Bottersnikes and Gumbles | comment |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles is a Netflix adaptation of the Australian Bottersnikes and Gumbles book series.The stories recount a series of conflicts between the lazy, destructive Bottersnikes and good-natured, hardworking Gumbles. Inspiration for the series came from the emerging environmental movement. The two species were intended to represent opposing attitudes towards the environment; those who destroy the bush, and those who clean it up. These themes however are diffused by the series' humour, absurdity, playful language and its sense of the ridiculous. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: In "The Pied Tooter", when Toot gets a kazoo stuck in his throat, his toots become exceptionally good at attracting grubs, drawing out a very large batch from the underground. It winds up working too well, because it manages to also draw out gigantic grubs bent on eating the Gumbles. | |

Good News, Bad News | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_29c480a3 | comment |
Good News, Bad News: A variation exists in "The Pied Tooter". When all the Gumbles (sans Toot) wind up in the mouths of giant grubs, Happi says the good news is that the grubs don't have teeth so they weren't going to be eaten, and then adds that they're being slowly dissolved as is instead. Tink is quick to object and Jolli quips that the "good news" sucked more than the giant grubs sucking on them, so Happi responds with the actual good news... that they have plenty of time to think of an escape plan. | |

Stuff Blowing Up: In "Gumble Grabba", Float goads Gubbo into going into the mines by breaking his Gumble-capturing contraption and tossing it inside, greatly infuriating him. Because the mines are filled with the Bottersnikes' farts and their ears get red hot when they're angry, it leads to a massive explosion shortly after Gubbo runs into the mines - complete with his ears sparking as he enters. | |

Explosive Breeder: In "Eau De Gumble", Tink and Bounce eat all but two chili grubs which get left behind in a bucket after the two rescue Willi from Snike Hill. When they return later and reclaim the bucket, they discover that it's now full of chili grubs instead of having only the two from earlier, resulting in Willi (who is a child) getting confused and Bounce nervously telling him that she'll "explain later". | |

Five-Second Foreshadowing: In "The Return Of Sammi Whammi Gumble", when King Snike is questioning Snorg and Glob about who ate his mattress stuffing, Snorg says that they didn't know it was his, in a strangely unconvincing tone. Literally a moment later, Glob - like an idiot he is - blurts out that they did in fact know, quickly revealing that Snorg was indeed acting to appear innocent. | |

It becomes clear what happened if you know Toot's backstory. In "Rustbeard", the Bottersnikes briefly mention an unknown incident involving the Gumbles doing something to King Snike with a dustpan. Whatever it was, it made him hate dustpans with burning passion and grow a "beard" made out of dust. | |

Although they don't do it as often, Bottersnikes are capable of easily devouring a Gumble in a single bite, as shown in "Toot On Duty" and "The King's Seat" (with Toot being the victim both times). A few times King Snike considers doing it and one time almost succeeds in eating a Gumble (Toot, to be exact) before being foiled. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: In "Undercover Gumble", Tink disguises himself as a Bottersnike... using a poorly conceived suit made out of junk. With it even being described as a terrible design. The Bottersnikes fall for the disguise (with a bit of initial suspicion). In "Beyond Reasonable Drought", the Gumbles attempt to stop the Bottersnikes from finding out there's no water in the moat anymore by tossing whatever garbage they think would simulate water. Partway through however, they give up on that idea when Bounce mentions that it's not looking a lot like water and that even the dimwitted Bottersnikes are going to realize it's just junk. | |

Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_4c9d226e | comment |
Formerly Fit: Downplayed. In "The Return of Sammi Whammi Gumble", the titular Gumble is shown to have once been a professional athlete before going out of shape (though not gaining much weight) due to not performing sport activities for a long time thanks to being in space (as well as eating one too many space grubs). It bites him in the rear when he's unable to catch up to Bottersnikes whisking away a kidnapped Happi. | |

Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_4e9fe57d | comment |
Trauma Button: In both "Toot on Duty" and "The Pied Tooter", another character mentions something that, unbeknownst to them, pertains to Toot's unfortunate incident (mattress stuffing and a Bottersnike eating him, respectively). In both cases it causes Toot's memories of the event to resurface, and in the latter episode he also recoils in fear. The former episode also makes it clear that mattress stuffing is a horrible reminder for him. | |

Sapient Eat Sapient: Although they don't do it as often, Bottersnikes are capable of easily devouring a Gumble in a single bite, as shown in "Toot On Duty" and "The King's Seat" (with Toot being the victim both times). A few times King Snike considers doing it and one time almost succeeds in eating a Gumble (Toot, to be exact) before being foiled. Quite surprisingly, the grubs which Gumbles eat all the time happen to be sapient as well, as shown in some episodes. It comes into play in "A Grubby Truce" where Bounce and Tink have to strike a deal with the grubs they were previously hunting for to escape from Snike Hill. | |

Rubber Man: The Gumbles' special trait is the ability to easily bend and stretch into any shape they like without being hurt. This has its limits however - stretching too much causes Gumbles to "spang", i.e. lose the ability to stretch. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Toot is particularly afraid of the Bottersnikes, and has a strong aversion to mattress stuffing. As his thoughts reveal in "Toot On Duty", this is because he was once captured by the Bottersnikes and Swallowed Whole by King Snike and any mentions of either Bottersnikes or mattress stuffing reminded him of that. | |

Repeating So the Audience Can Hear: Zigzagged. With Toot being a one-word talker that can only be understood by the Gumbles, the Gumbles sometimes indirectly repeat or at least allude to what Toot says and other times they just respond without reiterating. | |

Crying Wolf | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_78d0ebcf | comment |
Crying Wolf: "The Monster In The Moat" provides an inversion of sorts. Willi alerts the other Gumbles of a "monster" in the Gumbletree's moat that he thinks he sees twice, but both times it turns out to be another Gumble playing in the water and Willi gets laughed at. However, when Willi sees something genuinely suspicious in the moat at night, he thinks he'll get laughed at again and as such doesn't alert the other Gumbles - unaware it's actually Bottersnikes in a makeshift submarine. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: A pre-episode example: in "Toot On Duty", prior to the events of the episode, Toot disposed of all mattress stuffing that was stored in the Gumbletree following an incident with the Bottersnikes because it reminded him of what he experienced during said incident. As it turns out, mattress stuffing just so happens to be the cure for Snike Flu and as a result the Gumbles are forced to get more from the Bottersnikes' mines. Sometimes, Tink does something that gets him and the other Gumbles into trouble, such as in "King Prisoner" where he tries to redeem King Snike (and fails). In "The Pied Tooter", Toot accidentally swallows a kazoo which causes his voice to summon a bunch of grubs to the surface, providing the Gumbles with a feast. Unfortunately, it also ends up summoning giant grubs that chase them down. In "Berry Grubfest", Willi manages to ruin the specific conditions of the furnace set up by Happi in an attempt to help out, causing the tiny flame to go out and putting the Gumbletree at risk of freezing and being attacked by Bottersnikes due to the moat freezing as well. In "Gumble Pie", Tink makes a dummy out of sack fabric to get out of lookout duty. The Snikes then kidnap the dummy with Bounce and Willi going after them, leading to them getting captured and forcing Tink to rescue them. Both Bounce and Willi are quite cross with him when they find out, especially after witnessing what they thought was Tink's "death" when they saw King Snike devour the dummy. | |

World of Funny Animals | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_8341ccb1 | comment |
World of Funny Animals: The setting is populated by Bottersnikes and Gumbles (neither of which closely resembles any particular animal species), along with the occasional grubs and other various critters. There are no humans around but they do seem to exist outside of the show's scope, especially with the presence of man-made objects, and the closest it gets to featuring a human character is a talking doll shaped like one. | |

Living Dream: Smiggles has the ability to have creatures from his dreams come to life when he's asleep. It's a major plot point in several episodes, such as "Burples" where he dreams of a giant baby Bottersnike that hatches from an equally giant egg and befriends the Gumbles. | |

Wham Episode | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: "Toot On Duty" plays out like the show usually does, but with an unique addition not seen in any other episode: the opportunity to hear Toot's thoughts. Also unlike other episodes which rely on comedy and silliness, this one portrays the idea that Toot doesn't have an outlook on life that is as positive as those of the other Gumbles and also brings out a bleaker tone, revealing the reason behind his fearful disposition. "Where's Willi?" revolves around Willi discovering old Gumbledex cards about a Gumble with supposedly no name and trying to find out more about him when he finds that some of the Gumbledex cards depicting him are missing. As a result, he goes to ask Happi about it, hoping to find out more about the unnamed Gumble since Happi is considered the wisest of the bunch and would probably be happy to tell all about it as he does with other famous Gumbles. However, a slightly more serious tone sets in when Happi refuses to say anything on the matter - and from there few if any further details are revealed, suggesting that everything about the unnamed Gumble is being intentionally obscured for unknown reasons. | |

Fountain of Youth: "Happi Go Lucky" revolves around Happi consuming juice made out of aptly named "youngerberries" that makes him feel young again. Because it has made him more lively, Tink starts encouraging him to be extreme (i.e. reckless) and keep drinking the juice until Happi eventually regresses into a full-on toddler. | |

In "Where's Willi?", Willi asks Toot about an unnamed Gumble who tried and failed to unite Bottersnikes and Gumbles as described in old, unregistered Gumbledex cards found in a tin, but Toot gets unusually nervous and refuses to have any discussion about it and quickly walks away afterwards, before Happi comes and also refuses to tell anything about the unnamed Gumble or the cards - which is suspicious considering Happi usually likes to share knowledge about famed Gumbles. Toot happens to be the unnamed Gumble, at least from the various hints dropped throughout the episode. | |

Foreshadowing: In "Where's Willi?", Willi discovers old Gumbledex cards about a brave, unnamed Gumble who was imprisoned deep underground by the Bottersnikes when he attempted to make peace with them. During the sequence showing the cards in animated form, the Gumble in question resembles and later turns out to be the now fearful Toot. In "Gumble Rally", when all Gumbles playing the titular Gumble Rally game are unknowingly heading towards Bottersnikes, Happi exclaims that he and Toot have to warn them, only for Toot to hesitate to which Happi replies with "I know, Toot, I know". The episode after this one, "Toot On Duty", reveals not only Toot's strong fear of Bottersnikes but also the reason behind it. | |

Status Quo Is God: Defied and enforced in "King Prisoner". Tink shrinks King Snike down by getting him wet and tries all he can to make him "have fun" in a desperate attempt to get him to stop his mean behavior and get on better terms with the Gumbles, but all it does is piss him off. In "This Means Peace", Tink and Glob get stuck together and must cooperate to get free. At the end they decide to become friends after one of them says they don't remember why they're enemies, but their friendship is short-lived as they end up accidentally insulting each other which then escalates into a fight before the two part ways. | |

Getting Eaten Is Harmless | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_c1944f9 | comment |
Getting Eaten Is Harmless: What helped Toot to survive when he found himself in King Snike's belly - justified because Gumbles are hard to digest. The episode "The Pied Tooter" has one Bottersnike suggest that a Gumble covered in grub saliva becomes digestible, ultimately negating the trope in that case. In "Gumble Pie", Bounce and Willi see Tink getting "eaten" by King Snike (in reality, he ate a dummy made to look like Tink to skip lookout duty). Despite Toot having previously survived that himself, when Bounce and Willi learn Tink is alive and well (along with the fact he shirked work), Bounce's response quite vividly implies that getting eaten means being killed. | |

Our Werewolves Are Different: A Gumble that eats a blue grub during the night of an orange moon transforms into a large, feral version of themself that actively hunts for Bottersnikes and resumes their normal form as soon as they're no longer exposed to the moon. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: When Tink attempts to drive over Snike Hill at full speed to escape the Bottersnikes pursuing him and his friends (after stealing their magnet), Bounce is quick to warn him that they will either die or get seriously injured. Luckily, neither happens. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Toot has one, in form of an exceptional incident with the Bottersnikes that left him absolutely terrified of them. An episode late in the series also subtly reveals that he was once a bold, daring Gumble who tried to befriend the Bottersnikes. | |

Pet the Dog | |
Bottersnikes and Gumbles / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: King Snike is usually quite grumpy and condescending towards the other Bottersnikes, but in "Gumble Magnetism", he has a moment of treating a fellow Snike nicely for doing something the king liked (which was leading him and his troop to a stash of rotting mattress stuffing). He straight up gives Smiggles scratches on his head, and the latter clearly enjoys it. | |
