| Zeke's Pad | comment |
Zeke's Pad is an animated TV show and is a Canada–Australia co-production between Bardel Entertainment, Flying Bark Productions, Star Farm Productions, and Leaping Lizard Productions in association with Seven Network and YTV.Zeke Palmer is an imaginative artist and skateboarder who lives with a weird and wacky family. His Pad is an amazing electronic gadget that is a mobile phone, PDA, GPS, MP3 player and a drawing tablet all rolled into one. Zeke's pad has a unique glitch: anything he draws comes to life. Being a creative artist that he is, Zeke is constantly drawing and making his drawings come to life. But he learns that for every action there is a reaction, and things don't turn out the way he imagines. | |

Art Initiates Life | |
| Zeke's Pad / int_3bc22d58 | comment |
Art Initiates Life: The titular Pad. Unlike most examples of this trope, the pad doesn't usually bring the exact subject of Zeke's drawings to life, but rather causes the events symbolized by the drawings to happen; for example, a drawing of a snowy landscape covers the entire Earth in snow, fulfilling a wish to have a snow day and delay a test. This even applies to abstract concepts—when Zeke crosses out a drawing of a person's hands being crossed behind their back, a symbol of lying, people lose their ability to lie and only say what they truly think. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When Zeke creates a snowstorm out of nowhere in "Artful Dodger", the Palmers had no time to do the necessary preparations (e.g. stocking up on food and water). This results in them being Snowed-In with no food, no heating, and no running water. | |

| Zeke's Pad / int_9c4a7090 | comment |
Springtime for Hitler: In "A Little Sketchy", a miniurized Zeke and Jay take control of Rachel's brain, so that she will blow her rehearsal for a minor part in a play, and thus not spoil Zeke's vacation. They make Rachel look like an absolute fool, bur her emotional performance winds up earning her the lead role. | |

World of Technicolor Hair: Every member of the Palmer family has different, unnatural hair colors. "Model Family" proves that this has been going on for at least a hundred years. | |

Christmas Every Day | |
| Zeke's Pad / int_a6c8a8de | comment |
Christmas Every Day: A variant in "Drawn Out Holiday": after Zeke wishes not to return to school, his family celebrates holiday after holiday every day, even if they don't make sense calendar-wise. In addition to major holidays like Christmas and St. Patrick's Day, they also celebrate more obscure holidays such as Talk Like a Pirate Day and Martial Arts Day. | |

Art Attacker: Anything Zeke draws on his pad comes to life. He can use this for attacks, and in the opening credits is shown using it to stick a toilet plunger on to an annoying dog's muzzle. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
| Zeke's Pad / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: The basic moral of the series (along with 'There are no shortcuts'). Whenever Zeke uses the Pad to create something he wants, it almost never works out like he thinks it will. Relaxing his mother's cleaning rules turns her into an even more tyrannical Pigpen. His perfect pet becomes a menace to life, limb, and property. Trying to think like a girl turns him into a girl. And so on. | |

Happily Married: Zeke's parents, Alvin and Ida Palmer. So much so that his parents not getting along is one of Zeke's greatest fears. When he thinks they are drifting apart in "Brush with Love", he attempts to use the magic Pad to put things right, and just ends making everything much, much worse. | |

Writers Cannot Do Math: One of the game show questions in "Luck of the Draw" is "236-7*6+25". The "correct" answer given on the show is 1,289, but the actual correct answer is 219. Ignoring the PEMDAS rule and doing each part of the operation one at a time, the answer becomes 1,399. | |
