Once upon a time, there lived a Mad Scientist who spent his weary days on a secluded tropical island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. To occupy his time, he created mutants, Mix-and-Match Critters, and other biological abominations that stood against all notions of sanity and common sense. But it was only a matter of time until the judicial system caught whiff of the whole situation and arrested him for his crimes against nature and "good taste". With their master forever gone from their lives, the genetic hybrids and oddities he made, with only limited knowledge of the outside world and its customs, are left to form a society of their own. Of course, Hilarity Ensues.Spliced is a crazy Canadian animated television series from Nelvana that was created by cartoon writers Simon Racioppa and Richard Elliott (who had previously also developed Grossology for television). Inspired by H. G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau and the Zany Cartoons of decades past, the series is headed by two best friends, the naïve optimist Peri (a failed experiment of The Doctor with a genetic makeup unknown even to himself) and the self-centered gourmand Entree (a walking amalgamation of cow, pig, chicken, and shrimp made to be the perfect food animal). While neither of the two are especially bright (Entree moreso than Peri), they do find plenty of shared misadventures around the setting of Keepaway Island lead to all manner of insane occurrences and wacky mishaps.As every bit as bizarre as the things that happen around Keepaway Island however is Peri and Entree's ensemble of co-stars. Thse include: Two-Legs Joe, the ill-tempered front half of a rhinoceros who acts as "mayor" for the mutants; Patricia, a platypus who also happens to be the most normal creature on the island; Mister Smarty Smarts, a chimpanzee-dolphin and self-declared brainiac with dreams of island domination (usually accompanied by his henchmutant Octocat); Fuzzy Snuggums, a Ridiculously Cute whatsit whose love of exploring is only matched by his terrible luck, and Princess Pony Apehands, a hulking brute with the body and strength of King Kong and the head and mindset of My Little Pony. Oh, and there's also a super-genius computer-horse who moves and talks like Stephan Hawking, a literal Killer Rabbit with More Teeth than the Osmond Family that sometimes tries to eat the other characters, swineapples, whale-squirrels, an active volcano, and plenty of leftover bits of killer tech from the Doctor's lab, among other strangeness. One thing's for certain though. With a cast of creatures as deranged as the scientist who created them living on island that can be called anything except ordinary, you can only imagine how madcap things can get.The series saw broad international distribution throughout 2009, running on Qubo in the United States, Disney XD in Latin America and Spain, Nickelodeon in Scandinavia, ABC3 in Australia, and Nicktoons in the British Isles, among other places. In fact, the show would not arrive in its native Canada until April 2010, where it aired on Teletoon. However, it was canceled after a single season of 26 episodes, despite getting some very good ratings in its home country. Nonetheless, the show is fondly remembered by a decent number of people, even if it remains one of Nelvana's more obscure creations.And no, this is not an Animated Adaptation of the sci-fi horror film Splice, even if they do both feature genetically-engineered hybrid freaks of nature.Compare to Disney's The Wuzzles, another short-lived animated series about Mix-and-Match Critters.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Spliced / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In the episode "Pink", Peri wakes up one day and finds out that he has turned the color pink (instead of his usual orange), and Entree does not want to be his friend anymore because of this. The metaphor is heightened by the fact that Entree thinks that being around Peri will turn him pink, and indeed has a nightmare in which this happens.

 Spliced / int_1ae4bc74
comment
Creating Life Is Unforeseen: Played for Laughs in the episode "Bowled Over". Peri makes a sandwich, which then randomly grows insect-like legs and wings and begins attacking people. Later, he attempts to fix Patricia's car, but he ends up giving it sentience instead. In the episode "Living Hellp", Entree attempts to microwave a microwave, which results in the microwave coming to life and attacking him.

We Want Our Idiot Back!: In "Outsmartered", Mister Smarty Smarts builds a machine to make everyone on Keep Away Island as smart as he is. It ends up working too well, and makes everyone smarter than he is while making him look dumb in comparison. After failing to build a machine to make everyone dumb again, Smarty Smarts then uses a time machine to go back in time and stop himself from ever building the first machine that made everyone smarter.

"Freaky Friday" Flip
 Spliced / int_36754cc7
comment
"Freaky Friday" Flip: Occurs between Entree and a whirrel he named Ed in the episode "Whirrel Call", thanks to their brains getting knocked into each other's skulls in an accident. Entree even lampshades the usual conventions of these kinds of plots, although contrary to what he believes will happen, he and the whirrel greatly enjoy being in each other's bodies and have no interest in switching back at least until the whirrel elders order "Ed" to kill "Entree" for abusing them. Ultimately, Entree and Ed have their brains knocked out of their skulls again... but their bodies are destroyed before they can be put back, leaving them as talking brains. Interestingly, while Entree hears himself speaking in his own voice in Ed's body, everyone else just hears whirrel noises, whereas Ed speaks in a very different voice from that of Entree while in his body.

Played straight in a number of episodes that give Entree some flaw that's never mentioned before or after. Lampshaded in "Juice":

Time-Freeze Trolling Spree: Inverted and Played for Laughs. When Peri gets a sugar rush he starts moving at Super-Speed so to him it look like everyone is frozen in time. He then spends his time doing good deeds to everyone, thinking they'll be appreciative and throw him a parade, except when he returns to normal time, nobody believes he was the one who did everything.

"Anger Is Healthy" Aesop
 Spliced / int_74463f7f
comment
"Anger Is Healthy" Aesop: In the episode "Stompabout", Two-Legs Joe loses his temper over Peri and Entrée accidentally causing a whirrel to destroy half the town and ends up wrecking the other half chasing the duo, with Joe resigning as mayor and leaving when Patricia and the townsfolk call him out on it. While in his self-imposed exile, Lord Wingus Eternum discusses with Joe that the latter has had anger management issues since he was a kid, that a mayor does not need a temper to do his job evidenced by Peri and Entrée voluntarily cleaning up without Joe being around to yell at them to do so, and that there would be potentially disastrous consequences if Joe chooses to either just stay angry all the time or never get angry again (Joe becomes a tyrant with giant robot legs and sinks the island in the former situation and everyone is enslaved by Fuzzy Snuggums in the latter, despite Wingus admitting to having made both of them up and Joe getting sidetracked by how cool his future self's robot legs were). In the end, Joe comes to the conclusion that he should keep his anger in moderation instead of going to one extreme or the other, demonstrated when he lets himself get angry just enough to be able to chase the destructive whirrel pack out of town that were later summoned by Peri and Entrée out of the idea that more of them would help fix everything that was destroyed by the first one.

Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery: In "Stuck Together", Peri thinks his purpose is to be best friends with Entree. This works out decently for the two at first, but eventually Peri takes a turn for the creepy and starts following Entree wherever he goes, frustrating him to the point that he uses one of the doctor's inventions to merge them together and teach him a lesson about not stalking him.

"Stompabout" has two in-universe examples from Wingus about getting angry. First, that if Joe doesn't learn to control his anger, he'll become a cyborg and sink the island with his robot legs. Second, that if he is too determined not to get angry, Fuzzy will become a Super-Soldier and take over the island (the latter became a Chekhov's Gun in "Sgt. Snuggums", which itself was an example: "Don't play pranks on your friends or they'll turn into insane Super Soldiers who see everyone as evil robots that need to be destroyed")

Art Shift A very discreet example. Any episodes that gives Lord Wingus Eternum a speaking role give him a more detailed look (i.e: more frayed hair, longer beak, and eyes in a half-lidded expression). The source picture for this page shows how Wingus looks when he's silent/just there. And when he speaks...◊ The animation briefly switches over to stop-motion in the beginning of "Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble".

comment
A Day in the Limelight: The show is primarily about Peri and Entree, but many episodes feature the supporting cast in starring roles. These are typically labelled as "A ____ Cartoon". Princess Pony Apehands is actually the first character to receive them, these being "No Play for Princess" and "Fairly Odd Princesses". She quickly fell Out of Focus afterwards however. Mister Smarty Smarts gets "Outsmartered" and "Come to the Dork Side". Additionally, two episodes labelled as "A Mister Smarty Smarts Cartoon" actually focus primarily on his henchmutant Octocat, these being "Octocataclysm" and "Of Masters and Minions". Two-Legs Joe is the star in "Two-Arms Joe", "Stompabout", "There Will Be Stomp", and "Same Difference" (although he shares the last one with Smarty Smarts). Additionally, "One-Joe Wingus", while labelled as "A Two-Legs Joe Cartoon", is focused on Lord Wingus Eternum, the bird on his rump. Patricia is the main character of "Honorary Freak", "Marzipan Meadows and the Kingdom of Adventure", and "Living Hellp". Fuzzy Snuggums has "Fuzzy's Great Journey" and "Sgt. Snuggums" Additionally, there are episodes that use the "A Peri & Entree Cartoon" label all regular episodes use, but are actually primarily focused on more minor secondary characters. The first is "Cube Whacked", which is focused on Compuhorse, and the second is "My Fair Sharkbunny", which puts the Wunny Sharbit in the spotlight (even giving it the ability to speak just for the episode, thanks to a Translator Collar).

Toothbrush Floor Scrubbing: In "Of Masters and Minions", Mr Smarty-Smarts new robotic minion makes him clean the lair with a toothbrush. He is so scared of her that when the toothbrush breaks, he starts using his tongue.

Weirdness Magnet: Keepaway Island. From what we see, the rest of the world is relatively normal, but Keepaway Island itself just plain bonkers. And that's ignoring the mutants who inhabit it.

Shout-Out
 Spliced / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The general concept of the series is meant to be one to The Island of Doctor Moreau, but the show also has plenty of more specific examples. Entree sees the Wunny Sharbit in the episode "Cleaning Up" as wearing a Goaltender mask. Interestingly, that depiction of Wunny is in the theme song, despite it not actually existing. In the episode "Nightmare On Condemned Street", Entree says "I have the power!" Peri says the same line in "Bowled Over". In "Nightmare On Condemned Street", Entree says "Do or do not." In "Come to the Dork Side", Mr. Smarty Smarts tries to get Peri to join his cause, by strapping him to an electrical chair, forcing him to watch violent scenes, preventing him from blinking, and washing his brain with shampoo. It doesn't work. One of Entree's udders is the cane wielding Cranky. The original Donkey Kong games in "Octocataclysm". Pac-Man in "Honorary Freak". The entire plot of Cube Whacked involves a video game similar to Breakout. In "Pork Chop", Entree says "A winner is me" from the NES game Pro Wrestling. Peri's Rainbow is to The Red Balloon. Kilroy, the famous graffiti man, appears in Follow your Dreamworms. Mr. Smarty does the head crushing thing in two episodes. Compu-Peri's outfit was very reminiscent of TRON. There's a Bond-esque laser scene in Of Masters and Minions...only it works. Same episode, Mr. Smarty holds a radio over his head like in Say Anything.... In Nightmare on Condemned Street, Mr. Smarty can be seen wearing a Suzie Diamond style dress and slinking seductively towards Peri, Entree and Fuzzy in one of the dream visitations. The ensuing flee was quite understandable ( Suzie Diamond is a porn star). The "Knowing is Growing" segments are rather like those "The More You Know" ones. Patricia's mother computer acts an awful lot like HAL and/or GLaDOS. The Count of Pinchy Crabbo is a whole plot reference to The Count of Monte Cristo. The board game Clue appears in a whirrel's intestines as a clue to the Blargy Parble. The title card to the episode One Joe Wingus is a clear shout out to the Pixar short For the Birds. Calcu-Pony makes fun of the ridiculously stupid early generations of My Little Pony. "You got computer in my horse! You got horse in my computer!" from "Two Arms Joe" is a reference to 70's Reese's commercials.

Grossout Show: While the show does not venture into grossout territory super frequently, but it can get pretty nasty when it does, with stuff like miles of snot, exposed brains, the sounds of stretched limbs slowly tearing apart, and the occasional inside-out bodies.

Company Cross References: In "Same Difference", one clip in Smarty-Smarts and Joe's montage shows the both of them watching Grossology, which was created by the same people, and by extension the same company (Nelvana, in this case). In "Come to the Dork Side", Peri and Entree watch another Nelvana cartoon, Di-Gata Defenders, on Mister Smarty Smarts' movie theater screen at the end of the episode.

Temporal Duplication: Mr. Smarty Smarts uses a time machine to go back and prevent his past self from creating an intelligence enhancing machine to make all mutants as smart as him. The two eventually play chess against each other only for one to get upset at the results. Cue another Smarty Smarts coming in to prevent a chess move followed by more and more.

Additionally, there are episodes that use the "A Peri & Entree Cartoon" label all regular episodes use, but are actually primarily focused on more minor secondary characters. The first is "Cube Whacked", which is focused on Compuhorse, and the second is "My Fair Sharkbunny", which puts the Wunny Sharbit in the spotlight (even giving it the ability to speak just for the episode, thanks to a Translator Collar).

Space Whale Aesop: The show seems to love this trope. Lampshaded in "Roots": "I promise I'll never be lazy enough to turn into a tree again!" "Cleaning Up": "Have good hygiene or your dirt will take on a life of its own and try to replace you" "Stompabout" has two in-universe examples from Wingus about getting angry. First, that if Joe doesn't learn to control his anger, he'll become a cyborg and sink the island with his robot legs. Second, that if he is too determined not to get angry, Fuzzy will become a Super-Soldier and take over the island (the latter became a Chekhov's Gun in "Sgt. Snuggums", which itself was an example: "Don't play pranks on your friends or they'll turn into insane Super Soldiers who see everyone as evil robots that need to be destroyed") "Amazon": "Take proper care of your pets or they'll form their own civilization where you're a wanted criminal" "Juice": "Don't be too determined to be popular or all your friends will turn into juice-obsessed zombies" "Promises, Promises": "Fulfill your promises or your best friend will have his brain stolen by a Mad Scientist in order to power a toaster" "Taste of Friendship": "Don't be jealous of your friends or your mind will be taken over by an evil squid" "Sugar Low": "Don't eat too much sugar or time will stop" "The Mutants Who Cried Monster": "Admit to your mistakes or a giant robot will destroy your hometown" "Livin' La Vida Lava": "Don't use too much power or you'll trigger an ice age in which yetis become the dominant species" "Mo' Mayo, Mo' Problems": "Don't eat too much junk food or the junk food will eat you" "Walkie-Talkie-Spinesuckie": "Think for yourself or a mad scientist will make you suck out all your friends' spines to feed a baby robot and then throw them in the volcano" "Whirrel Call": "Don't be cruel to animals or you'll swap brains with them" "Stomach on Strike": "Live a healthy lifestyle or your organs will become sentient and jump out of your body" "Bite, Shuffle and Moan": "Stay in bed when you're sick or you'll cause a Zombie Apocalypse"

Snap Back: Several episodes end in manners that inevitably result in one. In "Walkie-Talkie Spinie-Suckie", basically everyone except Peri, Entree, and Octocat permanently lose their spines in a volcano. "Clones Don't Care 'Bout Nothin' Either" had the entire island engulfed with deformed clones of Peri and Entree. "Sgt. Snuggums" had a overpowered and deranged Octocat bombing the island with Fuzzy's rocket. "Bite, Shuffle, and Moan" had everyone except Peri being infected by zombies. "Two-Arms Joe" had Peri losing his arm and Joe giving him a giant robotic one. "Pork Chop" had Entree getting the ability to walk removed from his brain. "Whirrel Call" had Entree falling to his death and then having his brain fly out of his head and getting crushed by a boulder. "Mole-sters In the Mist" had the entire shrunken town being enslaved by overgrown mole-sters.

Brick Joke In "Gordon", Entree replaces a car's engine with the brain of one of Smarty Smarts' robots, and then puts a sandwich in place of the brain. The episode then ends with a trailer for a horror movie about "The Robot with a Sandwich for a Brain!". Later in "Honorary Freak", Entree steals Smarty Smarts' brain scanning machine and replaces it with a sandwich, prompting Smarty Smarts to ask "Again? Who keeps doing that?" The boxers Peri and Entree stole from the Doctor's lab in "Stomach On Strike". Entree told Peri the boxers didn't fit him, and was interrupted before he could tell him the whereabouts of it. About a minute later, when Entree's stomach climbs out of his body, it barfs out the muffins Entree was trying to digest, and a pair of boxers.
