3''Pat & Stan'' (''Pat et Stanley'') is a French animated TV series created by Creator/PierreCoffin and animated by Mac Guff (both of the ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1'' fame). The show follows a pink hippopotamus Pat and the orange dog Stan - two best friends who turn the world around them into all sorts of crazy adventures.

7!!''Pat & Stan'' provides examples of:
8* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Most of the time this is the dynamic between TheDitz Pat and StraightMan Stan.
9* DeadpanSnarker: Stan is often extremely snarky towards Pat and makes fun of him when he thinks Pat is acting like a coward for no reason. [[TheChewToy He's also often proven wrong afterwards and ends up being on the receiving end of things]].
10* HatesBaths: Stan really hates baths. First 7-minute episode "Bath Time" reveals that Pat has a whole day dedicated to cleaning his friend, which Stan is obviously not happy about.
11-->'''Pat:''' You have so many layers of dirt, I feel like an archaeologist! I could be rubbing and scrubbing all day.
12* HerrDoktor: Professor Chi Chi speaks with German accent, always wears a white labcoat and creates strange inventions.
13* NameAndName: ''Pat & Stan''.
14* NotWhereTheyThought: In the short "Peeing 2", Stan is [[PottyEmergency desperately waiting outside of what he thinks is the bathroom door]]. Pat comes by and fixes the door, so Stan runs in. ''That's'' when Pat reveals that [[MistakenForToilet it was actually their closet door]].
15-->'''Pat:''' That's funny. Why is he going in the closet? The bathroom's right here.
16* SluggishSloths: Stuart is a [[{{Sleepyhead}} narcoleptic]] and has a RunningGag of falling asleep at the most inopportune times.
17* SomethingPerson: Pat & Stan's superhero identities, Patman and Woofman.
18* ToiletHumour: Sometimes invoked by Pat. For example, the "Cloud" short, where the duo creates various weather effects while sitting on the cloud - Stan makes rain by peeing, while Pat causes lightning by farting.

20-->'''[[https://youtu.be/kpYmG-BqDzg Stan:]]''' Okay, [[ThatsAllFolks that's about enough for today, folks]]. See you next time!
21-->'''Pat:''' But wait, where's the joke?
22-->'''Stan:''' We don't have to make a dumb joke every time we come out here! ''(slips on Pat's BananaPeel and falls)''
23-->'''Pat:''' I happen to like dumb jokes. ''(laughs)'' See you around!
