Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A CGI-animated series created by Nickelodeon's Janice Burgess and broadcast worldwide, mostly on Nick Jr. and its parent network. The series was based on a live-action pilot from 1998 titled "Me and My Friends." It premiered in 2004 and ran for four seasons, the last of which finished airing in 2013.The cast are all young Funny Animal friends: Uniqua the "uniqua" (a one-of-a-kind species), Pablo the penguin, Tyrone the moose, Tasha the hippo, and Austin the kangaroo. All five live in what appears to be a suburban neighborhood with a large common backyard area.We open on one or more of the characters in the backyard playing "pretend", setting up the scenario for the viewer in a song and dance which exemplifies the episode's musical genre. Then things segue into a sort of holodeck-style fantasy — whether in the kids' imaginations or literally isn't quite clear — in which the backyard is transformed into the setting of the story and the characters dressed in appropriate costumes. From here the quest is treated entirely as if it were real...albeit clearly based on a child's logic...and frequently interrupted by musical asides.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Most episodes feature typical fantasy scenarios — cowboys, superheroes, pirates, explorers — but some are more sophisticated, and in later seasons especially several are full-on parodies of adult action-adventure: James Bond, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, etc. Further blurring the line between reality and imagination, the setting they create doesn't always stay within their control. Characters who weren't seen initiating the fantasy frequently show up within it, occasionally operating completely unbeknownst to the others, and the different plotlines collide in unexpected ways. The only consistent requirement is that a story contain no more than five humanoid characters, since no other speaking parts appear (excepting pets and a couple one-offs in specials).There seem to be no space or time limits while the fantasy is in progress, but in reality it never lasts longer than an afternoon, since it's always dispelled by somebody's tummy conveniently rumbling just after the adventure ends. They race home for snacks, the story setting disappearing behind them as they go. The only indication that anything out of the ordinary just happened is Tyrone's comment: "That was an excellent _________ adventure, don't you think?"Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Notable for its heavy use of original music (overseen by Lounge Lizards founder Evan Lurie), in a different genre — and usually not the one you're expecting — in each episode. The photorealistic dance moves that have likewise become a series trademark are originated by live-action dancers performing as each character to that show's music; according to the creators, this process also gives the characters much of their individual personalities. | |

Debut Queue | |
The Backyardigans / int_14450636 | comment |
Debut Queue: Nick Jr. invoked this by choosing "Knights are Brave and Strong" as the premiere episode in America; each of the cast is introduced one by one, followed by the concept of everyone going to one character's house for a snack at the end. There's cause intended as the first episode, as it's one of the only episodes not to have the "stomach growling" sound effect at the end of the fantasy. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
The Backyardigans / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Tyrone song "When I'm Booin', from "It's Great to be a Ghost", has an album-only verse about his ineptitude at scaring which could just as easily be about his being unable to impress girls. The dance break in the televised version of the song must have been inserted in place of said verse. | |

Tempting Fate: In the episodes "Follow that Butterfly" and "Chichen-Itza Pizza", the question "How hard could it be?" gets asked just before things go to hell. Pablo has a bad habit of this in "For the Love of Socks". It gets lampshaded after the third time, and he defies it afterwards. | |

The Backyardigans / int_17e953b4 | comment |
Go-Getter Girl: Uniqua's house is in the center of the titular backyard; she's the only character to appear in every single episode and almost never takes a backseat. If we can say any of this group is the leader, it's her. Tasha was described on an official webpage as a "CEO type" a "tough as nails, my-way-or-the-highway kind of gal." When she's not playing the role of someone in authority, she'll usually find a way to be assertive anyway. | |

The Voice: The mystery voices near the end of the episodes "Secret Mission" and "It's Great to Be a Ghost!" do not come from any of the main characters. They're rumored to have come from Evan Lurie, one of the show's composers. There are also announcer voices near the beginning of "News Flash". Dragon's singing voice is provided by guest star Adam Pascal, the actor who played Roger in RENT. Total Parent Service. Santa Claus in "The Action Elves Save Christmas Eve" is heard over the phone, but never seen. | |

Reality Ensues: In "Pirate Treasure", Pablo's peg leg affects his ability to walk. In "Blazing Paddles", Pablo steals everyone else's Ping-Pong paddles so that they cannot play Ping-Pong. He soon realizes that he cannot play either as he needs an opponent. At the beginning of "Attack of the 50 Foot Worman", Pablo mixes blue and orange paint, thinking it will make blue-and-orange-striped paint. Instead, it makes brown paint. | |

Appease the Volcano God: "The Legend of the Volcano Sisters" revolves around the three boys trying to figure out what the titular sisters want the most or else the volcano will erupt destroying the Luau. Austin realizes that Uniqua and Tasha want to be invited to the boys' Luau. | |

Door Dumb | |
The Backyardigans / int_23386799 | comment |
Door Dumb: "Knights Are Brave and Strong" contains a particularly silly example. Uniqua the Pink's second challenge is getting through the gate the Guardian of the Gate guards, a feat no one has ever done before. Even the Guardian himself is unable to open the gate. Completely impenetrable, right? Nope— it's just that nobody thought of pulling on the Gate's handles instead of pushing. A minor example later in the same episode calls back to that scene. Upon finally reaching King Austin's castle, Tyrone tries to pull open the door, but fails. Pablo (the aforementioned Guardian) then steps up and pushes it, and it opens easily. | |

The Un-Reveal: In "The Masked Retriever", none of the other characters find out about Uniqua's alter ego, with Austin's question of "Have you ever heard of the Masked Retriever?" left unanswered by the end-of-story stomach rumble. Played as a Tear Jerker in "The Secret of Snow". At the end when Tasha reveals that she doesn't know the secret of snow, Uniqua is sad because her journey has been rendered useless. Until she realizes that she has made four great friends. | |

Anachronism Stew: Tons. It's Justified because the entire premise of the show is based around five kids using their imaginations to have adventures. A particularly ridiculous example is "Break Out!": the story takes place at a tower in a high fantasy world... that happens to have a Laser Hallway, security cameras, an elevator, and guards with radio headsets. | |

Funny Background Event: Tons. In "News Flash", during one of Uniqua's reports Pablo is having a panic attack in the background. In "Movers of Arabia", Pablo screaming his head off while being dragged behind a flying carpet as Uniqua takes a phone call from Sultan Tyrone. In "Who Goes There?", when Tyrone sings the second part of the song that shares the title of the episode, you can see the art coming to life and imitating his moves. | |

Playing Against Type | |
The Backyardigans / int_3a10b632 | comment |
Playing Against Type: In-universe. The usually calm Tyrone plays a lot of hot-tempered roles in season 2, while the usually excitable Pablo plays a lot of The Comically Serious roles in season 3. Whenever this happens, it's nothing short of hilarious. | |

Record Needle Scratch: In "Blazing Paddles". The exciting background music suddenly screeches to a halt when Pablo asks "Uh...when is high noon?". In "Monster Detectives", Tyrone stars to lead Uniqua on a journey to get her soccer ball back, but Uniqua's doesn't know where they're headed, so the usual scenery transformation music fizzles out on the first try. | |

Early Installment Weirdness | |
The Backyardigans / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: The first episode used a different font for the opening credits than later episodes. Uniqua had a slight case of Elmuh Fudd Syndwome in early episodes. In "Pirate Treasure", she says "You can tell I'm a piwate because...", and in "The Heart of the Jungle", she calls herself "Professor Uniqua, the bwilliant scientist". In Season One, the characters stood still while the background transformed around them. In one instance, the background changed before the transformation music started. In Season Two onwards, the characters started running into the yard while the background transformed, and appeared in their fantasy clothes once the transformation was complete. The first villain was mermaid Tasha in "Viking Voyage". Unlike most other villains, she is not hammy nor does she pull a Heel–Face Turn. | |

PilotEpisode | |
The Backyardigans / int_552b5288 | comment |
Pilot Episode: "Fly Girl", if you mean literally. There's some debate over what the true pilot of the series is: there's "Pirate Treasure" and "Knights Are Brave and Strong" (the first episode of the first season, depending on where you live) in addition to an unaired (and unnamed) animated pilot from 2001 and a 1998 live-action pilot titled "Me and My Friends." Confusingly, all four of these have been given the title of "pilot" by the people behind them. | |

Dark Is Not Evil / Bright Is Not Good: In "The Masked Retriever", Uniqua plays the title character, who wears a black costume and rides a black horse. Austin, on the other hand, wears a brighter suit of clothes. Guess which one is the hero of the episode and which one is the villain. | |

Girls vs. Boys Plot | |
The Backyardigans / int_5f7e03b7 | comment |
Girls vs. Boys Plot: A handful of episodes take the concept of the Gender-Separated Ensemble Episode one step further and have the two sets of best friends working in direct opposition to one another: "The Snow Fort", "The Quest for the Flying Rock", "The Legend of the Volcano Sisters", "Eureka!", "Into the Deep", and "Break Out". The majority of these episodes don't feature Austin at all, and when he does show up, he tends to go to whichever side needs a third person. For example, he serves as an assistant for the girls in "Break Out!", but sides with the boys in "The Legend of the Volcano Sisters", as he views them as his "brothers" therein. This works out favorably, as the day is saved by Austin reaching out to the girls. | |

I Have Your Boss: In "International Super Spy", this was done in the complete 1-7 sequence: 1. Boss (Tasha) is kidnapped. 2. Villain (Uniqua) calls up hero (Pablo) and says "I've got your boss". 3. Tasha yells "Don't worry about me! I can take it!" 4. Uniqua tells Pablo that if he doesn't obey orders, then she will tickle Tasha. 5. Pablo must deliver the secret containers. 6. Pablo succeeds in calling a friend (Austin), who in turn finds out what's going on and swings into action to help... sort of. 7. Eventually, Tasha is released... because Pablo isn't ticklish. | |

That Poor Cat: Happens in the double-length episode "International Secret Super Spy" when The Lady in Pink's secret headquarter lights end up dying from The Lady Pink pushing on the tickle table button several times. The Lady to Pink orders Henchman Tyrone to activate the emergency lights. While doing so, Henchman Tyrone crashes off-screen and we hear the screeching cat noise. It also happens in "Catch That Train!" when Czar Tyrone's train ends up in a tunnel while Uniqua and Pablo go off after it. We hear a cat screeching, along with a chicken clucking, a telephone ringing, and a weird talking device. | |

Evil Laugh | |
The Backyardigans / int_68068108 | comment |
Evil Laugh: Tasha's in "Scared of You", Pablo's in "Le Master of Disguise", "Blazing Paddles" and "Robot Rampage", and Uniqua's in "International Super Spy". Austin finally gets one in "Flower Power" when he portrays "Gloom Meister," though in a possible bit of Lampshade Hanging, he is forced to admit that it's not his real laugh (he just does it to sound scarier). His real laugh sounds much nerdier. | |

Knight of Cerebus | |
The Backyardigans / int_6a47a1e2 | comment |
Knight of Cerebus: Pablo in the two-part "Robot Rampage" episode. The first part was as lighthearted as most episodes of preschool shows, with Pablo only making a few casual appearances. But towards the end of the first part, he properly introduced himself via a Villain Song. He has a much more active role in the second part, which has a much more grim tone. | |

Shabby Heroes, Well-Dressed Villains: In "Blazing Paddles", Uniqua's sheriff uniform is much dustier than Pablo's outlaw uniform. In "The Great Dolphin Race", Uniqua wears a plain stable girl outfit and Tyrone wears a sleek racing uniform. In "Pablor and the Acorns", the kind Acorn Scouts wear dusty scout uniforms and space dictators Uniqua and Pablo wear fancy spacesuits. At the end, their HeelFaceTurns are symbolized by replacing their space helmets with berets. | |

The Backyardigans / int_6e6b8ca7 | comment |
Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Played very straight with Tasha's dress, Pablo's bowtie, Uniqua's piiiinkness — and, more subtly, Tyrone's antlers. Uniqua is a subversion: she wears overalls, lacks eyelashes and in later seasons has a rather deep voice. Some viewers even mistook her for a boy. That is, until some of her girlier roles in the later seasons, and until those viewers realized she was pink. | |

Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Austin and Uniqua are a preschool friendly example in a few episodes, especially in season 1. For example, in "High Tea", Uniqua is the only one who manages to make Austin laugh. Inverted towards the end of "The Secret of Snow", when Uniqua laments about how it won't snow and the others remind her of the friends she's made through song, Austin being the only one who gets his own verse to himself. | |

Growling Gut: Quite possibly the king of this trope; every episode ends with someone's stomach rumbling, prompting the kids to bring the adventure to a close and go get a snack. Recycled Soundtrack: In all but two instances of this, the sound byte is consistent. "Scared Of You" deliberately uses a different version, because it's more intimidating. "The Swamp Creature" used a different, louder version for the same reason. | |

Crying Wolf | |
The Backyardigans / int_78d0ebcf | comment |
Crying Wolf: In “Surf’s Up”, Pablo is seeking Tiki Beach because every wave that forms there is perfect for surfing. Austin, the Guardian of Tiki Beach, tricks Pablo twice into going to other beaches under various lifeguard disguises because it’s his job to make sure that surfers seeking Tiki Beach have mastered enough rad surfing moves to earn the honor of finding it, and Pablo only has one rad move at the start of the story. After Pablo meets Tyrone and Uniqua and they all learn their signature rad moves from each other, Austin decides they’re all worthy of surfing at Tiki Beach and gives them the real directions. Unfortunately, when he does, Pablo recognizes Austin as the other lifeguards from before and he, Tyrone, and Uniqua start chasing him because they think Austin’s still misleading them on where Tiki Beach is. | |

Stout Strength: Tasha, specifically from the second season onwards. An example is in "Swamp Creature", where she pulls Pablo out of the water by his snorkel with one hand. Just look at her arms. She's a muscular little thing. Pablo in "The Heart of the Jungle" can lift Tyrone in the air. Keep in mind that Pablo is probably 12 pounds at mostnote Assuming he is an Adelaide penguin (see WMG), meaning Tyrone was heavier since birth (moose calves are about 30 pounds at birth). They're Funny Animals though, so the weight difference between them probably isn't the same as it would normally be. | |

Cultural Translation | |
The Backyardigans / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: The UK dub has a lot of this, especially when the snack is offered at the end of the episode. "High Tea" is called "The Tea Party" in the UK dub, possibly because the episode has to do with imitation of British culture and culture of the audience in the United Kingdom already has heavier British influence relative to those in other countries. In the US version of "Robin Hood the Clean", the squalid village is called "Filthingham". In the UK version, it is called "Rottingham", which sounds more like "Nottingham" from the original myth. note it's also a real place in Britain, so the name change might have been intended to reference the town as well as help drive home the idea. The French version of "The Funnyman Boogeyman" was written so that Austin plays the Big Bad Wolf instead. Some dub titles for "Attack of the 50-foot Worman" were written so that his height was given as fifteen meters, while others more generally referred to his being a giant. | |

With Catlike Tread: According to Pablo at the beginning of "Secret Mission", having background music is a necessary part of being a secret agent. Heck, any time someone's on a stealth mission, you can bet they'll break out into a musical when they're trying not to get noticed. And it never blows their cover. | |

Gender-Separated Ensemble Episode | |
The Backyardigans / int_a0fc97d7 | comment |
Gender-Separated Ensemble Episode: It happens a lot. Pablo and Tyrone are best friends, and the same goes for Uniqua and Tasha. How often has it happened? "The Heart of the Jungle": Tyrone, Pablo, and Austin are the three Tarzans, and Uniqua is a jungle explorer. "The Snow Fort": Tyrone and Pablo are the Mounties, and Uniqua and Tasha are the ski patrollers. "The Key to the Nile": Tasha is the Egyptian princess, Uniqua is the sphinx, and Tyrone, Pablo, and Austin are the servants. They practically spell it out for us in "Quest for the Flying Rock". "Eureka!": Tyrone and Pablo are the prospectors, and Uniqua and Tasha are the paleontologists. "The Legend of the Volcano Sisters": Tyrone, Pablo, and Austin are the Luau Brothers, and Uniqua and Tasha are the Volcano Sisters. "Sinbad Sails Alone": Tyrone and Pablo are the sailors, and Uniqua and Tasha are the mythical beings they must face. "Into the Deep": Pablo and Tyrone are the underwater explorers and Uniqua and Tasha are the mermaids. "A Giant Problem": Tasha is the giant, Uniqua is the queen, and Pablo and Tyrone are the wizards. "Chichen-Itza Pizza": Uniqua and Tasha are the pizza delivery girls and Tyrone is the king. "The Masked Retriever": Uniqua is the title character, Tasha is an ordinary citizen, Austin is the mayor, and Pablo and Tyrone are his guards. "Break Out!": Uniqua and Tasha are the princesses, Austin is the magic mirror, and Pablo and Tyrone are the guards. | |

Justified since it's supposed to be a Meaningful Name. And if you thought "Frothingslosh" was hilariously silly, "Catch That Train!" has Pablo Pablovitch, the hilariously lazy. | |

This is particularly helped when he's animated with his hands in nonexistent pockets. Fridge Brilliance: Maybe he's wearing orange footie pants. | |

Catchphrase: Various, particularly Tyrone's "That certainly is convenient" when a Deus ex Machina appears, and Tasha's "Oh, for goodness' sakes!" when...well, pretty much constantly. Also, "Pablo? Pablo... PABLO!" whenever Pablo has a panic attack. In addition, each episode has a setting-specific phrase, usually featured in the opening song, which also doubles as the show's closing Couch Gag. There are also some role-specific catchphrases, i.e the Flipper's "Where is meteor?!", and Austin Frothingslosh's "Great Caesar's Ghost!". | |

Pantsless Males, Fully-Dressed Females: Tyrone and Pablo don't always wear pants, although Austin always does. Uniqua and Tasha are also fully dressed. Hilariously enough, this was actually inverted in "Chichen-Itza Pizza": The girls' uniform only has the shirt (though to be fair, they had their regular clothes on underneath), while Tyrone wears pants (well, a grass skirt) to make up for all the time he spends running around pantsless. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
The Backyardigans / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Uniqua in the episode "Monster Detectives". The plot of the whole episode is Uniqua keeps breaking most of Detective Tyrone's rules while they look for the soccer monster. Despite Tyrone trying to get Uniqua to be serious and trying to be quiet so the Soccer Monster doesn't find it, she eventually is too curious to even bother looking for the Soccer Monster. For example, Uniqua saw and looked at the 4 trophies and eventually another trophy with Pablo on it, causing Tyrone to firmly snap at her, "Don't touch ANYTHING". This can prove that Uniqua, being the Cheerful Child she is, may be a ditz sometimes, but mostly, it's all in good pleasure. It is justified, being that Uniqua is, 1: a curious little kid, 2: this IS a kid show, and 3: she doesn't know better. Poor Uniqua though..... And also, she gets turned into a Soccer Monster along with Tyrone himself. This happens to be a rare occurence in a preschool show. | |

Color-Coded Characters: When the not-so-nice dragon is converted to good, he changes from an angry orange color to a pleasant green.

Their houses are the same colors, respectively. | |

Shout-Out: Honorable mentions go to some BioShock shout-outs in "To the Center of the Earth", and "Flower Power" which could be briefly described as "Cure Blossom fights Doctor Facilier". The music in "The Heart of the Jungle" imitated the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. There's even a song to the tune of "I'm Called Little Buttercup". Similarly, "Catch that Butterfly" parodies Rossini operas, and features a song to the tune of "The Barber of Seville" overture. Some of the things the characters do in "Scared of You" recall Scooby-Doo. In "Break Out", Princess Tasha has Princess Leia's iconic hairstyle. | |

The Backyardigans / int_c76b215e | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Credits: Each season's opening teases a handful of episodes, but in the first season, the characters featured in each case don't always match up with the episodes themselves. note For the specifics, Tasha wears pirate gear despite being absent from "Pirate Treasure", and Austin wears cowboy gear despite being absent from "Riding The Range" (it could be teasing "Polka Palace Party", but if so, why is Tasha there?). The last bit, teasing "The Heart of the Jungle", had all the correct characters. The third-season intro features a teaser for "Blazing Paddles" in which Uniqua and Pablo both wear sheriff badges. In the actual episode, there was only one badge, which Pablo stole from Uniqua halfway through the episode and returned at the end. | |

Even though Uniqua and Pablo can whistle just fine in the season two episode "Horsing Around", as can Tyrone in "Special Delivery". note Tasha whistling in "Save the Day" doesn't count because she was absent from "Caveman's Best Friend". | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: it's not clear whether the reality of the characters live in is fantastic or not, as in some episodes, supporting characters appear both inside the Backyardigans' fantasies and out, especially the Gilded Golden Butterfly. | |

The Backyardigans / int_cfd569ac | comment |
Take Your Time: In "Sinbad Sails Alone", Tyrone's ship is about to literally fall off the edge of the world within a couple of seconds. Tyrone has gotten his foot caught on a rope, making Pablo their only hope. Pablo just has to turn the wheel which drops the anchor of the ship, but it takes a very long time for him to do this. It seemed like every time the camera cut to show how close the ship was to falling, the ship always seemed be at the same distance, even though it was moving. | |

Also, in "Race to the Tower of Power", the tower looks remarkably like the CN Tower, a famous landmark in Toronto. In "The Masked Retriever", Uniqua mentions Lake Erie. | |

The Simple Gesture Wins: In the episode "Legend of the Volcano Sisters", the boys have to find out what the titular Volcano Sisters, portrayed by Uniqua and Tasha, want in order to prevent them from having the island's volcano erupt. After two unsuccessful grand gestures by Tyrone and Pablo, Austin comes up with the idea of giving them flowers as a way of inviting them to take part in the luau, and it's this gesture that manages to win them over. | |

Hypocrite: Tyrone shows shades of this in "The Great Dolphin Race". He says that Uniqua cannot enter her tiny dolphin into a race because the dolphin is too small. This is the same guy who entered a donkey into a horse race in the earlier episode "Horsing Around". "The Yeti": Tasha spends the episode trying to convince Tyrone and Uniqua that there's no such thing as a yeti. Guess who's the first to scream when they find the titular monster? | |

The Backyardigans / int_d6fce880 | comment |
To the Tune of: Often, songs are set to tune of other well known songs, though this is mostly exclusive to Season One. What Do You Do With A Scurvy Pirate? is actually a filk of a classic sea shanty called Drunken Sailornote Sadly, this song is not well known outside of North America and parts of Europe. When the episode was exported, it resulted in many viewers not from the mentioned regions associating the tune with The Backyardigans instead of the original. "When I'm Booin'" from "It's Great to Be a Ghost!" is sung to the tune of Judy Garland's "When You're Smiling". "Please and Thank You" from "The Key to the Nile" is sung to the tune of Ruth Etting's "Shine on Harvest Moon". "I'll Catch a Whopper" from "Save the Day" is sung to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel". "Don't Flip Out" from "The Flipper" is sung to the tune of "I Want Candy". | |

The Backyardigans / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Most dubs keep the name "Backyardigans", or at least some variation of that. However, in the French dub, they're called the "Mèlodilous" (Melodious Ones). | |

Bag of Holding | |
The Backyardigans / int_e3226029 | comment |
Bag of Holding: Ohhh boy. The ultimate example would probably be Uniqua and Pablo's trunk in "To the Center of the Earth", which could hold several inventions, a telescope, a hammer, a thermos, a lasso, a ladder, a bucket, a net, an umbrella, a sponge mop, a hat stand, a lamp, a rake, poles, skiis, a feather duster, a bike horn, wooden spoons, a large tuba, string, marshmallows, a spring, helium-filled balloons... do I need to go on? They brought a ridiculous amount of random, unnecessary supplies (seriously, bath soap?) to Mars in an ridiculously small box in "Mission to Mars". | |

Disaster Dominoes: A staple. In "Fly Girl", Uniqua knocks over several pillars; in "Who Goes There?", several mummy sarcophaguses land on each other; in "To the Center of the Earth", large pillar-like diamonds are knocked over, and in "The Flipper!", several pillar-like rocks are knocked over. Bookshelf Dominoes: In "Attack of the 50 Foot Worman", much to Groundskeeper Tyrone's dismay. | |

In "Castaways", when the group of castaways finally find Austin, who has been secretly helping them the whole time, Tyrone and Pablo ask Austin if any of the "mysterious stuff" on the island has been happening to him, too. This is lampshaded by Uniqua turning to look straight at the camera and then shrugging her shoulders before pointing out Austin did it all. | |

Never Say "Die": Although they kids have been close to danger, the word has never yet been used.

Finally averted in "The Funnyman Boogeyman", in which Austin says he has jokes that will "knock [Pablo and Uniqua] dead". | |

The Backyardigans / int_f7a1edb8 | comment |
Green Lantern Ring: In "Flower Power", Flower Girl's titular powers seem to drift into this territory at times. At one point, she makes a cage out of flowers. Possibly a necessary evil, though, as otherwise her powers would probably wind up in heart territory. | |

The Backyardigans / int_f7de76f | comment |
Primary-Color Champion/Secondary Color Nemesis: Played straight in "The Great Dolphin Race" where Uniqua, who is pink which is a shade of red, is the hero, and orange Tyrone is the villain, "Robin Hood the Clean" where blue Pablo is the hero and purple Austin is the villain, and "The Masked Retriever" and "Flower Power" where Uniqua is the hero and Austin is the villain. Inverted in "Le Master of Disguise" and "Robot Rampage", where Austin is the hero and Pablo is the villain, and "Pablor and the Acorns", where Uniqua and Pablo have an Evil vs. Evil rivalry. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
The Backyardigans / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: In "Castaways", when the group of castaways finally find Austin, who has been secretly helping them the whole time, Tyrone and Pablo ask Austin if any of the "mysterious stuff" on the island has been happening to him, too. This is lampshaded by Uniqua turning to look straight at the camera and then shrugging her shoulders before pointing out Austin did it all. It happens again in "Polka Palace Party", where Sherman (being translated by Tyrone) introduces "The greatest cowboy polka band in all of Wyoming". | |

With Friends Like These... | |
The Backyardigans / int_fdbd6162 | comment |
With Friends Like These...: In the episode "It's Great to Be a Ghost!", Pablo and Uniqua force off Tyrone into being a ghost, when he tries to tell them that he is too nervous about the whole "ghost" thing, and just wants to play off something else. But Pablo and Uniqua WANT Tyrone to play ghosts with them, and apparently, throughout the whole episode, they want Tyrone to scare somebody. But Tyrone's too nervous and he wants to be friendly. Pablo and Uniqua, not knowing that Tyrone doesn't wanna play ghosts with them, force him out there anyway, in a Bedsheet Ghost-esque style upstairs in the haunted house. Poor Tyrone.... | |

Once a Season: Starting with season 2, there was one Two-Part Episode every season. Each season had one episode involving racing. Season 1 had "Race Around the World", season 2 had "Horsing Around", season 3 had "The Great Dolphin Race", and season 4 had "The Magic Skateboard". Each of these episodes, with the exception of "Horsing Around", was written by Rodney Stringfellow. | |
