History Anime / PopeeThePerformer

* [[ADogNamedDog Frog]], an unnamed [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin frog.]]

* AccidentalSuicide: The ending of episode 11, Swallower, is Popee swallowing a massive sword to kill the recently-swallowed Kedamono, not realizing he'll get impaled and die. Sure enough, he's basically paralyzed and can't do anything.
* AlienAbducteesFightBack: The first and only time Alien abducts someone, he's beaten up, his UFO explodes, and he's presumably eaten. He doesn't abduct after that, but he gets beaten up anyways.

* [[ChewToy Kedamono]], Popee's coworker, a purple wolf who wears orange boxer shorts and a virtually infinite amount of Noh masks to look like a person, who often tends to get the short end of the stick, especially at the hands of his "friend" Popee.

* [[CloudCuckoolander Popee]], a clown... person... [[AmbiguouslyHuman thingamabob]] dressed in striped pajamas with bunny ears and a cat's tail. Popee is unhinged, self-absorbed, and desperately wants to be the star of the circus. He's always eager to show Kedamono up, or abuse him for showing ''him'' up.

* DismissedGender: If Popee was a girl, Papi's sexual behaviors towards him would be seen as far more horrific

* Kedamono, for the most part, is a really nice guy. However, as Alien learned the hard way in Episode 12, Escape Show, destroying his chicken and then mocking him about it is a horrible idea.

* DoWrong,Right: Papi often corrects Popee's attempts to maim others, because he's not doing it correctly. This rarely ends well for Kedamono.

* IAteWHAT?!: In episode 29, Dark Side, Papi and Kedamono enjoy a delicious snack prepared by Popee just to realize they're eating Paola's trunk.

* CreepyFamily: Papi and his children are all bizarre, to say the least. ''Sociopathic'' might be a better way to describe it.

* UnexplainedRecovery: Most episodes involve the characters injuring themselves grievously through various means only to suddenly get better moments later [[UpToEleven merely to repeat the cycle over again]].

* AbsurdCuttingPower: In episode 29, Papi shows his sword skills by cutting a pineapple in half. However, the sun was visible during the cutting, so it somehow gets cut in half as well.
* AccidentalMurder: In episode 23, the gang is playing a game where Popee is in a barrel and you have to lodge swords into the barrel trying not to stab Popee. Papi does very good, but Kedamono unfortunately isn't as skilled.
* AccidentalSuicide: The ending of episode 11 is Popee swallowing a massive sword to kill the recently-swallowed Kedamono, not realizing he'll get impaled and die. Sure enough, he's basically paralyzed and can't do anything.

* AlienAbduction: Happens in episode 12 to Popee and Kedamono. The Alien [[AlienAbducteesFightBack gets attacked and eaten by Kedamono]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Popee, when Frog takes over his body in episode 7.

* CirclingBirdies: Repeatedly happens in episode 32.

* CruelElephant: Paola is capable of beating someone up ''bad''. The defining moment is in episode 29 where it knocks Popee out with a mace, all the while running him over.

** In episode 11, Popee swallows Kedamono and swallows a large sword to finish him off. [[AccidentalSuicide Sure enough, he's impaled and eventually dies due to not being able to move]]. Kedamono was the only one who could help him.
** In episode 16, in order to [[HelpYourselfInTheFuture stop himself from shooting Popee]], Kedamono time travels to the moment before, but he doesn't do a good job, and has to time-travel again. If Kedamono had remembered death didn't matter in his universe, everyone would have went on with their day. But eventually he fails so many times that [[TemporalDuplication he eventually creates so many clones of himself they fill up the entire circus, and even then there are still more]].

* DramaticUnmask: Popee dreams of Kedamono doing this in episode 39.
* EyelessFace: Popee accidentally loses their eyes in episode 13.

* FatalFireworks: At the end of episode 2, Kedamono's tail catches on fire. After chasing Popee for a bit, they both fall into a box of fireworks, which ignites and explodes.

* HollywoodMagnetism: In episode 3, Popee gains magnetic powers after being struck by lightning, and the things his magnetism attracts get bigger and bigger until [[SurpriseCarCrash he gets hit by a truck]].
* HypnoPendulum: In episode 20, Popee and Papi use these.
* HypnoticEyes: Popee and Papi practice this in episode 20.

* MasochistsMeal: In one episode, Popee swallows a sword. Later he eats Kedamono and then eats the sword again to try and kill him.

* RecycledAnimation: Episode 32 is essentially just Popee knocking Papi out, [[ItMakesSenseInContext Papi's head getting large, Papi cutting Papi's head open and finding another Papi inside of his head]]. Eventually Popee himself goes insane from how much the animation is reused.
* ResurrectionDeathLoop: Basically episode 4.

* SadistShow: No one is safe from the callously, brutal antics of Popee, Kedamono, or Papi.

* SoundtrackDissonance: When the catchy circus theme song comes up during an episode, which happens frequently, it's usually when something tense or horrifying is going on. Particularly Gunman where Popee gets pissed off and does a spray and pray against Kedamono, ending with Popee and him playing bullet tennis in glee. Till Popee gets it between the eyes.
* StuffBlowingUp: There's at least one explosion per episode.
* SuckOutThePoison: In episode 17, Papi sucks the poison out of Kedamono after he's stung by a scorpion. He (forcefully) does the same to Popee, before becoming overwhelmed with the poison himself and dying.

* SwallowedWhole: In one episode, Popee tears off his eyelids for a trick. Many hours later he can't sleep, so after many failed attempts and shenanigans, Papi resorts to swallowing him whole and it surprisingly works and Popee is able to sleep. Yes, you just read that right.
** In an earlier episode, Popee swallows Kedamono whole following the aftermath of a sword swallowing trick gone wrong.
* TemporalDuplication: In episode 16, Kedamono accidentally kills Popee, so he goes back in time to stop himself, but he fails, so Kedamono time travels with the past Kedamono to stop Kedamono, but they time-traveled to when Kedamono was going to stop Kedamono, so they keep time-traveling. Eventually, they time travel so much there's infinite Kedamonos.

* ThrowTheDogABone: This happens to Kedamono in Episode 25 where instead of being tortured like he usually is, he's just observing Popee and Papi's duel (or at least it would be a duel if one of them actually made a move). The worst thing that happens to him is that his hand gets stuck in a candy jar and he is shown happily licking a lollipop at the end of the episode.

* WilliamTelling: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in episode 4, when Popee tries to hit an apple he placed on Kedamono's head, he hits Kedamono instead. He doesn't give up; he summons Kedamono from Heaven [[ResurrectionDeathLoop over and over to do it again]], and it doesn't stop until Popee ends up killing himself.
* YankTheDogsChain: Happens to Kedamono frequently. In episode 7 for example, he manages to save Popee from being possessed by Frog ''and'' get his birthday cake back, only for a cockroach to fall on the cake and ruin it.
* YouHaveFailedMe: In episode 28, Papi summons Alien to do a circus trick, but Alien doesn't want to. That starts a trend of Alien disappointing someone and the disappointed person [[DisproportionateRetribution punching him so hard he goes flying]].
