1 | '''Basic Trope''': Anthropomorphic animals become more human-like as they age. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob the dog has a child named Puppy, who walks on four legs and cannot talk while Bob is bipedal and can talk. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Puppy is a literal normal dog who never talks, barks, walks on four legs, and wears nothing, except the occasional leash. Bob looks almost completely human-like apart from [[LittleBitBeastly a few dog-like features]], [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal wears a white T-shirt, grey jeans, red socks, and blue shoes]], talks, and uses technology. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob is bipedal, but that's where his anthropomorphism ends, and Puppy can say a few words and wears a diaper. |
5 | * '''Justified''': Anthropomorphic animals become human-like as they grow up. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': Puppy is bipedal and can talk while Bob walks on all fours and cannot talk. |
7 | * '''Subverted''': |
8 | ** Puppy was acting like a normal dog to spy on [[BigBad Alice the cat.]] |
9 | ** Puppy is in the crawling stage, [[EntertaininglyWrong we merely misread that as him being a non-anthropomorphic quadruped]]. |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': Puppy begins BecomingTheMask. |
11 | * '''Parodied''': Bob treats Puppy more like a family pet than a son. |
12 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob is more anthropomorphic than Puppy, but Kitty and her mother Claire are both normal-looking cats, while Danny the rabbit acts like an ordinary rabbit and his daughter Bunny is anthropomorphic. |
13 | * '''Averted''': Puppy and Bob are equally as anthropomorphic. |
14 | * '''Enforced''': Originally, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Bob was going to be not anthropomorphic as Puppy,]] but the [[ExecutiveMeddling executives wanted to appeal to a younger audience,]] so the creators made Bob anthropomorphic but they forgot to make Puppy anthropomorphic as well. They decided to keep that. |
15 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Hey Bob, how come your son seems less anthropomorphic than you?" |
16 | * '''Invoked''': Alice kidnaps the originally anthropomorphic Puppy and changes his brain into the mind of an ordinary dog to make him not anthropomorphic. |
17 | * '''Exploited''': ??? |
18 | * '''Defied''': Bob teaches Puppy to become anthropomorphic. |
19 | * '''Discussed''': "Bob, you're so lucky Puppy was anthropomorphic and not acting like a normal dog, like in these family sitcoms." |
20 | * '''Conversed''': "Why is Bob anthropomorphic but Puppy is not? Did they forgot to make Puppy anthropomorphic?" |
