History Series / UhOh

* ObviousBeta: ''Uh Oh!'''s predecessor run as an ''It's Alive'' segment.

* SuddenDeath: Generally, if the game ended in a tie, the winner was decided by a jump-in question, with the first to buzz in and answer correctly winning the game. If they were wrong, the other team won automatically, unless it was a three-way tie, than a buzz in and answer was still needed. Early in the final season, ties were determined by bobbing for Fruit Gushers, with whoever grabbed the Gusher with the higher point value winning.

* CoveredInGunge: A contestant's partner would have this happen if they got their Uh Oh! (Deluxe) question wrong, much to The Punisher's delight. Buckets of slime being poured on the contestants was a virtual guarantee. This was taken [[UpToEleven to the extreme]] in a 2000 episode where ''eight'' spins landed on the Uh Oh! space, six of which were ''all in the first round'', setting an all-time show record.

** TheAnnouncer: Mr. Voiceman (Dwayne Hill) and his uncredited season 4 replacement

* DifferentInEveryEpisode: Every episode had a unique structure, thanks to spins of the wheel determining each round's games and challenges, and not all wheel options were guaranteed to come up on a given day. Also, every Mayhem stunt was different, with only one (the object identifying game "What's That?") a possibility to be played in every episode.
* EarlyInstalmentWeirdness: Season 1 has some oddities and other things that make it feel out of place compared to future seasons:

* HarsherInHindsight: The Punisher grabbing contestants and audience members (let alone tossing them in pools of water) probably wouldn't fly today, at least not with many of their parents.

** ''Uh Oh!'' cast members made at least one appearance at the final YTV Achievement Awards (or YAA!) in 2000, where Wink Yahoo showcased his beatboxing skills, and The Punisher met his match at the hands of kids armed with Silly String.

* TheArtifact: The game show format aside, Wink Yahoo, Quizmaster Patricia, the Punisher character, and his original actor (Mike Beaver) were all holdovers from ''It's Alive!'', as was the conceit of having on-air talent playing a character, with the rest of the show's co-hosts comprised of new hires playing themselves.

* TheBully: The Punisher, from dumping slime on contestants (and carrying them into the chamber for said slimings), to squirting water and slime on audience members during his entrance and the commercial breaks.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Not only were the teams colour coded (red, blue, and green), but the ''audience'' was colour coded into cheering sections for them too! The Round 3 wheel's indicator was in a three-pronged shape that was also colour coded, so each team had their own indicator for wheel spinning. The Slime Tour/Field Games teams were also decked out in coloured outfits (yellow, orange, or purple), easing contestant choices when predicting who would win.

* {{Mascot}}: The Punisher, who even appeared in animated form in the intro. Keep in mind, he was the show's antagonist.

* {{Spinoff}}: A unique example of a game show being spun off from a sketch comedy show, ''It's Alive!'' (essentially ''You Can't Do That On Television'' for 1990s kids) featured a recurring sketch about a game show with shackled contestants that would get slimed, which was later adapted into a real game show segment (resembling the series' first round), and was finally expanded into it's own half hour program after ''It's Alive!'''s 1997 cancellation. Ultimately, ''Uh Oh!'' would run two years longer than ''It's Alive!'' did in first run, and it also got a much longer run of repeat airings.)

* TransAtlanticEquivalent: ''Series/DoubleDare'' (which didn't air in Canada, let alone on YTV) would be it's closest kin for American children's game shows, but ''Uh Oh!'' was less based on trivia and added a lot of varied gameplay options, for better or worse.

Children's [[GameShow game show]] on Creator/{{YTV}} that lasted from 1997-2003. A spin-off from the mid-1990s sketch comedy series ''It's Alive!'', ''Uh Oh!'' saw three contestant pairs compete in various stunts, games, and challenges (determined by the spin of a wheel) to earn points. In the show's eponymous "Uh Oh!" game, a wrong trivia answer would result in their partner getting slimed (an almost certainty on each episode), where a right answer earned the team 50 or 75 points. The first round and third round followed this format, while the second round saw contestants trying to predict the winners of an off-site obstacle course for 35 points, usually called the Slime Tour. Like fellow contemporary YTV game show ''[[VideoAndArcadeTop10 Video & Arcade Top 10]]'', ''Uh Oh!'' is a fond memory for many Canadian kids from the late 1990s and early 2000s, and reruns used to air on Discovery Kids (now the Canadian version of {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}) in the 2000s.

** Averted at the 2000 YTV Achievement Awards (or YAA!), where some kids finally got revenge on The Punisher by spraying him with Silly String on stage.

* GameShowAppearance: In a trope inversion, ''Uh Oh!'' was spun off from what was originally a scripted sketch on It's Alive!, which later morphed into a mini-game show, and then became it's own full fledged series.

* ObviousBeta: ''Uh Oh!'''s predecessor run as an ''It's Alive'' segment
* RunningGag: Mr. Voiceman had these in his opening intro, including asking the audience a "What do you say when..." question (always answered with their shout of "Uh Oh!", and always introducing Wink Yahoo as "the only Canadian/North American TV personality who...", followed by a weird random incorrect fact.

* TitleScream: The audience did this in response to Mr. Voiceman's question in the show's intro

** Patricia herself was an artifact, as her roles on the show (hosting the Speed Round and The Dump) could have easily been handled by Wink Yahoo without throwing the show into upheaval
