| Zula Patrol | comment |
3D/CG animated television series aimed at preschoolers to 2nd Graders that started airing on PBS Kids in 2005 and now runs on Qubo. Created by Deb Manchester in 1998, Zula Patrol was originally a set of characters on cast covers, then a children's book series. The TV series was designed to entertain while promoting an understanding of science and astronomy through engaging character-driven stories, which focus on specific educational science learning objectives. In every episode of The Zula Patrol, the characters demonstrate inquiry-based learning and critical thinking skills. They also model inquisitiveness, observation, self-reflection, and social experiences that encourage collaboration, teamwork, and an excitement for scientific exploration and problem solving.Despite its target audience, the show has a small Periphery Demographic, but you won't hear a lot of people talking about it, since the show's somewhat obscure.Of course, in every new episode, they do learn something new and science-y. However, the show breaks the laws of science about once per new idea they teach. | |

Humanoid Aliens: If you were supposed to be a living creature, expect to appear like a humanoid version of your related species, and possibly with alien features too. | |

As the Good Book Says...: The versions of the episodes that aired on Smile of a Child had Christian values blatantly shoehorned in. | |

Lethal Chef | |
| Zula Patrol / int_35ae6a23 | comment |
Lethal Chef: Multo. Several episodes depict him making food with all sorts of things, most of them bugs, which the other members of the Zula Patrol aren't exactly fond of eating. His status is known throughout the galaxy, as even planets, including the Sun herself in 'Sun Day', refused to eat his food. 'Chili Cook-Off' shows what happens when it's left to cool, in which it becomes a massive whirlwind that nearly demolishes their kitchen. 'Time Out' and 'Blue Moon' are also good examples of this trope. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Zula Patrol / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Dark Truder's signature fallback plan. Also expect Traxie, his talking hairpiece, as part of it. Deliria herself has this problem. She can shape shift to avoid capture, but part of her disguise will always show some part of her face in it. Expect her hapless robot servant, Cloid, to be part of the disguise, mainly as a distraction to thrown the team off guard. | |

Animation Evolution | |
| Zula Patrol / int_6bc35afc | comment |
Animation Evolution: The newer episodes have characters all bouncy and stretchy, when they didn't deform when moving in the first seasons. This is most obvious in the intro, where Multo now appears more like an inflated balloon float in his part of the theme song. | |

Origins Episode | |
| Zula Patrol / int_7bc8c453 | comment |
Origins Episode: "Three Ringed Gorga" reveals that Gorga was formerly the most famous performer at Umbra and Penumbra's Flying Circus. He later started getting tired of it, and tried to go with the moon for adventures. The greedy ringmaster then tried to capture him, but Gorga escaped and launched the circus to nowhere. After saying his goodbyes to the moon, Gorga accepted Bula's offer to be on the Zula Patrol. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Zula Patrol / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To Alien, of all things. Specifically, the tagline. Dark Truder: Dark (In-) Truder is a pun on Darth (Dark In-) Vader from Star Wars. The episode "May the Force Be Wigg You" is another pun on a Star Wars concept, with "With" being replaced with a character's name in Wigg. | |

Great Big Book of Everything: The Multopedia. Every principle taught is in here, somewhere. And it IS a Door Stopper. Then on top of that it can project a hologram of a principle, and people are routinely shown going inside the book to "physically" see the stuff inside. | |
