History WebAnimation / NigelAndMarmalade

** 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]].

* RecklessGunUsage: Trim Lipply, a tiny blue person, starts an adventure by firing "the Adventurer's Pistol" into the air. This kills a bird, and her irate husband swoops down [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou to fling Trim from above]]. When saved by Nigel and Marmalade, Trim celebrates the end of his adventure by firing the Adventurer's Pistol into the air again. This kills the other bird.

** Also, happens sometimes even without Nigel implication. Like the Colonel Kernel's emporium not having other clients that Nigel and Marmalade for several years, because it is located at the top of a mountain ; Trim Lipply accidentally shooting dead birds because he doesn't aim before firing his gun, despite Marmalade trying to avoid this ; the evil tree stump or Kevin the demonic fox having villagers actively trying to trap and kill them for being dangerous jerks ; or the castor with flacid teeth, which is considered as his "secret shame", accidentally divulgating it to a bird, a sentient tree and Nigel and Marmalade because he is singing about it out loud.

* HeroWithAnFInGood: Nigel. Whenever someone gives him a request, he does his absolute best to fulfill it. Unfortunately, his control over his magic is very lacking, leading 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 seem to think on the consequences of their wish.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Almost every episode of the series has Nigel and Marmalade ultimately doing more harm than good in an attempt to help someone in need. For example, in [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3v-vkZcVfCM this short]], Nigel gives a sentient tree stump feet so it can escape a goblin that plans to destroy it, but the stump turns out to be evil. And in [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8lZ9tx7QQ1M this one]], Nigel makes a bog witch's head smooth so she'll stop rubbing everyone else's heads out of jealousy, but he ends up accidentally removing part of her brain in the process and the witch continues rubbing their heads anyway. The list goes on.

* FishingForSole: When they go fishing, Nigel caught a tyre and Marmalade an arm.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Almost systematically, such as Nigel creating a barricade with no door around a lake for a guardian frog and the latter's mate comes back for shopping and has no way to get in.

** 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.

* PokeThePoodle: Many of the antagonists that Nigel and Marmalade encounter have that trait such as [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MQMGK6HI2do a cockney hobbit committing crimes in a convenience store]]; said crimes included slapping the crisps and throwing slices of ham at an old woman, which Marmalade lampshades.
* ARareSentence: Throughout the series, the situations are so bizarre, meaning that everything they say about them sound like cobbled up nonsense.

* MundaneUtility: "Cooking With Portals" involves using portals to the underworld to bake food as they were ovens.

* LiquidAssets: In one episode, a goblin woman requests Nigel's help with her boyfriend, who has his hotness sucked by a 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 jar.

* PokeThePoodle: Nigel and Marmalade once encountered [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MQMGK6HI2do a cockney hobbit committing crimes in a convenience store]]; said crimes included slapping the crisps and throwing slices of ham at an old woman, which Marmalade lampshades.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Beside 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.

* SapientSteed: Nigel rides on Marmalade's back as he's a dog/horse, and Marmalade can talk to anybody.

* HeroWithAnFInGood: Nigel. Whenever someone makes a request of him, he does his absolute best to fulfill it. Unfortunately, his control over his magic is very lacking, leading 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 seem to think on the consequences of their wish.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Possibly. Marmalade is described as a "dog/horse", but it's not entirely clear 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.

** Colonel Kernel's pop-corn is the most delicious in the world, precisely because it is sentient.
** The sausages from the sausage shack get taken away from them because of the fact they're sapient.
** The Duke eats the most delicious cakes in the world on 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.

* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: Marmalade's face and voice are both completely neutral 24/7, so when he has to express an emotion, he does so by plainly stating how he's feeling. One time, he said that he was in a panic attack in that tone when a prank witch pranked him with a balloon.
