comment
Headlined by one of the most fetching females in animation, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop was one of two animated series spun off from Wacky Races (the other being Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines). Implied to be set between 1911 and 1930, the series was strongly influenced by The Perils of Pauline, a silent movie serial.The heiress Penelope, a classic Damsel in Distress, was the ward of Sylvester Sneekly. Unknown to her, Once per Episode Sneekly assumed the identity of the Hooded Claw. With the aid of his identical twin henchmen, the Bully Brothers, the Hooded Claw caught Penelope in one Death Trap after another, in hope of taking over her inheritance. Invariably, the Hooded Claw would explain his trap in detail to Penelope.Although she often escaped the Hooded Claw's traps on her own, Penelope had friends in her fellow Wacky Racers, the Ant Hill Mob, a group of seven little men whose car, Chugga-Boom, may have been a prototype for Speed Buggy. The Interactive Narrator was also on her side, providing advice and encouragement. Frequently, after the Mob rescued Penelope, she had to rescue them from an unintended consequence of their heroics.The show's voice talent comprised Janet Waldo as Penelope; Paul Lynde (uncredited) as the Hooded Claw; Gary Owens as the Narrator; Don Messick as Dum-Dum, Snoozy, Pockets, and Zippy; Paul Winchell as Clyde and Softy, and Mel Blanc as Yak Yak, Chugga-Boom, and the Bully Brothers.

comment
Jekyll & Hyde: In "London Town Treachery", The Hooded Claw rented a house from Jekyll and Hyde as part of a plan to capture Penelope, inviting her and the Ant Hill Mob for tea while disguised as the Earl of Krumpet. After realizing there was no tea there, he improvised with some random ingredients. He planned to have the Bully Brothers capture Penelope while he distracted the Ant Hill Mob with the tea. However, the tea turned them into seven "Mr. Hydes" and they captured Penelope. To get their Sentient Vehicle Chugaboom to cooperate, they gave him some of the "tea" and he also became a "Mr. Hyde". It's then up to the Bully Brothers to rescue Penelope, but only so they can keep their usual job of capturing Penelope under the Claw's orders.

Broken Lever of Doom: In the episode "The Diabolical Department Store Danger", the elevator brake lever, which the Hooded Claw had sabotaged, snaps when Penelope pulls it. The Bully Brothers had also placed a rocket under the elevator, sending it and Penelope toward the roof at high speed.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 The Perils of Penelope Pitstop / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Despite the lightheartedness of the show in general, the whole premise centered on the Hooded Claw's attempts to kill Penelope, more often than not in quite nasty and juicy ways like mummifying her alive, impaling her on a harpoon, or feeding her to crocodiles. Naturally these always failed however and the worst violence inflected throughout the show was Amusing Injuries.

comment
Adaptation Expansion: The Ant Hill Mob is much more fleshed-out than in Wacky Races. In Races, Clyde and Dum-Dum were the only ones who ever spoke, with the other five being blank slates who merely do Clyde's bidding. Here, the other five are given fleshed-out, unique personalities that make them stand out from each other (though Snoozy and Pockets didn't speak as often as the others did).

Conveyor Belt o' Doom: Penelope would sometimes be on a conveyor belt leading her to her doom. One instance had the Hooded Claw try to make fortune cookies out of her in "Bad Fortune in a Chinese Fortune Cookie". Another had him try to make her into saltwater taffy in "The Boardwalk Booby Trap".

 The Perils of Penelope Pitstop / int_3437ee2c
comment
Inheritance Murder: The Hooded Claw's reason for routinely trying to terminate Penelope is that his alternate identity is Sylvester Sneekly, who would be executor to her estate. This explains why the Hooded Claw uses the Conveyor Belt o' Doom and similar mechanisms to dispose of his victim: it allows him to be seen elsewhere as Sneekly, thus allaying suspicion.

Wide-Eyed Idealist
 The Perils of Penelope Pitstop / int_3ed17fe0
comment
Wide-Eyed Idealist: Penelope would never believe that her guardian, Sneekly, was the Hooded Claw, even after she pointed out many times that they look just alike. In "Big Top Trap", Sneekly actually revealed to her that he was the Hooded Claw and she still didn't believe it! Upon seeing the episode again, one can see that Sneekly saved his butt by assuming his normal identity and volunteering his time at the circus as a quick-change artist. His getting up as the Hooded Claw was just him showing a sample to Penelope, again to cover himself. Penelope idealistically doesn't believe Sneekly would stoop to that level. Little does she know. Just to show how much of an idealist she is, she knows the Hooded Claw is "also" a quick-change artist, meaning she believes Sneekly and the Claw are two of that kind of artist instead of only one.

Adaptational Heroism: The Ant Hill Mob, in stark contrast to their Wacky Races counterparts, are clearly on the side of good, being Penelope's benefactors; they are no longer prone to shooting and deceiving those they see as opposition, which made them more in line with Ambiguously Evil.

Smart Ball: Though Penelope predictably got rescued by the Ant Hill Mob a lot, there are many instances she rescues herself (or at least tries to) or a role reversal happens where she has to save her protectors. Naturally this also applies to any of the instances Dum-Dum thinks up a way to save Penelope or the rest of the mob as well.

Characterization Marches On: May be a little odd for Wacky Races fans seeing Penelope and the Ant Hill Mob as devoted allies (especially the aforementioned instance where the Mob try to use dirty tactics on Penelope). Races did have an episode where six Mob members accidentally got jettisoned from the car, so they hitched a ride. Penelope gave them a lift to their car, for which Ring-a-Ding politely thanked her.

Heel–Face Turn: The Bully Brothers in the series finale, "London Town Treachery". The Hooded Claw intends to fire them after the Ant Hill Mob — turned into miniature Mr. Hydes from a spiked tea — put Penelope in a peril, leaving the Brothers with no alternative but to try to rescue Penelope. This turns into a subversion in that they only did it so they could keep their jobs of putting Penelope in perils themselves.

Obviously Evil: The Hooded Claw, in spades! He's got a giant nose, a flabby chin, and a lanky body with a walk to match. As Sylvester Sneekly, he has a Horned Hairdo, which indicates his true colors.

Comic-Book Adaptation
 The Perils of Penelope Pitstop / int_7c4f6612
comment
Comic-Book Adaptation: Penelope appeared in four issues of Gold Key Comics' Hanna-Barbera Fun-In and two issues of Golden Comics Digest. The digest stories had Sylvester Sneekly as Penelope's neighbor (she owned a ranch in those stories) instead of her guardian. Only two stories were adapted from TV episodes—"Jungle Jeopardy" (Fun-In #1, as "The Hooded Claw's Sinister Plot") and "The Boardwalk Booby Trap" (Fun-In #4). Of original stories: Fun-In #2 - "The Great Space Chase". Sneekly gets Penelope to volunteer in testing his new rocket powered elevator, but as the Hooded Claw, he sends Penelope into outer space with it. Fun-In #3 - "The Catnapper's Curse." Sneekly sets up Penelope as the thief who stole a rich widow's prized pet cat. Digest #7 - "The Hooded Claw Caper." The Claw tries to acquire Penelope's ranch after gold nuggets are discovered on it. Digest #11 - "The Treasure Trail." Penelope discovers valuable antique wares discarded by pioneers buried on her ranch land.

Ambiguous Time Period
 The Perils of Penelope Pitstop / int_7eb2bc15
comment
Ambiguous Time Period: Although the timeframe is never mentioned in the show, it is implied to be set between 1911 and 1930 a.k.a the silent film era as mentioned in the main summary, though a few things stand out referencing the current time it was made in. For example, in "Wild West Peril", the Narrator makes a pun on Rock 'n Roll which didn't exist until the late 1940s or early 1950s. Also, in "Tall Timber Treachery", Penelope is heard dancing to typical "groovy" 1960s music you'd hear in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!.

Solar-Powered Magnifying Glass: In "Hair-Raising Harness Race", while Penelope is trapped in a shed filled with explosives, the Hooded Claw has the Ant Hill Mob bound with a rope and hanging from a tree limb. A magnifying glass is set so that the sun's rays will burn the rope and send the mob plummeting into a deep chasm.

comment
Creepy Crossdresser: In "Cross Country Double Cross", the Hooded Claw dresses as an old woman to trick Penelope into giving him a ride on her motor scooter. In "Hair Raising Harness Race" and "Big Top Trap", he impersonates Penelope herself. He also wears a curled wig to disguise himself as Juliet in the Tunnel of Love in "Carnival Calamity". One scene in "Big Bagdad Danger" has the Bully Brothers dressed as maidservants when leading Penelope to a trap. "Cross-Country Double Cross" also has a scene where one of the Bully Brothers dresses in drag to pose as a nurse.

comment
Chained to a Railway: It's even in the opening/closing credits. "The Diabolical Department Store Danger" even has a variation with a toy train set heading towards a string that would send Penelope falling once cut as part of the Hooded Claw's trap. A variant of this was used in "Carnival Calamity", where she was almost run over by a roller coaster.

 The Perils of Penelope Pitstop / int_8b606a51
comment
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The Hooded Claw's traps always consisted of some kind of crazy Rube Goldberg-esque setup that would eventually lead to Penelope's death. More often than not, the Claw would always spend nearly a minute explaining how the trap works, and Penelope often takes advantage of the time it takes for the trap to go into action to save herself.

To Be Continued: On the original CBS run, a teaser for the next episode was presented at the conclusion of the just-aired story followed by a "To be continued next week" announcement and title card. It was retained when the show went into syndication in the late 1970s; it was edited out from Cartoon Network and Boomerang runs as well as from the DVD set. At least two, for "Jungle Jeopardy" and "Big Top Trap", can be found on YouTube.

Faux Affably Evil: The Hooded Claw in spades! As Sylvester Sneekly he puts on the facade of a kind and caring guardian, even as the Hooded Claw he remains calm and composed as he gloats in great detail about how he's gonna kill Penelope, clearly enjoying himself while doing so. And just to rub it in her face, every so often as Sneekly he drops subtle hints to her that he really is the Hooded Claw, and she's none the wiser!

Both times he was rewarded with a kiss from Penelope.

Deadpan Snarker: Clyde often makes sarcastic remarks about the ineptitude of his fellow Ant Hill Mobsters, particularly Dum-Dum's stupidity. The Hooded Claw will often sneer about how easy it is for him to deceive the heroes. Penelope herself can be a little snarky herself (albeit in quite a dignified way), especially during one of her perils.

Ms. Fanservice: Penelope, despite being fully clothed. The closest she really gets to a Fanservice moment is in "Cross Country Double Cross", when she temporarily removes her boots, revealing her bare feet. One would get the idea the creative team had an intense bondage kink, and poor Penelope not too shrewdly demonstrates it.

comment
Mascot Villain: Penelope's nemesis, the Hooded Claw, drives the plot in every case, and he's a Large Ham to boot, which is magnified by having Paul Lynde as his voice actor. Only the Ant Hill Mob gets as much screen time as the Hooded Claw, but their overall competency ranges from barely adequate to horribly hopeless.

Too Dumb to Live
 The Perils of Penelope Pitstop / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Why do you think they call him Dum-Dum? He certainly was the luckiest of the mob. Penelope kissed him twice. And he's only the most pronounced example as all members of the Ant Hill Mob qualify for this. Heck, even the Hooded Claw has had moments of mind-blowing stupidity, like attempting to see if a ball can shake a moving platform that sends to a squashing machine, while standing on it.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: The Hooded Claw's time-activated death traps for Penelope. You'd swear he made it a requirement that Penelope die in only this manner. It seems likely that he is a sadist who can never resist the temptation of playing with his food first.

Shout-Out: From the debut episode, "Jungle Jeopardy": In "Big Bagdad Danger", there's this line from the Hooded Claw after the narrator mentions "ta-tas" and "boo-boos" when telling him that the Anthill Mob is coming to save Penelope: One of the Hooded Claw's disguises is "Charlie Chin", an Expy of Charlie Chan. The Hooded Claw avoids getting arrested in "Game of Peril" by pretending to be an actor named Long Changey, a nod to Lon Chaney.

Melodrama: Parodied. At first glance, this seems like the typical plot of a fragile heroine being kidnapped by a scheming villain, only to be rescued by a dashing hero and living happily ever after. In the actual show, however, the heroes are undignified and usually rather stupid, the heroine takes her kidnappings in stride and is able to save herself plenty of times, and the villain is one the best things about it!

Adaptation Name Change: Dum-Dum was named Ring-A-Ding in Wacky Races. The names of the other Mob members were never mentioned on Wacky Races, but they were labeled on model sheets and publicity drawings. The names of the others on Races apart from Clyde and Ring-a-Ding were Mac, Danny, Rug Bug Benny, Willy and Kirby (Pockets, Yak Yak, Snoozy, Zippy and Softy respectively). Their vehicle in Wacky Races was originally called the "Bulletproof Bomb" and was largely inanimate; on Perils, its name is "Chugga-Boom", and is more anthropomorphic than its Races counterpart.

Never Say "Die": Played with, in that whilst the word is never said, it's very obvious the Hooded Claw is trying to kill Penelope. In fact, it’s almost worse that the Hooded Claw won’t outright say it, because he instead takes the time to describe exactly what’s going to happen to Penelope using words like “punctured�, “shredded� and “popped�.

MacGyvering: The Ant Hill Mob and Penelope frequently thwart the Hooded Claw's death traps by improvising with whatever they can get their hands on.

comment
Master of Disguise: Somewhat subverted. The Hooded Claw can quickly change into any costume needed to lure Penelope into another trap or to blend into the surroundings, and nine-tenths of the time he doesn't even bother covering his face or disguising his voice, yet nobody sees through any of his disguises. His disguises in "Big Top Trap" are more convincing, however.

Brick Joke: At one point in "Hair-Raising Harness Race", the Bully Brothers tell the Hooded Claw that they want to go to Coney Island. At the end of the episode, they ask again if they can go there.
