History WesternAnimation / AxeCop

** It continues in “Mark Frankenstein” with G.D. quitting the team after it’s pointed out to him he has no battle cry, no powers and no training (and he [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers doesn’t even get unemployment for quitting]]). Then he pawns his diamond hat—his only possession of value—for $15, and his {{Backstory}} reveals no one took him or his ideas seriously and he was reduced to teaching elementary school. He’s somewhat vindicated by the end though.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Insofar as is possible with ''Axe Cop'' - The series goes for a more realistic tone than the comic, with the unchanged Axe Cop being painted as a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} BunnyEarsLawyer ManChild compared to [[OnlySaneMan Flute Cop]]. "Birthday Month" is probably the best example (see BadSanta, HeroicBSOD, HurtingHero).

* HurtingHero: According to Axe Cop himself, "medium" is the happiest he can feel. When not killing, he doesn't seem able to really enjoy himself at all.

* FasterThanLightTravel / TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: We're never explicitly shown how far Earth, Zombie Island InSpace or the "[[PlanetOfHats dinosaur planet]]" are from each other, but everyone arrives where they need to be at the right time.
-->'''Flute Cop:''' (while flying through space) How much longer?\\
'''Isabella:''' [[LampshadeHanging Ten minutes; fifteen at the most.]]\\
'''Axe Cop:''' Wrong! We're here!

* GagBoobs: The animators seem to enjoy sneaking these into the background. There's a ridiculously well-endowed lady magician (with a [[ShoutOut suspicious resemblance]] to Zatanna), a buxom villainess...

* AnAxeToGrind: Axe Cop's trademark weapon from which he gets his name.

* BalefulPolymorph: Book Cop sprinkles Fife Cop with eagle blood, turning him into Fife Eagle Cop.
** Flute Cop in "No More Bad Guys". First he gets dinosaur blood on him, transforming into "Dinosaur Soldier". Then he eats an avocado and becomes "Avocado Soldier". Finally he asks Axe Cop to wish him back to being Flute Cop, only for Axe Cop to wish for him to become "a giant gorilla with robo-gun fists and a red bow-tie". Flute Cop's wife isn't pleased.
** {{Downplayed}} in “Night Mission: The Moon”. Flute Cop becomes a bear after Axe Cop showers him with a decapitated bear’s blood, then Spider Bear Cop after accidentally swallowing a spider. This time, Flute Cop just rolls with it.

** Whenever someone undergoes a BalefulPolymorph, other people will immediately begin calling them by their new and most up-to-date name.

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Dr. Doo Doo forces [[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen the Queen of London, England]] to marry him so he can obtain her scepter, which gives poop power.

* NiceHat:
** Axe Cop is never without his cop hat, even when going swimming.
*** When he obtains the Power of Christmas, it gets transformed into a kickass [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushanka trapper hat]].
** As a child he had a red baseball cap with the letter M on it, a gift from his parents due to his resemblance to [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]].
** Grey Diamond wears a tall diamond hat (his child fans wear inflatable versions). When he lost everything in Vegas he temporarily replaced it with a traffic cone. During his army days he wore a shorter version with a brim.
