This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ever hear a Funny Animal say, "I'm only human"? Weird, ain't it? This may indicate that a Funny Animal is unaware that he isn't human (yes, web pages aren't any more human than Funny Animals, but you know what I mean). This may also apply to actions, such as a dog eating ice cream or chocolate without getting sick, or a weasel having a romantic relationship with a human with no comment whatsoever. Most likely, it implies that the creator views the character's appearance as simply cosmetic; as far as the setting is concerned, they're just as human as you, no matter what they might look like. Ever wonder why Mickey Mouse was never shown with cheese in the theatrical cartoons? Walt Disney himself forbade it! Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Sometimes, of course, this simply happens because Most Writers Are Human. Can be combined with Furry Reminder for comedic effect. Related to Furry Confusion and Anthropomorphic Shift. Not to be confused with denying you are part of the Furry Fandom. If a non-human is knowingly and ironically referring to himself as human, it's In the Original Klingon. Usually subverted if the character is a Beast Man; they'll insist that they are not a weasel since they, well, aren't a weasel. Can be justified if the character is a victim of Forced Transformation who Was Once a Man- referring to themselves as "human" and doing other human activities may be just force of habit. Sub-Trope of I Would Say If I Could Say and Orphaned Etymology. Contrast Furry Reminder. Compare and Contrast Furry Lens, when the character actually is human but just looks like an animal to the audience.

Count Duckula has the Count run afoul of a couple of Egyptian cultists, who believe that as soon as the god Ra has had his fill of Human Sacrifice, he will raise their pharaoh from the dead. Duckula lives in a world of anthropomorphic birds. | |

BoJack Horseman features both humans and anthropomorphic animals living as equals. Occasionally, animals are included in real-world racial allegories (the Latin Kings and Skinheads gangs in "Our A-Story is a D-Story" include animals), even though there are also instances of Fantastic Racism among animals. | |

Looney Tunes: In one cartoon, Sylvester (a Talking Animal) is trying to catch and eat a bluebird, much to the dismay of his son (a Funny Animal). The following exchange occurs: One of Elmer Fudd's few solo cartoons had him watching his boss's dog, Rover, for a few days. His boss informed him that Rover believed himself to be human and expected Elmer to treat him that way. Throughout the cartoon, Elmer would slip up (feeding Rover dog food, or have him watch a Lassie expy, etc), causing Rover to be offended. In the 1941 cartoon, "The Cat's Tale", a mouse gets chased by a cat, and tired of it, tries to give himself the courage stand up to him. He looks at himself in the mirror and says, "What am I? A man or a mouse? I'm a man!" and proceeds to go out and talk to the cat. By the end of the cartoon, after all of his plans backfired and the cat is chasing him again. He gives himself another peptalk to try and go back out there, once again asking himself "What am I? A man or a mouse." He then shrugs and says, "I'm a mouse," and leaves it at that. In "Daffy - The Commando," Daffy Duck wears a shirt labeled "Human Cannon Ball" when he flies into Berlin, Germany. Though knowing Daffy it isn't too off to think he'd wear one even if he is a duck. In "Often an Orphan", Porky Pig is a farmer and he is harassed by Charlie Dog, who wants Porky to adopt him. At one point, he shows up at Porky's door with a pig under one arm and a chicken under the other, and says, "Hey! Whatdya say we have some ham and eggs?" Fridge Horror: Hey wait a minute! Porky Pig raises pigs on his farm?? Does that make him a cannibal? |

Mickey Mouse, besides the ears and tail, is barely a mouse himself. Walt Disney wouldn't let him be shown eating cheese. However, cartoons such as House of Mouse, created long after Walt's death, actually do show him having an affinity to cheese. A "talking" Mickey Mouse toy apparently dating to 1976 (10 years after Disney's death) had a pull string that allowed it to "say" eight phrases, one of which was "How 'bout some cheese, please?" |

Discussed in Freefall. Doctor Bowman programmed his artificial intelligences (and Uplifted Animals) to defer to humans, but when he programmed the definition of "human" into them, he didn't restrict it to "one narrow subset of primate DNA". Instead, there's a list of qualifying traits, and the definition of "human" is meeting a certain number of them. Bowman himself is a chimpanzee, but Florence agrees that he's human without hesitation. | |

A sort of third-person variant. In the Discworld series, the other wizards, and most of Ankh-Morpork, have gotten so used to the Librarian's form (he was turned into an Orangutan early in the series), that it's mentioned if an outsider had told the Wizards they saw an orangutan in the library, they'd probably go and ask the Librarian if he'd seen it. | |

The cast of Arthur (and the book series it's based on) are basically a bunch of average kids, their families and teachers....who just happen to be different anthropomorphic critters. This is rarely mentioned, and they've referred to themselves as "people" at least once. A common fan theory is that they are human, but are seen through a Furry Lens. Which would contradict lines in early episodes, such as when Buster says "I'm not made of money, I'm made of fur", a bully saying (in reference to Buster) "The rabbit stays", and George (a deer) referring to himself as having "horns" (antlers) while a clip plays of him getting them wedged in a small space. |

Played with in Sam & Max Hit the Road, where they buy a coloring book. Sam can ask Max if he wants to do any coloring, and Max points out that he's colorblind. Sam then realises, "Me, too." The coloring book can still be used with what are explicitly Max's crayons, and there's several puzzles in the game which rely on colour codes. | |

This happens quite often on Goof Troop. In one episode, a bystander said that PJ "can't be human". They also make frequent references to things being "humanly possible". Everyone in-universe seems to be some sort of cat (Pete and P.J.) or dog (every other "anthro" character) except for occasional cameos (which aren't human either). | |

Top Cat: In one episode, TC leaves one of his gang as collateral for a loan. The lender is perplexed: "A human collateral?" Then again, the only time in the entire series when the gang actually behave like cats is when they spend the winter at Dibble's, and they all jump into the only bed, crowding Dibble out and pushing him onto the floor: anyone with a cat knows what THAT's like. The episode "The Million Dollar Derby" has this line. |

In One Piece, Tony Tony Chopper is a reindeer that ate a Devil Fruit called the "Human Human Fruit" ("Hito Hito no Mi" in Japan), which gave him human awareness and intelligence, as well as the ability to transform into a human (although he looks like a Beast Man in that form) and a hybrid form that's a cross between the human form and his original reindeer form. This trope is mostly averted, as Chopper is fully aware that he's still a reindeer, but on at least one occasion during the Fishman Island arc, Jinbe exclaimed that Luffy and the Straw Hats shouldn't fight the New Fishman Pirates. Chopper (along with Franky, a Cyborg) wonder why and ask "Is it because... we're humans?", to which Sanji replies: There's also Pappug the starfish. When he was young, he thought he was a human, because he confused the word "hitode" (which is Japanese for "starfish") for the word "hito" (Japanese for "human"). Averted as he grew older and realized he was a starfish all this time. Now, he's a full-fledged Funny Animal. |

The Amazing World of Gumball frequently hangs a lampshade on instances of this, like Gumball pointing out that it's pointless for Tina (a T. rex) to get piano lessons because she only has 4 fingers, or Gumball trying to throttle Darwin but failing because Darwin doesn't have a neck. One instance that is never commented on is Teri's obsession with washing hands despite being made of paper. "The Mustache" features Miss Simian talking about the human body...even though none of her students are human. In "The Loophole", Bobert concludes that humanity is the biggest threat to life on earth based on what he examines other people doing, even though none of his references are human. |

In a Peanuts comic strip from 1991, Snoopy was about to drink from a water fountain at Charlie Brown's school when a girl saw him and said, "Hey! There's a dog in the hall!" Snoopy looked around and replied, "Where?" In an earlier story, Sally is doing a report on animals. Snoopy is initially reluctant to help her because he claims that "I don't know any animals" (this evidently means that he doesn't consider birds to be animals, either). |

In one episode of Barney & Friends, BJ (one of the dinosaur characters) refers to himself as a "human cannonball". | |

This often happens to Meowth in Pokémon. A particularly funny example was in the episode where Meowth, Team Rocket, Ash and Misty have a Pokémon tournament to decide who gets to keep Togepi. When it's Meowth's turn to duel, he realizes he has no Pokémon. After failing to get Team Rocket to lend him one of theirs, it suddenly dawns on him that he's a Pokémon... and thus can bark commands at himself. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds zigzags this trope. The characters are often described (both in dialogue and in the linking narration) as though they were human, but there are also references to them being anthropomorphic animals, mostly dogs, though a few are members of other species. In particular, children and teenagers are referred to as "pups" and "puppies", while the words "cur" and "mongrel" are used as slurs. | |

The Looney Tunes Show: The episode "That's My Baby" Tina Russo's sister's baby, Zachary, is never referred to as a duckling even though he is one. He is instead always referred to as a baby as if he were a human baby. Also, he's drinking milk, which human and other mammal babies drink, not ducklings, or any other baby bird for that matter. |

Sam & Max: Freelance Police: The episode "The Penal Zone" has Max, an anthropomorphic rabbit, telling Sam, an anthropomorphic dog, that his psychic powers make him the next stage in "our" evolution. Whose evolution, exactly? The comics give us this intentional example: Played with in Sam & Max Hit the Road, where they buy a coloring book. Sam can ask Max if he wants to do any coloring, and Max points out that he's colorblind. Sam then realises, "Me, too." The coloring book can still be used with what are explicitly Max's crayons, and there's several puzzles in the game which rely on colour codes. |

In Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Scooby was chasing cats when their owner told Shaggy to stop his dog. Scooby's response? "Rog, Rhere?" | |

In South Park, Cartman's attempt to prank Butters by disgusing himself as a robot goes out of hand, and he ends up captured by government officials who believe he's a robot with memories and consciousness and has this trope in effect, a belief which lasts up until his Unrobotic Reveal. | |

Inverted with Iris in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines. Having grown up in the wild raised by Dragon-type Pokémon and being a Dragon Heart Bloodliner (meaning that she can use Dragon-type moves and understand Dragon-types), she considers herself a Dragon-type born in the wrong body rather than a human. | |

In Dust: An Elysian Tail at the end of the "Out To Dry" quest, Fidget states she would like to "maul [Gianni's] face off" to which Dust replies "Manners Fidget, it's what separates us from the animals." This is perhaps intended to be doubly funny as Dust and Fidget occupy different positions in the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism. | |

Brian the dog from Family Guy Zig-Zags with this. In one episode, Brian campaigned for equal rights for dogs, only for all the humans around to treat him like an idiot. This was presumably because, other than Brian and rare, one-off characters like his gay cousin Jasper, every other dog in the show's universe is an ordinary animal. Most of the time, though, the characters treat Brian as human (including the women he sleeps with), but then will occasionally jar the viewer with some reminder that he has at least some canine qualities. |

Which brings to mind the song "Man or Muppet?" from The Muppets (2011), in which a human character and his Muppet brother debate that question for themselves. | |
