* WhatAnIdiot: It really makes you wonder why people depend on a dog that can't even tell that his partner did all the work. The amount of times he does things wrong is truly unbelievable, to the point of being absolutely unbearable.
** To an extent, some of the regular citizens don't even care that a villain is doing something or even care that Phooey did anything wrong around them.
** In one episode, a worker, who had just finished paving a road, had his work ruined by Hong Kong Phooey driving over it, responding with something along the lines of "What an honor, to have an entire day's work ruined by the great Hong Kong Phooey!"...non-sarcastically, no less!

Not a subjective trope.


* IfItWasFunnyTheFirstTime: Rosemary's RunningGag when asking her client [[IronicEcho "You don't say!"]] after something was noted to her to be repeated every time she has screentime, the joke ''never'' changes and makes her seem incredibly ditzy.

This is an In Universe trope. Not a YMMV. Trope is misused.


* {{Mondegreen}}: "Penry" is easy to mishear for Henry without closed captioning. The same goes for the theme song's final lyric, "Fan-riffic!"
