The Weekenders | comment |
An animated series from Disney, aired from 2000-2004 as part of the One Saturday Morning block on ABC, the One Too block on UPN and Toon Disney; created by Doug Langdale (previously of Universal's Earthworm Jim adaptation, Sony's Project G.e.e.K.e.R. and later Disney series Dave the Barbarian), and ran for four seasons. It followed the lives of four friends: Deadpan Snarker Tino Tonitini, Tomboy Lor MacQuarrie, not so cool Carver Descartes and The Smart Girl Petratishkovna "Tish" Katsufrakis. Oddly enough, despite having four school-age children in the main roles, the show hardly (if ever) touches on aspects of school life, since stories nearly always begin on Friday afternoon and end on Sunday evening.Staying away from broad and cartoonish plots (Langdale's specialty), the show takes a more subtle route, with much of the humor deriving from its many one-liners (and Tino's screams, of course).Noted for its surprisingly good writing, averting the Limited Wardrobe (unusual for an animated show) and for often breaking the fourth wall; the audience is addressed directly by (usually) Tino, as a Narrator of sorts, with other characters also taking on this role or even lampshading it on occasion. Also has quite a set of Once an Episode recurring gags, such as the seemingly indecisive pizza place (never having the same name or theme twice), Tino's Mom serving highly questionable food, and of course "Later Days!" One other reason this show stands out is the aversion of the Adults Are Useless trope - showing that adults can be useful and still have a good show.The full series was released on DVD as a Disney Movie Club exclusive in February 2013. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
The Weekenders / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Amazingly, this is averted. Notable for a Western Animation cartoon. Throughout an episode, the characters' clothes change after each day begins, similar to Real Life. They avoid Unlimited Wardrobe, because they each have the same four or five outfits that they continue to wear throughout the show's run. Despite having a full wardrobe of different clothes for each character, each had their own color scheme. Tish usually wore purple, Carver wore yellow or green, Lor usually wore grey or red, and Tino wore blue. Truth in Television, as lots of people have a favorite color that they genuinely wear a lot. The trope is played straight, however, with the supporting and minor characters (save for Tino's mom), who are always seen in the same outfits. | |

Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Frances. Not only does she have an obsession with pointy objects, her laugh is also scary. Even more disturbing is that she was a perfectly normal kid at one point who was good friends with Tish, only to become what she is now, completely out of nowhere. Of course it's parodying the "Friends change over time" situation. But seriously... what could have possibly happened to practically have her become this overnight? | |

Never Recycle Your Schemes: Inverted, actually: On two separate occasions, they have tried to solve a problem by having Carver write something, and both times it failed because of his atrocious handwriting. He had told them he'd gotten better in the meantime, but it couldn't have hurt to have someone else write the note or at least proofread it. | |

The Weekenders / int_35ae6a23 | comment |
Lethal Chef: Tino's mom, though where she gets the ingredients and how she prepares them are extremely questionable, the result is at least edible, most of the time. This overlaps with the I Ate WHAT?! Running Gag as well. Lampshaded by Tino in "Vengeance" when he tries to eat a very sticky green jelly-like food which ends up sending his spoon ricocheting across the room: Knowing this, the kids eat several natural biodegradable pot scrubbers thinking they were cookies and assuming that they are just more of her bizarre food. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
The Weekenders / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: In "Diary", it was really Carver's snooping into Tish's "diary" (which is really her novel entitled "Diary") that started the events of the episode. But if he, Lor, and Tino had at least asked Tish what was going on in the first place, everything that happened afterwards could've been avoided. Tino lampshades this at the end of the episode. | |

Vindicated by History: A rare in-universe example of this trope. The characters visit an amusement park named for Nikola Tesla, who is explicitly described as a pioneer of alternating current and the inventor of radio (his rival to the claim, Marconi, is explicitly dismissed). This was one of the earliest pop culture references to Tesla, and the beginning of his Vindication, which continues to the present day. | |

Free-Range Children: They're allowed to go everywhere in Bahia Bay on the weekends it seems. They never run into any issues where their parents specifically forbid them from going somewhere. It's possible that since they're in middle school and they rarely travel alone that their parents will think they're okay. One episode ("Cravasse of Dreams") has them hiking for almost an entire half-day. | |

Parental Bonus | |
The Weekenders / int_86daf505 | comment |
Parental Bonus: As with almost every cartoon, references most kid won't get show up in the dialogue. For example, in one episode when Tish was babysitting Carver's brother, Todd, she tries to read Oedipus Rex to him (she even described it as a story for kids of all ages). The episode "To Be or Not to Be" sort of advertises the Shakespeare play A Midsummer Night's Dream. | |

Despite having a full wardrobe of different clothes for each character, each had their own color scheme. Tish usually wore purple, Carver wore yellow or green, Lor usually wore grey or red, and Tino wore blue. Truth in Television, as lots of people have a favorite color that they genuinely wear a lot. | |

The Weekenders / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: There are quite a few mentions of Chum Bukkit song "suffused elephant quaff winces exasperating" throughout the series. The name came from the season 1 episode "Band" when Carver tried to write a message to the band and, because of his bad handwriting, that's what they thought it said. Overall, the show was always brilliant at this. Many throwbacks to in-jokes, events and even character traits built up over the course of the seasons are subdued enough to slip by viewers without an eye out for them. | |

Status Quo Is God: Well, to a certain extent. Each of the four main characters have their share of embarrassing moments, yet they rarely carry over into other episodes. There are some exceptions, including Lor's attempts to change to get Thompson's attention (see Aesop Amnesia). This may also explain why Mrs. Duong is pregnant for the entire series. | |

Amazingly, this is averted. Notable for a Western Animation cartoon. Throughout an episode, the characters' clothes change after each day begins, similar to Real Life.

Adults Are Useless: One of the few children's shows that actually averts this trope and shows that it's not always the case; Tino's mom in particular is very in touch with her kid and always knows the right things to say about whatever problem Tino is facing at the time. Likewise, the other characters' parents are shown to be reasonable authority figures in their own way, and still know about their kids. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Tino is excellent at this. He even wins "Most Sarcastic" in the Yearbook Awards. Of course, he gets it from his mother. Leading to at least one incredibly snarky catty dinner scene between them per episode. All the main characters have shades of this. The Tonitinis definitely win first prize, but Lor, Tish and Carver are not far behind. Let's not forget the perpetually deadpan woman who runs the Foods of the Worlds exhibit. During the series finale "Tino's Dad" where Tino's old man comes to visit (instead of their usual other way around) for the first time in eight years, and the guy dishes out some pretty good zingers. | |

Ambiguously Bi: Carver is obsessed with fashion (especially shoes), is utterly mortified when he thinks Lor might have a crush on him (though that seems to be a case of I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship), and it's been suggested that he tries on his sister's clothes. He also got caught buying a women's fur-lined bathing suit in one episode, and nervously explained that it was for his sister. Tish also shows signs of ambiguous aromanticism or asexuality, being the only one of the group never to develop a crush in the show, even having an episode devoted to her failed attempts to 'force' herself to fall in love, with the Aesop being that it isn't a bad thing not to have romantic feelings, even at the 'right age'. | |

Aesop Amnesia: More than one episode has Lor learning that she doesn't have to change herself to get the attention of her crush, Thompson. She never seems to fully pick it up despite going through the same plot two or three times. Thompson himself calls her out on it in the season 3 episode "Tutor", even referring to the previous episodes ("Makeover" and "Brain Envy", from each of the previous seasons) where Lor acted the same way: Tish often has episodes focusing on her desperation to be mature and the others not appreciating her intelligence. In a more minor sense, they never seem to have anyone besides Carver hand write messages when the plot calls for it, despite his terrible hand writing | |

In the Holiday special, it's mentioned that she celebrates Hanukkah, but there are no other indications throughout the series of her family's religion. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Weekenders / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Somewhat randomly, many to famous French writers & thinkers. Obviously, one of the main characters is named Carver 'Rene' Descartes; more subtle are the girl named Cheri Montaigne, and the discussion of François Rabelais in the episode where Tish tries to be more mature (which is even thematically relevant!) | |

Character Catchphrase | |
The Weekenders / int_d308cbb0 | comment |
Character Catchphrase: "Later days!" Usually said by Tino at the end of an episode. Though occasionally the other kids get the chance to say it too. Also, Tish's mother frequently exclaims "Is what I say!" after her English is corrected. Parodied with DJ Jan "The Man" Testeverde's super-annoying catchphrase "Hey, yowza, dudes!", that he ends almost every sentence with. Carver was actually amazed when Jan went a whole minute without saying it. | |

The Weekenders / int_d4e9de59 | comment |
Dreadful Musician: One episode has the four about to go to Carver's house when they hear what sounds like his little brother screaming. Only, it turns out it's actually his big sister Penny having a singing lesson. "Best" has Tino obsessing over what superlative he wants in the yearbook, one of them being Best Whistler. Unfortunately, he's such a bad whistler that he pops the guitar strings in the music store. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
The Weekenders / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Parodied in "Party Planning", where Lor and Tish try to convince Tino and Carver of this fact to help them attract girls more effectively. As an "instructional video", they show them an old film clip of a (fictional) 1950's heartthrob actor, whose attractive "mysteriousness" comes from the fact that he mumbles all of his lines, and nobody can understand a word he says. | |

The Weekenders / int_e2d457 | comment |
The Ditz: Lor... kind of. In "Real Fake" she takes it to the extreme when she's acting like a teen in a TV show when the gang are being filmed by a documentarist. It Makes Sense in Context. Bluke isn't the brightest bulb in the knife drawer either. "The Tao of Bluke" reveals that he's really just simple, rather than stupid as revealed at the episode's end when they won pizzas instead of the pool table. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
The Weekenders / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: An aversion, which is Played for Laughs. Lor apparently has more than one brother named "Danny", and she has difficulty keeping track of her brothers because she sometimes forgets how many "Dannies" there are. Why her parents decided to give two (or more) of their children the same first name is anyone's guess. Also, Tino loses the "Best Tino" award to Tino Rabinowitz. | |

Running Gag | |
The Weekenders / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Many. The indecisive pizza place that changes its name and gimmick in every episode. Carver's terrible penmanship. Tish's mom's broken English. Tino's mom's cooking. The exact number of Lor's sibling ("I can never count them all! They're always moving around!"). The "Foods of the World" exhibit at the Anthropology Museum, and the deadpan server's attempts at delivering cheery taglines in a monotone voice ("Couscous: the food so nice, they named it twice"; "Feta: the cheese that tastes betta"). The coach answering his door in his robe or towel in front of the gang, because he thought the girl scouts or salespeople are bothering him again. In 4.05, "did you get hit in the head with a dodge ball again?" to Tino's affectedness. Tino's mom always knowing her son or her friends' problems, before Tino could even finish his sentence. | |
