Pluto has become the Butt-Monkey of the solar system, and not just because it's named for the Butt-Monkey of the Greek-Roman pantheon of gods. Want to get someone's attention? Show that things are serious? That a villain can put his money where his mouth is? Screw the status quo! This time, change is happening, and it's something big! Something cosmic! Something on a large-scale level that would shock the world if it happened in Real Life! A change that will alter the universe! ...er, well, at least the galaxy... The solar system? What do you mean Reed Richards Is Useless? What can we alter about the universe that would be a big deal without being a big deal? It's not like we can blow up a planet... Wait! What about one of those planets floating around the edge of the solar system? That insignificant, dark, icy one with one giant and four minuscule satellites — no one will miss that. It wasn't even important enough to be called a real planet. What was its name again? Never mind. Let's blow it up! The reason Pluto was downgraded from a planetnote A word which, prior to 2006, had no formal definition to a dwarf planet is based on the 2006 formalization of the definition.note Which itself sparked a lot of still-ongoing controversy and criticism, both within and outside the astronomical community, for several reasons that include and go beyond Pluto's reclassification. To qualify, an astronomical body has to have four characteristics: It's in orbit around a star or stellar remnant; It's big enough to be spherical from its own gravity; It's not so big that thermonuclear fusion has begun (in other words, it's not a star); It has cleared its orbit of all similar-sized objects. When the definition was finalized, it was quickly found that Pluto fails the fourth criterion, as it is very similar in size, composition, and orbit to hundreds of other objects in a region of space called the Kuiper Belt. Ironically, Pluto is still one of the most valuable objects for exploration, since it's the closest Kuiper Belt object and can provide science with information about the solar system's formation. So much so, New Horizons (which was launched in January 2006, seven months before the IAU worked its magic) flew past the planetoid in July 2015. That might have changed when the first clear picture of Pluto taken by New Horizons revealed a large heart formation on its surfacenote named the Tombaugh Regio, after the discoverer of Pluto, Clyde Tombaugh making it an internet sensation and possibly the most adorable (dwarf) planet ever. Indeed other images from the same spacecraft have shown Pluto is far from being a dead world covered with craters, instead having large — for its size — mountains, what seem to be dunes, and complex surface features that show (at least past) geological activity.note Not to mention both it and its largest moon, Charon, may become geek's paradises if the IAU has no problems with those names. See also Throwaway Country. Not to be confused with Mickey's dog. We hope. For the Roman God Pluto being kicked around, see Death Is a Loser. On the other hand, one might be inclined to wonder how it relates to the death of Meio Setsuna... Compare Insignificant Little Blue Planet for the self-inflicted version, and Uranus Is Showing for another planet that's... a different kind of Butt-Monkey. |

Naturally, it's the Smug Snake who thinks himself far more brave and persecuted than he actually is that lists Pluto as his answer, despite Nancy telling him that Pluto isn't a planet. | |

By the end of season 1, we've seen Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter; by the series finale, they've added Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune. That's all. | |

Rick and Morty: This is the B-plot of "Something Ricked This Way Comes", where Jerry's belief that Pluto is still a planet attracts the attention of a Plutonian politician, who recruits him to assure the masses that there is nothing wrong with Pluto by telling them it is still a planet. It turns out that said politician is doing this because, as a Plutonian scientist tells Morty, Pluto used to meet the qualifications to be a planet, but the mining of Plutonium from its core is slowly causing it to shrink, which will eventually lead to an Earth-Shattering Kaboom. Morty reveals this to Jerry, but his desire to be right and wanting people to like him outweighs doing the right thing; However, when the politician has the scientist arrested, who turns out to be his own son,Jerry decides to reveal the truth... which only causes public outrage and Jerry and Morty to be booted from the planet, leaving the fate of the Plutonians ambiguous. | |

xkcd references the debate several times: In 1551, Pluto's features include a "Debate Hole" where "all the people arguing about Pluto's planet status" will go. The Alt Text proposes an unorthodox solution by reclassifying it as "dwarf Pluto". And to make matters even more confusing, 1555 suggests assigning the name "Pluto" to an actual planet located in a different solar system. This trope is subverted in 1020, where the first two panels seem like a typical Pluto controversy, but the third reveals it to be about something else entirely. It also has a mention in 473: #1458 parodies the iconic "That's no moon – It's a space station" by suggesting a new category called "dwarf moon". |

In the Our Worlds at War DC Comics miniseries, Brainiac manages to take over Pluto, hollow it out, and turn it into a brand new Warworld. All without being noticed by the many and various interstellar agencies on Earth, Darkseid and his lieutenants on Apokolips (somehow relocated to the same solar system by Darkseid's badassery), or Imperiex and his many many miniaturized forms. It apparently stays that way until the 31st century, becoming a plot-point in Legion of Super-Heroes. Although there's been a Crisis Crossover or four since then, and that version of the Legion isn't the main future anymore, so it's probably been quietly forgotten. | |

Futurama: A dark matter oil spill takes place at a penguin sanctuary in Pluto. Dealing with it is treated as the kind of thing only environmentalist hippies would do, and of course, Leela drags Fry and Bender into it (although, Bender was already assigned to clean it up as part of community service - being the one who caused the spill). However, Bender warms to the penguins and comes to take a more active role in aiding their rehabilitation. | |

Chester A. Bum blows up Pluto with nukes in an installment of Atop the Fourth Wall, just to get The Nostalgia Critic to take him seriously. The Critic is unimpressed. (He got more reaction from blowing up Hollywood, Rome, and France.) This happened during a "Previously on Atop the Fourth Wall" segment, meaning that the above didn't really happen in the That Guy With the Glasses universe. Also when he reviews Sailor Moon, he points out this trope and then proceeds to shoot poor Sailor Pluto. | |

Whle Pluto is never destroyed in Warhammer 40,000, it is typically the first stop for anyone trying to invade the Solar System. In fact the very first battle of the Solar War (part of the Horus Heresy) took place on Pluto as it was attacked by the Alpha Legion - and it stuck with Chaos until the end of the Heresy, which is a long time for a place so close to the Imperium's center! Although this is justified as Pluto is right on the edge of the Solar System and thus is first stop for invaders. | |

OMORI inverts the trope, as Pluto (anthropomorphized as "a big, circular, gray-ish guy with huge, bulging muscles") serves as a Warp Whistle for easy transportation, becomes a mentor figure to Kel, and can be challenged to a fight at several points in the plot. Pluto was originally part of Space Boyfriend's back room decoration, and two of the Space Pirates are freaking out about his escape because Pluto is Space Boyfriend's favorite planet. When Space Boyfriend regains his senses and is later informed of the news, he doesn't dismiss Pluto and instead believes that Pluto was destined for greater things than mere decoration with the other planets. | |

Shulie wonders how Pluto itself would feel about such a situation before Tom notices that it looks deflated. Then, George decides to have the audience vote on whether Pluto should be a planet for the rest of the show. | |

Sgt. Frog has a Plutonian native visit Earth in one episode. Her species needs to be remembered to exist, and its downgraded status is causing them to vanish. She doesn't succeed in the end, and is forgotten. | |

In Chicken Little, if you look very closely at the aliens' map of the Solar System, Pluto appears to be the first to be crossed out. The movie was released just one year before Pluto's demotion. | |
