Courage the cowardly dog is one of the funniest cartoons one can ever find. This series revolves around the exploits of Courage, a small, fuchsia dog who is afraid of the most mundane things. Though his name is courage, he has very less courage inside him to fight against the terrors or remain brave when something scary happens. Eustace, Muriel, and Courage are constantly attacked by (or running into) various monsters, aliens, villains, curses, experiments, natural disasters, and other forms of peril. Courage almost every time freaks out and tries to escape from these problems. This is always shown with excellent comedy. The guy hardly likes the dog as it always says that there is some problem but when he goes to check it out he hardly finds any problem that the dog tries to show to him.

All the opening of the show starts with Courage’s past: “Abandoned as a pup, he was found by Muriel, who lives in the middle of Nowhere with her husband Eustace Bagge. But creepy stuff happens in Nowhere; it’s up to Courage to save his new home.”

It also features the spoofing or reference of various classic horror and cult films as the basis for many episodes. This can be noticed in episodes like “The Demon in the Mattress”, “The Precious, Wonderful, Adorable, Loveable Duckling”, “Heads of Beef”, “Klub Katz”, “Journey to the Center of Nowhere”, “The Great Fusilli”, “Robot Randy”, “1000 Years of Courage”, “Invisible Muriel”, “Human Habitrail”, “Courage the Fly”, “Mega Muriel the Magnificent”, “The Transplant”, “McPhearson Phantom” etc.
