Back at the Barnyard is a Nicktoon from the producers of Jimmy Neutron. It premiered on Nickelodeon on September 29, 2007, and it ended on November 12, 2011. Based off the 2006 movie Barnyard, it features the same characters from the film, but deviates by being much Denser and Wackier than the (already plenty wacky) movie. It is set in a (at best) Broad Strokes version of the film's continuity, where the events of the film are never explicitly referenced (and Otis' Love Interest is replaced by a Suspiciously Similar Substitute with the exact same character design, but a personality more suited to comedy).The story centers around Otis, the cow in charge of running the barn, though something of an Ensemble Cast provides enough chaos to keep a steady stream of entertainment flowing through two seasons (with each consisting of 26-episodes). Otis regularly deals with scams gone awry originating from his friends or (more commonly) himself. Other instances have him functioning throughout the human world incognito or dealing with the supposedly psychotic lady who lives next door to the barn who knows they can talk and wants to expose them to the outside world.Nickelodeon apparently didn't think the show was doing good enough for their standards, so they dropped it to Nicktoons Network during its run, where the remainder of the episodes were broadcast. While the show was getting good reviews, it never really became that popular, but it's safe to say that this show gave it its best. | |

Artistic License – Ornithology: Peck is shown to be as affected by the Fire-Breathing Diner as everyone else (except Pip) after eating hot-sauce spiked pizza bagels from Snotty Boy. Birds in real life typically aren't affected by spiciness. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Back at the Barnyard / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Otis (who's established as being a male) is able to produce milk and shoot it out of his udder. The way Freddy admits to his parents that Peck (whom he just saved from becoming their meal) is his best friend, and his parents' reaction from this, obviously parallels word-for-word someone admitting to his parents that he's gay and introducing his partner to them. What makes that one even funnier is the fact that Freddy's voice actor is gay. "Otis Vs. Bigfoot": Otis is initially convinced that Bigfoot's evil and also doesn't truly love Abby—when he confronts the two after they have an Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date, Otis tells Abby that he thinks Bigfoot just wants to eat her and then leave and tell all his friends about it. This basically sounds like Otis claiming that Bigfoot would just love her and leave her. "Four Leaf Otis": A little while after Freddy and Peck got their heads turned into clovers, there's this one instance where Freddy sprinkles Peck with a watering can while the latter is enjoying it. If you listen to the audio while closing your eyes, it will sound more like they're having sex. Same episode: Immediately after the above exchange, we get this gem from Pig whose head was just turned into a corned sandwich. He holds a bottle of mustard and says: | |

Hated Item Makeover: In "Home Sweet Hole", after Otis accidentally destroys Pip's mouse hole and Pip keeps Otis up all night with his wild parties, Pip moves into Pig's stall, since Pig can sleep through anything. To thank Pig for being a wonderful host, Pip decides to clean his stall for him. As a Messy Pig, Pig is horrified when he finds out that Pip cleaned his stall, as it took him years to get it dirty, and he kicks Pip out. | |

Uncatty Resemblance: Snotty Boy once had a pet snake who talked just like him, which Pip lampshades and considers cute. Justified because the snake mentions that Snotty Boy raised him since he hatched. | |

Not-So-Imaginary Friend: In the episode "Mr. Wiggleplix", Pig is distraught over the fact that Otis supposedly killed his imaginary friend of the same name by dropping an anvil on his head. Otis reluctantly dresses up as Wiggleplix to cheer him up, only for the real Wiggleplix to show up at the end of the episode, much to Otis's disbelief. Pig explains that "he can only be seen and heard by those who truly believe, or when flour is poured on him". | |

Back at the Barnyard / int_88d1a9d1 | comment |
Lactating Male: Otis has been shown to be able to make milk in several episodes. In "Aliens!!!", when the animals find out that milk causes the aliens to dissolve, all the cows including Otis attach squirt guns to their udders and start blasting milk at the aliens. Implied in "Animal Farmers". After the farmer is injured, the animals have to do the farming themselves and Abby and Bessy do not want to attach the milking machine to their udders. Otis comes in and attaches it to his udder to demonstrate, saying that he's "seen the farmer do it, like, a hundred times". In "Brave Udders", Otis has a flashback to his childhood bully, Krauser Krebs, poking his udder and causing him to squirt milk on himself. | |

Denser and Wackier: Compared to the Pilot Movienote (which was comparably darker, edgier and more nightmarish but still had some funny moments), this series relies far more on comedy — and it just got weirder and weirder as it went on, which is actually lampshaded by Otis in one of the later episodes. | |

Infection Scene: In "It's An Udderful Life" (the show's Christmas Episode), Otis grabs a visiting Santa Claus a cup of cinnamon eggnog...as the camera lingers on a sign behind the cup saying "Freddy's Cup — DO NOT TOUCH!" Freddy, who is very sick with "ferret fever," comes in asking for the cup, and Santa notices that the cup has Freddy's name on it. Santa's not worried, as he's healthy as they come...then we take a glimpse inside his bloodstream, where Freddy-shaped germs beat up Santa-shaped white blood cells, and suddenly Santa's too sick to work. | |

His friends are rightfully appalled by her treatment of him and plan to get the marriage arrangement dissolved because they know that if Pig marries her and snaps out of his haze afterward, he'll be unhappy and miserable for the rest of his life. | |

Creepy Physical: Almost every appearance of the Vet in the show involves some form of torture on someone's part. Whether she's performing a prostate exam on unsuspecting animals or "flushing out their brain-holes", the Vet always finds a way to top herself in over-the-top medical horror. | |

Shout-Out | |
Back at the Barnyard / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The news reporter Hilly Burford, played by John Dimaggio, is a very clear Expy of Will Ferrell's Harry Caray impersonation on Saturday Night Live. In "The Right Cow", Freddy and Peck, convinced that a space test flight chimp is an alien, try to stop him from invading. Their methods involved giving him the common cold, playing polka to make his head explode, and dumping water on him. | |

Back at the Barnyard / int_cd3a9a0f | comment |
Only One Finds It Fun: In "The Good, the Bad, and the Snotty", Snotty Boy feeds the animals pizza with hot sauce. While everyone else finds it too spicy, Pip thinks it's OK because he was raised in Mexico where eating spicy food is more common and calls the others lightweights. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
Back at the Barnyard / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The original movie could get rather dark at certain points — this show... doesn't, although some episodes subvert their lighthearted laughs with dark plots, like "Snotty's New Pet," where Snotty Boy tries to feed Pip to his snake, or "Hypno-A-Go-Go," where Otis is accidentally hypnotized to kill the farmer at the sound of the bell, and more than half of his attempts almost got Abby killed as well trying to save him. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
Back at the Barnyard / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: In "Fumblebums", the way football is played in that episode seems to break a few rules. When Otis becomes the team mascot for the Cows Football Team, he does things like 1) tell the audience to throw garbage at the field to make the opposing team trip and fall. 2) spray milk from his utters onto the field to make the opposing team slip like on a banana peel. 3) shoot Freddy out of a cannon to deflect the football in midair. Nobody minds this at all, and even news reporter Hilly Burford responds with "These guys take mascoting to the next level!". | |

Back at the Barnyard / int_e0443d9a | comment |
Criminal Doppelgänger: The plot of the aptly named episode "Doggelganger", wherein a dog named Baxter steals Duke's identity in order to escape from the Vet's office. Despite being shorter, thinner, and having a distinctly different voice from Duke's, he manages to fool the entire farm for a good chunk of the episode. Baxter later becomes a minor antagonist in the series, often concocting plans to get revenge on Duke. | |

What follows is a Cutaway Gag where Pig tries to debunk the idea of radiation-induced superpowers by drinking atomic waste himself. He then turns into a green hulking pig monster wearing purple pants and fights the US Army. | |
