Sherlock Yack (also known as, Sherlock Yack, Zoo-detective) is a 2011 animated TV series created by Mondo TV, adapted from the novels of Michel Amelin, illustrated by Ruth Christelle (aka Colonel Mustard).Sherlock Yack is the zoo's manager as well as its detective. As soon as a crime is committed, he investigates with his young assistant, Hermione. With her help, he finds suspects, clues and proofs... while inviting the young viewer to lead the investigation and find the culprit at the same time.Despite the title, it bears little resemblance to its namesake what with being a much Lighter and Softer series with the target audience of ages 6-10 in mind.Compare Sherlock Hound, Basil of Baker Street and The Great Mouse Detective.

comment
Stereotype Flip: In contrast with the Smelly Skunk of fiction, Skunk in this show is a stickler for cleanliness and likes to plant flowers. Lion has a tendency to agree with whatever statement that was recently uttered, rarely forming an opinion of his own and, to top it all off, his large mane is just a wig. King of Beasts he ain't.

 Sherlock Yack / int_113480b7
comment
Canon Foreigner: Sherlock Yack is evidently a Sherlock Holmes lookalike, but none other secondary character is based on one from the book series, not even the medium's version of Watson, who is a younger female in this case. Interestingly, Hermione is sometimes mentioned to be actually the daughter of a friend of his, which might or might not imply jokingly that her father is a Holmes canon character.

Artistic License – Biology
 Sherlock Yack / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Though the show does point out basic animal biology facts, it sometimes gets them wrong. For instance, in "Who Tied up the Octopus?", Octopus is so startled that she releases ink and is then sitting in it all night with no ill effects. In reality, this would have killed her: octopus ink is poisonous to them, hence their need to immediately get away after using it as a distraction.

 Sherlock Yack / int_1b44c21
comment
Gray-and-Grey Morality: In some episodes, it's made clear that the victim is no better than the culprit, especially if said culprit has a good reason for doing said crime in the first place. Sometimes, the one who needs help is also doing some sort of crime which is only revealed when Sherlock is in the case and as a result, both parties can be punished by the end. Thanks to the show's Recurring Extra trope, victims from a past episode can become culprits and vice versa.

The Rival: Zebu if only because he's running against Sherlock for zoo administrator (and for both being the only Bovids in the entire zoo). Played With in "Who Targeted the Tiger?" where Dromedary becomes a one-time detective but fails at finding the clues, investigating the suspects, and pointing out the culprit.

comment
Verbal Tic: The flamingo postman has the tendency to speak in Department of Redundancy Department via two synonyms of a word he just used at the end of a phrase. Doctor Beaky's unintentionally florid diagnoses to describe mostly mundane ailments (i.e. allergic reactions, the hiccups), though he does repeat them in Simple English. Gorilla also has a tendency to refer to everyone as and punctuate his sentences with "buddy". And there's Old Horse and his tendency to... uh... whaddya call it? (Forget?) Yeah, that's it. Hey, wait a minute! Ostrich seems to be incapable of adding proper suffixes to a lot of words, occasionally mixing them up, and replies "yeah, that too" after being corrected.

Ice-Cream Koan: After receiving a box of fortune cookies from Ball of Purity in "Who Cemented the Turtle?", Sherlock spends much of the episode trying to determine the meaning of "In a cloud, destiny guides your footsteps." At the end, it's shown that Ball of Purity pretty much takes a Mad Libs-esque approach to fortunes.

Took a Level in Kindness/Took a Level in Jerkass: Due to the nature of the series, and the rotation of culprits and victims, either trope can apply based on an episode. The former can be justified as characters being humbled after their punishments.

Strictly Formula
 Sherlock Yack / int_3f1aadeb
comment
Strictly Formula: The format of each episodes is as follows: Something bad or out of the ordinary suddenly happens and Sherlock investigates. Sherlock and Hermione find the clues. Sherlock and Hermione investigate three suspects (though there are exceptions as one episode ["Who Sabotaged Mrs. Fennec’s Machine?"] had as many as four). Sherlock quizzes the viewer and recaps the investigation so far in a separate sequence. Sherlock points out the culprit and gives them their "well-deserved punishment" (often involves helping the victim they targeted in the first place).

Compressed Vice: The episodes often feature some particular problem or fault of Sherlock's that is only present in that episode. Such as his fear of water in "Who Sunk the Pelican?", or his obsession with being the "king of recess" in "Who Stuck the Gorilla in the Sand?" Also applies to other characters, which usually factors into the investigated crime.

Interspecies Romance: A recurring (and often episode-specific) element of the show Ostrich and Elephant are in a relationship as of "Who Graffitied Hermione?" Although she spent most of the episode pining for Orangutan. Crane has one-time romantic interests in Pelican and Peacock (the latter of which motivated her to humble him by slicing his feathers). Amusingly, a flashback shows Sherlock trying to seduce Gazelle as part of a test. It works out, until he hogs the drink they were meant to share. Speaking of Gazelle, she and Mrs. Hippo were shown in "Who Cooled Off the Piranha?" to be admirers of Piranha, of all people.

What the Hell Is That Accent?
 Sherlock Yack / int_8829dfa0
comment
What the Hell Is That Accent?: In the English dub, everybody seems to have a vaguely American accent (despite being voiced by UK-based actors) including Hermione (voiced by Teresa Gallagher, an Australian-born voice actress) and Sherlock Yack himself despite being based-off of the very British Holmes (voiced by Tom Clarke-Hill, a UK-based Californian). Meanwhile, a selected few seem to be foreign based on what they sound like when speaking like speedy Cheetah who has an Italian accent; Vampire Bat who has a Spanish accent; the snooty Bird of Paradise who has a French accent and so on.

Not So Above It All
 Sherlock Yack / int_96b89043
comment
Not So Above It All: Sherlock Yack (in a Once an Episode, Flashback sequence) credits his old master Ball of Purity for being able to conquer getting into unimportant matters but as the episodes go on, that turns out not to be the case. Guess his master didn't do a very good job... Despite how she's usually more prone to avoiding this trope, "Who Stuck the Gorilla in the Sand?" has Hermione getting this way, along with Sherlock, about who's the "king/queen of recess".

Straw Misogynist: A Compressed Vice of Sherlock Yack's, as revealed in "Who Ridiculed the Lion?" (albeit formerly or somewhat downplayed). He insists that his old master, Ball of Purity, taught him not to think that way... by having him fight Gazelle, who defeats him after he sorely misjudged her fighting capabilities. Also applies to the Feline Club members Tiger and Bobcat, who have a strict no-girls rule for the sake of the episode.

Accidental Misnaming: Bobcat towards everyone. None of the misnames were even close to their actual names. The show itself did this in "Who Painted the Ostrich?" where Crane was referred to as "Egret". Needless to say, she looked nothing like an egret but they managed to correct themselves in her later appearances.
