| Heckle and Jeckle | comment |
A classic series of Terrytoons cartoons, starring two identical wisecracking magpies, Heckle and Jeckle. One has a British accent, the other a New York one, and they are fast friends who are able to overcome foes by outwitting them, breaking the rules, and generally having fun at other people's expense.Many characters on other shows are known to enjoy watching Heckle and Jeckle, including Fonzie, Lenny and Squiggy, and Jack, while imprisoned by the Others.Together with the rest of the classic Terrytoons package, Heckle and Jeckle haven't been seen much on television lately, their last appearance in animation being Curbside, an unsuccessful pilot for an Animated Anthology series centered on Terrytoons characters that had the framing device of Heckle and Jeckle hosting a talk show, with Heckle voiced by Toby Huss and Jeckle voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait. | |

| Heckle and Jeckle / int_15b09af9 | comment |
Heel–Face Door-Slam: In "Sappy New Year." The boys sign a pledge to give up practical jokes as a New Year's resolution, but when their attempts to do good deeds are misinterpreted as mischief, Heckle starts to revert back. | |

Inexplicably Identical Individuals | |
| Heckle and Jeckle / int_15f76026 | comment |
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Heckle and Jeckle look similar to the point of being mistaken for twin brothers by viewers. Even in earlier episodes where Jeckle didn't have a British accent, the only way to tell them apart is to listen to them speak, with Jeckle's voice usually sounding higher than Heckle's. This also extends to other magpies making appearances who all essentially look like clones of Heckle or Jeckle. | |

Carnivore Confusion: At least two cartoons, "The Stowaways" and "The Rainmakers", depict Heckle and Jeckle having eaten a roast chicken.note Note that in real life, magpies are known to prey on the chicks of other birds too. | |

Elevator Gag | |
| Heckle and Jeckle / int_2a44ebfa | comment |
Elevator Gag: In "Pill Peddlers", Chesty chases the pair into an elevator car, then goes after them in another. From outside the window, the elevators are shown moving every which way. Heckle and Jeckle then take their car so far down it opens into Fire and Brimstone Hell ("Oops! Too low!"), and as they go up again, they crash into Chesty's car, breaking the skyscraper in two. The three fall on an empty lot, Chesty still holding the lever and calling out "Second floor, women's wear, stockings, girdles, garter belts..." | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Heckle and Jeckle / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first cartoon listed, "The Talking Magpies," was actually a Farmer Al Falfa cartoon. The two magpies shown at the start are a married couple whose squabbling over their nest disturbs Al Falfa and his dog (an early version of Dimwit). As Heckle and Jeckle took their more known forms in "The Uninvited Pests," they were voiced by Syd Raymond (Jeckle's voice wasn't the familiar British accent; that would come when Dayton Allen took over as the birds' voices). | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Heckle and Jeckle / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: As much of con artists, vagabonds and reprobates they were depicted as, Heckle and Jeckle could also use their wiles to combat bad guys. "Blue Plate Symphony," "Sno Fun" and "Hair Cut-Ups" are good examples. "Hair Cut-Ups" had them as barbers in the old west facing the outlaw Dangerous Dan. As noted in verse three of the cartoon's song: | |

Medium Awareness | |
| Heckle and Jeckle / int_884e513b | comment |
Medium Awareness: In the short, "The Power of Thought", Heckle and Jeckle realize they're cartoons, and that being aware of the medium they can manipulate the medium any way they see fit (one of them turns himself into a mouse and then a dog to prove it). They proceed to harass an anthropomorphic policeman dog with their newfound powers, but eventually the dog gets the upper hand, Breaking the Fourth Wall to tell the audience that he's realized he's also a cartoon character and has the same powers. | |
