* RecycledINSPACE: ''[[Film/FurryVengeance Feathery Vengeance]]?''

* ToiletHumor: Woody farts his signature laugh, poops on Lance's girlfriend, and poops on a guy's ice-cream.

** Tommy states his favorite is pizza, which Lance seems to loathe.

** Woody loves peanut butter, especially peanut butter cookies, which is what drives him to exploit Lance for hundreds of peanut butter cookies.

'''Woody Woodpecker''' is a 2017 American live-action comedy film based on the eponymous Universal Studios cartoon character. The film focuses on Woody working to save his home tree from getting cut down by a rich attorney who wants to build a house in Woody's home forest.

!!''Woody Woodpecker'' contains examples of:

* MediumAwareness: Woody - true to his nature as a zany cartoon character - pauses the film to [[BreakingTheFourthWall address the audience]] at various points .

-->'''Samantha:''' You can't just kill it. The woodpecker is a protected species, you'd be breaking the law. A $10,000 fine!
-->'''Lance:''' Do you take credit cards?
-->'''Samantha:''' And 2 years in jail.

* SkewedPriorities: Park ranger Samantha tells Lance that the penalty for killing Woody will be $10,000 dollars ''before'' also adding 2 years in prison. Wouldn't it make more sense to state the penalty's sentence and then its fine?

* ToonPhysics: In contrast to the normal humans barring a few slapstick moments, Woody operates on cartoon physics - including [[MediumAwareness breaking the fourth wall several times]], defying gravity to walk along the walls and ceiling of his home, and SelfDuplication during his rap.
* VillainProtagonist: Both Woody and Lance (especially Woody) start off from the movie as this. Woody and Lance are initially hostile towards one another out of territorial dispute even though as Samantha points out, the forest is big enough for both of them, but seeing as Woody is the true victor in any fight that happens between the two, Lance starts to cave in and make amends with Woody.

* AnthropomorphicShift: Subverted. In this film, Woody is downsized to between one and two feet although back in the cartoons he was at least half the size of a human and drove a car. Also, Woody doesn't carry any money in this film while in the cartoons he always did especially whenever his nemesis Buzz Buzzard (who's not in this film) was involved and tried to cheat him out of his money.

* MadGod: Invoked, as the park ranger informs Lance that Woody's species was seen by the local indigenous people as the manifestation of their god of chaos.

** Woody loves peanut butter, especially peanut butter cookies which is what drives him to exploit Lance for hundreds of peanut butter cookies.

* ToonPhysics: In contrast to the normal humans barring a few slapstick moments, Woody operates on cartoon physics - including [[MediumAwareness breaking the fourth wall several times]].

* FourthWall: Woody does this often by "pausing" the movie.

* AdaptationalBadass: Woody flies, is very agile, and can drill through wood like a tornado in this film while he lacked these abilities back in the cartoons. In the 1940s animated shorts, Woody rarely flew and he stayed on the ground or drove a car to get to places.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Woody only saves Tommy from the bullies because he brings him food.
-->'''[[WebVideo/RebelTaxi Pan Pizza]]''': Woody, you piece of shit! All you care about is food! This kid means nothing to you!

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Lance when he is told that Woody is a protected species due to being the very last of his kind.

* AdaptationalBadass: Woody can fly and drill through wood like a tornado in this film while he lacked these abilities back in the cartoons. In the 1940s animated shorts, Woody rarely flew and he stayed on the ground or drove a car to get to places.

* CaptainObvious: Woody, though he must be aware of being this since he says [[Understatement obvious things]] whenever he's having fun.

* AnthropomorphicShift: Subverted. In this film, Woody is downsized to between one and two feet although back in the cartoons he was at least half the size of a human and drove a car.

* AnthropomorphicShift: Subverted. In this film, Woody is downsized to between one and two feet although back in the cartoons he was at least half the size of a human and drove a car. Also back in the cartoons, Woody fit in very well with human society and was treated as an equal since he always carried money (making him a frequent target of Buzz Buzzard) as while in this film Woody's simply treated as wildlife.

** Lyle loves hot dogs so much he ate 29 of them in one sitting!

* Gasshole: Woody when he eats beans can fart out his own signature laugh.

* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: Lance gets a handful of these while Woody is sabotaging the construction of his new house. After paying a huge bill, he gets handed yet another one to his shock. Then after paying that bill off, he gets more and more bills ranging from $25,000 to $65,000.

-->Samantha: You can't just kill it. The woodpecker is a protected species, you'd be breaking the law. A $10,000 fine!
-->Lance: Do you take credit cards?
-->Samantha: And 2 years in jail.

* SkewedPriorities: Park ranger Samantha tells Lance that the penalty for killing Woody will be $10,000 dollars ''before'' also adding 2 years in prison. Wouldn't it make more sense, especially from a legal standpoint, to state the penalty as the sentence and then fine?
