Creator's Oddball	comment	Creator's Oddball is a work that clashes with the rest of a creator's output. It can be much Lighter and Softer or Darker and Edgier, or even a different genre. This might be related to Early-Installment Weirdness, where the writer has just started their career and hasn't settled on a genre yet. If this occurs in an actor's filmography, that actor is Playing Against Type. If this occurs in an actor's filmography when it really shouldn't have, this is Questionable Casting. In music, this might become a New Sound Album if the change in direction doesn't take and the artist goes back to their signature style. If it's a specific song, and it becomes successful, it's a Black Sheep Hit. For Franchises instead of writers, this is Oddball in the Series. When it's a show on a TV network, this is Network Red-Headed Stepchild. Sometimes results in Magnum Opus Dissonance in either direction.

"Ralph" is a film about the secret life of non-sentient things like Pixar often did (as exemplified by the famous meme "What if toys/cars/robots/emotions had feelings?") with lots of jokes linked to a specific demographic (gamers in the 1980s and 90s) that goes over the head of the younger audiences. Whereas "Brave" feels to many like a clichÃ©d Disney character-driven fairy tale featuring a rebellious princess forced in an arranged marriage and having to deal with an overbearing mother.

Creator's Oddball / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball is very much the outlier among Toriyama's large body of manga work. Toriyama's first big break was Dr. Slump, a zany gag manga series which was seen as his magnum opus until Dragon Ball came along and usurped it. Dragon Ball initially started in much the same vein as Dr. Slump with its silly and raucous humour, but it steadily evolved into the violent, high-stakes, hyper-masculine action-adventure series it's more popularly known as; a direction that Toriyama himself came to regret and attempted to rectify in the final arc. Since Dragon Ball concluded, Toriyama has primarily dabbled in limited manga series and one-shots like Sand Land and Kintoki that instead emphasise comedy and adventure, effectively Revisiting the Roots. His return to the Dragon Ball franchise in 2013 saw him apply more of his gag manga affections to the series, which is reflected in the character design sheets and the overall writing.

Creator's Oddball / int_43e9884a	comment	The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter is reasonably hard Sci-Fi, and while it has humorous moments, it's not a comedy. It might be based on an idea Sir Terry had before he became synonymous with funny fantasy, but it's very different from his usual works. And while his love of Victoriana is visible in later Discworld novels, Dodger is unique in that it contains no fantastic elements at all.

Creator's Oddball / int_4924a2b1	comment	The Melvins have had several album-length left turns, but possibly the most surprising is The Bootlicker: while their sound usually involves sludgy walls of feedback, this album features absolutely no guitar distortion. The actual content doesn't get any lighter and softer, but the arrangements bring to mind Tom Waits and Krautrock more than they do grunge or stoner metal. Freak Puke by Melvins Lite is probably the closest they've come to returning to this sound - that album did prominently distorted guitars; However, with Trevor Dunn sitting in on standup bass and Dale Crover restricted to playing his drums with brushes, it also emphasized the more jazzy and experimental elements of their sound.

It was just that: a straightforward table tennis game, treated with the same seriousness as all of their other titles. Pretty much every retrospective on the game goes out of its way to note just how oddball and unlike the rest of the company's titles it was. Table Tennis was actually far more important to Rockstar than one may guess, as it was a test run for the new Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) that powered titles like Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption during the seventh generation of gaming.

Creator's Oddball / int_56261447	comment	Army of the Dead is the first feature film that Snyder has ever shot entirely digitally (the only things he shot digitally before this movie was his short Snow Steam Iron, and parts of the epilogue for Zack Snyder's Justice League after Army of the Dead completed principal photography). It is also perhaps the one in his filmography with the least amount of Color Wash outside of Dawn of the Dead (2004). It's also one for Netflix: the streamer had long been barred from screening any of its films in mainstream cinema chains in the United States and many other countries, notably attempting and failing to work out arrangements for Roma, The Irishman and Marriage Story. In the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic, however, the #3 U.S. chain Cinemark warmed relations with Netflix, allowing for titles like Mank, The Trial of the Chicago 7, The Midnight Sky and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom to play on their screens. Army of the Dead, however, marks the first time a Netflix film has received a full-on nationwide release in a major cinema chain, despite premiering on the streaming service just one week later. While it only earned about an estimated $1 million, the release was apparently considered enough of a success that Netflix would launch another 14 movies in theaters between September and December 2021.

Then there's "The Last Laugh" which is almost hateful and is very mocking towards The Misfits. It's surprisingly mean-spirited and shows that Jerrica is fed up with Pizzazz. "Glitter and Gold" is also less fluffy than their normal fare, being a boastful song where Jem talks about how confident and fashionable she is. The Misfits are all about boosting their own egos. "Misfits in Hawaii" is self-deprecating and portrays them in a negative light. "Love Sick" is a straight-up love song (fitting since Pizzazz does become seriously out of it when she falls for Riot), which is not something The Misfits care for.

Their second TV anime, Kiznaiver, is a sci-fi story about seven students forced into an experiment where the pain one feels is shared between them, and while there are still some comedic moments, but it is an intensely dramatic and romantic series, with a lot more focus on character rather than an overarching plotline.

Creator's Oddball / int_74e12970	comment	Balan Wonderworld was the first 3D platformer published by legendary JRPG makers Square Enix, known for Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and Dragon Quest. Granted, they did not develop Balan Wonderworld, they were only the publishers, but there have been many reports of Executive Meddling from Square Enix, who were keen to massively expand the game's story and lore (including a tie-in novel) similar to typical JRPGs, culminating in the removal of Yuji Naka as director. General consensus is that they interfered too much in the development of a game in a genre they had no experience with, and it shows in the final product.

Their previous game, Deadfall Adventures, was somewhat more puzzle and story driven than their previous games but was still very much a first-person shooter. However, their 2017 game Get Even (2017), despite being advertised as an FPS, was really more of an Environmental Narrative Game with stealth elements, and while it is possible to play it as a shooter, the gunplay is deliberately poor and the story heavily penalizes you for playing it as an FPS. The Farm 51 have acknowledged this approach was poorly received, and their next game, Chernobylite, while still story-driven, has much more of an emphasis on gameplay and doesn't heavily punish playing it as an FPS.

Creator's Oddball / int_99ee6dbe	comment	In Emily Carroll's collection of stories in Through the Woods, almost all of the stories share certain tropes and themes; they're set in a vaguely defined past (generally somewhere in the 1700s-1800s judging by the clothes), most of the stories are Nameless Narratives or have the absolute minimum number of named characters, there are supernatural elements present but often the greatest threats are more mundane issues, etc. One story, "The Nesting Place" seems to intentionally go for the opposite on all these points. Judging by the fashions, the story could only be set in the 1920s (possibly the 1930s), every character who appears on screen gets a name and lines to speak, and the only danger to the main character is a fantastical creature... although she uses the threat of mundane dangers that people would pose to the creature, along with a dose of They Would Cut You Up, to get it to back down.

It's a slapstick comedy with copious Breaking the Fourth Wall gags from beginning to end, with even the few somber moments being played for laughs. In a rare move for a Disney movie at the time, there was no Love Interest or romance for the protagonist. The villains are also lovable nutjobs who don't die in the end, and the standard cute animal sidekick is rejected by almost everyone and becomes a jerk as a result. They even subverted the then-typical Disney "bad guy turns into a giant mindless monstrosity" climax by having main antagonist Yzma turn into a cute little kitten that keeps her intelligence, attitude, and ability to speak.

Creator's Oddball / int_b4fe32c9	comment	Invader Zim is this to Nickelodeon, due to its unusual art-style, heavy amounts of Black Comedy and horror, and attracting an older audience than most of the channel's shows. While Nickelodeon did intend for it to be this — the reason they hired Jhonen Vasquez in the first place was that they wanted edgier material in the vein of The Ren & Stimpy Show — the fact that it contrasted so much with their other programming like SpongeBob SquarePants and The Fairly OddParents!, in addition to the show's budget issues, ultimately led to an early cancellation and being destined to be a Cult Classic.

Moreover, it's the most overtly wacky and parodic game they have made, directly spoofing cheesy alien invader B-movies.

Creator's Oddball / int_bba90723	comment	Eurovision Song Contest: Latvia, best-known for crazy novelty acts, sending the quiet, intimate "That Night" by Carousel in 2019. In one of the most triumphant recent examples, Italy sending glam-rock band MÃ¥neskin with "Zitti e buoni" in 2021, which went against their usual grain and earned them their first victory in over thirty years. Thirty years prior, they sent their only entry neither in Italian or English: Peppino di Capri's "Comme Ã¨ ddoce 'o mare," which is in the Neapolitan language. Earlier still, in 1957, Italy sent the longest song to ever compete in the contest. Nunzio Gallo's "Corde della mia chitarra" was a whopping 5:09, which led to the establishment of the rule that songs could be no longer than three minutes long the following year. Al Bano and Romina Power's "We'll Live It All Again" (1976), Raphael Gualazzi's "Madness of Love" (2011), and Nina Zilli's "L'amore e femmina" (2012) are the only Italian entries to have as much, if not more, English in them as Italian. Francesca Michielin's "No Degree of Separation" (2016) was also partially translated into English for Eurovision, but the majority of it remained in Italian. Most people would agree that the Mediterranean-sounding banger of 2019 was Luca HÃ¤nni's "She Got Me." Astonishingly, it came from Switzerland, and its fourth-place finish was their best in over twenty-five years. An earlier example would be their host entry from 1989, Furbaz's "Viver senza tei" - their only entry in the Romansh language. Not necessarily sonically (although it is somewhat unusual for them to send a rock song), but conceptually: their 2005 entry "Cool Vibes" was performed by Estonian girl group Vanilla Ninja. While other singers from outside of Switzerland have represented them in the past, most at least sang in one of their native languages (French, German, or Italian). Vanilla Ninja had no connection whatsoever, but they did score very well and finished eighth. At the time, Gina G's "Ooh, Aah...Just a Little Bit" was considered this for both the United Kingdom and the contest as a whole, as it was much more electronically-driven and contemporary than most of what was sent to the competition in the mid-90s. While it only finished eighth, it was still a huge hit and scored a Grammy nomination. Lithuania managed to zig-zag this: they got their best result to this day with LT United's "We Are the Winners" in 2006, a straightforward sports chant/novelty song. That in and of itself was a break from type for them, but even more so was their sending a low-key acoustic number (4Fun's "Love or Leave") the following year. Starting in the '80s, Denmark's trademark at the contest was sending high-energy pop songs with brassy instrumentation and lots of dancing. 1991's "Lige der hvor hjertet slÃ¥r" by Anders Frandsen was a simple piano ballad...and their first entry since 1985 to finish outside the top ten. Back-to-back examples in 1995 (Aud Wilken's "Fra Mols til Skagen," a minimalistic, intimate song) and 1997 (KÃ¸lig Kaj's "Stemmen i mit liv," the only straight-up novelty song Denmark's ever sent). At the time, Lordi's "Hard Rock Hallelujah" was this for Finland, but seeing as they've sent several rock songs since then, it's much more common nowadays. "Irlande Douze Points" by Dustin the Turkey. Ireland, the country known for classy ballads and folk songs, sent an electro-pop novelty song performed by a puppet turkey. It wasn't an experiment that paid off particularly. The duo of entries by Jedward are also quite different from what Ireland's known for sending, but at least they got decent results. Earlier, we have Sandie Jones' "Ceol an GhrÃ¡" (1972), which remains Ireland's only Irish-language entry. Subverted in regards to Ireland's Junior Eurovision participation, which is organized by Irish-language TV station TG4, thereby ensuring that every entry Ireland sends there is in Irish. Most people probably wouldn't have expected Germany, of all countries, to send a goofy, lighthearted song about brushing off the haters. Nevertheless, that sums up their 2021 entry, "I Don't Feel Hate" by Jendrik, pretty neatly. It comes complete with tap dancing and a woman dressed as a giant "deuces." The televote wasn't too keen. Both Hovi Star's "Made of Stars" (2016) and Kobi Marimi's "Home" (2019) apply for Israel. They're mostly known for sending songs inspired by their diverse local cultures and immigrant populations, with a particular emphasis on sounds inspired by Eastern European and Mediterranean music. These two songs were both classically Eurovision-esque power ballads meant to sound more like what you'd hear from a Western European country. Neither did particularly well. For a more successful example, 1998's "Diva" by Dana International was a hi-NRG dance number performed by an openly transgender singer. It wound up earning Israel their third victory. Sonically, Portugal's 2021 entry "Love is on My Side" by the Black Mamba isn't too far afield from their usual entries. What sets it apart is that it's the only Portuguese entry (so far) to be performed entirely in English, as the majority of their entries are entirely or mostly in Portuguese. Also applies to Spain's 2016 entry "Say Yay!" by Barei (also their only entry entirely in English) and France's 2008 entry "Divine" by Sebastien Tellier (mostly in English, save for a few lines in French to appease the broadcaster). Applicable at the time for two 2015 entries - Israel's "Golden Boy" by Nadav Guedj and Serbia's "Beauty Never Lies" by Bojana Stamenov - but both have since sent other entries in English. On the flip side, there are also several countries for whom the odd one out is a song entirely in their native language, which applies to Sevak Khanagyan's "Qami" (Armenia 2018)note Inga and Anush's "Jan Jan" (2009) is partially in Armenian but "Qami" is their only entry to date entirely in Armenian., Naviband's "Story of My Life" (Belarus 2017)note They almost had two other songs in native languages, but VAL's Belarusian-language hopeful "Da vidna" couldn't compete after the 2020 contest was canceled, and Galasy ZMesta's Russian-language "Za nauchu tebya" was disqualified from competing in the 2021 contest for containing political content., Kabat's "Mala dama" (Czech Republic 2007)note There were a few lines in Czech in their 2021 entry "Omaga" by Benny Cristo, Fomins and Kleins' "Dziesma par laimi" (Latvia 2004), and Go_A's "Shum" (Ukraine 2021)note A few other Ukrainian entries have been partially in Ukrainian, but "Shum" was the first entry entirely in the language. That distinction would've gone to "Solovey," also by Go_A, but it never competed as the 2020 contest was canceled. The original oddball entry would be Sweden's 1965 contribution, "Absent Friend," performed by opera singer Ingvar Wixell. It was the first Eurovision entry performed entirely in a non-native language, in this case English (although Austria's 1963 entry was also partially in English), leading to the establishment of the native-language rule that would last from 1966-1972 and again from 1977-1998. On that note, it made two entries from 1977 stand out: since both Germany and Belgium selected their entrants before the native-language rule was brought back, they were allowed to perform in English, thereby making their respective entries - "Telegram" by Silver Convention and "A Million in One, Two, Three" by Dream Express - the only two entries between 1977 and 1998 not performed in a country's native language. The first example for France would be 1992's "MontÃ© la rivie" by Kali, which was the first French entry to not be performed entirely in French (a lot of it was in Antillean Creole, as Kali hails from the French overseas territory of Martinique). They would go on to send entries in Corsican (Amaury Vassilly's "Sognu" from 2011, although - unsurprisingly - Patrick Fiori's "Mama Corsica" from 1993 also features a few lines in Corsican) and Breton (Dan Ar Braz et L'Heritage des Celtes' "Diwanit Bugale" from 1996). For both the language and the contest as a whole, Morocco's 1980 entry "Bitaqat Hob" by Samira Said remains not only the sole Eurovision entry entirely in Arabic but also the only entry Morocco ever sent and the only appearance by an African country at the contest to date. Several editions of the contest have unique quirks that never spread to subsequent editions: The 1980 contest featured an ambassador from each competing country (mostly the countries' national final hosts or commentators) introducing their country's song. Several from the 1996 contest, particularly its rebranding as "Eurosong," its unique relegation system (every country interested in competing could submit an entry, which were then judged by jurors from each country to determine which 22 countries would join hosts Norway - an idea that backfired when one of the relegated countries was frequent participant and major EBU financial contributor Germany), having politicians from each country wish their representatives luck, presenting the songs in a "letterboxed" format before the contest switched to widescreen in 2005, presenting the votes from a virtual "blue room," and the only instance to date of a country's spokesperson appearing onstage to deliver her country's votes (fittingly, Norway's). Most of these novelties would disappear the following year, and it's the only contest since the very first in 1956 to not feature a German entry. Partially tested in 2001 and widely used in 2002, the EBU offered countries the choice of either determining their votes entirely through a televote, entirely through a jury (if they had no feasible way of conducting a televote) or through a 50-50 combination of jury and televotes. This backfired when it appeared the 50-50 countries and all-jury countries were trading votes, which led to the all-televote-unless-it's-impossible system being brought back the following year. The 50-50 system wouldn't return until 2009, and now every country was using it. 2006 was the only year where a country voted that wasn't participating: the dubious circumstances surrounding their national final led to Serbia and Montenegro being forced to withdraw, but seeing as it was shortly before the contest and they still intended to broadcast it, the EBU allowed them to vote in both the semi and the final.

Creator's Oddball / int_c160ecac	comment	Buck Owens: By 1969, Owens had already displayed a lot of non-country influences in his music, but that year he released two singles that were much more rock than country: "Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass", which featured fuzztone guitar and harpsichord (!) as lead instruments, and a live cover of "Johnny B. Goode" that would've put most garage bands to shame. He was a big enough star that they still managed to become #1 country hits, but he received some backlash from longtime fans for those two records, plus a bluegrass/gospel cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," due to a pledge he signed several years earlier stating he would never record a song he didn't consider a country song. Owens defended his choice of music, noting that he said he would not record in a pop-country vein, not record rockabilly or bluegrass, which he considered forms of country music. That stated, from about the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, in part due to massive grief over the death of his best friend Don Rich in a tragic accident in 1974, an apathetic Owens began recording pop-country. While the music itself isn't bad, it also did not represent Owens at his best, something he later admitted. It wasn't until the late 1980s, when he had a brief comeback with Dwight Yoakam on "Streets of Bakersfield", that he began to record in his classic styles and made vintage Buck Owens music.

Creator's Oddball / int_e56b20ba	comment	Stop-motion animator Art Clokey made a name for himself creating children's shows like Davey and Goliath and Gumby. He tried his hands in live-action with the mid-'60s short The Plucky Plumber, and later explored the spirituality of human consciousness in his 1977 avant-garde cartoon Mandala.

It still has his signature disturbing art style that makes use of all of his horrific trademarks, but here it's Played for Laughs since they're applied to completely innocent and funny moments.

Creator's Oddball / int_e5d73aa6	comment	On, the creator of the Grow games and other web games, is mostly known for making games with cute and colorful graphics in Sugar Bowl worlds that are meant to be played by everyone, including and notably children. In 2020, he made his first and currently only R-rated game: Zombie Trapping, which includes zombies and blood and has fewer bright colors than his usual games. It really stands out visually compared to his other games.

Creator's Oddball / int_ee344d3d	comment	Tango Gameworks' first three games were horror games that, while having moments of levity, were serious in tone (The Evil Within, its sequel, and Ghostwire: Tokyo). The studio's fourth game, Hi-Fi RUSH, is an over-the-top action-Rhythm Game hybrid with a very colorful and cartoony art style to match its more comedic atmosphere. The launch trailer even lampshades the extreme contrast:

The grim and dark nature of the sci-fi franchise contrasts even greater when placed alongside most of the other series that co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto oversees, which are all lighthearted and cartoony series (WarioWare, Rhythm Heaven, and Tomodachi Life).

The studio wouldn't do another wholesale adaptation until Delicious in Dungeon in 2024.

Creator's Oddball / int_f78e69f	comment	Chicken Little can be considered another example of Disney imitating the output of a competitor, specifically the DreamWorks Animation films of the early 2000s. A CG cartoon with funny animals, a contemporary setting, snarky and sarcastic humor, lots of movie and pop culture references (including a clip of an Indiana Jones movie for no real reason) does sound like something that Dreamworks would've made at the time. Even the promotional materials were a rare example of Disney spoofing other properties, with parodies of their own The Lion King (1994), Men in Black and even The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) that came out at around the same time.

Creator's Oddball / int_fe6cdec	comment	Nickelback has always been associated with, depending on who you ask, the hard rock community since their debut in 1995. So it was a serious shock for many when their eighth studio album, No Fixed Address, was discovered to heavily feature, of all genres, Disco and Electronica. Their signature sound is not entirely absent from the album, however. On their debut album Curb on the other hand they are virtually unrecognizable, as the music has a much heavier and less commercial Grunge/Alternative Rock sound and Chad's vocal style is quite different.
