Yakkity Yak was a short-lived Canadian-Australian show created by Australian animator Mark Gravas (who also created CJ the DJ) and produced by Canada's Studio B Productions and Australia's Kapow Pictures for Nickelodeon and Teletoon.It was a show about Yakkity, a yak who dreams of becoming a famous comedian, and his friends, an anthropomorphic pineapple named Keo (don't ask why) and a female human named Lemony (and on some occasions, a robot girl named Penelope).

15 Minutes of Fame: Considering that the premise involes Yakkity trying to become famous, this tends to happen a lot; In "I Want My Yak TV, Yakkity gets huge metal braces for his antlers, and they end up intercepting the sattelite signals, which pretty much turn him into a glorified TV antenna. Everyone begins using Yakkity's brace as a means to watch free TV, which end up causing Yakkity to become famous... until he realizes that everyone was using him for the brace. Everyone ends up abandoning him when the brace gets broken. "And That's the Weather" establishes Granny Yak being able to predict the weather by the way her bunions are acting up. Yakkity uses this to become a heavily acclaimed weatherman, who appears borderline psychic to the townsfolk. However, Granny Yak then gets her bunions removed, leading Yakkity and Keo to hatch a Zany Scheme using Prof. Crazyhair's new weather-making machine. Yakkity's 15 minutes promptly end when Granny Yak pours garbage into the weather machine (mistaking it for a garbage can) after Yakkity predicted a nice sunny day. "High Fashion Yak". Yakkity is forced by his grandmother to wear a new hat that he clearly hates, and he immediately gives it to Keo, who loves the hat. As a matter of fact, everyone falls in love with the hat, and with the help of Mr. Highpants, Yakkity and Keo end up becoming instant celebrities for starting a new fashion trend. But then, when a man comes into the candy shop wearing an imitation, Highpants declares the fad to be over, and Yakkity and Keo try to come up with a new fashion trend so they can remain popular. They decide to make jumpsuits out of life rafts, and while everyone enjoys that at first, they end up hating it when the rafts started inflating.

Game Show Appearance: In "The Yak In The Hat", everyone tries to convince Keo to appear on a quiz show because he knows all the answers, but he can't do it because he has extreme stage fright. So Yakkity decides to go on the show instead, wearing a giant hat for Keo to hide in, so he can give him the answers.

The Unwitting Comedian: Actually an inversion— Yakkity's main goal in the series is to become a successful comedian, but it doesn't really take off because nobody thinks he's funny.
