Wild Kratts is an long-running educational TV show produced for PBS Kids and TVO Kids which premiered in January 2011 and is currently ongoing. It's an animated and live action-mixed cartoon starring Martin and Chris Kratt of Kratts' Creatures, Zoboomafoo, and the short-lived Be the Creature fame. They travel around the world in a turtle-shaped, go-wherever transport they call Tortuga HQ along with three techies: Aviva, the head techie who built the creature power suits and other gadgets, Koki, who does a lot of data monitoring and communications work, and Jimmy Z, whose jobs seem to be teleport master, pilot, and eater of pizza. With the Creature Power Suits (devices that scan an animal's DNA and allow the user to transform into that animal), Martin and Chris can become any animal in the world, in a rather mecha-like way. Like its predecessors, the show's focus is on animal education and conservation, but because of the animated environment it's not limited by what the brothers happen to catch on tape. This means that they can show rare, ridiculously cool things like a bull sperm whale and a colossal squid battling it out.It reached its 10th year mark in January 2021.Not to be confused with WildCATS.

Artistic License – Ornithology
 Wild Kratts / int_11ee737
comment
Artistic License – Ornithology: In "Day of the Dodo", the great auk is described as a penguin. It was actually... well, an auk. This one is actually justified though— when great auks were discovered, they were initially called penguins, and only later was the name given to the birds that bear that name today. In "Roadrunner", the titular bird has three toes facing forward and one backward in some shots. Like all cuckoos, they actually have two facing forward and two backward (though the roadrunner is correctly shown with this arrangement when standing). The pelican in "Capture the Fishmobile" only has three toes webbed (a real pelican has all four toes webbed).

Bloodless Carnage
 Wild Kratts / int_135b9977
comment
Bloodless Carnage: Although it's quite frequently discussed that animals kill each other, actual bloodshed is avoided. Predators will either gulp down their prey, miss their targets, or finish a kill off-screen. Wounded animals may limp, but don't bleed on-camera. Carcasses, if shown, are either cleanly-intact or already disassembled into tidy, ambiguous chunks or bones. This was averted once, when a secretary bird was shown in the act of killing a snake, complete with visible blood.

Torment by Annoyance: Aviva coerces Donita into coughing up some coordinates by offering (i.e. threatening) to have the Wild Kratts team come hang out with her. Given a choice between spilling some information she doesn't much need to hide or being pestered by a bunch of annoying nature-lovers, Donita tells Aviva what she needs to know.

Chronically Crashed Car: More like Chronically Crashed Everything; if any of Team Kratt is off exploring in a one- or two-man vehicle, the odds are good that said vehicle will crash, break down, get chomped by a creature, or otherwise strand its occupant in the middle of nowhere. The Buzzbikes and Amphipod in particular must be impossible to insure by now, they've been wrecked so many times.

The Movie
 Wild Kratts / int_1bf94a24
comment
The Movie: Several: The first of them was "Back in Creature Time", which was really just two episodes sewn together to make a movie. The next one was "A Creature Christmas", which aired before the premiere of Nature Cat. The next one was "Creatures of the Deep Sea", which aired before the premiere of Splash and Bubbles The one after that was "Alaska: Hero's Journey", which was part of PBS Kids' initiative to bridge the summer learning gap. "Creepy Creatures", an extended Halloween Episode. "Amazin' Amazon Adventure": Exactly What It Says on the Tin, it takes place in the Amazon Rainforest. "Cats and Dogs", where the gang has to stop Zach from stealing wild canines and felines. On July 5, 2021, an interview with Variety lead to a brief announcement that a feature-length film based on the series is in production. It will mark the first theatrical production made by the Kratt brothers as well as their first theatrical appearance.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Wild Kratts / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Sometimes the characters will look into the camera, but they won't necessarily be talking to the audience. The only real time the fourth wall was genuinely broken was in the basilisk lizard episode - Chris and Martin were trying to catch a basilisk to activate their suits. Chris assumes a funny pose and declares it the "dead tree pose". Martin then looks into the camera, tries to stifle his smile, and indicates Chris with his thumb in a way that suggested the audience was supposed to know about his actions, but Chris wasn't. Another example can be found in "Termites vs. Tongues", although Martin says he's talking to himself and not necessarily to the audience, but they could take it a different way.

Watch Out for That Tree!: If there's a tree around, there's a good chance one of the boys will smack into it; heck, one on the part of Chris even made it into the opening. Note this isn't limited to trees either (Martin running down a lion twice in the same episode, also in the opening, is a noteworthy example).

Vocal Evolution: Due to Martin and Chris's real life children voicing the characters sharing their names, it can be easy to tell a modern episode from an earlier installment due to the deepness of their voices; Gavin and Aiden are the most significant in this regard, with both of their recent appearances having their voices drop a few octaves due to puberty.

 Wild Kratts / int_2fc1775a
comment
Somewhere, a Herpetologist Is Crying: Nile crocodiles are portrayed with alligator-like overbites. Like all crocodiles, they actually have their lower teeth interlocking with their upper teeth. Gets egregious in "Crocogator Contest", which accurately point out that crocodiles are differentiated from alligators by having the lower teeth visible when the mouth is closed. Crocodilians are depicted with too many claws on their hands and feet. As archosaurs, they should have claws on only three of their fingers and toes. The episode featuring Komodo dragons perpetrates the myth that they take one bite of their prey and wait until it dies.

comment
Unnamed Parent: Unless the bros happen to meet the adult(s) first, Martin tends to name baby animals, but not their parents. Even recurring animal-characters like "Bumper's Mom" are referred to in the manner of this trope.

 Wild Kratts / int_35022c20
comment
No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: In "Chameleons On Target", Aviva claims she'll have to repeat an entire year's work to recreate the ring chip she's been working on. Evidently without taking any notes or making a backup copy ... even though she'd need two to equip both the Power Suits. The "No Backup" aspect of this trope is broadly applicable for a lot of episodes. There's only one set of keys for the Tortuga or Createrra, only one Miniaturizer or Time Trampoline recall device, no backup radios on the Buzz Bikes in case the Creature Pods get damaged, no reserve tellurium in the Tortuga's stocks, etc...

William Telling: In a non-projectile example, Aviva tests the raptorial forelegs for the Praying Mantis Power Disc on Martin, snatching an apple from on top of his head. Martin is clearly nervous that he's going to be struck by the oncoming appendages.

All Deserts Have Cacti
 Wild Kratts / int_3aaa9cd0
comment
All Deserts Have Cacti: The bros feed Koala Balloon some prickly pear cactus to hydrate him, because there's no eucalyptus available in the desert. Justified, because there are prickly pear in Australia, albeit as an invasive species. Also justified in the episodes set in the Sonoran desert, since that's where cacti are native to.

Gambler's Fallacy: The brothers know that 1 in 500 narwhals have two tusks, so they keep re-activating their Narwhal Powers to try and get two. They openly state that every failure increases their odds of success, and both brothers finally get the double-tusks they're looking for after about 500 attempts. The brothers know that 1 in 16 jaguars is of the melanoid "Black Panther" variant. When activating their Jaguar Powers, Chris gets the Black Panther variant on the first try, while Martin has to keep reactivating to get it.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Aviva- Donita acts the exact same way Aviva does, yet everyone loves Aviva and hates Donita. She bullies the boys to the point she doesn't have to do anything but give them the Thousand-Yard Stare, thinks she's better than nature itself (and has even tried to beat it [Cheetah Racer]), and more often than not doesn't listen. However, at least she's saving animals instead of enslaving them, and she has been known to give out hugs (whether or not the recipient expects one). Because of the episodes being out of order, could be Took a Level in Jerkass.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The pilot episode, "Polar Bears Don't Dance," sports different animation, different rules for the power suits (which seem to be actual suits in this episode alone, rather than entire body transformations), a different director, and different designs for both the exterior and interior of the Tortuga. The show's first season's episodes don't open with a globe that tells the audience where in the world the Kratts and the featured animal are, something that would be adopted in the rest of the show's runtime.

Meaningful Name
 Wild Kratts / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Corcovado (Aviva's last name) is a city in South America. Aviva is of Spanish or Hispanic descent. The Tortuga (Spanish for "tortoise" or "turtle"). Aviva is actually a relatively common girl's name in Hebrew, meaning "springtime." Nothing comes up when you search for its meaning in Spanish. "Aviva" could be a diminutive offshoot of "Vivian", which is Latinate for "life". Not a bad choice for a character on a show about Nature's living wonders.

Magic A Is Magic A: Subverted with the Creature Power Suits. Most of the time, they need a disc, DNA, and a button press. On occasion, they've been activated without a disc ("Tazzy Chris", where the activation button was bitten), from the other brother's suit ("Mom of a Croc", where Chris activated his dragonfly suit off Martin's already activated dragonfly suit), with the wrong disc ("Mom of a Croc", where they activated their Gharial discs off a crocodile; it just didn't last as long), and even vocally ("Whale of a Squid"). Zach once figures out how to use past activations to re-activate creature powers, giving the Kratts some trouble. Surprisingly, (to this viewer anyway), Aviva doesn't try to figure this out for herself so that the Kratts would be able to reactivate at their leisure.

Nominal Importance: Any animal Martin names can be counted on to survive the episode, even if others of its kind get snapped up by predators. Particularly conspicuous in "Squirmy Wormy", as lots of (unnamed) worms get gobbled by birds or moles even as the brothers struggle to save Pinkie. Subverted in "The Cobra King" where an Indian mongoose kills an Indian cobra Martin named "Hoodie".

Giving Them the Strip
 Wild Kratts / int_70b840b6
comment
Giving Them the Strip: When the others try to drag him away from Madagascar by his heels, Chris (determined not to leave without seeing a fossa) unties his bootlace and slips away with one bare sock. Martin loses his boot to a gila monster's bite this way, as the stubborn lizard won't let go of it when Koki and Jimmy (not realizing the reptile's teeth hadn't penetrated the boot) haul Martin back to the Tortuga for emergency medical treatment. In "Musk Ox Mania", Zack gets chased by Baby Tooth's pack because his thick fur coat makes him look like a musk ox. Aviva suggests he take off the coat to escape the Arctic wolves, and he does so when Baby Tooth grabs its coattails. This saves the day as well as Zack, as an item he'd stolen from Chris is in one of the coat pockets.

Wrench Wench: Aviva, the original inventor of the Creature Power Suits, as well as several other gadgets. It could be argued that she built the Tortuga as well, though between her inventing and Koki's knowledge and repair skills, it's debatable. Koki also counts since she's the repairwoman of the Tortuga.

Gourmand, Zach and Donita each have their own nicknames for the Bros. Gourmand calls them Blueberry and Green Grape. Zach calls them Blue Boy and Green Guy. Donita calls them Martino and Chrisangelo (although she calls Chris "Christo" once), perhaps to distinguish herself as one who comes up with unique and artistic ideas, unlike the others, whose nicknames are based on their favourite colours.

Volatile Tasmanian Devil: Tasmanian devils were featured in the episode Tazzie Chris, and they notably gross out Koki because of their scavenging habits and believe firmly in this trope (she gets better), but cause Chris' Power-Suit to malfunction hard, turning him into a Wre-Devil per se. However, they're generally portrayed as they are in Real Life and so aren't the crazed creatures in other examples, making this a Downplayed Trope.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Wild Kratts / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: The episode for the Tasmanian Devils was based on an incident in Australia that a bacteria was causing the T-Devils to drop dead. Later in "Stuck on Sharks" which aims to raise awareness of the meal known as Shark Fin Soup, which involves hunting and killing sharks only to use a small part of their body. This has significantly impacted shark populations which still have yet to recover. In early 2014, Martin found a snowy owl outside and was inspired to create a Season 4 episode titled "Snowy Owl Invasion".

Somewhere, a Mammalogist Is Crying
 Wild Kratts / int_7ace2582
comment
Somewhere, a Mammalogist Is Crying: When African bat-eared foxes are discussed in "The Food Chain Game", a red fox is shown. Another episode perpetuates the claim that honey badgers follow honeyguides to bee nests, which is extremely dubious at best. Also, mustelids like the honey badger are no longer considered to be "cousins" (or at least not first cousins) to skunks, which have their own Family now. "A Huge Orange Problem" claims orangutans are the only apes in Asia, while forgetting about gibbons and siamangs. They probably meant to say the only great apes in Asia, which orangutans are (not counting humans). "This Orca Likes Sharks" makes the common mistake of claiming that orcas are dolphins but not whales. Dolphins are actually a type of toothed whale.

Vague Age: Everyone, really, but especially the Kratt brothers. In real life, they're 47 (Martin) and 43 (Chris). They have stated in an interview only that they're in the best shape of their lives, but did not explicitly say their cartoon counterparts are younger, although one website reveals that Martin and Chris are in their late 20s. Given Gourmand and Donita's aged look, you can sort of assume there's an age discrepancy regarding the brothers, but we don't know for sure.

And then the beavers steal the paddle again, but Chris decides enough is enough.

Polar Bears and Penguins: The brothers debunk this trope for Jimmy when he's reluctant to leave the Tortuga in Antarctica, for fear of polar bears. Then they have to avert this trope by rescuing some penguins from the Arctic, where Donita Donata had dumped them after deciding they weren't good fashion accessories. Also a case of Truth in Television, in that penguins are from a continent where they have no terrestrial predators, which means bad news for said penguins in a world inhabited by polar bears and arctic wolves.

What Happened to the Mouse?

comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: In the episode "Rattlesnake Crystal," Chris and Martin disembark from the Tortuga on horses. (They don't mention where they got the horses or if they routinely store horses in the Tortuga.) Later, in separate incidents, each of the horses runs off, leaving the Kratt brothers on foot. Not only do the brothers make no remark about the horses when they run away, but they also make no effort to find them; and at the end of the episode, the horses are still missing and are apparently not at all missed by any of the Tortuga crew. During the "Creepy Creatures" Halloween special, Gourmand is seen pursuing a spotted hyena and putting it into his vehicle along with a bat-eared fox. These animals are never displayed in Zach's Scary Animal Mansion and are never shown being rescued, so their fate is unknown.

Truth in Television: Donita's fashion line is a subversion of this, but Gourmand in Stuck on Sharks played this trope painfully (and squickily) straight- Shark Fin Soup is a real (and real expensive) thing.

Frisky Ferret: One episode featured a black-footed ferret named Bandito that Martin met in the praries. Even though he can be cute, sometimes he can be sneaky. This is shown by him popping up behind Martin and biting his behind.

Always a Bigger Fish: First, mama sperm whale vs. giant squid. Mama is taken out by fishing net, leaving baby sperm whale Bumper at risk. Enter colossal squid. Enter papa sperm whale, who eats the colossal squid. Both "Stuck on Sharks" and especially "This Orca Likes Sharks" features orcas preying on great whites. At one point in the penguin episode, the Kratts in penguin form are chased by a leopard seal, which is chased by an orca.

Identical Grandson: In the "Back in Creature Time" two-parter, the bros encounter Gourmand's fifteen-greats grandpa on 16th century Mauritius, and the great-grandparents of Donita and Dabio on 19th century Tasmania. By their looks, voices and behavior, all three could be their modern descendents' siblings.

Cruella to Animals
 Wild Kratts / int_8ea2f1bf
comment
Cruella to Animals: Surprisingly averted for the most part. Most of the villains' mistreatment of animals is out of apathy and indifference to the creatures' well-being than outright sadism. But Gourmand did once say that the thought of cooking endangered animals always picks up his mood. As for Zach, it's only when the Kratts try reasoning with him that Zach goes out of his way to harm animals just to spite them.

Phlebotinum Breakdown: A blue jay pecks Martin's suit while he's holding an acorn. Cue Martin-the-tree, which was definitely not supposed to happen. Also when a T-Devil bites Chris' suit in "Tazzy Chris". The way Seven becomes a mishmash Mix-and-Match Critter can be attributed to the octopus wearing two power suit vests at once, which caused a serious glitch such that each new animal's powers were added to previous ones instead of supplanted by them.

 Wild Kratts / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: The episode "Little Howler" has a flashback involving the episode where Chris used the Creature Power Suit to become a gazelle. Also in "Let the Rhinos Roll"- the reason Chris Bot was wearing red is because when in certain countries during Kratts' Creatures, Chris would wear a red shirt. Speaking of Kratts' Creatures, occasional episode titles get dropped (such as "Maximum Cheetah Velocity!" in both "Mimic" and "Cheetah Racer"), and both that series and Be the Creature get occasional moment nods. Other episodes can be littered with several nods to past ones. "Raptor Round Up" is a good example, cameoing the honeyguide (or at least a honeyguide) from "Honey Seekers", while Chris also references the dough balls incident from the same episode a little while later.

Amusingly enough, an in-series example! Chris falls victim to this through Fridge Logic in "Kickin' It With the Roos", as only female kangaroos have pouches (and he had one). One YouTube user also pointed out that Martin is the "blue" brother, and female roos are also blue (but he didn't have a pouch, so YMMV on that one).

Briar Patching: Used by Martin on Zach in "The Gecko Effect". Of course, Zach is an idiot when it comes to animals, so Martin has to go and explain what geckos "are," while still pretending he doesn't know Zach is listening.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Martin-the-Bass has a little problem with lure reactions. Also averted with a LOT of the episodes—okay, fine, every episode—because the Kratts always get distracted, and never stay on their ONE task assigned, although they come to their senses eventually.

Color-Coded Characters
 Wild Kratts / int_bb660963
comment
Color-Coded Characters: Martin wears blue, Chris wears green. Becomes one of the more obvious hints that something's up in "Let the Rhinos Roll!". Also happens to be how Zach identifies them, as "Blue Boy" and "Green Guy". Played with when the brothers go out of their way to retain their color-coding. In "Blowfish Blowout", when the miniaturized Kratts need to conceal themselves among plankton, Martin passed up the chance to disguise himself with dark green sea scum, handing it over to Chris and riding a (transparent, yet depicted as light blue) bubble instead. Their favored dragonfly-forms likewise match their colors. Also, Aviva in "Octopus Wildkratticus" and "Birds of a Feather", seeing as how her scuba suit and her Bird of Paradise suit were purple. Koki was a later addition to the trope. Throughout the episodes, we could tell that she favored orange, but it was made offical in The Amazing Creature Race, when she transformed into an orange cheetah.

Rule 63
 Wild Kratts / int_c26a5838
comment
Rule 63: Amusingly enough, an in-series example! Chris falls victim to this through Fridge Logic in "Kickin' It With the Roos", as only female kangaroos have pouches (and he had one). One YouTube user also pointed out that Martin is the "blue" brother, and female roos are also blue (but he didn't have a pouch, so YMMV on that one). This happens again in "Birds of a Feather." Not only is Aviva lent a power suit to use with male Bird-of-Paradise power, but Martin activates off of a female one later, which even becomes a plot point. In the opossum story, both brothers' opossum-power suits have pouches, probably because they'd both touched Jill the mother opossum to activate their disks.

Felony Misdemeanor: The villains on the show are often not breaking any laws, just being callous toward wildlife — sometimes down to the point of only endangering one or two members of a populous species.

Shout-Out
 Wild Kratts / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Arctic Pearl belongs in the museum! Martin jumps over Chris in "Bass Class". Zach has Zachbots. They look pretty similar to Jack-Bots. "Creature Power Challenge" isn't the first time we've seen an elephant & rhino fight. The episode title "A Bat in the Brownies" is a play on the phrase "bat in the belfry". In "Attack of the Tree Eating Aliens", Chris turns into a woodpecker that's pecking is out of control, screaming "Stop this crazy thing!" In "Back in Creature Time - Part 2", Martin wanted to bring a baby Tasmanian Tiger "Back to the Future". Zach: "I'm gonna jump back to the future!" "Road Runner" has various shout-outs to the classic ''Looney Tunes'' Road Runner cartoons: In the process of trying to catch a fast-moving lizard, Chris and Martin fall off a cliff, slam into the side of a cliff, and use a giant slingshot (which lands Chris into a cactus). At one point, Chris (with road runner powers) is chased by a coyote. Chris notes he thought he'd heard "from somewhere" that road runners could outrun coyotes, wondering if it was at the "Albuquerque Zoo." Unfortunately, Martin notes that coyotes can catch road runners (which Chris finds out the hard way). The brothers warn Zach that it's unwise to call Huge-O the orangutan a "monkey". In "Build It Beaver", a rescued raccoon toys with Kokie's computer screen, and brings up a video game that looks very much like Pac-Man, except with Zackbots in place of ghosts. Martin reads The Jungle Book at the beginning of "The Dhole Duplicator", and narrates a passage from the story "Red Dog". In "Iron Wolverine", Martin's otherwise-blue Wolverine Power Mode has yellow blaze-marks on its black torso. Also, Aviva effortlessly cuts a rope with a claw-slash while testing out the new mode's forelimb-armature.

The Nicknamer: Martin names all of their animal friends. All of them. This is justified as this was a staple in the previous shows of the Kratt brothers; it's to help children connect with the animal of the day. Gourmand, Zach and Donita each have their own nicknames for the Bros. Gourmand calls them Blueberry and Green Grape. Zach calls them Blue Boy and Green Guy. Donita calls them Martino and Chrisangelo (although she calls Chris "Christo" once), perhaps to distinguish herself as one who comes up with unique and artistic ideas, unlike the others, whose nicknames are based on their favourite colours.

Rule of Animation Conservation: Chris and Martin weren't as young and spry as they used to be; they couldn't get physically involved in their work to the same extent they did in Kratts' Creatures or Zoboomafoo. Wild Kratts enabled the brothers to show and show themselves doing much more then would otherwise be possible by giving voice to their animated selves. Besides, it's much easier and less expensive to incorporate fantasy elements into 2D animation as opposed to using computer generated imagery or combining with live action.

Keet: Chris and Martin are so enthusiastic about what they do that it's like they're a two-man fraternity. When they're really in the zone, it is as if they share a single mind.

comment
Crossover: The Kratt brothers appeared in the beginning of the Odd Squad episode "Night Shift". The show had a crossover with Nature Cat called "Wild Batts!", where Chris and Martin appeared as bats. The Kratts guest-star in the Molly of Denali episode "Cry Wolf", where the characters search for a missing wolf pack.

Swallowed Whole
 Wild Kratts / int_eea96e78
comment
Swallowed Whole: Happens to plenty of prey animals, as the show practices Bloodless Carnage yet doesn't shy away from the fact that animals in nature eat one another a lot. Played with in "Cheeks the Hamster", when Martin shoves Cheeks into his mouth whole ... not to eat him but to protect him, by holding the little rodent in his Hamster-Power cheek pouches long enough to elude the fox kits.

Mundane Utility: Martin and Chris have been known to use the Creature Power suits to just goof off instead of saving animals. In the Christmas Episode, Aviva talks Koki into donning a Power Suit so she can use Blue Jay Powers to string lights and ribbon on the very tall tree they're decorating.

Backported Development: Octopus Wildkratticus showed two things at the same time: 1) Scenes that never happened, 2) In Creature Power Suits that do not exist either a- in the state they were shown or b- at all (such as Martin's Honey Badger suit- there was never a second disc. Chris was the Honey Badger that episode). The series has Plot Holes overall, because the episodes are out of order.

Mix-and-Match Critters: Happens to a poor octopus in "Octopus Wildkratticus". He had walrus tusks, shark teeth and a whale body. Also happens to the guys in the events of power-suit malfunctions ("Creepy Creatures", "Uh Oh, Ostrich!"), or jamming of specific components ("The Great Creature Tail Fail").

Drives Like Crazy
 Wild Kratts / int_f96f188c
comment
Drives Like Crazy: Martin does a bit of this off-screen in "Let the Rhinos Roll!", in which he apparently drives their jeep flying over a ravine. Chris good-naturedly chews him out over it while he fixes the poor thing. There's some on-screen bad driving by Martin in the beginning of "Aardvark Town." It could be argued that Chris can't drive either, judging by his handling (or lack thereof) of the sub at the beginning of "Whale of a Squid", as well as the Butterflier XT.

Talking to Themself
 Wild Kratts / int_fb8b5014
comment
Talking to Themself: Somewhat justified when a character has to expound so that the audience will understand, since the Kratts (or an alternative writer) don't seem to want to Break the Fourth Wall. However, Gourmand talks to himself just for the heck of it, and even sings little jingles he makes up about eating endangered animals to himself.

Comically Missing the Point: Jimmy. According to him, sharks give birth to puppies. As in "baby dogs". (Sharks babies are called "pups".) Seems to be mixed with Obfuscating Stupidity. In "Seahorse Rodeo", Dabio sees the diamonds are holograms projected from the Tortuga. Looking at the diamonds, then at the projector , apparently trying to put two-and-two together. Then he tries to take a bite of his club sandwich.

Larynx Dissonance: Chris imitating a girl, with pure swagger, no less, in "When Fish Fly". The purpose? To mock Koki and Aviva. About one minute later, the said girls reflect the same sentence Chris had spoken right back to the two brothers, resulting in a Collective Groan from both of them.
