Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race (also known as Total Drama: Ridonculous Race, or simply The Ridonculous Race) was a Canadian animated series and a spin-off of Total Drama, as well as the second series created as part of the overall franchise. The series was created by Fresh TV and aired on Cartoon Network in both the United States and Canada.note It is the only entry in the Total Drama series to have never aired on the franchise's original channel of Teletoon in English (until the network's shutdown in 2023), despite the fact Teletoon funded its production. It premiered first in the United States on September 7, 2015 and began airing in Canada on January 4, 2016. It featured a return to form with 26 episodes in its debut season rather than the 13 that had been used for later Total Drama seasons.Like Total Drama, the series is an animated parody of reality television, in this case The Amazing Race. It features a completely new host and 32 new contestants (as well as 4 returning contestants from the parent show) competing in 18 teams of two. These teams must race to different locations around the world and strive to arrive first at the "chill zone" in each locale, completing challenges before stepping foot on the "carpet of completion" at the end of each leg of the race to win prizes and to avoid coming in last, which carries the possibility of elimination or a significant disadvantage in the following leg. The teams are gradually whittled down this way until the final where the last pair goes head-to-head in the final leg of the race with whoever crosses the finish line first winning C$1,000,000.Ridonculous Race was well received by critics and audiences with many fans seeing it as a return to grace after several lackluster seasons of its parent series (that said, a vocal minority would say otherwise). However, it was confirmed in late September 2018 by Fresh TV co-president and co-creator of the Total Drama franchise, Tom McGillis, that there are currently no plans to continue this series or the original, claiming it to be due to fleeting demographics and the concept of spoofing reality TV no longer being marketable. Thus, making it the last competition based installment in the franchise as of 2015, as well as Fresh TV's second animated series, or third counting the U.S. version of Stōked, to become a one-off, after Grojband. However, with the original Total Drama having been Uncancelled, the possibility of continuation has now opened up. |

Eiffel Tower Effect |
| Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race / int_191535aa |
comment |
Eiffel Tower Effect: Used for some locations during the Race. "None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1", set in Toronto, has its first challenge at the CN Tower, where teams have an Either/Or challenge of climbing 144 flights of stairs or taking the elevator to the observation deck and traverse the exterior sky-deck. "French is an Eiffel Language" has the Eiffel Tower as the site of a Botch or Watch challenge and the Louvre as the episode's finish line. "Hello and Dubai" prominently features the Burj Al Arab, where teams have an Either/Or challenge of facing off against a killer tennis robot or cleaning a column of the skyscraper's windows. "New Beijinging" has teams parachuting in tandem into the Bird's Nest Stadium. Teams then must race to the Great Wall on rickshaws. "My Way or Zimbabwe" has Victoria Falls, where teams must take a selfie while riding over the falls. "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars", set in New York City, has both the Empire State Building and Central Park as the part of the finale. |

Graceful Loser: Most of the contestants are this after they lose the race. In particular the Cadets and the Surfers are quite serene in the ending where the other team wins. The Ice Dancers (very surprisingly) when they think they're going home in "My Way or Zimbabwe", though it could just be because the cameras are still on them. When the Ice Dancers get third, Jacques is too busy worrying about Josee to have a tantrum of his own. |

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Many of them are shown in this series, mainly among the racing partners. Geoff and Brody are perfect examples as they refer to each other as best buds Owen and Noah continue this kind of relationship from where they left off in World Tour MacArthur and Sanders are this as well as MacArthur cares deeply about Sanders, going as far as carry Sanders when Sanders cannot keep on going. Gerry and Pete are this as well as they knew each other for decades, although they are still in a rivalry but it has mellowed down to joking. Ellody and Mary are this too. They are scientists Laurie and Miles as they have veganism in common between them Rock and Spud are this too as they both belong in the same rock band |

Aborted Arc |
| Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race / int_23698fa8 |
comment |
Aborted Arc: Early on, it was strongly implied that Jacques & Josee's constant string of luck during the first portion of the season was due to the latter's lucky charm rabbit's foot Bun-Bun. She loses Bun-Bun in "Hawaiian Honeyruin" and replaces it with a lava rock that looks like a trophy which begins their arc of them being cursed with bad luck. After they lift said curse in "My Way or Zimbabwe" which is also the episode where they officially become the Arc Villains, Bun-Bun is completely forgotten about and they're just as successful as they were when Josee still had her good luck charm making the idea of them even having one seem pointless. Two about Emma's romance with Noah. The ending of "I Love Ridonc & Roll" suggests Emma and Noah's roles will be reversed, with Emma now focusing more on her relationship with Noah while the latter claims he'll prioritize the competition over her. Come two episodes later, the next time when they interact again, and they're both attracted to each other and slowly become too focused on their relationship instead of the race. When the latter is eliminated in "Got Venom", Emma says that they'll go out if he meets her at the final Chill Zone referring to the finale. But because she & Kitty are eliminated in the episode right before the finale, outside of one brief line of Emma saying that she's gonna call Noah when they get home the entire plotline ends up without a proper resolution. The Odd Friendship between Carrie & Ryan is completely dropped in the latter's elimination episode to the point where neither characters interact once in said episode. |

Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Carrie has been crushing on Devin since they were young kids, but he has stayed oblivious to her feelings. Eventually, Carrie decides to try and give up on him and focus on the race...just in time for him to realize he's actually in love with her. So most of the series involves Carrie trying to confess her feelings to Devin with the last third reversing this and having him trying to confess to her. In the end he does and they get together. |

Has to break her vegan vows and eat a plate of meat to stay in the race only for the round to be revealed as non-elimination, starts craving more meat and is chastised by her partner for it, gets a face full of bullet ant bites and is then sent home relatively early. Dwayne. If something bad is going to happen, it's probably going to be to him. Kelly, mainly as a result of Taylor's spoiled demeanor. The poor, poor interns. Don may have more morals than Chris but he still has no problem torturing and even killing these wretched souls to "test" the challenges. |

Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat |

comment |
Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: In "None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 2," Leonard and Tammy stop to cast a slow motion spell, despite being ahead of the other stragglers. Naturally, this doesn't work, and they get eliminated that episode. The Ice Dancers are both The Ace of the competition, in no small part due to their excellent physical condition. By simply concentrating on staying in first place rather than trying to sabotage the other contestants, they would probably win the race. However, In Darjeel, they have a close call after disconnecting the train cars gives them a one hour penalty, even though their position on the train would give them a comfortable finish. Then, in the finale, by causing The Surfers' taxi to crash, they inadvertently provide a shortcut for the other team. By driving carefully, the two teams could be neck and neck into the next leg, where the Ice Dancers' superior athleticism would give them the edge. |

In-Series Nickname: Josee is fond of these. Her lucky rabbit's foot is "Bunbun", and so-called lucky lava rock is "Rockrock". Jacques sometimes refers to her as "mon petit chou". The Ice Dancers and the Cadets show their rivalry with insulting nicknames for each other. The Dancers call the Cadets "pigs" and "pigs in training" and the Cadets call the Dancers "ice-nerds" and "ice-capades". Kitty later calls the Ice Dancers the "ice dunces". |

comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: The Ice Dancers (Josee and Jacques) and Police Cadets (MacArthur and Sanders), with their rivalry being one of the most heavily focused plots, beginning from the first episode and carrying over all the way to the finale. Both have the highest team rankings, coming first multiple times. For the Ice Dancers they never placed lower than third in the first eight episodes, and serve as the Big Bads of the first season. The Sisters (Emma and Kitty). They have had quite a lot of focus so far, especially the gradual over Emma's attitude towards Kitty, and that's before Emma's romantic plot with Noah. Kitty also interacts with the most characters (with only the Ice Dancers surpassing her). The Daters/Haters (Stephanie and Ryan) had a lot of focus with their Belligerent Sexual Tension, of having them go back and forth between loving and hating each other. They evaded elimination three times before ending up in the final 5. |

Vacation, Dear Boy: invoked It's clear that some of the teams are more interested in sightseeing than winning the game. The Bloggers take the time to shop in whatever location they go to, the Surfers only joined because they wanted to tour the world for free, Kitty takes photos of every landmark she finds, and even the usually apathetic Goths nearly lost a round because they were too busy touring around Dracula's castle to check in at the Don Box. |

comment |
The Runner-Up Takes It All: Just like in the main series, whether The Police Cadets (Canadian winners) or the Surfers (U.S. winners) deserved to win more is debatable. The Police Cadets (who placed 2nd in the United States) were more deserving then the Surfers (who won in that country) as they stayed throughout the race. However, The Surfers (who placed 2nd in Canada) deserved to win since they were kind to other teams (namely The Best Friends and The Sisters). Just like some of the other seasons in the main show, there were more people that were popular than the Surfers and the Police Cadets, such as the Sisters, The Best Friends, The Goths, and some others. |

comment |
Left Hanging: In "A Million Ways To Lose A Million Dollars"), Don tells the viewers to "stay tuned for more of... The Ridonculous Race," implying the show will return. However, following the show's cancellation in September 2018, no more seasons have been made, meaning that "The Ridonculous Race" is the last season of "Total Drama". As of 2021, there *are* plans for more "Total Drama", but it doesn't appear that there's any more "Ridonculous Race" on the horizon, so Don's statement still ultimately falls flat. |

Laser-Guided Karma |
| Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race / int_90e31482 |
comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: Taylor spends all her early appearances treating her mother like crap and telling her how useless she is while rubbing her (Taylor's) many achievements in Kelly's face. Guess who's the one to Kick The Son Of A Bitch with her later on and triumphantly humiliate Taylor by revealing it was all a lie. Laurie invokes this when Dwayne finds her fossil, saying the Goddess of Karma will punish him for taking it. As for Geoff and Brody, they get the good kind. After sparing Carrie and Devin in Vietnam, they were selected to replace them, after Devin sustained serious injuries due to the Ice Dancer's sabotage on Kitty and Emma. In the following episode, Geoff and Brody were grateful about this and promise to split the prize money with them ($250,000 for each Carrie, Devin, Geoff and Brody) if they win. |

Continuity Nod: Owen reveals that he's still scared of flying, even after World Tour, so he got a teddy bear to keep him calm; however, in "Brazilian Pain Forest", he ends up eating his teddy bear after having to board a plane similar to the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. Dwayne and Junior watch an episode of Pahkitew Island during their flight to Alberta and Dwayne later suggests binge-watching the season once they get home. Owen brings up the fact that he won Total Drama Island in "Got Venom". Josee frequently mentions that she and Jacques got silver in the Olympics when Jacques dropped her on her head, which Chris, Trent, and Beth briefly talk about in the premier episode of Total Drama Island. |

Leitmotif: Each team has a special theme tune (Josee & Jacques have victory fanfare, Ellody & Mary have a chiptune, Laurie & Miles have flute music, etc). Stephanie and Ryan have a jazz motif that plays whenever they flirt or sit in the confessional together. When they fight, it's replaced with a tense drumbeat. Similarly, Noah and Emma have a psychedelic pop tune that Noah can apparently hear. |

The Ace |

comment |
The Ice Dancers are both The Ace of the competition, in no small part due to their excellent physical condition. By simply concentrating on staying in first place rather than trying to sabotage the other contestants, they would probably win the race. However, In Darjeel, they have a close call after disconnecting the train cars gives them a one hour penalty, even though their position on the train would give them a comfortable finish. Then, in the finale, by causing The Surfers' taxi to crash, they inadvertently provide a shortcut for the other team. By driving carefully, the two teams could be neck and neck into the next leg, where the Ice Dancers' superior athleticism would give them the edge. |

comment |
Failing a Taxi: After Dwayne got a face tattoo in New Zealand, he has trouble getting a taxi as he mistakenly got a woman's tattoo. Junior eventually steps in and conveniently cover the tattoo with his ticket to get one to stop. In another episode, the Cadets face the same dilemma (minus tattoos). Eventually, MacArthur jumps into traffic with her badge and commandeers a vehicle. |

Blended Family Drama: Chet and Lorenzo's single parents married one year before the start of the show and they still hate each other at the beginning of the race. They were forced by their parents to take part to in order to learn how to get along. They spend most of their episodes fighting each other, but it ends up working in the end after they discover they have more things in common than they thought. |

Laurie having to eat meat to stay in the game even though it turned out to be needless since it was a non-elimination round quickly becomes this for her. Carrie loses it a few times when Devin compares her to his girlfriend Shelley. |

Series Continuity Error |
| Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race / int_ca95473c |
comment |
Series Continuity Error: Kitty says in "French is an Eiffel Language" that Emma broke up with her previous boyfriend Jake two years prior to the series. But in "Hello and Dubai" she says to Owen that it's been three years since the breakup. At the end of "I Love Ridonc & Roll" Noah claims to be over Emma and will instead be more focused on the competition. When the two of them next interact two episodes later in "Shawshank Ridonc-tion", he's suddenly gone back to being obsessed over her and very unfocused on the competition. At the end of "Got Venom", Owen remarks that he wasn't upset about being eliminated as he had already won a million dollars. He actually only won a hundred thousand dollars in Island which he forfeited by accepting Chris' million dollar scavenger hunt. In the very first episode, Stephanie claims that she and Ryan have been together for two months and six days before the series began. Later into the show's run, this suddenly changes to where they claim to have been together for at least a year. |

Expy: Dwayne is Clark Griswold. His son, Junior, is visually inspired by Justin Bieber. Taylor and Kelly are visually inspired by Melissa and Joan Rivers, respectively, but are based more off of Regina George and her mother. MacArthur and Sanders are based off Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock's characters from The Heat. Mary is one of Amy Farah Fowler. Chet and Lorenzo are pretty clearly inspired by Step Brothers. Josee and Jacques are confirmed to be based off of the villains from Blades of Glory, an incestuous ice dancing duo. Fun fact, the Ice Dancers were originally going to be brother and sister, but it was cut out for an unknown reason! ...uh... |

Flanderization: Geoff was always a bit of a Dumb Blonde but here he seems to have lost most of what intelligence he did have. Somewhat averted with Owen, who the writers seemed to make an effort to restore to his original, pre-Flanderization personality. Though every once in awhile they still fixate on his post-Flanderization characteristics of eating and randomly farting (see "Down and Outback" as a good example of the latter). |

Younger Than They Look: The Ice Dancers are only in their early twenties but have designs that look like they could easily be pushing thirty. |

Jerkass |
| Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race / int_eb8ec7c8 |
comment |
Jerkass: The Ice Dancers were this even before they gave up on all pretense of playing fair. Jacques often suffers during Josee's worst moments. Of course, Jacques proves he's just as much of a jerkass by purposefully ignoring Josee during a panic attack as revenge. MacArthur during her worst moments, though she's more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, particularly post Character Development. Taylor towards her mother. |

Platonic Life-Partners: A number of male-female relationships are these. Devin and Carrie were called this until they got a relationship upgrade. Tom and Jen, who have been working together for years, have zero romantic interest in each other. Josee and Jacques are also business partners. |

Gold Digger: Noah shows shades of this after he and Emma become a couple. He tells Owen that even if they lose, she'll be a lawyer and he'll "never have to work again". He does genuinely like her though, the money just sweetens it. |

Beware the Nice Ones: Laurie when someone reminds her she ate meat without there being any real need. She even ends up beating up Don. When Kelly's patience with Taylor finally runs out, mother puts her insolent daughter in her place first by revealing that all her trophies and achievements are fake, then hoisting Taylor high above on a window washing platform when she shows her mother disrespect one too many times. |

comment |
With Friends Like These...: Spud was one of The Load variety to Rock. He gets better later on. Josee gets away with a lot of abuse towards Jacques thanks to Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male. Similarly, Jacques ignores her cries during an underwater panic attack, leading to Josee almost running out of air. Same with Stephanie towards Ryan and vice versa. |
