About this deal

Goosewing appears to have an assistant named Heinrich (he never appears on screen), whom he often calls out and blames his failures on him. In fact, "Heinrich" appears to be just a figment of Goosewing's imagination, an imaginary friend. [ citation needed] However, the comic book version of the characters by Marvel reveal that Heinrich is actually his former assistant who is always complaining about his paltry wages. [ citation needed] The phrase "Gordon Bennett!" is used frequently throughout the series by numerous characters as an all-purpose swear word/expression of displeasure. Stories of its origin in the early 20th century vary, but it may be an alteration of "Gorblimey!" (a corruption of "God blind me!"). Ruritania: On one occasion the country (using that actual name) is referred to, because that week's adventure takes place there. It is mentioned as the name of a bank in an episode of Victor & Hugo as well. Seinfeldian Conversation: Constantly. One of the series' primary sources of humor is the characters having longwinded, often inappropriately timed tangents about minutiae (or nothing at all), usually in which one or even all parties have no idea what anyone's talking about.

Funny Foreigner: Used repeatedly in the traveling-the-world episodes, especially the Frenchmen...er, Frenchbirds, Gaston et Pierre. The opening shots of each episode establish the setting as a darkly forested part of central Europe filled with nervous villagers and horrible creatures of the night.

This series provides examples of:

One issue of the comic had an appearance by superspy Ian Flamingo, and another featured poet Edgar Allen Crow.

Obstructive Bureaucrat: Chances are, younger viewers might not recognize such a trope in the information secretary in the "Town Hall Terrors" episode. She'll tell you that information for the Grants for Crumbling Castles Department is on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. So don't come on Tuesday, lest you need to know trivial info such as Popes and funny fish. The title of the game was a parody on the title of a British comedy play No Sex Please, We're British!. This [ which?] VHS title appeared in 1990 but, at the time, the episodes contained were somewhat exclusive to video (the first was not televised until 1991, neither was the latter until 1993). Nanny, albeit dim, is a sweetheart through and through. She might as well be the kindest character in the series.

Gaston and Pierre not only affect comically over the top French accents and throw in the odd basic French word, but also use the rules of French grammar (such as transliterating "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" as "What is that that it is?" instead of simply "What is that?") to signify that they are speaking their native language. Van Helsing Hate Crimes: Von Goosewing is trying to kill a vegetarian vampire merely because he's a vampire.

Falling Chandelier of Doom: In "Igor's Busy Day", Igor tries to use one of these to crush American tourists Scott and Laura. Unfortunately, he relies upon Nanny to trigger it. First, she misunderstands the command "Hit the beak" and hits Igor's beak instead of the beak of the statue which triggers the falling chandelier. Later, she realises her mistake and hits the beak of the statue... while Igor himself is under the chandelier. Hoomite: Our legends say that when the great god Ra has had his fill of Human Sacrifice, Upshi shall rise from the dead. Danger Mouse DVD news: Announcement for Danger Mouse - The Complete Series Megaset!". tvshowsondvd.com. Archived from the original on 2013-02-05 . Retrieved 2010-08-26. Disc 9 (Year Nine): "I Spy with my Little Eye...", "Bigfoot Falls", "The Statue of Liberty Caper", "Penfold Transformed!", "A Dune with a View", "Don Coyote and Sancho Penfold"Overly Long Name: The bandit in "Vampire Vacation" is called Juan José Maria Velasquez Campara Ortega Madella Mañana Calamare Instituto Habana Banana Que Paso Su Manos. He later shortens it to his initials. Alps-A-Daisy" clearly states that the series takes place in the late 1980s (1989 to be exact) and "The Rest Is History" has the first Count's servant identified as Igorth not Igor. Igor himself seems keen to meet him, implying they are seperate people. Limited Wardrobe: The main and recurring cast members are always dressed in the same clothes. Notable in Nanny always wearing her arm in a medical sling for some reason. (One newspaper comic gives the reason: she's hiding an Embarrassing Tattoo.)

Igor's Busy Day" has a joke involving Igor enlisting Nanny in triggering a Falling Chandelier of Doom for castle vistors with the instruction: "Hit the beak, Nanny!". He meant for Nanny to press the beak of a statue to activate the Booby Trap, but Nanny thought he meant his own beak.
