History WesternAnimation / OggyAndTheCockroaches

* DeathIsCheap: It didn't last when [[spoiler:Oggy and the roaches died in "Soldier for a Day"]].

* DissonantSerenity: What was Joey's expression when he prepares to [[spoiler:[[SquashedFlat crush a shark with an anchor]] while [[BadBoss using Marky as bait]] in "Oggy and the Mermaid"]]? A casual smile. He also briefly makes the same expression when getting a closer look at his handiwork.

* GagHaircut: [[spoiler:The roaches give Bob one '''awful''' haircut in "Oggy Splits Hairs"]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyHEVzxxmhw That one Heart Trampoline Promo]]: In this Cartoon Network commercial, Oggy is so lovestruck by Olivia [[spoiler:that he passes out]]. His pounding heart is then used as a trampoline by the other characters so that they can catch a glimpse of Olivia!

* HopeSpot: In [[spoiler:"Bitter Chocolate", with Oggy's house destroyed and nearly all his chocolates gone, Dee Dee seemingly does something nice and offers Oggy the last piece. The cat is overjoyed that something good finally happened to him... [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk until we hear]] a [[StuffBlowingUp bomb ticking from inside his mouth.]]]]

* KarmicTransformation: [[spoiler:Despite clearly thinking Joey looks repulsive as a realistic cockroach in "For Real", Dee Dee and Marky eventually get turned into realistic cockroaches themselves]].

* PianoDrop: [[spoiler:A piano falls on Jack near the end of "Face Off", [[HereWeGoAgain and he therefore has to get plastic surgery which Oggy endured throughout the episode]]]].

* SpoilerTitle: The season 4 finale is called [[spoiler:"Oggy Is Getting Married!" and it spoils the titular feline getting hitched]].

* TrainJob: It's heavily implied in [[spoiler:"Shoplifting!" that Lady K was going to make the cockroaches rob a train]].

* UnexpectedKindness: In "From Mumbai with Love", Oggy and Jack are left surprised when Dee Dee and Marky [[spoiler:give an Indian celebrity her gem back]].

* UnflinchingWalk: [[spoiler:In "High-Rise Nightmare", after they clear out everyone except Bob from the dog's new high-rise apartment building, the cockroaches blow it up without looking back]].
* VillainousBreakdown: Several examples, especially from [[TerribleTrio the cockroaches]]. Special note goes to Joey (their leader) [[spoiler:''flipping out'' after being outsmarted and defeated in "Oggy's Double" (though [[StatusQuoIsGod this didn't last]])]]. The only thing his friends Dee Dee and Marky could do was watch in horror.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The episode "Working Cat" has the Cockroaches actually helping Oggy get a job (so he could have money to buy food they could steal) ahead of his competitors, only to discover too late that [[spoiler:it involves pest control]].
* HopeSpot: In [[spoiler:"Bitter Chocolate", with Oggy's house destroyed and nearly all his chocolates gone, Dee Dee seemingly does something nice and offers Oggy the last piece. The cat is overjoyed that something good finally happened to him... [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk until we hear]] a [[StuffBlowingUp bomb ticking from inside his mouth]]]].

* InstitutionalApparel: Inverted. [[spoiler:During his VillainousBreakdown, Joey ends up in a straitjacket in "Oggy's Double". However, he wasn't in a corrective institution]].

** Oggy (a cat) once had a very pretty human girlfriend [[spoiler:who had a crush on Marky, one of the roaches. Oggy, of course, was jealous]].

** "Oggy VS Super Roach" has Dee Dee get struck by lightning which gives him SuperStrength. [[spoiler:At the end, it happens to Marky, Joey, and Oggy too]]

** It can [[spoiler:revive others, as shown when it made the roaches alive again in "The Ghost Hunter"]].

* NatureTinkling: [[spoiler:"Occupied" ends with the cockroaches urinating on Oggy's lawn. This scene was removed in the episode's remastering ("Nature's Call") though]].

* NotGoodWithRejection: Not as severe as some cases. However, in [[spoiler:"La Cucharcha" Joey experiences a VillainousBreakdown when Lady K (who [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he's in love with]]) rejects him]].

* {{Perfumigation}}: In "The Joker Joked", Oggy puts perfume on himself and he seems to think smells fine. [[EveryoneHasStandards The roaches clearly think it smells atrocious]].

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Done by Bob, of all people, in "The Hungry Ostrich Empire"; After the ostrich gets scared by him raising up his fist, it buries its neck into the floor, causing him to look surprised. He tries it again, only for Oggy to imitate the ostrich. Bob is so baffled by this that he simply ''leaves Oggy's house''.

** In "My Beautiful Prison", Oggy's efforts to obtain a treasure chest are eventually revealed to be for nothing; it [[SarcasmMode surprisingly]] was a trick the cockroaches played on him. [[spoiler:Also, the "treasure" was just a picture of the roaches themselves]].

* SquashedFlat: There are many instances in which the characters get squashed by something, though the show's favorite targets are the cockroaches. However, in "The Ghost Hunter", they experience a lethal example as they die after Oggy squashes them several times with a frying pan. [[spoiler:Of course, [[BackFromTheDead they got better]] towards the end of the episode, thanks to Oggy himself]].

* TakeThat: The episode "Fake News" appears to be one aimed at... come on, [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump who else could it possibly be, based on the name alone?]] It involves the cockroaches using ManipulativeEditing to make Oggy look like a villain (for example, editing a video to make it look like Oggy squashed Joey with his swatter, while he was begging for food). This results in several people all around the world protesting against Oggy and worshiping the cockroaches...even ''[[NiceGirl Olivia!]]'' The title card is even of a Hollywood star.

** In "The Patient", Oggy has to shove a rectal thermometer into Jack due to him being sick. [[spoiler:At the end of the episode, the same thing happens to [[KarmicButtMonkey the Cockroaches]]; however, the thermometer is much bigger than them]]!

* UndressingTheUnconscious: [[spoiler:The titular Oggy suffers a ShamefulStrip (courtesy of Joey and possibly Dee Dee) while unconscious in "Docu-Mentally"]].

* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: In a season 2 episode, Bob wants the roaches to reward him for bringing a [[ItMakesSenseInContext paper Oggy]] back to his house. Joey ''did'' reward him... [[KickTheSonOfABitch with a dynamite stick]]!

* FistPump: Having finally succeeded in [[spoiler:outsmarting [[ArchEnemy Oggy]] and stealing his special glasses in "Roach Vision", Joey happily raises a fist in victory]].

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Some season 3 episodes have been remastered, though not as much as the season 1 and 2 episodes. A big change, however, is that firearms now shoot plungers instead of bullets and female characters with large breasts have been either drawn with less revealing clothing or replaced with different characters entirely. A notable one is "Formula 1", wherein two cheerleaders were replaced with Oggy's sister and grandmother, and the BadassBiker babe that Jack was talking to was replaced with ''Olivia''.

* {{Flatline}}: Parodied in "Face Off". While Jack is looking at Oggy's messed-up face, the monitor flatlines. However, it starts beeping again until an Expy of Pac-Man eats the lines. This is followed by brief Pong gameplay. Apparently, Joey was behind the monitor strangeness the whole time.

** In "Sheriff Oggy", the roaches try to rob a bank several times. They also try to do the same thing in "Metalman" during one of Joey's [[EvilPlan plans]] to [[{{Greed}} get money.]]

** In "Sheriff Oggy", the roaches try to rob a bank several times. They also try to do the same thing in "Metalman" during one of Joey's [[EvilPlan plans]] to [[{{Greed}} get money]].

* BringIt: A couple times Joey does this. [[spoiler:While challenging Oggy to a fight in "Oggy and the Mermaid", for instance, he taunts him via moving his hand towards himself]].

* TheCameo: In ''Buddy Parrot'', when Oggy and the titular parrot reach a hospital, you can see [[WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko Sharko and Marina]] sitting on one of the chairs[[note]]There's also a similar mermaid and shark in ''Oggy and the Mermaid'', but still[[/note]].

** In "Winner Takes All", Jack declares war on Oggy, thinking that the latter cheated in their last game of chess. Oggy waves a white flag, Jack shoots it and it turns into a pair of underpants!

* UnexpectedKindness: Oggy and Jack are left surprised when Dee Dee and Marky [[spoiler:give an Indian celebrity her gem back]].

* WhiteFlag: A few examples. "Invincible" for instance has Joey wave a white flag to Oggy to show him he and the other cockroaches were surrendering.

** An earlier episode, "Hip-Hip-Hip-Hypnoses", saw a hypnotized Oggy robbing the same bank. Everyone in the bank at first laughed at his finger guns, but this time the guns could ''fire!''

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: They apparently work for SantaClaus.

* SexyWalk: Gender-swapped in "Crazy Shoplifting" when Oggy shakes his hips back and forth while DisguisedInDrag, which seems to be intentional on his part.

* JerkassBall: Some episodes have the cockroaches antagonize Oggy (or Jack, Bob, or whomever else) not because they will gain something from it (for example, stealing their food), but simply ForTheEvulz.

** DoubleSubverted in "The Ghost-Hunter". When Oggy actually does kill [[ArchEnemies the cockroaches]], who've been tormenting him for who-knows-exactly-how-long, he...doesn't seem happy and starts giving them a decent burial. However, during the process of doing so, he starts rejoicing. [[spoiler:Little did he know that the ghosts of the sons of bitches would come back to drive him so much more insane than ever before.]]

* SexyWalk: Gender-swapped in "Crazy Shoplifting" when Oggy shakes his hips back and forth while DisguisedInDrag.

* {{Gainaxing}}: The BadassBiker from the old version of "Formula 1", complete with sloshing sounds.

** [[spoiler:In "Docu-Mentally", Joey (and possibily Dee Dee as he was nearby) remove Oggy's [[FurIsClothing fur]]. This was part of a humiliating video the roaches were making of him for television]].

** Stanley, who only appeared as a OneShotCharacter in "The Outsider", makes a [[TheCameo cameo]] appearance in "Living Carrots".
