A CGI-animated series created by Nickelodeon's Janice Burgess and broadcast worldwide, mostly on Nick Jr. and its parent network. Written and recorded at Nickelodeon Animation Studio in the USA, the animation was done by Nelvana in Canada. 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.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?"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.Every episode is up on YouTube (outside of the US), courtesy of Nelvana's Treehouse Direct channel.

 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.

Darker and Edgier: Obviously, this is moderated by the show being aimed at preschoolers, but "Robot Rampage" is darker and more serious than any other episode in the series. Unlike all the other villains in the series, "Professor Bug" is played dead serious.

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.

Tasha appears in the "Tower of Power" level as Super Snap (from the episode "Front Page News"). She was absent from the episode "Tower of Power" itself, although she does have an All There in the Manual role for that specific setting: Eraser Girl, who made it into a few pieces of foreign merchandise, most notably being made into a plush toy in Brazil.

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.

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.

Funny Background Event: In "News Flash", during one of Uniqua's reports Pablo is having a panic attack in the background.

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.

Short Screentime for Reality: The shared backyard and the rear exteriors of the kids' houses are all that is seen in the real world, being bookended by the imaginary worlds dreamt up by them where most of the plot takes place.

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".

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. In "A Giant Problem", Uniqua plays a bossy princess, the kind of role you'd expect to be assigned to Tasha. Instead, Tasha gets to be a playful and carefree giant.

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.

Sword Fight

comment
Sword Fight: The first episode "Pirate Treasure", had Austin and Tyrone having a sword fight using their telescopes. In "The Two Musketeers", it gets better with Uniqua and Austin against Pablo, Tyrone, and Tasha with cool parring moves like a Blade Lock, and Sword over Head... though their swords are made of balloons.

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.

You Go, Girl!: This happens more than once, and shouldn't be surprising because this show was created by a woman.

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: 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 dorkier.

Knight of Cerebus: Pablo as "Professor Bug" 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.

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: 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: 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, 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.

Cannot Tell a Lie: Austin as the Magic Mirror in "Break Out" is an interesting variation. As a magic mirror he has to answer any question and he cannot lie, and while he can choose not to answer the question instead of just lying, just after that he will say something which will give away the answer anyway. And then it get surverted the 2nd time he has to answer anything to Tower Guard Tyrone: He used it to reveal the Princesses to the guards so he can tell them they can fly away breaking the glass ceiling

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 Worman being a giant. From the Brazilian Portuguese dub: In "Monster Detectives", when Uniqua finds the framed pictures of famous soccer players, the Mia Hamm reference is omitted, and instead she namedrops "Pelé, Roberto Carlos... and there's others!" In "The Swamp Creature", the titular Swamp Creature's so-called favorite food (and, consequently, the snack at the end) is changed from "s'mores on a stick" to meat skewers. For some reason, the book from "The Masked Retriever" has its title changed to "The Little Old Lady Who Named Things".

House Inspection: In "What's Bugging You?", Tasha's house is being inspected by Mr. Spiffy (Pablo) so she can join the Spiffy Club. When she finds out a worman is in her house, she calls Uniqua and Tyrone from Best Pest Control. Unfortunately, everything Uniqua and Tyrone do seems to attract even more wormen. Then Mr.Spiffy arrives, which means that Tasha, Uniqua, and Tyrone not only have to do their jobs quickly, but they also have to do it in secret. Thus the "Fawlty Towers" Plot.

Meanwhile, Tasha is having great fun playing in the forest and exploring the kingdom she's just arrived in. Played Forlaughs in "Fly Girl"; Pablo and Tyrone are clean-freaks and Tasha yells at birds because their singing won't let her take a nap. Pilot Uniqua is tasked with delivering singing telegrams to them so their mood can improve.

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 (possibly the episode's equivalent to Jane Porter). "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.

Embarrassing Last Name: Austin, or at least his character, in "Whodunit?". Seriously, Austin Frothingslosh? He also does time as 'Austin Stinkypants' in "Robin Hood the Clean". 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.

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!".

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.

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.

Shout-Out: Combined with Parental Bonus, a cowboy episode is titled “Blazing Paddles�. Honorable mentions go to some BioShock shout-outs in "To the Center of the Earth". 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. In "Break Out", Princess Tasha has Princess Leia's iconic hairstyle.

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.

Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Whenever Pablo has a panic attack — which was almost once an episode in the first season; much less often in the following three — one of his friends has to calm him down by calling "Pablo...Pablo?...PABLO!"

Unexpected Kindness
 The Backyardigans / int_c9e20e01

Unexpected Kindness: Throughout "Escape from Fairytale Village", Tyrone mistakes the Fairytale Village as them trying to hurt him. First off, Austin (as a wolf) says that he's about to "huff and puff" so that he can blow up Tyrone's flat tire, but Tyrone thinks he's trying to blow him far away and runs off thanks to Poor Communication Kills. He also wrongly believes Pablo the Gentle Giant and Uniqua the witch want to eat him when they invite him to their houses for lunch. At the end of the episode, he finds out that their kindness was genuine.

Series Continuity Error: A major plot point in the season three episode "Caveman's Best Friend" is that no one except Austin at the end is able to whistle. 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".

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.

Mundane Made Awesome: Episodes such as "Garbage Trek" and "For the Love of Socks" can easily be interpreted as the kids spinning elaborate, fantastical stories out of mundane tasks. There's also the likes of "Samurai Pie" and "Blazing Paddles", which take simple acts (respectively, baking pies and playing ping-pong) and treat them as Serious Business.

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.

To the Tune of...
 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". "Oh, My Sherman" is sung to the tune of "Oh My Darling, Clementine."

Plot Tailored to the Party: In "For the Love of Socks", every worker gets their moment to shine. It's easy to tell because their turns come in exactly the same order as they do in the assembly line. Except for Foreman Tasha; despite being at the beginning of the line, her moment's at the very end.

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.

Played with, as they are Funny Animals, not humans.

Never Say "Die"
 The Backyardigans / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Never Say "Die": Although they kids have been close to danger, the word has never yet been used. This is extremely noticeable in "Escape from Fairytale Village", when Tyrone thinks Pablo (as a giant) is going to "do the scary stuff that fairytale characters do". Finally averted in "The Funnyman Boogeyman", in which Austin says he has jokes that will "knock [Pablo and Uniqua] dead".

Three Plus Two: Almost inevitable, due to there being five characters.

"The Legend of the Volcano Sisters" has three Luau Brothers (Pablo, Tyrone, and Austin) and two Volcano Sisters (Uniqua and Tasha). "The Secret of Snow" has three characters who want to see snow (Uniqua, Pablo, and Tyrone) and two ice factory workers (Tasha and Austin). "International Super Spy" has three heroes (Pablo, Tasha, and Austin) and two villains (Uniqua and Tyrone). "News Flash" has three news reporters (Uniqua, Tasha, and Austin) and two farmers (Pablo and Tyrone). "Who Goes There?" has three pieces of art (Uniqua, Pablo, and Austin) and two museum workers (Tyrone and Tasha). "Garbage Trek" has three garbage collectors (Uniqua, Tasha, and Austin) and two Moose-ians (Pablo and Tyrone). "Match on Mount Olympus" has three gods (Uniqua, Tasha, and Austin) and two mortals (Pablo and Tyrone). "The Action Elves Save Christmas Eve" has three elves (Uniqua, Pablo, and Tasha) and two abominable snowmen (Tyrone and Austin). "Los Galacticos" has three mariachi musicians (Pablo, Tyrone, and Tasha) and two Googors (Uniqua and Austin).

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.

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".

Special Edition Title: The series had these for all three two-parters. For the first one, "International Super Spy" (parodying the James Bond movies), there was an opening in the style of the episode. For the second, "Tale of the Mighty Knights", the theme song is done in the style of '70s hard rock. For the third, "Robot Rampage", the theme song is done the style of roller disco music.

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.

Each of these episodes, with the exception of "Horsing Around", was written by Rodney Stringfellow.
