Dexter and Blossom's Prehistoric Adventures/Tropes

This is the list of tropes for Dexter and Blossom's Prehistoric Adventures. This has also unmarked spoilers for the series.

Tropes
Cooper's Hawk: “It was all just an act?” Mandark's duck: “Sayonara, Mandark!” Alpha Dire Wolf: “Rule number 2 of hunting: Do not hunt prey that can fight back!” Blossom: “Animals, extinct and endangered, must work together.”
 * 3D Effects, 2D Cartoon - They are everywhere. Especially during underwater scenes in Seas of Monsters, The Giant Delta, Monster Whale and Life at Its Origins, since most of the prehistoric sea creatures were rendered in computer-animation.
 * Dexter's own laboratory was rendered mostly in computer-animation, when compared to the original show's 2D design.
 * Action Girl - Ms. Bellum fights off a pride of American lions in Feathered Forest.
 * In the same episode, Ms. Keane fights off Sedusa to save her husband, Professor Utonium.
 * Action Prologue - The entire series starts off with an unnamed Tyrannosaurus fighting an unnamed Triceratops. After all that, the Triceratops wins the fight and the Tyrannosaurus loses, before shifting to present day during Ms. Keane's class field trip at the Townsville Natural History Museum.
 * Actor Allusion - Billy West, one of the voice actors for Bugs Bunny, voices Buddy the eastern cottontail. Buddy also shares the same personality of Bugs.
 * Gilbert Gottfried, the voice of Iago from Aladdin, voices another parrot by the name of Percy.
 * Adaptation Dye-Job - Mandark's duck was yellow in Dexter's Laboratory. In this crossover series, she was colored white as yellow only occur in ducklings.

 * Animation Bump - The animation in this series is a lot more smoother and fluid than the original shows.
 * Animesque - For all the animal characters (Sans Bullet the squirrel).
 * Art Shift - To the movie-quality traditional animation style.

 * Princess Morbucks also counts as well.
 * Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! - During In the Beginning, Diana and Dave, along with a pack of Acheroraptor, were seen feeding on a dead Torosaurus.

 * Butt-Monkey - Dexter himself. Also, Raphy the dodo.
 * Call A Smeerp a 'Rabbit' - Dee Dee refers an Elasmotherium as a giant unicorn. Which is actually true, since Elasmotherium has a very long horn on its head, similar to that of an unicorn.
 * Professor Utonium calls Mel the Gigantopithecus a bigfoot.
 * The Cameo - Mac and Frankie Foster from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends make a brief non-speaking cameo appearance in Feathered Forest as they hear Bubbles' various animal calls to the animals from the previous episode that rampage Townsville as she annouces the fight duel between Fang and the alpha of the dire wolf pack.

 * Cats are Mean - Averted with Fang, Valentino and Ginger. Played straight with White Kitty, as well as Eurasian cave lion, American lion, scimitar cat and Dinofelis. Thylacoleo and Thylacosmilus, though not cats, fit this trope.
 * The Cavalry - In Jurassic All-Stars, Stan activates the time portal, as he, along with Diana, Dave, Vinney and Julie, arrive in the Jurassic America and help Dexter and Blossom's team and Big Al to escape from Sauron.

 * Darker and Edgier - This crossover series is a lot darker than the original two shows. Which is why the series was rated TV-PG.
 * A Day in the Limelight - Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane are the main focus in Feathered Forest.
 * Dee Dee and Beau are the main focus in Down Under and Finding Dee Dee.
 * Life at its Origins focuses more on Stan the Tyrannosaurus and Diana the Dakotaraptor than the main cast's adventure in the Cambrian seas to find an Anomalocaris.
 * In Lost in Dinosaur Park, Bullet was stayed behind with Percy, Buddy, Opal, Reynard, Valentino and Ginger to guard the Powerpuff Girls' house while the main cast is in the Late Cretaceous Canada. But, when Buddy got kidnapped by Mandark and the Rowdyruff Boys, Bullet and her friends have a rescue mission, with the help of the two spies in their black bodysuits, that are really Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane in disguise.
 * The stars of Super Gatorland are actually Martha and Paul the passenger pigeons, not Deinosuchus.
 * Demoted to Dragon - Mandark and Princess Morbucks became this as Indominus Rex becomes the Big Bad of Back from Extinction.
 * Sedusa is this in Feathered Forest, while the main antagonist in that episode is the alpha dire wolf.

 * Everything's Better with Dinosaurs - Including James Woods-voiced Tyrannosaurus rex as one of the good guys!
 * Everything's Better with Penguins - Spheniscus urbinai are the giant Miocene cousins of Magellanic penguins. Back from Extinction features more penguins, from Kairuku to gentoos. Though not penguins, Hesperornis and great auks may count.
 * Evil Counterpart - Indominus Rex to Black Beauty.
 * Expy - Buddy is a complete expy of Bugs Bunny.
 * Fake-Out Opening - Bullet's introduction in the first episode. First, Buddy and his rabbit friends were chased by Reynard the fox. Then, Bullet shows up, lures the fox into the tree and Reynard got hit. Suddenly, Bullet sees a Cooper's hawk chasing a flock of house sparrows and Bullet does knifehand strike in the hawk's head. The Cooper's hawk falls down to the ground, a victory for Bullet and then, Percy says “Cut!” and is amazed about Bullet's training. And turns out that Buddy and Reynard are really just Bullet's friends. Lampshaded by the hawk.
