Grojband is a Canadian animated music/comedy series produced by Fresh TV (of Total Drama and 6teen fame) and the indie animation company Neptoon Studios. It was created by the founders of Neptoon Studios, the Canadian animation duo Todd Kauffman and Mark Thornton, who were previously known for working on Total Drama's first two seasons, as well as Sidekick (with Total Drama and 6teen creators and Fresh TV founders Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis serving as executive producers for the show).Quirky and charismatic 13-year-old Corey Riffin starts a Garage Band with his best friends, the grounded tomboy Laney Penn and zany non-identical twin brothers Kin and Kon Kujira. However, the newly founded Grojband has a problem: Corey's not good at coming up with lyrics. He just can't think of anything songworthy to write... that is until he finds the Secret Diary of his bratty 16-year-old Big Sister Bully Trina and realizes that her handwritten teenage angst is a goldmine of songwriting inspiration!And so begins the series' formula. In nearly every episode, Corey and his band strike a new musical gig and must create the perfect song that will blow the socks off their audience and help them climb up the ladder to Rock & Roll stardom. However, Trina utterly loathes her little brother's garage band and will stop at nothing to crush their dreams of becoming the greatest band in history. But no matter what challenges Grojband encounters, nothing's going to stop Corey and his friends from doing what they always do best Once per Episode: A) rile up Trina's emotions enough for her to go into "Diary Mode" so she can write down her thoughts; and B) "secretly" take inspiration from Trina's brand-new diary entry to craft the lyrics for an awesome new tune that will truly rock and roll.Grojband made its world debut on June 10, 2013 on Cartoon Network in the United States, being one of many Canadian imports prominent on the channel at the time. The show then came to Canada on Teletoon on September 5, 2013, but by that time, it had already finished airing its first 13 half-hours of episodes in the States. Afterwards, the series suffered from some wonky scheduling, with the second half of the first season being delayed for nearly 2 years. The remaining episodes eventually arrived on February 22, 2015 on Boomerang in the States, with Teletoon airing them a month later. Shortly afterwards however, the series' cancellation was announced, and at only 26 episodes, Grojband stands as Fresh TV's shortest-lived standalone series. While the show never achieved the same levels of success or popularity that Total Drama or 6teen did during its brief life, this wild and offbeat little show nonetheless maintains an immensely passionate cult following.Check out the show's official YouTube channel here. There is also a fairly extensive Wiki and an official production blog.Tropes: | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
Grojband / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Subverted between Corey and Trina most of the time. In "Wish Upon a Jug", one of the genies even says they'll eventually remember that they love each other because "they're family" only to be proven wrong shortly after. That said, Word of God has it that the trope still holds true, and thus it does get played straight on occasion: In "Wish Upon A Jug", Corey wishes they never met the genies, even though at that time the only one who benefited from this wish was Trina. Also, he used a wish to hug her, which, while done to piss her off, one would think out of the question for him if he truly hated her. In "Dreamreaver", Katrina obviously loves Corey, and as the personification of Trina's locked away good side, this would mean so does Trina (if not now, then at least at some point before the show). Corey, previously more concerned about his lyrics, shows genuine remorse for putting Trina in the situation she's in now after seeing this and is apologetic when he confesses the truth to her later. There are also the few times Corey makes Trina go into Happy Diary Mode, indicating that he doesn't want to enrage her all the time. In "Who Are You" when the gang turn Hipster Corey into Caring Corey, he becomes overprotective and concerned with his band's safety so he bubble wraps them and posts them with damage insurance, but later he brings Nick Mallory to Trina actually saying he loved his sister and wanted her to be happy. The trope is played dead straight with Trina and Mina on a few occasions, such as in "Math of Kon", where the two display a genuine friendship when Trina is in her Trigonometrina identity. Despite Nick Mallory's romantic disinterest in Trina, he occasionally displays genuine care for her. One example of this is in "Who Are You", wherein he admits that he likes her for who she is (even if the hipsters don't). | |

Annoying Younger Sibling: Corey is this to Trina, as he drives his older sister crazy so that he can acquire the lyrical inspiration he needs from her diary entries. However, more often than not, Trina is the one to antagonize Corey first and is much nastier to him than Corey is to her. | |

Also The Orb Experience and the Newmans in "Space Jammin'", although the latter did not do so willingly. | |

Laney really hates that everyone keeps thinking she is a guy. In the episode "No Strings Attached", she gets a male puppet (which is dressed exactly like her but with shorter hair, no hair clip, a five o'clock shadow and a long body) and what do the other members of Grojband do when Laney comments on this? Act like it's normal. Kin even says it's the spitting image of her. Another one for Laney: "Sorry Core, [Trina] dissed the band! Nobody disses the band." | |

Although she claims she hates girly things, Laney is a closet Girly Girl and her bedroom is full of girly things. She forbids her friends from entering her room in fear of being exposed.note This is actually heavily implied in the show proper, but never touched upon. The few shots we get of Laney's room reveal stuffed animals and a lot of pink; Trina is also seen catching her wearing a unicorn costume in "Grin Reaper". | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
Grojband / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins/Karma Houdini: There are a few times Trina gets what she wants with no comeuppance, like in "Helmet" when she rigged a raffle to win a giant chocolate diamond. "Six Strings of Evil" frees Corey from the Blue Star of Rocklympus but the town ends up flooding, and the Blue Star, now in the form of a music box, plans on continuing its rampage at the end with the aid of Trina. In "Girl Fest" Laney delivers a Harsh Take That! in the form of a song to Candy Jams in an attempt to out her as a fake. Unfortunately for Laney, this plan fails, and the people still give Candy their full support. The Groupies suffer no consequences at all for kidnapping Grojband and keeping them hostage in "Group Hug". Unless you count them getting tackled by an angry Mina as comeuppance for kidnapping Trina. Played completely straight in "Hear Us Rock!" when Trina manages to sabotage Grojband's plan to save the world from the asteroid. Corey even acknowledges it, to the horror of his friends. However, things turn around when Mina stands up to Trina and gives Grojband what they need to save the day. | |

Borrowed Catchphrase: "Zoohouse Rock" has a running gag of Kin stealing everyone's catchphrases, including Corey's "I've got a crazy plan that might work", Laney's "But wherever will find lyrics?" and even Corey's "Thanks for coming out everyone", where he shoves Corey out of the way. Lampshaded with one Wicked Cool Transition from the episode being called "Stolen Line Transition" (with the transition itself featuring Corey glaring at a smug Kin). | |

Karmic Butt-Monkey: Trina is a colossal Jerkass and Alpha Bitch with a massively self-centered attitude and a Hair-Trigger Temper who abuses her best friend and treats her as a slave while also doing everything she can to ruin her brother Corey's life and crush his dreams. However, the show's very premise is that Corey and his band need to steal her diary for lyrics, which means they put her through constant Muse Abuse and always attempt to drive her nuts so that she'll write in her diary. | |

Character Development: While not a series with a heavy overarching plot, there definitely is some from Grojband in the second half of the series. Most prominently: Corey doesn't address Laney as a boy as much and treats her more like a lady, complete with a few hints that he is aware of her feelings for him and may even share them. Ever since the episode "Girl Fest", Laney has begun lashing out more at Corey and being a bit more rebellious against his plans. | |

No Fourth Wall: The series is very aware of itself, and the fourth wall is broken in pretty much every episode. Every episode even ends with Corey addressing the audience directly as he turns to the viewers and says "Thanks for coming out, everyone!". The fact that Mina's not in the episode "Cloudy with a Chance of Malt Balls" comes back to bite Trina in the butt near the end. | |

Reality Warper | |
Grojband / int_3b99a9e0 | comment |
Reality Warper: Trina is a mild case. Whenever she writes lyrics-worthy entries in her journal, her emotions manifest around her, and strange phenomena takes place depending on the emotion in question. In "A Knight To Remember", the Bonkerton Comet messes with reality when it appears every four years. Grojband's music is capable of raising the dead, breaking people from their brainwashing, increasing the muscle build of some senior folk, breaking a cybernetic network, banishing an evil knight summoned from imagination, ... and basically every un-normal thing that occurs in the series. And how? With The Power of Rock, of course! Trina and Nick Mallory also appear to exert power over bodily functions; Trina and Mina can resist sweating and drooling as "it's for farmers" and Nick Mallory is able to stare away his chickenpox because "Nick Mallory doesn't do spots". According to the intro video in the website, the "Wicked Cool Transition" can teleport characters. Interestingly, Nick once uses his coolness to 'literally cool' the flames that Trina's Diary Mode created. | |

Grojband / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: Most episodes follow a certain pattern — Grojband learns of a new music gig opportunity that Corey announces the band will be playing at, only for a problem to come up (usually Trina's doing). To resolve the problem, Corey and the gang make Trina enter Diary Mode, and then steal the diary to use it as inspiration for the lyrics in the episode's song. Afterwards, Corey delivers a Spoof Aesop and then says "Thanks for coming out everyone!" before closing a garage door to symbolize the end of the episode. | |

However, since this is a series themed around The Power of Rock, Corey's answer is almost always the correct one. | |

Downer Ending | |
Grojband / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: "Hologroj" ends with Trina losing her sanity and believing nothing is real and the town of Peaceville believes Corey, Laney, Kin and Kon are dead, and the real Grojband is a cover band. However, this is never brought again, so it seems the writers pressed the Reset Button. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Grojband / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The writers were clearly still trying to figure out some stuff in the beginning, as the pilot ("Smash Up Terby"), as well as many episodes produced early on (like "Monster of Rock", "Creepaway Camp", "Queen Bee", "Zoohouse Rock", and "One-Plant Band"), contain elements that are slowly dropped or downplayed as the series progressed. The pilot is the ONLY instance where Trina doesn't immediately go diary after getting upset, as well as having Mina openly crush on Nick Mallory in front of Trina. The early episodes have more grossout jokes and Toilet Humor (mainly from Kon) than the later ones. Laney's status as the Butt-Monkey and No-Respect Guy of the band (because Nobody Loves the Bassist) is much more pronounced in early episodes, as is the Running Gag of people misgendering her (which was almost entirely abandoned in the second half of the show) and Corey's obliviousness to her crush on him (which eventually develops more into Will They or Won't They? Ship Tease). Corey's catchphrase "I have a crazy plan that just might work" and habit of creating overly long names for his Zany Schemes are used very prominently in early episodes, but both completely vanish from the show later on. There was a Running Gag of Grojband trying to do a unity chant but completely failing it in a few early episodes that never appears again afterwards. Similarly, several early episodes had Corey's Final Thoughts being accompanied by Disney Creatures of the Farce coming to listen to him, but the gag is completely dropped after a few episodes. Trina's character is much less evil in the first few episodes of the series compared to the later installments, instead simply being a typically bossy and dramatic teenage girl rather than the psychopathic Hate Sink she quickly developed into. Episode plots early on were usually about Corey and his friends trying to get diary lyrics from Trina for their gig of the week (like "Smash Up Terby", "Queen Bee", and "Creepaway Camp"). As the series developed, these types of plotlines were dropped in favor of a broader range of conflicts, with the lyrics issue typically only being addressed in the final act. | |

Invisible Parents: None of the characters' parents ever appear. Trina mentions her and Corey's dad in "Smash Up Terby" (and Word of God states he's a single adopted father) while Kin and Kon mention their parents on two separate occasions, but that's the most we get on them. On the other hand, no word is ever spoken on the subject of Laney's parents. | |

Signature Instrument: Each of the four members of Grojband are associated with a particular instrument: Corey has a red-and-yellow electric guitar with a red strap, Laney uses a bluish-green electric bass guitar, Kin uses a blue keyboard (sometimes a keytar), and Kon uses a red dumset with the band's skull symbol visible on the bass drum. Notably however, when the band does songs in genres outside their usual pop rock style, they often have different designated instruments; for instance, in both of the show's country songs, Corey uses a banjo, Laney uses a washtub bass, and Kin uses a washboard. Laney also has a violin she uses in a few songs while Kin utilizes the turntable on several occasions. | |

Author Appeal: Why the show exists actually. Todd Kauffman has said that his inspiration for the show was simply that he had always wanted to make a cartoon about a garage band. And while he really liked the idea, for the longest time he had no idea how to make it unique and interesting... until he decided the main character should get the inspiration for their songs from his sister's diary. And when he pitched it to Fresh TV, they absolutely loved that idea, and the rest is history as they say. | |

All Love Is Unrequited: Nick Mallory seems to know that Trina has a crush on him. He's just not interested. Laney is in love with Corey, but not only does he not notice, it's often implied that he sees Laney is a guy. However, as the series progresses, the whole "calling Laney a boy" thing is dropped and it becomes increasingly implied that Corey actually has a mutual crush on Laney. | |

Denser and Wackier: Compared to Fresh TV's previous animated shows. Whereas 6teen, Total Drama, and Stōked were relatively grounded teen comedies (although TD less so with each season), Grojband features much more outlandish plots, No Fourth Wall, a lot of Surreal Humor, and much higher energy. | |

Asshole Victim: Trina (on more than one occasion with hilarious results) including but not limited to: being trampolined into a trash can, thrown into a cage at the zoo, becoming Mina's personal Butt-Monkey for an episode, and even having her face turned into a pig. Not to mention the fact that the whole show is about Grojband ruining her life for their music - which would be a horrible thing if it wasn't for the fact that Trina is an incredibly hateable Jerkass who always deserves what she gets. | |

Weirdness Censor: In "Dance of the Dead", Trina is oblivious to the fact that Nick has turned into a zombie and can only see her own fantasies of him, even when he's trying to bite Mina's head. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: After the above happens, the helmet, in its effort to make everything "perfect", uses its ray to fix Corey's cracked voice, allowing the band to promptly defeat it with their imperfectible yodelling in the episode's song. | |

Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: In "All You Need is Cake", when Corey starts to tell the moral of the story like he does at every episode, he starts stuffing his face with cake in the process. Subtitles show up on screen to translate, but quickly just turn all into "Omm nom nom nom omm nom nom." | |

Recycled Animation: The pose of Corey leaning forward with the mic in his hands is reused fairly regularly in episode songs, although the animators do make the effort to change his mouthing to match the lyrics as appropriate. Likewise, the intro shot of Laney rocking out on the bass also makes a few quick cameos in the show proper. | |

Spoof Aesop: Corey delivers one at the end of every episode. Subverted in that while some of the Aesops actually are worth taking into consideration (albeit very lightly), but it's also played straight in other episodes. "Dance of the Dead" ended with an Aesop about how people shouldn't treat zombies the way they're often portrayed in the media. | |

Epic Fail | |
Grojband / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: "Helmet" has Kin giving the eponymous autotuning helmet a big red button that turns it evil. The rest of Grojband call him out on how stupid of an idea it was. In "Space Jammin", instead of using Trina's diary entries as inspiration for lyrics, The Orb Experience literally sings one of them word for word. This ends up revealing Trina's fears that Nick Mallory likes Mina more than her and causing her to go Diary Mode, which consequently allows Grojband to completely thrash the Orbs with their own song "My Secret is Out". In "Queen Bee", after Trina insults the band, Laney uses her rage to fuel her and perfectly destroys her target. Trina tries to one-up her and ends up hitting everything around her EXCEPT the target. | |

Take That!: "Who Are You" is one delivered to Hipster culture in a big way, depicting them as snobbish, apathetic idiots who are simply too afraid to express themselves and live life to the fullest. An In-Universe example: Laney is devastated to find out Singer Candy Jams is using the punk image to sell cosmetics. She later delivers a harsh song to her calling her out. | |

Throwing the Fight | |
Grojband / int_ba112560 | comment |
Throwing the Fight: Grojband's initial plan was to have Laney to do in the episode "Queen Bee". However, the plan falls apart because of Trina's competitive nature causing her to lose, and the fact that Trina crossed the line by dissing the band when she asked Laney "What part of 'Your band stinks!' didn't I say?". For the latter, Laney was not happy about this. | |

Berserk Button | |
Grojband / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Trina has way too many to count, all of which make her go into Diary Mode and help Grojband craft the lyrics to their songs. Laney really hates that everyone keeps thinking she is a guy. In the episode "No Strings Attached", she gets a male puppet (which is dressed exactly like her but with shorter hair, no hair clip, a five o'clock shadow and a long body) and what do the other members of Grojband do when Laney comments on this? Act like it's normal. Kin even says it's the spitting image of her. Another one for Laney: "Sorry Core, [Trina] dissed the band! Nobody disses the band." Corey's known for keeping his cool 99% of the time, but he hates elevator music so much that he got VERY angry after listening to it for a long time. Another for Corey is having his musical dreams stolen from him, whether it be Trina beating him at music and creating a hit song (as seen in "Duelling Buttons", where he ALMOST went into his own version of Diary Mode) or Trina wishing away his ability to play music (as seen in "Wish Upon a Jug", which led to one of the few times in the show he became outright hostile towards Trina) | |

As highlighted in episodes like "All You Need is Cake" and "It's in the Card", Corey, Laney, and the Kujira twins value their collective friendship, their shared love of music and playing tunes together, and the unity of their band more than anything else. Pretty much any time in the series Grojband splits up from a fallout between its members, the show treats it as an extremely grave situation. | |

Crop Circles: In "Space Jammin'", Grojband accidentally creates one when a malfunctioning crop harvester runs rampant in the corn field that they wanted to clear for a concert. It turns to be a message challenging The Orb Experience to a battle of the bands. | |

Friend to All Living Things: Nick Mallory, as his laidback personality and good looks endear him to animals as much as it does to the ladies.

Flanderization: Trina, whose character went from being merely a bossy and overdramatic Bratty Teenage Daughter / Alpha Bitch to an evil, vicious, psychopathic, and just plain monstrous Hate Sink, as exemplified by how she openly boasts about trying to kill Corey and how she sees Mina as more of a disposable minion than a BFF in later episodes. This culminates in the Grand Finale where she tries to stop Grojband from saving the world from being destroyed by a giant asteroid so that she and Nick Mallory will get to be together forever. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Corey is known for being very calm most of the time, so the few times he flips out are always a cause for concern with his friends. In "Love in a Nethervator", the gang gets concerned when Corey angrily arrives at the garage. Laney asks what happened, and... In "Duelling Buttons", Corey absolutely LOSES IT when Trina defeats him at the rhythm game Solo Shredder, and not even Laney's usual comforting can help calm him down. | |

Once per Episode | |
Grojband / int_f05444a4 | comment |
Once per Episode: Trina is overcome with an emotion, causing her to into Diary Mode, and then Grojband uses the new diary entry to perform the episode's song. After that, Corey delivers a Spoof Aesop and then says "Thanks for coming out, everyone!" before slamming a garage door to signify the end of the episode. | |

New Job as the Plot Demands | |
Grojband / int_f21d434a | comment |
New Job as the Plot Demands: Grojband changes what type of band they are in nearly every episode. Mostly done just so they can get performance gigs, while also allowing the show to feature more genres of music than just the band's default rock n'roll. In a more classic example, there is the character of Barney, who periodically provides plot-related help and runs nearly all the businesses that Grojband plays gigs at. His hat always changes to his Job of the Week. Somewhat justified within the show by the fact that he is extremely rich, allowing him to own multiple businesses. | |

Running Gag | |
Grojband / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: This show features quite a few of them. Trina Riffin going into Diary Mode. Corey Riffin giving his end of episode's Spoof Aesop, usually followed by Laney pointing out his speech would have made for excellent lyrics for the episode's song. Trina failing to kiss Nick Mallory. Corey saying an excessively long title for an operation, usually having to stop at some point to take a very deep breath before finishing it. Laney getting mistaken for a guy. Wicked Cool Transitions. Kin and Kon's Rock Lore stories. A random donkey inexplicably appearing in crowd scenes. Barney changing jobs and hats every time he appears. There are some running gags that only occur in one episode. Kin and Kon's future selves in "Cloudy With a Chance of Malt Balls". In "Dance of the Dead", everyone keeps thinking Laney in her normal look is wearing a scary costume. In "Space Jammin'", characters constantly bring up Z'ORB's pancakes. Kin stealing everyone's catchphrases in "Zoohouse Rock". Kin falling over due to the imbalanced proportions of his hat in "Line of Credit" "Six Strings of Evil" has Trina throwing random objects she hates into a wood chipper inexplicably with her. In "Rock the House", Mina kept trying to tell Trina that the team she was cheering for was Grojband, but in the middle of the keyword, Trina would cut her off, screaming a sentence where the first word, finished that keyword. An eagle randomly swooping down and taking something off the ground (mostly a rat) in "The Snuffles with Snarffles". Kon being convinced that he needs tickets to get into Grojband's concert in "A-Capella-Lips Now". | |

Comically Missing the Point: In "Smash Up Terby" when Nick is buying a ticket to the carnival, Trina comes along with Mina and says "Make that three!" Nick misunderstands what she meant and buys three tickets for himself, saving the other two for later. In "Space Jammin'", The Orb Experience learn that Corey gets the lyrics to his songs from Trina's diary and try to do the same, but read an entry verbatim instead of adapting it into lyrics like Corey does. | |

Fun with Subtitles: Near the end of "All You Need is Cake", while the band is eating Barnina Barnley's wedding cake, the mouthfuls of cake cause their voices to become muffled with subtitles to translate what their saying, while you can easily know what they're saying, the subtitles just read "om nom". | |

Brick Joke: Throughout the episode "Cloudy with a Chance of Malt Balls", Kin and/or Kon, whenever someone asks who (or what) caused something or whenever Corey has a plan, respond with, "Our future selves?" or "Does it involve our future selves?".

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
Grojband / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: A rare male example. In "Smash Up Terby" when Trina barfs on a ride turned up to beyond full speed, Nick is the only one who comes out completely clean. Averted with Laney, who gets covered in dirt and has messy hair after an explosion occurs in "Helmet". Invoked by Trina in "Inn Err Face". Kin and Kon have to get out of Trina's body before their shrinking wears off. The band tries to make Trina sweat them out and then drool them out, but she adamantly refuses to do either one because they are "for farmers", even making a bead of sweat go back into her skin with a Death Glare. | |
