1Comedy writer [[WebVideo/FunnyOrDie Scott Gairdner's]] parody of Creator/VideoBrinquedo's shameless ripoffs of Creator/{{Pixar}} and Creator/DreamWorksAnimation movies. ''Tiny Fuppets'' is supposed to be a CaptainErsatz version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Muppet Babies|1984}}''. Characters include Kormit (Kermit, Ms. Woman (Miss Piggy), Gonzor (Gonzo), Tummi (Fozzie Bear), and Animanuel (Animal).

3----
4!!''Tiny Fuppets'' provides examples of:
5
6* AndTheRest: Tummi and Animanuel. Tummi is left out of the website [[ItMakesSenseInContext because it would cause the network to crash.]] Animanuel has to elbow his way into the opening credits.
7* BlindIdiotTranslation: PlayedForLaughs in both the "Portuguese" dialogue and the clumsy English subtitles.
8* ButtMonkey: Tummi.
9* CaptainErsatz: Literally every single character, including [[Franchise/TheSmurfs the Smorths]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}} Gumboing]], [[{{Mascot}} food mascots like the D&Ds and Mr. Fresh Juice]], and [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial Astro Jr.]].
10* FlatJoy: "Yay." The only exception is in the Christmas special.
11* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Rather than being broken-up pidgin, the dialog is needlessly flowery or stilted from one line to the next, or both at the same time.
12* LargeHam: Kormit, as much as the limited animation and voice acting can allow.
13** The Giant Who Is Only Legs too.
14* LimitedAnimation
15* {{Mentor}}: Senor Suco Fresco. "What a wise cup."
16* NeutralFemale: Ms. Woman.
17* {{Mockbuster}}:
18* ShownTheirWork: Impressively so--right down to there being ''two'' derivatives of Muppet Babies, a la ''WesternAnimation/TitanicTheLegendGoesOn'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTheTitanic''. As with actual mockbusters of late, one is lower-quality yet oddly more watchable (Tiny Fuppets) and one has technically higher quality while being much more difficult to get through (Juniors Minis).
19* SurrealHumor: Intensely so.
20* StylisticSuck: Parodying the shoddy quality of Creator/VideoBrinquedo's output.
21** ''Juniors Minis'' even moreso.
22* TheVoiceless: Tummi, other than a few panicked whimpers in one episode.
23
24!! Episodes of ''Tiny Fuppets'' provide examples of:
25
26* AffectionateParody: Of the Muppet Babies, at least.
27* ArtShift: The 4DX special had the characters in [[ThreeDimensionalEpisode 3D in a white void.]]
28* BizarroUniverse: ''Juniors Minis.'' Kremmitt is rendered helpless by a spider on his head, Grumzle is aggressive but is likewise terrified of the spider, Senor Prima Ursa Gordo speaks and is highly regarded, and the unnamed Ms. Woman analogue... is still a NeutralFemale.
29* BlackComedy: The Fuppets celebrating their conquest of the disease in "A Bad Cough." While Tummi suffers untreated in the "tent" behind them.
30* BlatantLies: "Milan is beautiful. There are no beaches." Though, given the universe, Gumboing might not be lying.
31* BrickJoke: "I escaped an owl today!"
32* BuffySpeak: In "Summer Splash." "Fish. Spider fish. Fishbag. Don't know. Aah, scary!"
33* CarnivoreConfusion: In "Internet Follies," Kormit eats bacon for breakfast.
34* ChristmasSpecial: "A Very Fuppets Holiday Christmas". (Dedicated to the memory of [[CaptainErsatz Piano Dog]]).
35* {{Deconstruction}}: For about ten seconds in Meet The Fuppets: Kormit weeps at his father Papa Ra's grave, then tries to console himself by imagining being Sherlock Holmes. His conclusion: "My dreams exceed my real life!"
36* CreditsGag: the 4DX special has TWO lengthy lists of 3d animators.
37* EnforcedPlug: In "A Bad Cough". Fetch [[ProductPromotionParade all four varieties of Sumol,]] the titan of the beverage kingdom! You won't remember where your frowns went!
38* IWantSong: Parodied with Kormit's "If I was big." He only wants to be big enough to achieve modest goals, such as scissor operation and to avoid being crushed by magazines closing on him. However, he realizes he'd lose some advantages of being small. He ultimately decides there would be numerous pros and cons either way. [[StatusQuoisGod Nothing changes at the end of the episode]].
39* ShoutOut: To ''Film/{{The Room|2003}}''. "Everybody betray me, I'm fed up with this world!" For most viewers, this is the gag that tips the series' hand.
40* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: MIDI-like tunes similar to "Physical" and "The Glory of Love" play during the "Party Pals" episode.
41* TotemPoleTrench: It takes Kormit and hundreds of other Fuppets to mimic an adult.
42* TheStinger: Most episodes.
