History WebAnimation / NigelAndMarmalade

* SmallNameBigEgo: Graham, who's famous for having the biggest mouth, feels he has to kill a seagull to protect his "title", feeling he can't compete.

->''He's Nigel the tiny wizard\\

* AnimateBodyParts: In one short, Nigel and Marmalade have a customer for their potions who wants flesh dissolving acid to kill his sentient right hand [[DisproportionateRetribution because he finds it annoying]]. Nigel frees the hand and said hand wants to go stabbing afterwards.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The serie basically runs on this trope.

** When trying to save Trim Lipply, Nigel tries merging himself and Marmalade into a bird. He only suceeds in merging both into a bird-shaped lump of meat.
* BottomlessPits: The bottomless ice gorge in the deadly mountains, that people will occasionally tried to cross on a stone bridge guarded by a troll, to go to the hamburger van parked on the other side. According to Marmalade, it's litteraly a bottomless pit.
* BringMyBrownPants: [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KHDUBzlZLXE In one short]], Marmalade does this after noticing that the flesh-table he and Nigel are riding is approaching a cliff. Nevermind his apparent lack of pants.

* FishingForSole: When they go fishing in a pond, Nigel caught a tyre and Marmalade an arm, which were being used by the Inventor Fish for his contraption in order to get out.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Well, since every episodes last one minute or less, each occurence of foreshadowing technically count. However one is perticulary distinguishable: when Nigel and Marmelade help Kevin the fox out of a trap, he gladly goes away without thanking them. Usually, when they help someone and this person is happy, they thank them. Immediately after, the villager who set the trap comes back, and reveals that Kevin is actually a '''demonic''' fox, and a jerk.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Usually, beside some cameos of previous caracthers and ContinuityNod, each episode is disconnected from the others. However, the episode published on the 19th of march of 2024 starts with Nigel and Marmalade being locked in a dungeon, a direct consequence of stealing a wizard's hat in the previous episode published earlier that month.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Qwimble Norris, a flesh disk, gets trapped in the well that serves as the only entrance or exit of the town's hottest nightclub. Nigel gives him a push further down, finally letting him enter the club... which is full of corpses. It turns out he was stuck in there, by his own estimation, by five or six decades, trapping everyone inside. When he keeps chumming up with the dead patrons, Nigel asks Marmalade if Qwimble has gone insane. Marmalade confirms it.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: Nigel. Whenever someone gives him a request, he does his absolute best to fulfill it. Unfortunately, his ability to think on the consequences of the wish leads to exaggerated forms of the wish in ways that invariably backfire on the wisher. To be fair to Nigel, though, a good amount of the wishers don't think about said consequences either.

** A rare heroic case with Nigel. He is well intentioned and tries to use his powers for good. But it usually ends up poorly for the people he tries to help. And yes, that includes him when, for some reason, he casts his own spell on himself or on his house. Repeatedly.
** A more traditional villain case with the Prank Wizard. He uses a magic balloon to prank Marmalade and send him into the sky, not caring the danger of the situation. So, in return, in one of the few occurrences where Nigel actually does magic exactly how he wants, he turns the Prank Wizard into a balloon himself to go save Marmalade, and that also came with the side effect of the Prank Wizard [[PopGoesTheHuman exploding]].

* LiquidAssets: In one episode, a goblin woman requests Nigel's help with her boyfriend, who has his hunkiness sucked by a Jam Jar of Insanity, reducing him to a shriveled wreck. Nigel opens the Jar and confirms it's in there, but pulling it out too early accidentally infuses it into the nearby Nutella jar, creating an animated, musclebound entity. The girlfriend ends up running away with the Nutella.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Possibly. Marmalade is described as a "dog/horse", but it's unclear whether that means he's part-dog and part-horse, or that he is either a dog or a horse and it's unclear as to which.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Besides the fact he is rotting and attracts vultures, the Undead Cyclist still behaves as a normal human being. It is implied that he isn't an unique case.

** Patricia enters a duel with the cowboy she insulted by flicking his bulbous Adam's apple. She is clearly unfamiliar with the gun, but as the cowboy gets distracted by talking with Nigel and Marmalade, Patricia works out how to fire it and [[BoomHeadshot ventilates the cowboy's head]]. To be fair, the cowboy did manage to shoot once, but missed.

** The Duke eats the most delicious cakes in the world on a daily basis, and it absolutely doesn't bother him to eat a sentient cake able to talk. Nigel and Marmalade neither, but they stopped when they realized that cutting the cake hurts it badly.

* SirSwearsALot: Just about everyone, barring the titular duo, have really colourful vocabulary.

** Also, happens sometimes even without Nigel's intervention. [[SecretShop Colonel Kernel's emporium has no other clients that Nigel and Marmalade for several years, because it is located at the top of a mountain]], [[RecklessGunUsage Trim Lipply shoots two birds dead because he doesn't aim before firing his gun]], despite Marmalade trying to avoid this, the evil tree stump and Kevin the demonic fox have villagers actively trying to trap and kill them for being dangerous jerks, or the beaver with flacid teeth, which he considers his "secret shame", accidentally divulgating it to a bird, a sentient tree and Nigel and Marmalade, [[CannotKeepASecret because he is singing about it out loud]].

** Marmalade is fond of chocolate and when he fell into a vat of chocolate, he says that he loves it.

* TropeName: Combined with SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud. In one incidence, the sausage shack owner says "Boo hoo! Sad noises!" when they don't have the sentient sausages for their business. Another incidence is when Marmalade is sleeping and says "Snore. Sleeping noises".

* FormulaBrealingEpisode: Usually, beside some cameos of previous caracthers and ContinuityNods, each episode is disconnected from the others.

** This gets deconstructed by the sausages from the Sausage Shack, which get taken away from the sausage delivery truck by a Sack because they're sapient and are brought to the Sausage King to form an army. Said sausages rallied against the Shack, and the Shack employee said they don't like being eaten and that the one in the advert was "a paid sausage actor".

* FeatheredFiend: Downplayed; every bird is a {{Jerkass}} with [[ToothyBird teeth]], eager to laugh at other's misery and call them bastards. This is a RunningGag across the series. The Vulture pecking a zombie is the exception.
