| Weird-Ohs | comment |
Weird-Ohs was a short-lived computer-animated cartoon series that aired on Fox Family and YTV in 1999. Running only 13 episodes in total, with each episode containing two 10 minute stories, it was one of the early products of Rainmaker Entertainment, back when they were still known as Mainframe Entertainment. Inspired by the Hawk Model Company's 1960s line of "Weird-ohs Car-icky-tures", a series of monster-driven hot-rod and dragster caricature assemble-and-paint model kits, Weird-Ohs tells the story of a small band of crazies living in "Weirdsville", a town filled with car-obsessed monsters stated to lie just off of Route 66, revolving in particular around the hijinks of young Digger and his older, dumber partner Eddie in the face of their need for entertainment and Digger's rivalry with his older sister Portia and local jerks Wade and Louie.The entire cast of characters consists of: Digger Chassis, a young Weird-Oh who has yet to pass his driving class. Eddie, an older teen Weird-Oh who isn't the brightest, but yearns to be a great inventor. Portia Chassis, Digger's older sister, who dreams of winning the heart of local hotshot biker, Davey. Baby Chassis, an infant Weird-Oh who drives around in a turbo-charged motorized pram, Digger and Portia's little brother. Mama-B Chassis, the owner of a local roadhouse diner and Digger, Portia and Chassis' mother. Daddy-O Chassis, genius inventor and a teacher at Digger's school, Mama-B's husband. Huey, Eddie's uncle, a crazy old swamp-rat who homebrews his own super-potent fuel. Wade, local rich kid and a huge jerk, always attended by his enormous butler/chauffeur/bodyguard, Killer McBash. Davey, a bike-riding Weird-Oh who is regarded as the local epitome of cool. Leaky Boat Louie, an ex-sailor and oddjobsman who is the local jerk. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
| Weird-Ohs / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Eddie tries to create a monster truck by using Daddy-O's experimental rubberized metal and his Uncle Huey's homebrew fuel. He gets a monster truck, alright... as in, a Mechanical Monster in the shape of a truck that parasitically sucks up fuel and keeps growing bigger and bigger. It levels Weirdsville before Baby Chassis takes it down with a spare diaper pin. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Weird-Ohs / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Eddie seems like a loser, a slacker and a lunk, but he deeply wants both to be a great mechanic like Daddy-O and to prove worthy to inherit his uncle Huey's recipe for homebrewing ultra-potent fuel. | |

Serious Business | |
| Weird-Ohs / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: Two examples, both in-universe: Driving. Weirdsville is obsessed with driving, to the point that driving lessons are part of the basic school curriculum. Huey's homebrewed fuel recipe. One of Eddie's two biggest dreams, other than becoming a great car inventor like Daddy-O, is to prove worthy to inherit the recipe. He actually does obtain this dream during the series, when he inadvertently completes a sample of the fuel with the secret ingredient: sweat. | |

Hillbilly Moonshiner: Eddie's uncle Huey has this aesthetic, but he brews fuel, not moonshine. He even sets traps to discourage people from trying to steal it, since its sheer potency is the stuff of legend in Weirdsville. | |

You Don't Look Like You | |
| Weird-Ohs / int_a4e3759e | comment |
You Don't Look Like You: The characters are all based on the Weird-Ohs model kits, but the connection can be very hard to determine, especially for some with changed names. In particular, Mama-B and Baby Chassis are based on the "Drag Hag" model kit, with Mama-B looking very different to the Butter Face Witch Classic of her model counterpart. Then there's Killer McBash; a crazed football player in the model, a giant but elegantly suited butler in the show. | |

Made of Indestructium: Invoked in-universe in the episode "Gods and Monster Trucks", where Daddy-O attempts to create "rubberized metal" that can be used to build cars that will literally bounce back into shape, no matter the abuse they take. The result is... less than successful. | |
