Line #1 PlayingWith/SmellySkunk


1	'''Basic Trope''': Skunks that are either shown spraying something, or smelling bad by default - usually with no stimulus required to activate their scent glands.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** [[MeaningfulName Stinky]] the Skunk drives people off with his scent.
4	** When the [[SavageWolves Big Bad Wolf]] shows up, Stinky sprays at him to save his friends.
5	** Whenever Stinky gets too stressed or worried, he sprays at his friends.
6	* '''Exaggerated''':
7	** Stinky's scent is so bad, it makes even him disgusted to the point of losing his lunch or making him pass out.
8	** Stinky's scent is foul enough to [[DeadlyGas cause death]].
9	** Whenever Stinky sprays, it's a literal [[{{Fartillery}} Fart Bomb]] that causes death to everything around him.
10	* '''Downplayed''':
11	** Stinky is smelly, yes, but it's only really bad when he sprays a target with his scent glands. Otherwise he just smells 'a bit off'.
12	** Stinky rarely sprays, and only does when he needs to.
13	* '''Justified''': [[TruthInTelevision Skunks produce noxious-smelling chemicals as a natural defense mechanism.]]
14	* '''Inverted''':
15	** Stinky sprays out pink clouds of flowery perfume.
16	** Or, standard skunk musk is considered attractive in this setting.
17	** Everything stinks ''but'' skunks.
18	* '''Subverted''':
19	** Stinky doesn't smell all the time.
20	** Stinky is about to spray his friends because they stressed him out, but then he is told to stop, and he stops.
21	* '''Double Subverted''':
22	** Stinky only sprays and smells when he's ''really'' ticked off.
23	** Stinky stops, only for someone to encourage him to spray them and he does so anyways...
24	* '''Zig Zagged''':
25	** Some skunks constantly smell bad, others don't.
26	** A single skunk's smell can go from bad to good to bad again.
27	* '''Parodied''': The smell can be smelled on the other side of the world, and maybe even from space!
28	* '''Averted''':
29	** Skunks don't smell in this setting, as with domesticated skunks who have their scent glands removed.
30	** Skunks don't even exist in this setting.
31	* '''Enforced''': The writer has a fear of skunks, so he decides to write skunks as EliteMooks.
32	* '''Lampshaded''':
33	-->'''Bob''': [[{{Squick}} Eeeww!!!]] Who ran over a skunk?!
34	-->'''Stinky''': No one ran over me. I'm stinking up the room.
35	* '''Invoked''': [[WackyFratboyHijinks Bob and his drunk friends tease Stinky]], and he eventually gets fed up and gives them what they asked for.

40	* '''Discussed''': "How could something so little and cute smell so bad?"
41	* '''Conversed''': "I got sprayed last week. It was horrible."
42	* '''Implied''': People hold their noses in Stinky's presence, but no one mentions his odor.
43	* '''Deconstructed''': Skunks are ostracized as AlwaysChaoticEvil, because EvilSmellsBad, even if such stereotypes are far from the truth.
44	* '''Reconstructed''': Skunks find better roles in society eventually, and their stink is found useful as a deterrent to not just themselves, but others.

46	* '''Played For Drama''': [[TheWoobie Stinky feels sad because no one likes him]].
47	* '''Played For Horror''': BigBad Stinky the Evil Skunk Emperor and his army of evil-and-mephitid-all-over Mooks [[{{Fartillery}} fart out]] venomous, disgusting smells that makes every of the animals but skunks suffocate to death from poisoning. Their farting gas are toxic enough to cause [[ApocalypseHow planetary apocalypse]].
