Within a few years, Columbia Pictures decided there was money in an Animated Series based on the supernatural comedy Ghostbusters (1984) and the further adventures of its four paranormal investigators. Columbia partnered with DIC Entertainment to make it happen.The problem was that there was already a Filmation cartoon in development called Ghostbusters, a sequel to the 1975 live-action series The Ghost Busters about a pair of noir-style detectives (and their gorilla?) who battle supernatural forces. Filmation's Ghostbusters was a flop, the victim of mistiming: kids were upset that these guys weren't the 'real' Ghostbusters. In response, DiC launched The Real Ghostbusters, both to distinguish it from the Filmation property and to imply that the Filmation Ghostbusters were phonies. The two animated series debuted in the same year, furthering the confusion.The main characters from the film (with the notable exception of Sigourney Weaver's character) are all present. To get around having to buy the rights to Bill Murray's likeness et al., the mortal characters are each given new faces: Egon has a spectacular blond pompadour, Ray is a stocky redhead, Winston is clean-shaven, and Venkman is overhauled to make him into a devilishly handsome twenty-something instead of a middle-aged, balding Bill Murray. Janine's April O'Neil-esque makeover was so steamy, her hair color, makeup, and hipper clothes were incorporated into the live-action Ghostbusters II. Aside from their new color-coded uniforms and slightly-redesigned equipment (their old ones were damaged in the fight with Gozer), the team retain their personalities, at least in the beginning. Slimer, the unintelligible green ghost who "slimed" Venkman in the first film,note His original nickname in the first movie was "Onionhead". was included in the regular cast as a comic relief Non-Human Sidekick.The cartoon focuses on the day-to-day busting that the movie relegated to a montage in the manner of a Police Procedural; there is no over-arching villain or hint of larger forces at work, although some of the ghosts come back for a second try. Not all the ghosts and other supernatural entities are evil: On occasion, the heroes "bust" the ghosts simply by helping them complete their Unfinished Business, while others enlist the Ghostbusters' help or actually want to be busted, as the Ghostbusters' containment unit approximates 'resting in peace' enough to satisfy them.Voice actors include Lorenzo Music as Venkman, Dave Coulier as Venkman in later seasons, Arsenio Hall as Winston, and Maurice LaMarche as Egon, Frank Welker (as Ray and Slimer), and Laura Summer as Janine (in early seasons), eventually replaced by Kath Soucie. The writers included J. Michael Straczynski, David Gerrold, Bob Schooley, and Mark Mc Corkle.Despite the mega-success of its first few seasons, things began to fall apart during the build-up to Ghostbusters II. Thanks to invoked Executive Meddling, the cartoon was renamed Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters (executives had fallen in love with the cuddly cartoon version of Slimer) and the show's horror was downplayed and replaced by slapstick humor, while Janine's appearance and personality were softened. Later episodes would incorporate trappings from the second movie, including the Mayor's injunction against the team. Louis Tully returned as a supporting character at this time.Data East released an arcade game based on the show in 1987, and Activision published a Game Boy version in '93. Funnily enough, both games were dolled-up installments.In 1997 it received a Sequel Series, Extreme Ghostbusters, with a new team and Egon as their mentor.Starting in February 2021, the series was uploaded to the official Ghostbusters YouTube channel.

Forceful Kiss: Slimer likes giving these to Janine - naturally, since it leaves her mouth covered in ectoplasm, she’s less than enthused. It’s enough of a Running Gag that it features in the first opening.

No Celebrities Were Harmed
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: The Ghostbusters encountered stand-ins for celebrities ranging from Walt Disney to Agatha Christie to Casey Jones to Harry Houdini. Some of them were ghosts who needed the boys' help to complete their Unfinished Business, while others were innocent victims who needed to be rescued. Unlike others in the cast, Maurice LaMarche was purposefully impersonating Harold Ramis. He was actually asked not to during his audition, but LaMarche couldn't think of any other appropriate way to do it. Fortunately, casting liked what they heard and hired him. Dave Coulier's Peter was his Bill Murray impersonation from his act.

Mistaken for Own Murderer: In "Poultrygeist", when a woman named Maude turns into a "were-chicken", her husband believes it ate her. Later, she lays an egg, which hatches into another were-chicken, which bites Egon and he turns into a third were-chicken, causing Peter to think Egon was eaten.

Artistic License – Linguistics
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_12f078f3
comment
Artistic License – Linguistics: The ghost of Halloween, Samhain, has his name pronounced "Sam-hain" rather than the proper Gaelic pronunciation "Sah-win". This would seem to be a case of Sadly Mythtaken (i.e. a pagan holiday being demonized for a Christian audience) except that the imagery (jack-o'-lantern head) and overall personality (Dark Is Evil) have more in common with the modern-day conception of Halloween as a dark, scary, sinister holiday (when it isn't all about parties and candy) than as a pagan holiday in honor of the dead and the ending of the year. So the mispronunciation may be intentional--because this is the ghost of what people have come to associate with Halloween, rather than its original meaning. On the other hand, the later installments of the Halloween film franchise did the exact same thing and the writers may have been using that as a reference. This pronunciation is also used in Supernatural.

Arbitrary Skepticism
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_13eea985
comment
Arbitrary Skepticism: Played with. Non-regulars will sometimes express disbelief in the supernatural, only to be quickly proven wrong. However, there are times where the Ghostbusters fall victim to this. In "Poultrygeist," Peter initially dismisses the idea of a werechicken - after having already encountered bonafide werewolves. They all four fall victim to this in "If I Were a Witch Man." Peter and Slimer laugh when Winston asks about them doing witches and goblins, and Egon actually goes on a rant in Ecto about them selling out their principles. In "The Boogieman Cometh" Venkman states he can get behind the idea of ghosts, but not the Boogieman. He is later proven wrong. In "The Scaring of the Green," Egon finds the notion of a Four-Leaf Clover providing luck absurd, as opposed to ghosts, monsters, ancient curses or magic. In "The Cabinet of Calamari", Egon dismisses the concept of magic. Seriously now, Egon. In "The Ghostbusters Live! From Al Capone's Tomb", not only does the "Egon not believing in magic" thing show up again, but the civilians don't believe in the Netherworld despite clearly seeing Slimer.

Foul Medicine: In "Ghost World", Egon catches a cold, and his mother tries to cure him by feeding him an old remedy from her husband's side of the family. The remedy is a blend of chicken soup, orange juice, tea, prune juice, and garlic. When Egon drinks it, he jokes that he's lucky to have survived it, and when Peter, Ray, Winston, and Slimer catch his cold, she tries to make more of it for them.

Blind Without 'Em: Egon in "Scaring of the Green" after a lion knocks off his specs. Also seen in "If I Were a Witch Man" when one of Kestrel's Demons steals his glasses It appears that It Runs in the Family. Egon's uncle Cyrus was similarly blind without his glasses, which became a problem since he didn't believe in ghosts, and his glasses broke during a Bust where the gang were trying to convince him they were real.

Genre Savvy: The Ghostbusters, natch, but not always enough to avoid close calls. In "No One Comes to Lupusville," when told they don't know if proton packs will work on vampires, Winston wants to leave. "I've seen enough movies to know you don't face vampires without knowing what you're doing, and we don't." The promise of a hefty payment causes him to ignore his better judgment.

On One Condition: In The Haunting of Heck House the Ghostbusters stood to inherit millions of dollars as long as they stay in the most haunted house on Earth for a night—without their proton packs. To defeat the house they have to use the wiring inside to turn it into one big ghost trap. Unfortunately the house is SO haunted that spiritual energy takes up most of the structure, so it collapses in on itself and they're forced to leave it or be crushed inside. Sadly, the lawyer sees this before time runs out, and is forced by the will to deny them the cash since there was no self-preservation escape clause provided in the will; they HAD to stay in the house even if doing so killed them.

Adaptational Friendship
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_1b48011d
comment
Adaptational Friendship: In the movie, Winston only worked with the other Ghostbusters simply for the money. Here, he's just as much as their best friend as they are to each other. In the movie, Janine didn't see her employers as friends in any way, except Egon, on whom she had a crush. In the cartoon, while she's still a bit unamused to their antics, she still sees them as her friends, and in fact, in "Janine, You've Changed", they're said to love her. Overlapping with Adaptational Heroism, in the movie, Slimer was just a nuisance and was trapped by the Ghostbusters. Here, he's their pet and while he does annoy them sometimes (especially Peter), they also see him as a beloved pet (especially Ray). This includes Janine, who, in the movie, never even met him. Justified by the episode "Citizen Ghost", a Whole Episode Flashback that explains, by means of an interview Peter is giving to a reporter, how the team decided to let Slimer stay with them after he helped them defeat some spectral copies of themselves.

Deal with the Devil
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: "Chicken, He Clucked" features a man who hates chickens so much that he wants to make a deal with a demon to get rid of them. Embarrassed by being summoned for such a silly request, the demon gives him the power to send anything away as a compromise. Soon, every chicken on Earth is sent to another dimension and (after annoying the man) so are the Ghostbusters. The demon agrees to help the Ghostbusters, though, because his colleagues found out about the deal and won't stop mocking him. The demon reveals a loophole that the Ghostbusters manage to exploit to cancel the deal. Done by accident by Ray and Winston in "The Devil to Pay" where they unknowingly sign a contract that had them soul-bound to take part in a demon's game show where they have to play for their lives. They win, but the demon tries to pull a fast one—leaving them to die in the final challenge. After escaping, Peter threatens bodily harm to the demon host to give them the all-expense-paid trip for four to Tahiti he promised them, which he had no choice but to grant.

Ambiguously Human: In "Nobody Comes to Lupusville", pretty much any resident of the eponymous Lupusville who is neither a vampire nor a werewolf is this — most of them are either ridiculously small, or big, leaving it unclear whether they're just oddly-sized humans, or dwarfs and giants. In "Ain't NASA-Sarily So", the NASA people keep mentioning an old science officer who had Pointy Ears, in reference to Star Trek: The Original Series, which had someone of that description named Spock. Spock was half-alien, but the show generally doesn't deal with aliens.

Your Mind Makes It Real: In "Elementary, My Dear Winston," Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson and Moriarty appear as ghost-like beings even though they weren't real people. Egon theorizes that the sheer and consistent belief of fans all over the world enabled this. Cartoonist Walt Fleischman not only unwittingly brings his cartoon characters to life, he becomes trapped in their world. His villains kidnap him, and when the Ghostbusters enter the world to save him they recruit his heroes to help them.

Adaptation Expansion: Compared to the films, we actually got more of a look into the personalities and histories of the main cast, as well as some actual character development for one-time characters. Ernie Hudson expressed dismay that while his live-action Zeddmore was a Token Minority, the Winston in the animated series had real Character Development.

Baseball Episode: "Night Game." Good and evil spirits always do battle on a specific area of land on a certain anniversary. Finding a baseball field there this time, they agree to play baseball. As he was there upon their arrival, Winston gets to play short-stop for the good team. The stakes are for the fate of one human soul: Peter's.

Cardboard Prison
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_251bce7c
comment
Cardboard Prison: Generally averted, as the Containment Unit was actually pretty secure. When a ghost did manage to escape, it was usually because another ghost opened the Unit from the outside to let them out. A few episodes centered around various ghosts and demons trying to open the Unit to free all the captive spirits (such as "Mrs. Rogers' Neighborhood"), while on a few occasions Egon or Slimer would actually go into the Unit to retrieve another ghost they actually wanted to free. It's mentioned that after the Gozer incident they upgraded the containment unit to be larger (in the movie it was mounted on the wall while here it takes up most of the basement) and more resilient. The threat of the containment unit shutting down, on the other hand, cropped up several times - like where the city power grid and the containment unit's backup generator became possessed, leading Peter to quickly improvise a backup backup generator made from a bike, and Ecto 1's generator, with Janine pedaling for dear life (and being forgotten about at the end of the episode). There are also indications that the guys learn from past mistakes. In "Halloween 2½", two goblins are able to open up the Containment Unit within moments of trying. In "Elementary, My Dear Winston," we see a mechanism has been installed to force a time delay to give the guys time to get down there to halt the process.

Mythology Gag: "Egon's Ghost," "The Copycat" and "Jailbusters" feature terror dogs similar to Zuul. In "Buster the Ghost," as in the first movie, the guys' TV commercial ends with them saying, "We're ready to believe you." "I Am the City" recalls a memorable moment from the first movie (though uses Peter instead of Ray): The episode "Partners in Slime" featured an appearance by the mood slime from the second movie, albeit colored yellow instead of pink. However, the slime turned pink like it was in the film at the end of the episode.

Disappeared Dad: Peter's dad apparently spent more time on his cons than being at home with the family. It's a sore point for Peter, especially in "X-Mas Marks the Spot." Winston was also found to suffer this. He and his father had a falling out when he became a Ghostbuster rather than stay in construction. The two did patch things up on-screen, though. It's curious that Egon's mother appears in two episodes, but there's never any mention made of his father.

Halloween Episode
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_297170d3

Halloween Episode: Four examples: "When Halloween Was Forever": A pair of ghosts free Samhain, the Spirit of Halloween, whose goal is to create a permanent Halloween night. "Halloween 2½": Samhain is freed from the Containment Unit and tries to again achieve his goal, while also seeking revenge against the Ghostbusters. The Slimer! short "Sweet Revenge": Slimer plans to go trick-or-treating with his friend Fred the Dog, having to watch out for his nemesis Professor Dweeb attempting to capture him as usual as well as Goolem and Zugg seeking revenge against the spud for sending them to the South Pole. "The Halloween Door": Seeking to end Halloween forever, a Moral Guardian steals Ghostbuster tech to use for his machine. Doing so, however, breaks an ancient, ghostly contract—allowing hordes of supernatural terrors to invade New York City. The only one not to feature Samhain, a choice on JMS's part owing to the previously mentioned Author Tract.

Limited Wardrobe: Surprisingly averted. The show focused on their job, so the boys were often in uniform, but they were often shown out of uniform as well, and appeared in multiple different outfits, both formal and casual. They were even shown to own multiple pairs of pyjamas. Janine (at least initially) had a realistically varied wardrobe, and would make an attempt to dress properly for the occasion (saving her tank top/mini skirt combo for regular days at the office, perhaps in an attempt to impress Egon, and dressing more conservatively when she has to say, visit the boys in the hospital or have dinner with her family).

Potty Emergency: Slimer has two potty emergencies in "Camping It Up". The first happens when the Ghostbusters start driving to the campsite, which has the Ghostbusters chide him for not going before they left. The second happens a little while after they've set up camp and has Winston inform Slimer that he'll have to go behind a tree. Slimer has to go to the bathroom when the Ghostbusters return from their vacation in "Guess What's Coming To Dinner", his suffering exacerbated when the Ghostbusters find that the lock to the front door of the Firehouse has been changed by a family of ghosts moving in.

We Help the Helpless
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_2d9e89f7
comment
We Help the Helpless: The Ghostbusters' clients have included everyone from elderly women who live alone to families and business owners to Detroit auto companies and the French government. Though they operated a business and were often paid, the Ghostbusters would just as often have cases without any chance of payment. When Mrs. Faversham (a woman that reminds him of his mother) explains she doesn't have much money to pay them, Peter says the only payment they require is a smile. Averted in "Xmas Marks the Spot", when Ebenezer Scrooge refuses to pay the Ghostbusting bill, Peter actually threatens to release the ghosts again. Sure, its Scrooge, but he's still an elderly man plus they didn't know it was him and it was Christmas. The Ghostbusters not knowing it was him actually worked in his favor, if we consider what they did once they learned. In "The Boogieman Cometh," two kids terrified of the Boogieman want to hire the guys and offer up their piggybank. Peter shakes it and only hears loose change, but he says it qualifies for their new rate. Basically anything that could potentially lead to the end of the world, the Ghostbusters will resolve regardless of payment, such as in "Ragnarok n' Roll" and "You Can't Take It With You".

When the show changed after the first ABC season and Syndicated episodes, Slimer began speaking full sentences intelligently.

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: In "Standing Room Only," because it never occurs to Peter Venkman to take notes or draw up plans for your invention.

Shared Family Quirks: Peter's father is a Con Man, and while Peter himself isn't usually a con man, he has scammed people in the past. Egon's uncle Cyrus is a scientist like him, and apparently there have been other scientists in the family tree. Egon also has an ancestor named Zedekiah who had experience with the supernatural (accidentally creating a dragon) while Egon himself is a ghost hunter.)

"Janine, You've Changed" is packed with it for Egon and Janine. This crops up a little earlier as well (carrying forward what was in the original movie) but that episode stops just short of making them an Official Couple. It was even the last episode JMS wrote for the show, and you have to wonder if he was trying to give longtime fans some payoff...

Awful Truth: Averted when Egon reveals he discovered just how many ghosts there are in Heck House; instead of saying something like You Do Not Want To Know, he has no qualms whatsoever about relaying information that would terrify anyone in their right mind. On the upside, it did get a terrified Slimer to stop clinging to Peter's leg.

We Will Meet Again: The Ghostmaster vows to get even with the Ghostbusters at the end of "Short Stuff" after they capture all of the ghosts he sent to catch them. The Slimer! short "The Dirty Half-Dozen" ends with Goolem and Zugg being sent back to the South Pole, with both ghosts promising that they'll get even with Slimer the next time they return to New York. At the end of "Slimer Streak", the Player states that the Ghostbusters have won this time, but he'll be back to play another game with them. Unlike the Ghostmaster, Goolem, and Zugg, the Player never appeared again in spite of promising his revenge.

Actor Allusion
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Peter's love-hate relationship with Slimer is very similar to Garfield's relationship with Odie. Both Peter and Garfield are voiced by Lorenzo Music. In "Victor the Happy Ghost," Peter refers to The Bob Newhart Show as his favorite TV show. Lorenzo Music co-created the series. The episode "Ghostbuster of the Year" (a Whole-Plot Reference to Citizen Kane) seems to have been produced solely to showcase Maurice LaMarche's impersonation of Orson Welles (which he would later put to good use as The Brain). In "A Fright at the Opera", before the Diva selects Peter as her bodyguard, she states "I hate Mondays". Lorenzo Music's (Peter's voice actor) most famous role, Garfield, also has a distaste for that particular day. In "Kitty-Cornered", one of Slimer's wishes results in a shape-shifting toy robot called a Transmogrifier being brought to life, with Ray Stantz gushing over how cool it is. Ray Stantz and Slimer were both voiced by Frank Welker, who voiced Megatron, Soundwave, Wheelie, and others in The Transformers.

Bad Boss: Plenty of ghostly and demonic overlords viciously oppress their followers. Then there's Mr. Tummel from "You Can't Take It With You", a human tycoon who wants to use a transportation beam to send his fortune to the afterlife ahead of him. He gleefully reneges on his promise to not use his device if there are any side effects and has the scientist who created it thrown out the front door. Later, the Ghostbusters find Tummel's butler, gardener, and French chef locked in a closet, and they reveal that Tummel is planning to send them through the portal against their will so they can continue serving him.

Adaptational Heroism
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_3f45f1e6

Overlapping with Adaptational Heroism, in the movie, Slimer was just a nuisance and was trapped by the Ghostbusters. Here, he's their pet and while he does annoy them sometimes (especially Peter), they also see him as a beloved pet (especially Ray). This includes Janine, who, in the movie, never even met him. Justified by the episode "Citizen Ghost", a Whole Episode Flashback that explains, by means of an interview Peter is giving to a reporter, how the team decided to let Slimer stay with them after he helped them defeat some spectral copies of themselves.

Bittersweet Ending: "Drool, the Dog-Faced Goblin" (where the Ghostbusters are forced to capture Drool along with the shape-shifting phantom, but they and Madame LaFarge take consolation in the fact that Drool will likely be happy among his own kind in the Containment Unit) and "Egon's Dragon" (where Egon is forced to make the dragon that's imprinted on him go into an eternal slumber, but is relieved to see the dragon sleep peacefully). Also, at the end of "Ghostworld", Egon has recovered from his cold, his coworkers and Slimer are no longer possessed, and the ghost who was possessing them has been locked up. On the other hand, the rest of the Ghostbusters, plus Slimer, have now caught Egon's cold.

Superman Substitute: The titular superhero of the episode "Captain Steel Saves the Day" is a rather obvious pastiche of Superman, with his codename a blatant allusion to Supes' nickname the Man of Steel, his costume being colored blue, red and yellow and having a cape, having most of the same powers, a secret identity by the name of Curt Clint being a play on Superman's secret identity as Clark Kent (along with similar means of using only glasses as a disguise) and his archenemy Dr. Destructo being a clear analogue to Lex Luthor, right down to wearing armor that bears a resemblance to what Luthor wore in the comics at the time.

Characterization Marches On: The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. In "Cry Uncle" (and the original intro and the unaired pilot), he's depicted as a malevolent ghost. In all other appearances, he's actually quite benign and acts as an ally twice - considering the guys and Slimer his friends. He doesn't even mind being trapped in the Containment Unit. (The change may be justified and Lampshaded in "The Revenge of Murray the Mantis" by Peter saying, "He's all better now... we think.")

Sealed Evil in a Can
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_485eb589
comment
Sealed Evil in a Can: Quite a few episodes involved the Ghostbusters battling a supernatural being that was imprisoned for years before being recently freed. In "The Boogieman Cometh", the Ghostbusters defeat the Boogieman by using a Ghost Bomb to seal him within his own realm. The Boogieman eventually breaks free in "The Boogieman Is Back" by feeding on Egon's fear after Egon was shaken from nearly falling to his death during a mission. "When Halloween Was Forever" introduced Samhain, pumpkin-headed personification of Halloween, who was trapped in some ancient ruins from Ireland until he was set free by a pair of goblins. Those same goblins later free Samhain from the Containment Unit in "Halloween II 1/2". Janine obtains a magic lamp in "Janine's Genie", the titular genie actually playing Janine for a sap so that he can use her to free the other ghosts imprisoned in the dimension he hails from. "Knock, Knock" had the Doomsday Door, which loosed legions of ghosts and demons on New York City because of some construction workers ignoring the door's warning of "Do not open until Doomsday". The titular creature in "The Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic", who was summoned decades ago by Mrs. Faversham's father and bound to the attic in an attempt to keep the entity from causing any harm. "Apocalypse - - What, Now?" had the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who were sealed inside a book called the Codex of Saint Theopilus until Peter accidentally bought the book at an auction and Janine opened the book after bringing it with her on her lunch break by mistake. The episode "Hard Knight's Day" has Sir Breuse sans Pitie, who was imprisoned within a tapestry by Merlin. "Cold Cash and Hot Water" had Peter Venkman's father and Dr. Bassingame free Hob Anagarak, an ancient demon who was imprisoned in a block of magic black ice. "Moaning Stones" featured The Undying One, a bone demon who was sealed away by the three Moaning Stones of Tangalla and was freed when the stones were united and struck. The antagonist of "It's a Jungle Out There" was an animal demon named Rall, who was imprisoned in a statue of himself. In "The Joke's On Ray", Ray Stantz inherits a joke shop from his uncle Gaylord, which had a trunk containing a pair of mischievous imps among its inventory. "If I Were a Witch Man" had the Ghostbusters summoned by a town called Lewiston to defeat Kestrel, a ghostly witch who was imprisoned in a crystal ball three centuries ago by an ancestor of Egon. "Busters in Toyland" had a greedy demon named Lothgar, who was imprisoned in an enchanted clock and attempted to trick Louis Tully's nephew Lawrence into taking his place. The Containment Unit Mk2 itself qualifies as an example. Over the course of the series its storing away millions of angry ghosts and demons. If it explodes and they escape, the end result won't be pretty. To its credit, it's a significant improvement over the original Mk1, in that it cannot get overcrowded and overflow, but it is still a machine that requires constant repair and maintenance.

This universe was protected by the Peoplebusters, who zapped living humans and trapped them in a "containment unit" that replicated the conditions of our own world. This led to their undoing, as the overwhelming negative energy of the flip side prevented the Ghostbuster's weapons from functioning outside the unit, but when they found a way out and the Peoplebusters gave chase...

"The Halloween Door": Seeking to end Halloween forever, a Moral Guardian steals Ghostbuster tech to use for his machine. Doing so, however, breaks an ancient, ghostly contract—allowing hordes of supernatural terrors to invade New York City. The only one not to feature Samhain, a choice on JMS's part owing to the previously mentioned Author Tract.

Three Shorts
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_4ef0ebb0
comment
Three Shorts: The Slimer! spin-off had either two (7 and 14 minutes each) or three shorts (7 minutes each), with an episode of The Real Ghostbusters sandwiched in between the hour-long block. In season 5, the hour-long block would sometimes feature a 14-minute episode (there were twelve of them total), a full-length one, and a Slimer! cartoon.

Crazy-Prepared: Ecto-1 gets dropped into a body of water with the guys inside, which would be a problem — until they activate the inflatable raft on the bottom of the car which both floats them to the surface and allows them to hydroplane back to dry land. In "The Two Faces of Slimer," after facing off with a troublesome spook, Peter tells the others to utilize "Plan 55-A."

Fat Bastard
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_51300dbf
comment
Fat Bastard: There are several unpleasant and overweight characters on the show. The syndicated episodes occasionally had the Ghostbusters confronted by an obese cop named Lieutenant Frump, who was very mean to them. The episodes "Short Stuff" and "Revenge of the Ghostmaster" featured the Ghostmaster, a tremendously fat and powerful ghost who wishes to destroy the Ghostbusters. The Slimer! shorts frequently had Slimer having to avoid capture by Professor Norman Dweeb, an eccentric scientist who is a little on the chunky side and obsessed with proving he's smarter in the field of paranormal studies than the Ghostbusters. "Partners in Slime" had a morbidly obese gangster ghost named Pozo as the villain, who vaguely resembled Jabba the Hutt in mafia duds.

Foreseeing My Death: In "Future Tense," once Ray is able to convince the rest of the Ghostbusters their new TV can see the future, they plug it in to see what it forecasts next. Unfortunately, the next prediction shows them fighting a water elemental on the firehouse roof in a lightning storm, showing "The End" on screen before dissolving into static. Luckily for them, the water elemental that had been growing like a "supernatural fungus" in their new TV the whole time was Not So Omniscient After All, and the prediction becomes a Self-Defeating Prophecy.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Pretty much everyone in the core cast: Peter Venkman is slimmer, far-younger looking, and has a nicer jawline than Bill Murray. He also has a lush mop of hair, unlike Bill's notcibly receding hairline. Egon Spengler is far more conventionally attractive than Harold Ramis. Winston Zeddmore is younger, slimmer and generally better-looking than Ernie Hudson. Janine Melnitz. While Annie Potts was by no means unattractive, she definitely was not the taller, bustier, redheaded bombshell seen in the series. Notably averted with Ray Stantz. The cartoon counterpart is noticibly heavier, with a round face. Surprising, since Dan was widely considered the best-looking of the bunch.

Genius Loci: In "Egon's Dragon", Egon's ancestor Zedekiah tried to use magic to restore water back to his well in the 1700's, only to summon the spirit of the well, which took the form of a dragon (the term "Genius Loci" is referenced directly). In Zedekiah's case, it was the size of a horse, and was put back to sleep after it started stealing his neighbor's livestock as presents for him. When Egon accidentally awakens it in the current day, it's grown to the size of a house, and is bringing Egon Rolls Royces and cruise ships. Egon ends up a little reluctant to bust the dragon, because he knows it's just trying to impress its "Daddy".

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_5beef860
comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Peter can stare down murderous ghosts, spirits and phantoms without fear, but he will Freak Out at the sight of a cockroach. Egon can stare down Cthulhu and other powerful beings without wincing but the Boogeyman is enough to almost shut him down out of pure fear. While it's true that Egon was tormented by the Boogeyman as a child, there is a serious difference between it and Cthulhu. Egon handled himself very well in facing his childhood fears in "The Boogieman Cometh." He was freezing up in "The Bogeyman is Back," but he was coming off a nearly deadly fall off the World Trade Center. His fear grew because he wouldn't accept it, which Bogey later exploited.

Lightning Can Do Anything: The Ghostbusters' proton beams don't faze Cthulhu at all, but they eventually get the idea to focus their beams on a nearby metal rollercoaster track. The sheer amount of electricity surging through the metal framework is enough to hold Cthulhu in place, attracting the lightning bolts to send him back to his infernal prison, although it's specifically mentioned that they only imprisoned the monster, rather than destroying him.

Missing Mom
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_66dfe36a
comment
Missing Mom: Peter's mother is implied to have died, and he is more serious than usual whenever the subject of her comes up. "The Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic" practically waves on the audience's face that Peter's mom died and he regrets not having spent more time with her when he still had the chance. This leads to a tearjerker ending where Peter returns to Mrs. Faversham's place to visit the old lady, as she is completely alone in the world, just as Peter's mother was before she died.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: In the episodes "Dairy Farm", "The Cabinet of Calamari", "Last Train to Oblivion", "The Man Who Never Reached Home", "Boo-Dunnit", and "Ghostbuster of the Year" end on the ghost being made to pass over to the afterlife instead of being trapped. "The Bird of Kildarby" ended with the ghosts not being trapped or made to pass over, but instead staying (but agreeing to confine their haunting to the night). Similarly, in "Trandscendental Tourists", the Ghostbusters negotiate with the ghosts and allow them to stay in the human world. "Follow That Hearse" had a Hero Antagonist, of a Native American Earth deity who had been transformed into a monster because of pollution. "Xmas Marks the Spot" had No Antagonist; the conflict was about trying to return the ghosts from A Christmas Carol to restore the timeline. In "'Til Death Do Us Part" and "Guess What's Coming to Dinner", the Ghostbusters don't trap the ghosts or make them pass over but instead trick them into going away. The villains of "Chicken, He Clucked", "You Can't Take it With You", and "Ragnarok and Roll" are humans, while most of the show's villains are ghosts or demons. In "Chicken, He Clucked", in fact, a demon asks the Ghostbusters for help in dealing with the human antagonist, while it's the other way round in most episodes. Most of the "Slimer" shorts are just Slimer doing wacky things and avoiding being caught by bumbling villains, however, "Don't Tease the Sleaze" was more similar to an episode of the main show in that involved a group of characters attempting to trap a ghost. Also, "The Dirty Half-Dozen" was a lot higher-stakes than most of the "Slimer" shorts, as it involved the Ghostbusters being kidnapped.

And a Diet Coke: Peter has a ton of junk food in his bed, and one bag of health food chips. Ironically, the "health food" turned out to be anything but, giving all four of the Ghostbusters a severe ghost allergy.

Cosmic Horror Story: An episode entitled "The Collect Call of Cathulhu" [sic] paid an extensive - and surprisingly accurate - homage to the Cthulhu Mythos of H. P. Lovecraft. This was later revisited in the episode "Russian About" where they fight a monster which looks like Yogg'Saron, in the Soviet Union. The entity from "Ragnarok and Roll".

Knight of Cerebus
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_6a47a1e2
comment
Knight of Cerebus: While the show was usually light-hearted in nature, there were many episodes featuring a ghost that was truly sinister, serious, and far more lethal than most threats the boys in gray faced. Notable examples include the Boogieman, who scared the living daylights out of children For the Evulz, and the Grundel, who's M.O. was corrupting kids to transform them into members of his own kind. One example that really stands out, though, is Mee-Krah from the episode "Standing Room Only". The episode in question was from one of the Lighter and Softer later seasons, but Mee-Krah was an Eldritch Abomination that sought to devour every ghost it could find and had caused an alarming swath of destruction before the Ghostbusters succeeded in destroying it.

Threaten All to Find One: In one episode, the Ghostbusters are accidentally signed up for a game show run by a literal demon named Dib Devlin. Naturally, their souls, and lives, are on the line. During one round, Dib puts the Ghostbusters on a roulette wheel and tells them that he knows one of them has a secret, and that he's willing to bet that the person who has that secret is so ashamed of it that he'd let his friends die and take it to his grave, but that the wheel will stop if the person with the secret confesses. Each Ghostbuster confesses something, which Dib says is not the secret, until...

Jerkass Has a Point: On the other hand, as mean as Peter can be towards Slimer, the fact is that Slimer eats every scrap of food he sees without a second thought, up to the point of stealing it out of someone's hands, as well as the fact he gets slime on everything he touches, does make Slimer a rather annoying pet. Despite the fact Slimer is intelligent enough to speak and understand things, he never seems to try to improve his behavior even when acknowledging he crossed the line.

Fanservice: "The Devil In The Deep" took place on an exceptionally hot day, leading Janine to show up to work in a revealing bikini. However none of the gang pay attention to this and talk normally with her as usual. There was also an episode where Janine was in the shower, carefully showing only her face and legs and carefully avoiding the rest. Ghosts begin to bug her and she spends the next few moments running around in nothing but a towel. As the scene ends, Janine walks off screen and the towel is suddenly thrown off as she's out of frame. That's not counting all the times the guys are shown shirtless, in the shower, or even just in their boxers.

Powering Villain Realization
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_7321a355
comment
Powering Villain Realization: In both encounters with the Boogeyman, the demon's nature on feeding on the fear of his victims is turned against him. In his first episode, the Carter kids decide that they aren't going to be afraid of him anymore, casting out such insults as his head is too big and he looks stupid. This allows the Ghostbusters to get past him and temporarily seal him in his own dimension. In his second appearance, a near fatal fall off of the World Trade Center has Egon in a state of primal fear, though he refuses to admit it. This allows the Boogeyman to free himself from his dimension, as Egon was one of the Boogeyman's former victims. But when the Boogeyman decides to go after the Junior Ghostbusters, Egon goes into Papa Wolf mode, his anger and outrage overpowering his fear. He is thus able to free himself and his fellow Ghostbusters from the restraints that the Boogeyman had put them in, and whip up a plan to convert the Boogeyman from demon to ghost so that they could trap him in the Containment Unit once and for all.

Peter wore a pair of pink bunny slippers while suffering from a ghost allergy, though he may have borrowed them from Janine given that he was sleeping in her apartment.

comment
Most any ghost that was previously busted appeared again later in some capacity. Most were barely a threat anymore, perfectly content to sit around and play cards for eternity, and only put up a fuss if an outsider (usually Slimer) encroached on their turf. Some (like Gozer/Stay-Puft) were reformed baddies, perfectly friendly and willing to lend a hand if need be. The Sleaze, a Canon Immigrant from the Slimer! shorts, was neither, and in fact had a brother named Glob who was an even worse Magnificent Bastard than he. Even Obstructive Bureaucrat extraordinaire Walter Peck, who first appeared in the original film, got a callback in "Big Trouble With Little Slimer".

When the guys actually win, Dib gets angry and tries to kill them anyway. The Ghostbusters managed to escape, and Peter threatens physical harm on Dib if he doesn't keep his word of giving them an all-expense paid trip to Tahiti.

Animation Bump: The episodes that are done by TMS Entertainment, notably for Kazuhide Tomonaga's "The Halloween Door". The Slimer segments are also more fluidly animated (if not simplified, design-wise) than the rest of the show. note Interesting fact: the director for those segments went on to do several segments of Tiny Toon Adventures. Some season 2 episodes, such as "Knock Knock" and "Janine Melnitz, Ghostbuster" are of higher quality than others in the season. The Grundle resembled the kind of characters that wouldn't be seen until the late 90s.

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: One of the more character-driven episodes "Ragnarok and Roll" deals with Jeremy, a man angry at the world over breaking up with his girlfriend, Cindy, and vowing to bring about the end of the world. He nearly succeeded as he brought Ragnarok into full swing and the Ghostbusters were unable to stop him. Had Cindy and Jeremy's companion, Dy Tillio, not talked sense into him, the Ghostbusters were ready to detonate their proton packs in an attempt to stop Jeremy and the end of the world.

Every Man Has His Price: When a lawyer arrives at the firehouse with a proposition to "clean up" Heck House, Egon and Ray refuse. Before they can leave, the lawyer stops them in their tracks with just three words. Another more benign example occurs in "Sticky Business" when the heroes are trying to raise money for an orphanage. The president of the company that makes Stay Puft marshmallows asks to borrow Mr. Stay Puft for an advertising campaign, and they don't think it's a good idea... They all change their minds when he says how much he'll pay them. Then there's this exchange in "No-One Comes to Lupusville": In "Loathe Thy Neighbor" the heroes are hesitant to take the Micawbs' case, seeing as the Micawbs are stranger than most of the ghosts they tend to bust. Then Mr. Micawb says that cost is not an option and they'll pay any price; the guys change their mind quickly.

Explosive Instrumentation: Everything from proton packs to PKE meters and calculators, though Egon's Homemade Inventions seemed to be the most volatile. In "Ragnarok and Roll" Egon's PKE meter starts to spark and smoke within a second of scanning a particularly powerful ancient parchment, forcing him to hurl it like a live grenade, smashing it through a closed window. Everyone in the room hits the deck before it blows a crater in the sidewalk about the size of a VW Beetle.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Paul Smart is a Corrupt Corporate Executive who steals the Ghostbusters' technology and tries to run them out of business by using their weapons to create a ghostbusting robot called Robo-Buster, stating that Robo-Buster could destroy ghosts rather than just capture them. Unfortunately, all the ghosts zapped by Robo-Buster simply have their energies dissipated, and all this ectoplasmic power simply combines into one gigantic ghost that threatens to destroy the whole city. The Ghostbusters trapping the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future Christmas, effectively changing history and turning Christmas into a hate day.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: In "A Ghost Grows in Brooklyn", Ray is right when he says that plants respond to music, however, he thinks it's because they have feelings. Actually, the plants are just responding to the soundwaves and it's not an emotional response. In "Poultrygeist", Peter thinks the farmer just imagined the were-chicken because he watches "too many horror films". While the were-chicken is real, the farmer really does watch horror films.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: As often as the show likes to make callbacks to the movies, it pointedly avoids making any mention of Dana Barett. Interestingly enough, the Marvel UK comics based on the show featured Dana as The Unseen — she would never actually appear, but Peter would sometimes mention her, and he would occasionally be seen preparing for a date with her. (The Norwegian translation of the comic featured a surprisingly witty lettercolumn where Peter answered the kids' letters, and the kids would sometimes ask why Dana Barett never appeared in the comic. Peter's answer varied — "She's too beautiful to appear in the comic," "Because my personal life can't interest anyone," "I asked but I think she's too shy.") However, there was a comic adaptation of Ghostbusters II which used The Real Ghostbusters designs, which meant that the cartoon design for Dana was created specifically for that. Like the other stars of the movie, she did not look like her actress. Lita, an odd girl in "No One Comes to Lupusville" who took a liking to Egon, informed them of the truth about the town they're in. She helps them out in exchange that they get her out of town. In the end, the Ghostbusters flee from the town to escape the ensuing chaotic fight between the vampires and werewolves. Lita was then revealed to have stowed away, sitting on the back of Ecto-1, but was never seen again after the episode.

Eye Catch: On the first two ABC seasons, the "No Ghost" logo, underneath the shows' title, flipped around to announce that the show was back. This bumper was always used to start Act 2, and Arsenio Hall voiced him. The Syndicated episodes had a big "No Ghost" logo running towards it, one flipped around, one scared, one sawing, and one whistling. Usually, Frank Welker voiced the "No Ghost", but some of them had Arsenio Hall voicing them. After the show became Slimer! And The Real Ghostbusters, the eyecatch was now Frank Welker saying that the show was back. The half-way bumper for hour-long broadcasts were narrated by Welker in his normal voice, and in his Slimer voice.

Living Dream: The Sandman's MO; he puts his victims to sleep, and their dreams come to life.

Albert Einstein. Winston managed to devise a plan based on this by having Janine fall victim to the sleep, where she dreamed herself as a Ghostbuster, assisting Winston to capture the Sandman and awaken everyone in the city.

Only in It for the Money
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_895ec17
comment
Only in It for the Money: Peter Venkman is usually the member most likely to only care about getting paid for busting ghosts, to the point of complaining whenever Ray tries to pressure him into taking care of supernatural disturbances free of charge, but there are occasional exceptions. One of the exceptions to Peter's unwillingness to work for free is in "You Can't Take It With You," where after they trick a miser into putting his building into the Netherworld, gold and cash rain down on them. Peter, after an evil grinning look to the other Ghostbusters, reluctantly doesn't take the riches (the cops show up not too long after). Yet another case of Peter willingly making an exception in getting paid is in "The Thing in Miss Faversham's Attic." The old woman doesn't have much money, and Peter assures her that "it'll only cost [her] a smile." He admits later that she reminds him of his mother; his voice has a tinge of sadness and regret.

Reed Richards Is Useless: Averted since they do use their super-science equipment to make money. There was even "Ghost Busted", the episode where the guys became crime-fighters during a severe drought in ghost work, and made more money than they did busting ghosts. That same episode also demonstrated one of the reasons the trope exists; the guys did so well, they effectively made NYC crime free, running themselves out of business. Thank goodness for the Reset Button.

Haunted Headquarters: The Ghostbusters share their home with thousands of entities they've caught. Although the ghosts are isolated in their basement containment unit, there's always the threat of a jailbreak that can turn the firehouse into Spook Central.

Kissing Discretion Shot: When Egon uses a homemade dream-reader to show Ray, Winston, and Slimer a blissfully unaware Peter's fantasy, we see a brief shot of a city skyline on the monitor before the "camera" turns to show their reactions to what we can't see.

Justified Title
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_90bc139e
comment
Justified Title: The show was called "The Real Ghostbusters" to legally distinguish itself from Filmation's Ghostbusters, due to Filmation owning the rights to the title "Ghostbusters". The slightly awkward title was justified in-universe in an episode where it was explained that the live-action movie was based on the exploits of the animated-characters, hence making them the "real" Ghostbusters. A much earlier episode had 3 ghosts running around claiming that THEY were the Ghostbusters, hoping to discredit the business- which also justified the title in-universe.

Laser-Guided Karma: When Ray's Aunt Lois hired Phony Psychic Dr. Bassingame to hold a seance in her house, he angered the very real Domovoi spirits that lived in it. The Domovoi ran amuck and the Ghostbusters had to trap them before they wrecked the whole house. The Ghostbusters forced Dr. Bassingame to pay for the repairs to Lois's house by threatening to unleash the Domovoi on his house instead. One of the Domovoi who escaped the Ghostbusters also hitched a ride on Bassingame's car as he left.

Big Bad
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_970c790a
comment
Big Bad: Averted. Unlike almost every action cartoon of its time, which would feature the heroes fighting the same big bad in every episode, the Ghostbusters almost NEVER fought the same ghost twice. Part of this was because it would kind of defeat the purpose of busting ghosts if they just came back every week, and also because the writers felt it gave the show more variety. In later seasons, the network decided they wanted the boys to have a recurring nemesis, which led to the creation of "Ghost Master", the supposed ultimate lord of ghosts. Unlike most other ghosts on the show, who were content to wreak random havoc, Ghost Master actively tried to destroy the Ghostbusters by sending hostile ghosts to kill them. Or that was the plan, anyway, but the writers must have gotten sick of him pretty quickly, as he only showed up a couple of times and was ultimately busted. Samhain also considered them to be his enemies, though they were only required to fight him once a year. Most any ghost that was previously busted appeared again later in some capacity. Most were barely a threat anymore, perfectly content to sit around and play cards for eternity, and only put up a fuss if an outsider (usually Slimer) encroached on their turf. Some (like Gozer/Stay-Puft) were reformed baddies, perfectly friendly and willing to lend a hand if need be. The Sleaze, a Canon Immigrant from the Slimer! shorts, was neither, and in fact had a brother named Glob who was an even worse Magnificent Bastard than he. Even Obstructive Bureaucrat extraordinaire Walter Peck, who first appeared in the original film, got a callback in "Big Trouble With Little Slimer". Professor Dweeb started as a recurring bumbling foil for Slimer in his own series of shorts and later migrated to the mainstream cartoons, where he is only moderately more threatening.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: One episode deals with an enormous multitude of ghosts coming to find the Ghostbusters not to harm them but to find refuge against a creature that eats ghosts and destroys everything around itself. Eventually, the Ghostbusters think of a plan to defeat it but need to lead it somewhere, which they do by emptying their storage tanks and throwing hundreds of ghosts who only wanted to be kept safe at it to be eaten. Nobody gives sacrificing all these ghosts a second thought, but then again the Ghostbusters series as a whole rarely hits upon showing ghosts much compassion.

comment
Continuity Nod: On a few occasions when we see the inside of the containment unit, we can see some of the ghosts the boys busted in earlier episodes. There are also more than a few references to their adventures depicted in Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II, most often in the earlier seasons that Peter uses defeating Gozer as a pickup line. It never works. The boy in "The Grundel" is said to have kicked Mrs. Faversham's cat. Ironically, when the show was rebranded as Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters and featured many reviled changes, Continuity Nods actually improved; particularly with regard to the movies. Among other things, the Ghostbusters reminisce about their first case when they visit New York Public Library, Zuul is in the new intro, Vigo and the psychokinetic slime from the second movie are mentioned, and Louis is added to the cast. The episode-long flashback of how Slimer came to be the Team Pet starts with the 'Busters returning home from their defeat of Gozer the Gozerian, still in their original khaki jumpsuits covered in marshmallow gunk. The changes were made in the series to capitalize on the popularity of the second movie. In turn, the second movie itself recognized that the Ghostbusters were a big hit with children, thanks in part to the cartoon. The adult humor was toned way down, while Slimer (identified by the name which the cartoon had given him, and redesigned to look more like his cartoon self) made a cameo as a bus driver. In The Halloween Door, the disaster of the first movie happens all over again. Ray is a great distance away from the firehouse when it blows up, but he knows it when he hears it.

Rogues Gallery: Downplayed. Villains like the Boogeyman, the Grundle, and Samhain returned for a second round with the Ghostbusters, even if they didn't exactly form a rogues gallery. Many C-list ghosts also reappeared, to prevent the animators from having to create new ones from scratch every episode. Even the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man got a reapperance.

Merchandise-Driven: Despite being a 1980s cartoon series, and despite the fact Kenner had a MASSIVE line of toys to tie in with the cartoon... not really. Early series toys were based mostly on the initial test pilot with some changes to match the final product, leading to oddities like a fat Ray and "Green Ghost" being evil instead of a toy of Slimer, as well as the only toy of Stay-Puft being a measly 6" tall. Very few toys made their way into the cartoon and not many toys based directly on the cartoon were produced. Furthermore, the toys relied on a lot of oddball gimmicks which the show never bothered with. The Ecto-2 (a small helicopter) did show up a few times, although the animated version sat two people instead of one. Janine received a few toys though only one had a proper animation model face. Louis Tully got a few figures after Ghostbusters II and his introduction into the series. Slimer did not get a proper toy until later on when he was released with his own proton pack, and roughly twice the size he should've been to be to scale. Poor Samhain didn't get a toy until Extreme Ghostbusters (in which he never appeared) came around (and he was off-model). Speaking of which, the Extreme Ghostbusters toys sort of subverted some of this by being closer to the animation. Two major ghost toys were in actual episodes and Slimer got two toys- one rather large, another as a pack-in accessory. Garrett was never made as the toy line ended due to poor sales before a second series was made. We did not finally see new tie-in toys until many years later when Mattel released them in a series based on 1970s Mego toys. The 4 Ghostbusters are based on their animation models, a proper Janine figure in suit with proton pack was made, and an actual Samhain figure was produced, along with a proper scale Slimer.

You Don't Look Like You: Mild case, but obviously, the animated Ghostbusters don't resemble their motion picture counterparts. This is because the producers wanted to avoid rights fees. Also the more famous the actor, the less his character resembles him. An episode about someone making a biopic about the Ghostbusters used real footage from the movie to lampshade this.

Skepticism Failure: Winston mentions in one episode that he didn't believe in the supernatural when he first became a Ghostbuster, and only applied with the organization because he was having trouble finding a job. Actually seeing the supernatural makes him a believer. This is a Call-Back to the original movie, where it's obvious that he's only humoring the Ghostbusters during his job interview:

Conforming OOC Moment: Most of Egon's Not So Stoic moments involve him being part of a group reaction: In "Ghosts R Us", he joins in with the other Ghostbusters smiling upon receiving chocolate. Downplayed, since he has been known to like chocolate. In "Mrs. Rogers' Neighbourhood", he joins in with his coworkers and Slimer excitedly lunging for the phone when it rings, then with Winston, Ray, and Slimer in cheering and punching the air. He laughs along with his friends in "Janine's Genie" when she chooses an old-fashioned lamp as her prize. He gasps alongside the rest of the Ghostbusters in "Ghostbuster of the Year" upon seeing a huge mansion.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: An old miser on his deathbed uses a machine to transport all his wealth to the spirit realm in order to take it with him once he dies, not caring that in doing so, he's releasing hundreds of ghosts on the world. The Ghostbusters use his greed against him to make him overload his equipment in an attempt to transport his entire building to the spirit world because "there might not be any hotels there". He succeeds in transporting the building, but it also caused the spirit gate to pull back all the ghosts released before shutting. Oh, and because of the huge volume of the building, all the money the miser transported wound up being brought back to Earth again.

Defeating the Cheating Opponent: Enforced in the "Night Game" episode. A war between the forces of Good and Evil is played as a game of baseball, with the fate of a human soul on the line. The Busters go in to rescue Winston, who is playing on Team Good. At one point, the Busters note that Team Evil is cheating, and the umpire replies "Evil cheats; that's why we call them 'evil'" to the Busters. Only Team Good is not allowed to cheat; if they do, then Team Good loses. Winston and Team Good still win the baseball game anyway in spite of Team Evil cheating, and the human soul is spared.

That said, Egon is the one who bumps heads with him the most due to him having met the Boogieman as a kid.

Luxury Prison Suite: The Boo York Peoplebusters have their own containment unit. It's actually quite pleasant inside, simulating sunny green fields, shady trees, and singing birds. Since everything in Boo York is reversed, it could imply that the interior of the Ghostbusters' containment unit is similarly pleasant for the ghosts they catch. (It is implied in one episode that a ghost who hates noise would be happy in there; convincing it to surrender is a problem, because even the sound of talking makes it angry.)

In later seasons, the network decided they wanted the boys to have a recurring nemesis, which led to the creation of "Ghost Master", the supposed ultimate lord of ghosts. Unlike most other ghosts on the show, who were content to wreak random havoc, Ghost Master actively tried to destroy the Ghostbusters by sending hostile ghosts to kill them. Or that was the plan, anyway, but the writers must have gotten sick of him pretty quickly, as he only showed up a couple of times and was ultimately busted.

Forced Transformation: "Poultrygeist" featured Egon turning into a werechicken. In "Short Stuff," a spell accidentally turns Peter into a mouse. The change lasts only a few moments, though. In the episode "Stay Tooned", Ray, Egon and Winston are turned into cartoon animals as a result of TV cartoon character Sammy K. Ferret gaining ghost-like powers and entering the real world. Interestingly, in Ray's case, it gets combined with a slow Painful Transformation, whereas Winston and Egon transform right away.

Ignored Expert: Ray's aunt invites him and the other Ghostbusters to her house for a seance by a sketchy "spiritualist", who is actually a con artist. Despite her nephew and his friends' extensive knowledge of dealing with spirits, she chooses to trust the con artist's methods, waving off the Ghostbusters' warnings. It went as well as one would think.

Incredible Shrinking Man: In "Short Stuff", the Ghostbusters get shrunk by one of the Ghostmaster's bounty hunters. They then spend the remainder of the episode trying to evade the bounty hunter while Janine and Slimer look up a spell to return the Ghostbusters to normal size.

Color-Coded Characters: As the page image indicates, each of the guys has different colored uniforms, despite the movie showing them all wearing the same color. The show justifies this by having them replace their marshmallow covered suits after fighting Gozer. The meta reason, according to Word of God, was that this was done to make it easier to tell them apart when shown at a distance; that it helped to make the toys more distinct from each other was a happy bonus. Janine gained a pink jumpsuit during her stints as an auxiliary Ghostbuster.

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: When don't they? Slimer does this to Samhain twice. In "When Halloween Was Forever," after Samhain demands that he renounce the Ghostbusters and join him, Slimer blows raspberries in his face. In "Halloween II 1/2," as part of the Ghostbusters' plan to stop Samhain, Slimer slimes him in the face. In "The Halloween Door," the little girl Emma essentially does this to Boogaloo. Ironically, in the episode where they confront the actual Cthulhu, they don't try this; they just open fire.

Jump Scare
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_c04b1231
comment
Jump Scare: The episode Knock Knock is filled with random nonsensical horror right out of Dark Souls, and this lends itself to a large number of these that largely disappear after the scare is done: We have a mysterious woman who's just standing there with her back to the camera while the Ghostbusters survive a monstrous living train. Arriving at the stop, the figure just continues to stand there. When the Ghostbusters approach her, offering their help, she turns around, revealing a skeletal face, laughs at them insane, grows to giant size, then explodes. Egon finds a stone that basically explains the plot of the episode... and after they've walked away and left, the camera zooms in at the stone... a face appears on it and it begins laughing evily. Cue commercial break. Then they spot normal looking humans shackled to a skeletal boat, who tirelessly row. A well dressed skeleton with a cane and binoculars repeatedly comments on seeing dirt again and again. The rowers beg how all they've seen for centuries is dirt. The captain says not to row so fast, after all, they've got all eternity. At this point, the Ghostbusters pretend they didn't even see it.

However, when the Ghostbusters trick him into driving onto a bridge over a river by camouflaging it with a hologram of a normal street, the ghost is instantly paralyzed. Capture went without a hitch.

Ghost Invasion: In the episode "You Can't Take It With You," a dying billionaire builds a machine to open a portal to the afterlife so he can take his vast fortune with him. Unfortunately, this causes a rupture in the separation between the human and spirit worlds, causing ghosts to invade the land of the living. In "It's About Time" the Ghostbusters accidentally travel back to 1959, tearing a hole in the time fabric and allowing ghosts to invade The '50s.

By the Lights of Their Eyes: Used in an interesting fashion in "Knock Knock". The Ghostbusters went onboard a possessed empty train and suddenly the lights went out. They figured out they were alone since the only things that could be seen were four pairs of eyes, but when the lights came back again they found themselves surrounded by a bunch of undead, skeletal passengers with no eyes whatsoever that can see them perfectly well. Used again in an interesting fashion in "Moaning Stones", where the Ghostbusters retreat from an army of reanimated museum skeletons into a dark closet. They could all see each other's eyes in the pitch darkness, plus an extra pair of large glowing red eyes...

Badass Bookworm: Played straight with Egon and Ray. Subverted with Peter in that, while he has his doctorate, any ghostbusting equipment he builds tends to be unreliable at best. This is a nod to the movie, as Peter's PhD's were in psychology and parapsychology, not any technical field(Egon, and to a lesser extent Ray, were the techies). By the time of the new video game, Winston becomes this trope when he acquires a doctorate of his own.

Insane Troll Logic: Venkman, at times. One notable example is in "Citizen Ghost", where Egon catches Peter mindlessly answering "Check" to each of Egon's queries of how every part the Containment Unit is by asking how the transwarp drive is. When told that there isn't a transwarp drive, Peter reasons that if there isn't a transwarp drive, then the Containment Unit can't malfunction and is therefore in top condition. Egon replies that he's going to avoid talking to Peter for at least a week.

Grand Theft Me: Happened to Egon most of the time, the two best-known cases being: "If I Were A Witch Man", being possessed by a witch-like ghost. Another time was in "Egon on the Rampage", when his soul was sucked out due to a machine malfunction, and a demon escaped and took his body for a ride, turning him into a purple Hulk expy. The demon Watt possessed Peter in "Mrs. Rogers' Neighborhood" in an attempt to open the Containment Unit. Everyone including Janine and Slimer (don't ask) except Egon gets possessed in "Ghostworld".

Big Bad Wannabe: Several ghosts weren't content to simply cause trouble and instead had total conquest on their minds. The Ghostbusters busting them right away is what plays the trope straight.

Shout-Out
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: One of the outros features the Ghostbusters dancing in a similar way as the 1984 Ray Parker Jr. music video. On the other hand Ray Parker Jr. played a major role in the music for the first two seasons of the cartoon show. He wrote the songs that played in the chase scenes (the duo Tahiti performed then). He did the whining guitar solos for the background music. He even sung and reorchestrated the theme song for the intro and outro, playing the guitar along with the band. In the episode "Ragnarok and Roll", there's a scene where the villain of the episode says 'magic words' to gain power. These words are "Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatuluk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul. Khazad-dûm!" The first sentence contains the words inscribed on the One Ring as read in the tongue of Mordor from The Lord of the Rings. "Khazad-dûm" is the Dwarven name for the Mines of Moria. One throwaway line mentions a guy named Samsa who's been possessed by a cockroach. In "The Grundel," the Ghostbusters whistle the Inspector Gadget theme. As noted in Too Dumb to Live below, the Doomsday Door in "Knock, Knock" warns the city workers "Do not open until doomsday!", a probable reference to the Outer Limits episode "Don't Open Till Doomsday". The episode "Dairy Farm" has the boys and Ray's cousin Samantha barricading themselves in a farmhouse to escape a horde of zombies. The episodes original title was "Dairy Farm of the Living Dead". The Bogeyman looks a LOT like The Joker if he were a mutated monster. One of the show's funniest shout outs is in the second episode dealing with the Old Ones. Some cultists are trying to summon up one of the Old Ones with a special chant. What's the chant? And then there's the episode "Ain't NASA-Sarily So", which has a host of shout-outs to Star Trek, including - but not limited to - a Scottish chief engineer, an African-American communications officer, and Dr. Venkman mentioning that the crew of Space Station Galileo have been "out exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations." In "Revenge of Murray The Mantis", when Egon calculates the amount of psychokinetic energy the titular creature is packing, the parade organizer asks what it means: In "Ghostbuster of the Year," Egon shouts, "Cowabunga!" (but not without some hesitation) before jumping onto the sled. Since the TV version of Ninja Turtles started after this episode and introduced the use of this phrase, it's unlikely to be a reference to that. In "The Headless Motorcyclist," Egon mentions "reversing the polarity of the neutron flow". In "The Mean Green Teen Machine", Winston's dream depicts him as the bald captain of the Starship Exercise. In "The Collect Call of Cathulhu", Winston tells Peter "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it", a common line from the Super Chicken segment of George of the Jungle. In "Knock, Knock", in what doubles as a bit of a Creator In-Joke, Japanese animation company Ajia-Do's name can be seen on a manhole cover during the initial rampage of the subway graffiti. Poso, the ghost gangster from "Partners in Slime", is named after Mario Puzo, the writer of The Godfather. Poso does want to become the "Ghostfather". "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Ghost?" has a couple of shout outs. The title is one to ''Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". And in the episode itself, when discussing the fact that Horace doesn't realize he's deceased, Egon says they had a smiliar issue with a heavyset apparition on 34th Street. The Micawb family from "Loathe Thy Neighbor" is somewhat of a cross between The Addams Family'' (mother and father look like Gomez and Morticia, young son is an inventor) and The Munsters (teenage daughter is a normal-looking blonde girl in a family of weirdos).

comment
Evil Knockoff: "Citizen Ghost" had the heroes fighting evil spectral doubles of themselves caused by ectoplasmic energy combining with their original beige jumpsuits, which had been contaminated by their fight with Gozer. A Corrupt Corporate Executive creates a robotic ghost eliminator in "Robo-Buster" by making copies of design specs for the team's equipment. Only his version seemingly destroys ghosts, which Egon states is fundamentally impossible. And then is proven correct when all the dispersed ghost energy recombines into a really nasty (and humongous) specter.

comment
Supernatural Hotspot Town: Depicted in the episode "Nobody Comes to Lupusville", where the Ghostbusters investigate the titular town in the countryside. It turns out to be in the middle of a Fur Against Fang conflict, with the original werewolf inhabitants having been imprisoned by vampires. The episode ends with vampires and werewolves biting each other, creating hybrids and forcing the Ghostbusters to quarantine the town by bursting a dam, as vampires Cannot Cross Running Water.

 The Real Ghostbusters / int_cbe687ab
comment
A Corrupt Corporate Executive creates a robotic ghost eliminator in "Robo-Buster" by making copies of design specs for the team's equipment. Only his version seemingly destroys ghosts, which Egon states is fundamentally impossible. And then is proven correct when all the dispersed ghost energy recombines into a really nasty (and humongous) specter.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_cc4d190a
comment
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The aforementioned "Collect Call of Cathulhu", although it was specifically stated that the Ghostbusters only managed to banish Cthulhu, rather than truly harming him. Appropriately, though, the Ghostbusters only managed to do so by reading H. P. Lovecraft's original story. (Lampshaded by saying that Lovecraft researched the Necronomicon for story ideas.) They also required a force of nature to do so; Cthulhu was unharmed by anything they themselves could throw at him and took a couple of lightning bolts to defeat.

Hoist by His Own Petard: The boys did this to themselves when they became the Crimebusters. After they nailed the Crimelord and destroyed his rackets, they essentially put an end to all the criminal activity in New York and ran themselves out of business. Fortunately, that was about the time when ghosts began crawling out of the woodwork again... Egon also has a tendency to do this to himself whenever he gets too complacent about his own genius. Lampshaded by himself in at least one episode.

Spin-Off: Slimer! In addition to his increased role here, Slimer received his own show in 1988. The series had 15 minute episodes (later edited into a two shorts format for reruns) and boasted a more cartoony atmosphere aimed at a younger audience. The Ghostbusters and Janine regularly appeared, but Slimer had his own cast of characters to interact with (some of them are shown in the Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters intro and Professor Dweeb appeared in three episodes here). It lasted one season.

Last-Second Joke Problem: At the end of "Ghostworld", all the characters who'd been possessed have been exorcised, Egon (who'd had a cold) has recovered, and the ghosts and their demon leader have been caught... however, the final scene reveals that the rest of the Ghostbusters (and Slimer, somehow) have caught Egon's cold. "Something's Going Around" ends with the Ghostbusters' supernatural ailments cured and the ghosts caught. Unfortunately however, Janine has to stay at the firehouse while her apartment is being renovated and the Ghostbusters and Slimer are made to wait in line outside the bathroom while she takes a bath.

Anime Hair: Egon has a naturally forming pompadour that resembled this trope.note This was a side-effect of the artists not being able to use the likenesses of the actors in the movie.

Animesque
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_db08a39d
comment
Animesque: Like many cartoons from The '80s, it was produced in America but animated by many Japanese studios (like Toei Animation, TMS Entertainment, Anime R and KK C&D Asia just to name a few). The design is reminiscent of My Neighbor Totoro or anything done by Hayao Miyazaki, and visual tropes such as face faults, Sphere of Destruction and kaiju-style monsters often show up. The American production company didn't care about character designs, so they left it to the Japanese animation studio, with the stipulation that they don't look like the actors from the film. They ended up liking the designs they got back. Although the initial test animation pilot used to sell the show had different character models: Peter looked a bit closer to Bill Murray, Ray was fatter and Winston had a rounder face (the latter two examples being seen in the action figures). Additionally, they all wore beige jumpsuits as seen in the movies - in the finished series only Ray would wear the beige jumpsuit while the other three received color coded jumpsuits (probably to make it easier to differentiate them for the audience and animators). Ray also had the odd habit of riding on top of the Ecto-1 rather than inside it. The suits were ultimately justified in the Episode "Citizen Ghost", which had them change out of the brown suits right after fighting Gozer because they had absorbed loads of psychokinetic energy in the battle. Not only the animation but also the sound effect design was done by the Japanese studios; the Proton Pack's iconic charging up sound in particular can be heard in various Anime even up to this day. For a pretty good example of the show at its' most Animesque look no further than the whole of the episode "Ragnarok and Roll"; not only is the design of the original characters pretty on par for 80's anime, but so is the dramaturgy, the flute music, the cuts, the expression and the destruction.

Also in the episode "Deadcon", the Staypuft Marshmallow Man was released to attend a ghost convention held (without permission) in a hotel which was currently having a costume party. Later, the 'busters exhausted every trap they had to capture all the ghosts. They then realize that they had forgotten one BIG thing... Gilligan Cut to the Staypuft Marshmallow Man still at the hotel, who even won an award for "best costume".

Ship Tease: "Janine, You've Changed" is packed with it for Egon and Janine. This crops up a little earlier as well (carrying forward what was in the original movie) but that episode stops just short of making them an Official Couple. It was even the last episode JMS wrote for the show, and you have to wonder if he was trying to give longtime fans some payoff... The tease even went on to Extreme Ghostbusters as Egon and Janine (as well as Slimer) are the only original members of the group remaining to help with the new blood. Extreme Ghostbusters had several moments that blatantly imply and Egon and Janine are in a relationship, but are remaining private about it.

Until he hears the tale of two young children who explain that they're being terrorized nightly by the Boogeyman. After some prompting, Egon reveals to his fellow Ghostbusters that as a child, he himself was terrorized by the Boogeyman, which spurred his interest in the supernatural to begin with.

Manchild: Ray is a more realistic version of this trope, in that he's fully mature but also possesses a childlike idealism and enthusiasm for life. This actually helps the Ghostbusters lure the Boogieman once they figure out a way to trap the monster.

comment
Expy: A few are noted in the Take That! section, but to sum up: There are characters who are less than kind jabs at Filmation's Ghostbusters, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983), Star Trek: The Original Series and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Speaking of TMNT, Janine's redesign is probably intended to mirror April O'Neil. In the toy line, the ghost toy "Sludge Bucket" was Jabba the Hutt with a giant mouth full of slime and larger eyes. One episode featured Captain Steel and his archenemy Dr.Destructo, comic book characters created by comic book artist Len Wolfman.

Odd Reaction Out
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_e75614db
comment
Odd Reaction Out: In "Ghostbuster of the Year", when the Ghostbusters are put in a contest to see who can trap a ghost named Charles Foster Hearse the first, and the winner will be put on the cover of a magazine called Spooks Illustrated, most of them are excited and keen to be "famous". Winston, however, doesn't like the idea of working alone and believes that fame is overrated. In "The Haunting of Heck House", the Ghostbusters and Slimer are offered to stay the night in a Haunted House and win a million dollars just for surviving. Most of them are keen, but Egon is very much not. In "'Til Death Do Us Part", the Ghostbusters and Slimer meet their substitute secretary for when Janine is on vacation, Dixie. Most of them find her extremely attractive, but Egon pays her no heed.

Screw the Rules, They Broke Them First!: Defied in Night Game, where the forces of Good face the forces of Evil in a baseball game; Team Evil is clearly cheating, but Team Good is still beholden to the rules. Peter and Ray try to cheat on their behalf by blasting Evil's pitcher, but Egon stops them, because the Umpire told them there were no neutrals in this fight, so whether they knew it or not, they were on Team Good's bench. If they cheated, Good loses.

Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: A massive water elemental demon swallows our heroes whole and it looks like the end... until he makes a disgusted face and spits Peter out. Needless to say, Peter was insulted. "Chicken, He Clucked": A man with an unusual hatred of chickens summons a demon to get him to rid all the chickens on the planet. The demon was baffled at such a request since this is the first time someone didn't ask for something extravagant, so he instead gives him the power to make anything vanish. The man uses his newfound power to transport all the chickens in the world off the planet and into another dimension. The demon started to get constant ridicule from his fellow demon employees for making a deal over something so stupid. He decided that a soul wasn't worth this hassle and was reduced to asking the Ghostbusters for help to cancel the contract before his reputation is shot forever.

Used in an interesting fashion in "Knock Knock". The Ghostbusters went onboard a possessed empty train and suddenly the lights went out. They figured out they were alone since the only things that could be seen were four pairs of eyes, but when the lights came back again they found themselves surrounded by a bunch of undead, skeletal passengers with no eyes whatsoever that can see them perfectly well.

Rage Against the Author: A partial example occurs with cartoonist Walt Fleischman, who becomes trapped in his cartoon world when it becomes real. Walt is kidnapped by his villains, who plan to make him suffer all the slapstick abuse he put them through (Quite literally - they've counted precisely how many times he's dropped them down trap doors, hit them with pies, and so on, and are shown keeping track of how many times they've now returned the favor, and how many more they need to do). It's only a partial example because, when the Ghostbusters enter the cartoon world to save Fleischman, his heroes are more than happy to help them save dear old "Uncle Walt".

Big, Thin, Short Trio: Some episodes featured a trio of ghosts where one was huge and obese, one was very thin, and one was very short. "Ghosts R Us" has the Ghostbusters fight a ghostly family of three named Slug (the short father), Snarg (the skinny mother), and Zunk (the fat kid). While Egon, Ray, Peter, and Winston are busy fighting a giant imp monster in "Janine's Day Off", Janine and her temporary replacement have to deal with a fat ghost, a skinny ghost, and a short ghost accidentally beamed into the Firehouse who start wreaking havoc once they get their hands on a proton pack. The titular pizza-loving troublemakers from "The Mean Green Teen Machine" consists of Guggenheim (big), Chicoloni (thin), and an unnamed third member (short).

Team Pet
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_fb9e2ffd
comment
The episode-long flashback of how Slimer came to be the Team Pet starts with the 'Busters returning home from their defeat of Gozer the Gozerian, still in their original khaki jumpsuits covered in marshmallow gunk.

comment
Canon Immigrant: A couple from the Slimer short toons made it to the main series late season: The insufferable Professor Dweeb made three appearances - looking not too different from his toon presentation. One appearance was "The Slob," which brought back the odorrific ghost Sleaze as the McGuffin for his older brother Glob.

Well-Intentioned Extremist
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_fd4f8299
comment
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Sandman, in "Mr. Sandman, Dream Me a Dream," is one. His race is responsible for helping people around the world sleep, but he's so fed up with humanity's warring and fighting that he decides that putting everyone in a five-hundred-year slumber is the only way to bring peace to the planet. Of course, his methods make sleeping people's dreams come to life, but initially, those dream-creatures, for the most part, weren't trying to hurt anyone; it was only after the Ghostbusters annoyed the Sandman that he turned the beasts into nightmarish monsters.

Grail in the Garbage
 The Real Ghostbusters / int_fe61495d
comment
Grail in the Garbage: In one episode, Ray finds himself in possession of the shears belonging to the Three Fates, finding them on the ground just as he needs to cut something. He keeps them, forcing Clotho to chase him all over New York to try to (discreetly) get them back, because she's the one who dropped them in the first place. As far as he can tell, they're just a pair of scissors, but they're really awesome scissors.

Shown Their Work: And not just the Cthulhu Mythos. Whenever a ghost from another culture, such as Samhain, appears, you can be sure to check off the references to the original story. This even went as far as justifying meeting the "ghost" of Sherlock Holmes, which Rule of Cool alone would have allowed to slide, by citing the occult concept of the egrigore, a spirit created by faith in it. In addition to that the containment device and the process for unloading traps works exactly the same way it does in the movies, right down to the same buttons and lights. In "The Collect Call of Cathulhu", Egon's explanation of how the proton beams are going to ionize the metallic superstructure of the rollercoaster and attract a lightning is scientifically sound and can even be tried at home on a smaller scale (skip to 3:04 in the video).
