New strange chore: describe The Strange Chores!The Strange Chores is an Australian animated series released in 2019 on ABC Me. Created by Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson, the show is produced by Ludo Studio (of Bluey fame) and Media World Production, with animation provided by 12Field Animation. As with all Australian cartoons, production was funded by the Australian government.The series follows the adventures of timid tech geek Pierce and wannabe popular kid Charlie, two friends who discover one day that their oddball neighbour Old Man Helsing (voice of Nick Tate) is in fact the world's greatest Hunter of Monsters. Helsing’s age is catching up to him however, and he won't be able to rid the world of vampires, werewolves, and other horrors for much longer. Deciding he needs somebody to succeed him soon, Helsing agrees to make Pierce and Charlie his apprentices in exchange for having them carry out various tasks around his home that he dubs "strange chores".Thus, Pierce and Charlie find themselves taking on all manner of duties both mundane and fantastic, many of which are complicated by the involvement of monsters and the supernatural. Joining our two young heroes in these unusual endeavours are two equally odd tenants of Helsing's home — a playful and mischievous Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl named Que and a little green monster named Snorp.The first season debuted on Halloween of 2019 and ran to November of that year for a total of twenty-six 11-minute episodes. Season 2 premiered on June 24, 2022, with an additional 26 episodes and a sneak peek being released on April that year. Outside of Australia, the show has also aired on CBC Kids in Canada, Pop in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and Disney Channel in Asia. In the United States, the series is available on The Roku Channel.A third season is currently in production and slated for a 2024 release. | |

| The Strange Chores / int_36754cc7 | comment |
"Freaky Friday" Flip: In "Swap Back The Body Swap", the inspector is coming, so Helsing tasks the trio with putting Snorp's mind into a house plant. Unfortunately, a misfiring on Pierce's part causes Charlie and a teapot, Snorp, and Helsing, and Pierce and a phone to swap minds. Even worse, Snorp in Helsing's body destroys the machine which does the body-swap, which makes the inspection a bit more difficult. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different | |
| The Strange Chores / int_66479d0 | comment |
Our Ghosts Are Different: While able to pass through walls and possess people, Que doesn't seem to follow most ghost logic, including being able to eat, being scared, getting Bound and Gagged, being able to be touched (to an extent), and, if needed, turning into a more monstrous version of herself. Also, extreme cold makes her less ghost-like and removes her magic. | |

| The Strange Chores / int_a73cfb7f | comment |
Animate Inanimate Object: In "Finish The Mop's Bucket List", the trio has to help complete the bucket list of a mop that they bought to life. Said mop goes on to become a recurring character in Season 2. Charlie and Pierce briefly become a sentient teapot and mobile phone respectively in "Swap Back The Body Swap". One of the monster hunters seen in "Host a Monster Hunter Tournament" is an animate toaster. "Put the Barbarian Back in the Box" features sentient miniatures for a D&D-styled tabletop RPG, with said miniatures later reappearing in Season 2's "Stop the Noisy Neighbors". | |

Fun with Flushing | |
| The Strange Chores / int_ab2e5fde | comment |
Fun with Flushing: The plot of "Clean The Toilet" is kicked off when Charlie, being uninterested in going the whole way down to the archive, decides to flush a newly bottled monster down the toilet. This leads to it breaking free and him trying to deal with it without Helsing finding out. | |

People Jars | |
| The Strange Chores / int_b905e88c | comment |
People Jars: Monsters captured by the characters are magically shrunk down by their specialized firearms to be imprisoned in specialized bottles where they float in brightly colored liquid. They can still talk to the characters or each other, but unless the jar is broken or someone releases them, they are completely powerless and unable to move their limbs around much. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Strange Chores / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Helsing's name is a reference to Dr. Abraham Van Helsing of Dracula fame. In fact, he's outright implied to be the Helsing on a few occasions, saying his friends call him "Abe" and being suggested in some throwaway lines to be Really 700 Years Old. The Season 1 finale "Scare Helsing" introduced a race of Eldritch Abominations called the Fear Bears, who are basically demonic parodies of the Care Bears. | |

Our Gnomes Are Weirder | |
| The Strange Chores / int_dee04580 | comment |
Our Gnomes Are Weirder: As seen in "Coach the Gnomes", gnomes in the series are less magical fairy beings, more living versions of the classic garden decorations. Pierce accidentally shatters their leader, but he's able to glue her back together, and her fragments can still speak and interact with her surroundings. | |

Hellhound | |

Hellhound: Or rather, a "heckhound". In the episode "Mind the Heckhound", Charlie is tasked with taking care of one, the classic three-headed Cerberus-styled type. However, "heckhounds" are not to be fed human food, as it makes them bigger, stronger, and more dangerous. | |

Brain in a Jar: The monsters captured by the characters are imprisoned in special bottles, but Monster Head stands out in particular for being little more than a severed, still-sapient head who often taunts the characters or interacts with them from the confines of a jar filled with some sort of liquid. | |
