? We would have helped you! [...] You come and you act like a couple of rich thrill-seekers and you think that ''that's'' going to win us over? ''Honestly,'' where are you coming from?"
123	** The [[MixAndMatchCritters hybrid nature]] of the ''Indominus Rex'' is parodied by having [[spoiler: a platypus]] be its {{Expy}} as the "indomitable horrorshow".
124	* TemptingFate: Mr. Robustus actually tries to ''invoke'' this in the threequel, but [[SpringtimeForHitler fails]].
125	* UnderestimatingBadassery: A young ''Velociraptor'' mistakenly believes that a human would only be as harmless as a ''Psittacosaurus''.
126	* UnusualEuphemism: "Son of a ''Baryonyx''".
127	* WraparoundBackground: In the ''Gastornis'' song.
128	* [[YouMeddlingKids You Meddling Feather Dusters]]
