Ageless Birthday Episode | comment |
A staple in most children's cartoons and kid-friendly sitcoms is the Ageless Birthday Episode. This is an episode that centers on a specific character's birthday but never mentions the character's new age. If this character's actual age is part of the show's status quo, then you can expect their age to remain the same even after the "birthday episode." The inevitable numerous guests and fancy decorations at their birthday party raise even more curiosity as to what this character's age is, as such a party would only seem to make sense during a monumental birthday like their 16th, 18th, or 21st, the lattermost only being important in the United States. This trope occurs most often in children's cartoons and more kid-friendly sitcoms, and goes hand-in-hand with Not Allowed to Grow Up. This is most likely because, well, kids love birthday parties, and they associate it more with parties, fun, and presents than turning a year older. This allows them to use it even though characters can't show actual signs of aging. However, it also frequently appears in more adult works, where it is decidedly less justified. If the only evidence of the character's age is what he says in casual conversation, it could be due to the character lying about his or her age, simply because an older age (the character's true age) is seen as less desirable than a younger one; it could, also, simply be a result of the character's exact age being unimportant to the story. An example of Negative Continuity and, sometimes, Status Quo Is God. Subtrope of Birthday Episode. |

Initially averted in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) when one issue has him celebrating his 16th birthday. When another issue has him celebrating a birthday, Rotor questions how old Sonic actually is by now (thanks to adventures in space, Mobius went through a year of changes while Sonic didn't age at all). Sonic replies they should just think of him as a "teen" forever and ever, thus invoking Vague Age had another birthday issue come up. | |

The Story of Seasons series (formerly Harvest Moon) lets the player pick a birthday, and every named character will have a birthday. (Most of the time you can gift them then for a significant boost in your Relationship Values with them on that day.) Birthdays will pass annually but no one ever ages, except occasionally for child characters—and even then only on certain events, until they reach the age in which they don't go any further. However, it's inverted in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and its remake Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, where the very short ten-day seasons means no one has a birth date—but everyone ages over the games' six chapters, including your child. | |

Radio Enfer: Averted during a Season 1 episode centered on Carl's birthday, which is specifically his 16th one. Which makes the whole timeline of the series extremely weird, as five years total are shown to pass between Seasons 1 and 5, but if the character turns 16 in Season 1, he would only have one more year of high school left (in the French Canadian system). |

The Simpsons: Lisa has had a number of these but remains 8. Averted in "Stark Raving Dad", when she officially turns 8, and in "Treehouse of Horror XXXII" where she turns 9 (although this episode is non-canon). The non-canon episode "Mr. Lisa's Opus," which depicts several important birthdays throughout Lisa's growing up, settles on the events of "Stark Raving Dad" as her actual eighth birthday for the purposes of the story. In "Radio Bart" Bart has a birthday, and almost states his age, but is cut off by an animatronic band beginning to play "Happy Birthday". Non-canon "Treehouse of Horror III" has him celebrate a birthday, but no age is given. Maggie turns 1 in "Lady Bouvier's Lover", yet has another (ageless) birthday in "Moe Baby Blues" and is still 1. |

Averted in The Beano, and often lampshaded. Dennis has had various birthdays (usually when the character hits a major anniversary) but he's always ten. When he turned 70 in reality, he complained that he thought he was ten last year, but his mum told him not to be silly. (Most characters with their own strip are also ten, but the Bash Street Kids are always nine.) As late as the early 2000s, however, Dennis had a Vague Age and was drawn looking any age from six to thirteen by different artists, so birthdays then were ageless. |

"Good Evening, Midnight", a story in the Batman: Black and White anthology series, is implied to be set on Bruce Wayne's birthday; Alfred sets out a cake with a candle, and reminisces about the day Bruce turned three.

In Power Rangers whenever a Ranger celebrates a birthday, no age will be mentioned. The most notable being the first time it happened in the first season in "Happy Birthday Zack". It was perhaps for the best since the characters, originally meant to be high school juniors or seniors at the time, were retconned into being freshman due to staying in high school for four seasons. Giving out an actual age would have ended in a continuity error. | |

In Pac-Man World, Pac-Man was stated to be having his 20th birthday, as the game was released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original Pac-Man. Pac-Man World: Re-PAC, which was released 23 years later, omits any mention of his age, likely because him celebrating his 43rd birthday didn't have the same impact. | |

(Marigold, being an ageless unicorn who loves attention, declared it was her tenth too, saying she must be ten of something). | |

Spider-Man 2 has Peter's family throwing him a birthday party with no mention of his age. But since Aunt May referred to Uncle Ben's murder, which happened shortly before Peter graduated from high school, being two years ago we can infer that Peter turned 19 or 20. | |

Blue's Clues: One episode is about Blue's birthday. It's presumably her first birthday but it's never referred to as such and she is still called a "puppy" in future episodes. Averted in an episode about Mailbox's birthday, in which Steve says he's turning ten. |

One of the Additional Cases in Criminal Case: City of Romance has the High Commissioner ask his old friend, who owns a circus, throw a private performance to celebrate his son's birthday. Despite this being one of the very few birthday celebration to be shown on-screen, Gauthier is pretty much the only character (other than the Player Character) to not have his age revealed. | |

The Duck Who Never Was plays with this. It was first published in 1994 (the sixtieth anniversary of Donald's debut), and should logically be the celebration of Donald's birthday. However, Don Rosa, the creator the editors hired for the job, has a rather narrow view of continuity, where he doesn't want to write anything taking place after 1967. One character does state Donald is sixty, but this character is near-sighted and has been reading Donald's filled-in form upside down. note Speaking of the form, in the panel where we first see it, Donald wrote "Month: 09; Day: 06; Year: 19__", as he was in the middle of filling it out. In the panel where the employer misreads the form, we only see the day and the month, which are rendered as 90 and 60 respectively. Therefore, it is possible that Donald is 60 as was intended, but in Don Rosa's personal continuity, he can pretend it was just a mistake of the near-sighted character. Later, when the employer arrives at Donald's birthday party to give him his job back, mentioning that Donald is (allegedly) 60, Gladstone Gander then exclaims, "Better stick some extra candles on the cake!" Of course, we've never seen the cake beforehand, and by the time we see it, the extra candles are already there. |

Harvey Street Kids: In the season 3 finale "Days of Future Presents", Richie Rich invokes this trope when he allows the Harvey Girls to throw him a birthday party. He claims nobody likes an old child millionaire, so if anyone asks about his age they have to say that Richie is "over 8". Somehow, in that episode, the girls had their best birthdays mentioned, with Dot's having Happy Birthday to You! playing instrumentally. The episode "I Wanna Crush Your Hand" had this too, as with a flashback to Lucretia's, but it is unknown how old she is as well. |

Jackie Chan Adventures: Jade and Uncle both have these. Uncle's is in "The Dog and Piggy Show" while Jade's isn't until a much later episode called "Black and White and Chi All Over", although in Uncle's case, it is stated he was born in the year of the dog. Since Uncle appears to be in his 60s or 70s at the time the show started (2000), this would mean he was most likely born in either 1922 or 1934. | |

A recurring gag in Arthur is that Prunella celebrates her half-birthday in addition to her birthday, allowing the show to have three separate episodes centered around a "birthday celebration" for her, prompting one character to ask if she had a birthday six months ago, only to be corrected that this celebration is either her half-birthday or her real birthday and this one was the other birthday celebration. That said, Prunella is a grade ahead of the core cast, who are all in the third grade and mostly are said to be 8 years old, making Prunella 9 years old, 9 1/2 years old, or 8 1/2 years old, depending on the episodes timeline, justifying this trope. | |

Precocious has a weird variant. Most characters have a canonically established age, but Not Allowed to Grow Up is in effect, so every time one of them has a birthday, they somehow go from 10 years old to 10 years old (or whatever age applies to the specific character). Naturally, they don't mention the actual numbers during the story. | |

It's Margaret's birthday with no specific age given in "Margaret's Birthday Buddy / Margaret's Birthday Party," since Margaret was allowed to grow up just enough to make her a sibling for Daniel who could actually play and talk a bit.note She was born in a previous installment, then aged up to toddler status shortly afterward. |

Scooby Doo! Pirates Ahoy! takes place during Fred's birthday. The closest we get to his age getting mentioned is a gag where the Gang thinks he's saying he's turning 37, but it turns out he didn't hear the question and was naming off the dock numbers while looking for the one their cruise ship is at. The number is also a meta reference to the fact that the movie was released 37 years after the original show first premiered, so technically speaking, in meta terms Fred was 37 years old at the time. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In the episode "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler", SpongeBob celebrates his birthday among several other parties he planned on the same day. Even though he has a revealed birthday, his age isn't revealed. Another episode ("Pet Sitter Pat") when SpongeBob was invited to his grandmother's birthday. All was said about her age was "turning...even older". Yet another episode, "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout," created for the 20th anniversary of the series, takes place on SpongeBob's Birthday yet again. The episode ends with Patrick asking him how old he really is, to which SpongeBob responds, "Well, as of today, I am—" only for the episode to end right as he's about to say it. However, according to SpongeBob's driver's license, he was born on July 14, 1986, putting his age at 33 by the time of the episode. |

Lampshaded in Animal Crossing. When the villagers have their birthdays, they don't mention how old they're turning. But if you chat up a Snooty or Sisterly villager enough, your character will actually ask them that (well, at least the way Heroic Mimes do), and they'll respond by saying it's rude to ask a lady her age. It's also lampshaded when a party guest mentions they don't actually know what birthday they're celebrating. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The episode "Sweet and Elite" centers on Twilight Sparkle's birthday among other things, though her age is never revealed. Likewise, Pinkie Pie's age on her birthday is never revealed in "Party of One" and Spike's age is never revealed in "Secret of My Excess". Rainbow Dash's new age is also not revealed on her birthday in "Pinkie Pride". Sweetie Belle's fifth birthday was an important plot point in "For Whom The Sweetie Belle Toils", but it took place in the past. |

The Valentines Day special of Johnny Bravo doubles as a Birthday Episode, and Johnny claims he's officially "20-something-else, which is a whole lot different than being 20-something." | |

Pokémon: The Series: The anniversary of Ash and Pikachu's meeting is celebrated at least twice, but Ash is still 10. Heck, according to how many episodes there are, if Ash had a new adventure every single day (and certain episodes take place over multiple days already), there is no possible way he could still be 10 years old. Yet he is still canonically 10 years old. Meowth pokes fun at this in the second episode of Diamond & Pearl when, at least in the dub, he claims that Team Rocket have been chasing after Ash's Pikachu longer than Dawn's been alive - which really was the case, the episode first airing about nine and a half years since their introduction - despite her canonically being 10 years old, just like Ash is supposed to be. An episode of XY reveals Jessie recently had a birthday, however we still never learn her age (though early material heavily implied she's around 25). Considering Ash, it's probable Jessie hasn't aged either. |

Subtly subverted in Codename: Kids Next Door: The Delightful Children from Down the Lane have a birthday party Once a Season, ultimately holding six, without anyone visibly aging. However, it's briefly mentioned that, despite the five of them acting in complete unison and celebrating collectively, there's a separate party for each's birthday every year. So only one year passes between the first and last. That said, no one is mentioned to have even aged a year in that time frame. | |

South Park: The episode "Damien" does this with Cartman's birthday (although we can probably assume that he turned 9 in this episode, as the show subtly suggests that he's a little older than the three other SP boys). Averted in "You're Getting Old", which opened with Stan celebrating his 10th birthday. |

Hey Arnold!: In "Eugene's Birthday", Arnold tries to throw Eugene a surprise birthday party (with unsuccessful results), but never mentions Eugene's new age. Same thing with Helga. In "April Fool's Day", Arnold gives her a gag present claiming it's a week-late birthday present, but never mentions how old she is now. Since she was nine beforehand, this was likely her tenth birthday. Zig-Zagged during "Grandpa's Birthday". Phil turns 81, and it's a major part of the episode's plot, but after that episode his age is never brought up again. |

Averted and played straight in Family Guy: Meg turned 17 in "Peter's Two Dads" and 18 in "Quagmire and Meg", but has also had a couple of other birthdays without her age being mentioned. Chris had a birthday in "Follow the Money" but his age was not mentioned. He has however aged from 13 to 14 during the course of the series. Stewie turned 1 in "Chitty Chitty Death Bang". Peter has had two ageless birthday episodes, but his age has been said in other episodes to be 42 and 43, suggesting those birthdays could be his 42nd, 43rd or 44th. Lois turns 43 in "Lois Comes Out of Her Shell" but has also had a couple of other birthdays without an age being mentioned in "Stewie Kills Lois" and "Regarding Carter". Averted in "Cootie and the Blowhard" where Brian has a birthday and at the end, he reveals that he is now 10 years old, which is 70 in dog years. |

PJ Masks: The episode "Catboy and the Great Birthday Cake Rescue" focusses on Greg's birthday, but his age is never mentioned. According to the character's bio, they are 6 years old, but it's unknown if Greg was 5 before and turned 6 now, or if he was 6 before and thus should be 7 now (and by extend, the others as well since he's stated to be the youngest). | |

Played straight in the Nickelodeon Doug episode "Doug's Birthday Present." To the extent that the Disney series opened with an episode about him turning 12. Since he was 11½ when he moved to Bluffington and lived there during the Nickelodeon birthday episode, the only logical conclusion one could draw is that he had two 12th birthdays! It's even stranger. The aforementioned "Doug's Birthday Present" is a Season 4 episode — the Season 2 episode "Doug vs. the Klotzoid Zombies" ends with Doug and his friends celebrating the 1st anniversary of him moving to Bluffington, and yet Season 3's "Doug's New Teacher" still says he's 11½! | |

Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse: The short "Gifts, Goofs, Galore" features Barbie and her friends celebrating her birthday. However, the friends realize that since Barbie never ages, as dolls never do, they don't know how old she is. Ken eventually asks her, but the vacuum drowns out her answer. "Little Bad Dress" takes place at Raquelle's half-birthday party, but the cartoon never specifies which half-birthday it is. (The cake only has four candles, but Raquelle is obviously way older than four.) The same series averts this in "Happy Birthday Chelsea", in which Barbie's youngest sister, Chelsea, explicitly turns six years old. |
