Cupcake & Dino: General Services is a Brazilian-Canadian animated series produced by Canada's Entertainment One and Atomic Cartoons with Brazil's Birdo Studio for Netflix and Teletoon. It is the brainchild of Pedro Eboli, a Brazilian animator who also created Cartoon Network Brazil's Oswaldo and would later make Nelvana's Ollie's Pack.The show follows the titular Random Species Offspring Sibling Team, Cupcake, a little pink cupcake with big dreams and a short temper, and Dino, an excitable yellow dinosaur who is the younger and larger of the two (voiced by Canadian comedians Justin Collette and Mark Little respectively). When not working at the family grocery store run by their hardworking uncle Chance and feisty Grandma Steak, the brothers are taking on gigs for their side job — their very own "general services" business, in which they can be hired for any kind of odd job by interested clients (as organized by the pair's lovable manager Hugo).Together, the quirky but industrious pair are eager to take on every kind of job the people of their fair town of Big City (run by their teenage friend Mayor Vicky and populated by all manner of beings) have to offer for them, no matter how big or small. Whether they're delivering pizza, tracking criminals, volunteering at a retirement home, or housesitting a Smart House, Cupcake and Dino will always find a way to make an adventure out of their work and have as much fun as they can while they're at it - even if they occasionally have to deal with the machinations of their general services rival, an arrogant chicken named Peetree Gluck III, or Uncle Chance's sly business competitor, Sneaky Stan.The series was released on Netflix on July 27th, 2018, and then debuted on Teletoon on September 4th, 2018. A second season debuted on May 3, 2019. However, it ultimately proved to be the series' final season, concluding the show after 26 episodes despite the series garnering some good viewership and plenty of critical acclaim (The New York Times even called it one of the Top 10 Best New TV Shows of 2018). | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Cupcake & Dino: General Services / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: According to Pedro Eboli, Uncle Chance's obsession with the Grocer's Creed and going by the book in "Uncle Chance: General Servicer" is meant to be one for people who follow religious texts as literally as possible rather than interpreting them in relevant ways. This is well reflected in his chat with the Head Lettuce at the end of the episode, who explains to him how the Grocer's Creed should be used as a guideline for self-help rather than being blindly obeyed. | |

The Wonka: Cupcake and Dino themselves are both immeasurably quirky (the latter in a more immediately noticeable way) and don’t take themselves seriously at all, but they’re good enough at adapting to whatever odd jobs they get that they can keep their business afloat with little trouble. | |

| Cupcake & Dino: General Services / int_1dcc7916 | comment |
Forced Creativity: In the episode "Cupsy", Dino ends up stuck on a chandelier with blue paint on his face. The next day, people see it and assume it's an art piece, which the owner wants to keep. He'll agree to let him go, however, if Cupcake can make a more impressive piece of artwork. Cupcake's attempts aren't as impressive, though, which causes his popularity to plummet. | |

Absurd Phobia | |
| Cupcake & Dino: General Services / int_5892169d | comment |
Absurd Phobia: Cupcake has a lot of phobias in general, and some of them fall into this practically by default. Two known ones are bicycles and anchovies. Dino is also afraid of olives. Cupcake's fear of Santa Claus appears to be this, but it's revealed eventually that this one has a rather rational basis - when Cupcake was younger, he tried to wait up all night for Santa. However, he fell asleep, and Santa thought Cupcake was just a non-sentient foodstuff... and tried to eat Cupcake. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The more serious and short-tempered Cupcake is the Responsible Sibling to the energetic and excitable Dino's Foolish Sibling. However, Cupcake does have his moments of being less mature than Dino, with the latter typically stepping in the reins of control when that occurs. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
| Cupcake & Dino: General Services / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Cupcake apparently has a lot of fears, and Peetree attempts to invoke three of them (heights, bicylces, and anchovies) to force Cupcake and Dino to take more than 30 minutes to deliver his pizza to force them to follow up on their claims to pay for a delivery over that time themselves. Peetree didn't count on Cupcake's biggest fear, though - failing a general service. | |

Mundane Made Awesome | |
| Cupcake & Dino: General Services / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: Many of the general services that the titular duo get hired for start simply enough, but they quickly escalate into ridiculous levels of action. In particular, the episode "The Pizza Man Always Rings 6000 Times" features this all over the place - a pizza place's guarantee to give a free pizza if the delivery takes more than 30 minutes has escalated in people setting all sorts of ridiculous traps to delay delivery, which results in the pizzeria hiring Cupcake and Dino to be new delivery boys and take even more ridiculous steps to evade them. It ends with Cupcake riding a bicycle off of a skyscraper to throw a pizza to a helicopter-riding Peetree before the latter can escape. Cupcake succeeds. | |

Cool Old Lady: Grandma Steak plays high-stakes Mozoko, continues to date in her older years, regularly works out, keeps up with modern slang and drives a dune buggy. Uncle Chance doesn’t quite qualify as much as his mother, but he was a Fabio-esque “book hunk� in his youth and can still dramatically ride horses into the sunset without missing a beat. | |

Anthropomorphic Food: Cupcake and Grandma Steak. "Cupcake Days" shows that there are quite a few, enough that being a cupcake apparently counts as an ethnic group. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Cupcake & Dino: General Services / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Peetree the Third, a Southern-accented rooster, is a Jerkass with virtually no redeeming features, and not even a Pet the Dog moment. He's not evil, but he's hated In-Universe and out as well. He's treated more as a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis than a true villain, though. | |

Jerkass: Peetree, to a large extent. While yes, he is a professional rival to Cupcake and Dino, he frequently will go out to antagonize the two just for the sake of it. | |

A Dog Named "Dog": You're never gonna mistake the main characters for each other, that much is certain. This is also true of Grandma Steak, who is indeed a kindly sentient slab of meat. | |
