Watch My Chops (also known as Corneil et Bernie and Corneil & Bernie in France and the USA and Canada respectively) is an animated television series about Corneil, a knowledgeable dog who can talk, and Bernie, his dimwitted pet-sitter.Corneil is a hyper-intelligent dog but has long concluded that his intelligence is best kept as a secret since he's already living a very comfortable life as a pampered pet. His plans go awry when his owners hire Bernie as a pet sitter and Corneil ends up talking in front of him. Bernie agrees to keep Corneil's secret since it lands him a comfortable and secure job, and the show chronicles their misadventures, such as with Bernie's personal life or Corneil having Bernie act as a chauffeur/proxy.Watch My Chops was produced, written, and animated by French animation and production studio Millimages. The English dub was done at The Sound Company Studios in London. It aired on France 3 in France, on CBBC in the UK, on TVO Kids in Canada, and on Nicktoons in the USA. Only two seasons were initially produced (they were merged as one season in the UK run) with twenty-six episodes each.The show was uncanceled in 2014, with the new episodes being created by using Flash animation. While they were dubbed into English, these episodes have only aired in France and Australia. | |

Amnesiac Hero: Bernie seems to think that Corneil has become this in "Peas in a Pod" though in reality, it's a case of Corneil taking full advantage of the Identical Stranger trope by tricking Bernie into taking Humbert while he gets some downtime. | |

Heel–Face Turn: During "Art Attack", Corniel manages to trick Joe the Scoundrel into giving up by disguising himself as Inspector Cornelius. Joe is later seen working in a burger joint during "Don Cornelius", having genuinely changed his ways and then trying to bring Don Cornelius to justice, believing him to be a mafia boss on the run. | |

| Watch My Chops / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: There are times where Bernie does rightfully call out Corneil on some of his actions such as his fear of swimming and panicking in a bathtub during training when he was obviously not going to drown, faked getting seriously hurt to trick Bernie to giving him back a lost watch, driving him along with John and Beth crazy after getting scared from a burglery causing the former to get detention and having to spend time in a bathtub. | |

| Watch My Chops / int_6ef6417b | comment |
Disney Death: Happens to Corneil near the end of "Finders Weepers", where he falls down the stairs (after faking an injury to convince Bernie that the watch he found is cursed with bad luck). Thinking he is dead, Bernie throws the watch out the window in despair. But when Corneil is revealed to be alive, Bernie couldn't be happier. | |

Believer Fakes Evidence: In "Close Encounters of the Alien Kind", Bernie gets Corneil to disguise himself as an alien to prove to his classmates he's met one. It works a little too well; Corneil gets chased by Bernie's classmates and by episode's end, Bernie gets carted off by Mulder and Scully-esque FBI agents because he was able to "translate" the alien. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Corneil can be downright devious when he wants to be. The best example of this is in the episode Double Jeopardy, where Bernie tricks Corneil into helping him get Romeo's confiscated karate video back from Ms Martin, lying/scaring him that it was of him talking. When Corneil finds out, he gets revenge by calling him, using a device to sound like Ms Martin, and tricks him into ruining an important meeting of Ms Martin's and it ends with Bernie getting a month's detention. | |
