History WesternAnimation / PickleAndPeanut

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In "Busted Arm", when Peanut's fake cast dissolves in the slide at the water park and the pieces clog the filtration system, he attempts to go down the slide a second time, but the built-up water sends him flying through the snack shack, the sign... and an acid pump. The result is that Peanut is [[WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody left a head in a wheelchair,]] [[BodyHorror with visible veins coming out of his neck]].

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: As a show that goes out of its way to break from the norm, it's only natural that a few episodes are even more out there than the show's usual ''modus operandi''.
** Both of the holiday specials feature short segments done in [[StylisticSuck highly simplistic CGI]], with both excluding dialogue entirely in favor of visual gags.
** Two episodes in the second season are [[invoked]]{{Defictionalization}}s of 90's Adventure Bear's eponymous show. Like 90's himself, both are half-parody/half-homages to the adventure cartoons in WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon (particularly ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' and ''WesternAnimation/ChipAndDaleRescueRangers'').
** The GrandFinale, "Clip Show", is a spoof of charity telethons and clip shows, while itself ''also'' being a clip show (that sees the [[AnimatedActors characters as fictional actors]] that also happen to be best friends named Pickle and Peanut).

* VomitIndiscretionShot: When Lazer gets carsick after Peanut and Pickle drive him home.
* WidgetSeries: '''VERY!''' This show revels in its weirdness and is completely unapologetic about it.

* TakeThat: When 90's Adventure Bear goes on a rampage, he protests that his series ran for 9 seasons but [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes never got a DVD release]], a jab at the attitude American networks and distributors have adopted toward their older shows in recent years, Creator/{{Disney}} [[BitingTheHandHumor in particular]].

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In "Busted Arm", when Peanut's fake cast dissolves in the slide at the water park and the pieces clog the filtration system, he attempts to go down the slide a second time, but the built-up water sends him flying through the snack shack, the sign... and an acid pump. The result is that Peanut is [[BodyHorror left a head in a wheelchair, with visible veins coming out of his neck]].

* IAteWhat: The ending of "Cookie Racket" reveals that Pickle's grandmother's jar of "love" was actually her ashes, with a tooth buried in them.

* AffectionateParody: The ShowWithinAShow "90's Adventure Bear" is, as its name implies, a parody of FunnyAnimal shows that were popular in the 90's, namely ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' and ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' (the show also takes inspiration from ''WesternAnimation/{{Birdman}}''). Many of the hallmarks are there, too; the opening intro, the vibrant logo, the FiveManBand, the lead character having a CatchPhrase, and the BigBad thinking up outlandish schemes every episode.

* BeeAfraid:
** In "Bee Colony", Pickle entrusts Peanut with his bee colony for the weekend.
** In "The Drone", Wayne attacks Pickle and Peanut with bees and mind-controlled [[KillerRabbit rabbits]].
** In "Preschool Reunion", the flashback of Pickle, Peanut, and friends in preschool has them getting attacked by bees on the rundown playground.

''Pickle and Peanut'' is a cartoon by Noah Z. Jones (''WesternAnimation/FishHooks'') and Joel Trussell airing on Creator/DisneyXD.

** Two episodes in the second season are {{Defictionalization}}s of 90's Adventure Bear's eponymous show. Like 90's himself, both are half-parody/half-homages to the adventure cartoons in WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon (particularly ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' and ''WesternAnimation/ChipAndDaleRescueRangers'').

-->'''Pickle''': [[TitleDrop Pickle and Peanut]]...next episode is better...

** In "Tae Kwon Bro" when Peanut is hesitant to take orders from a martial arts expert:
--->'''Pickle''': You just have an authority problem.\\
'''Peanut''': ''YOU'RE'' AN AUTHORITY PROBLEM!
** In "Bike Jumper" when a bad attempt at a stunt causes Peanut to smash headfirst into the ground, his ghost leaves his body as Pickle tries to stop him for ascending:
--->'''Bike Jumper''': Pickle, it's too late!\\
'''Pickle''': ''You're'' too late, man!

* PlayfulHacker / TheCracker: The boys adopt Anonymous-esque identities somewhere between the two in the Matrix spoof “Fast Food Pirates,” though their actual “hacking” mostly consists of throwing laptops into buildings while they stage [[JustLikeRobinHood a “steal from the rich” plot]] to give away recalled fast food toys to the kids of East Reno.
* RealityEnsues:
** In "Scalped", when Pickle, Peanut and Ragga are being pursued by security at a concert they snuck into, Peanut tries to create a diversion by calling for a mosh pit, but it fails when he finds no one's interested and a guy he pushed was with his infant child.
** After Pickle and Peanut are initially happy becoming werewolves, the novelty wears off the next day.

* GarrulousGrowth: In the episode called "Greg", Pickle gets a sentient pimple named Greg on his butt. Pickle and Peanut decide to give him to Lazer.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In "Busted Arm", when Peanut's fake cast dissolves in the slide at the water park and the pieces clog the filtration system, he attempts to go down the slide a second time, but the built-up water sends him flying through the snack shack, the sign... and an acid pump. The result is that Peanut is [[{{Squick}} left a head in a wheelchair, with visible veins coming out of his neck]].
* LostFoodGrievance: In "Yellow Snow" Champion Horse cries over having dropped his sandwich on the floor of his tank.
* MadeOfExplodium: In "Yellow Snow" the neighborhood is covered in snow mixed with sulfuric acid from a manure factory, making it highly explosive.

-->'''Pickle''': You just have an authority problem.\\

-->'''Bike Jumper''': Pickle, it's too late!\\

* NoYou: In "Tae Kwon Bro" when Peanut is hesitant to take orders from a martial arts expert:

* StylisticSuck: From its theme song down to its animation style, the show has a very rough, low budget feel. WordOfGod insists that this was intentional.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: As a show that goes out of its way to break from the norm, it’s only natural that a few episodes are even more out there than the show’s usual ‘’modus operandi’’.

** Two episodes in the second season are {{Defictionalization}}s of 90’s Adventure Bear’s eponymous show. Like 90’s himself, both are half-parody/half-homages to the adventure cartoons in TheDisneyAfternoon (particularly WesternAnimation/TaleSpin and WesternAnimation/ChipAndDaleRescueRangers).

* {{Retraux}}: The [[BlandNameProduct Spoonicorn]] commercial in "Greg" is intentionally done 80's-90's style.

** The announcer saying something that promptly echoes.

* MediumBlending: Uses it much more extensively then ''Fish Hooks'' with cut-out and live-action jumping in when least expected. Oddly enough it's a reversal of ''Fish Hooks'' where the main characters were drawn normally while everything else was in a photographic style. Here the main characters are animated and photographic while everything else around them is drawn normally.

The show ended it's [[https://mobile.twitter.com/joeltrussell/status/954432417523122176 second and final season]] on January 20,2018 .
