It's not made explicitly clear whether the clone is an ExpendableClone or not, but considering that Oprah doesn't get rid of it when the interview is over, it's possible that she views it as a real being.

Both Ovidio and Orla also greet each other in Spanish before Orla realizes that not all of her viewers speak Spanish, and she uses the Translator-inator to translate Ovidio's words to English. In addition, Ovidio's lullaby is sung entirely in Spanish.
* GravityMaster: At the end of "Meet Agent Olo", it's revealed that Olo has the ability to move her chair on her own, without using any outside forces (like her feet or someone else pushing it), by simply curling herself into a tight ball and saying "meeeeep". It's an ability that carries over from when she accidentally turned herself into a dustball, as she would use that method to move.

Mileage varies among the fanbase, however, on whether ''[=OddTube=]'' has actually jumped the shark in terms of the ''Odd Squad'' franchise as a whole.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Orla displays some {{Fangirl}} tendencies when she gets a chance to interview Oprah in "Know a Big O". This is despite the fact that Orla interacts with the Big O in nearly every episode, where she gives her and her partners cases to solve.
* LavaPit: It's heavily implied that Orla once swam in a volcano in "Meet an Agent From Around the Globe". To her, it was just another body of water, and if the casual way she brings it up is any indication, she doesn't seem to have received any injuries.

Despite being an Odd Squad Director, he gets tired after doing menial things like making eight snow angels and has his energy sapped when he gives TheGoldenRule as a bit of helpful advice for other Directors, immediately falling asleep when Orla allows him to take a nap.

* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Arctic Mr. O encourages those who want to be Odd Squad Directors to get plenty of rest. For most, that might mean a nap, when they have the time to. Arctic Mr. O, on the other hand, doesn't take a single nap -- he strives to get so much rest that he takes ''eight naps a day.''
* ReducedToDust: In "Meet Agent Olo", the titular agent tells a lengthy story of the time she accidentally turned herself into a dust ball by accidentally knocking over the Dust-Ball-inator gadget. According to her, she didn't have a mouth to cry for help with and she could barely move. The only way she could move was to squeeze herself into a tight ball and say "meep", which only allowed her to move a tiny bit. According to her, she remained as a dust ball for s month until she eventually landed on the gadget, and a Scientist kicked it with his foot, causing her to turn back to normal.

* SoundEffectBleep: Olo's "meeeeep" sounds when she was a dustball definitely ring a bell to this, although there's no swearing of any sort in ''[=OddTube=]''. Eventually it became [[MemeticMutation memetic]] in the fandom and became often used by fans to censor swear words of their own.
Added DiffLines:
* TastesLikePurple: As the Big O, Oprah has new juice boxes that are monochrome in color. She gives one to Orla for her to try, and when she asks her what the flavor is, her response is "Power. With a hint of cranberry."
Added DiffLines:
** The Season 2 episode "Know a Big O" actively defies this trope. Orla explains that she is in one of the offices of the Big O, but doesn't reveal where the location of the office is, as an intentional move by the writers.

Season 2 has two transitions -- one of a small jackalope riding a horse that is creating dust clouds (befitting Orla's ancient warrior status), and another of the Mobile Unit van shooting lightning bolts and often decorated to match the theme of the episode.
Added DiffLines:
* TerribleArtist: Averted. All of the drawings seen in Season 1 -- the transitions, the endcards, etcetera -- are implied to have all been drawn by Olympia. Since the drawings in Season 2 look pretty much the same, it's safe to assume she drew those as well.

None
Added DiffLines:
* ComicallySmallBribe: Inverted. The way Olympia got Oprah's permission to create ''[=OddTube=]'' was by offering her a ludicrous amount of juice boxes. Oprah being [[TheAlcoholic who she is,]] she happily takes the bribe.

-> '''Oprah:''' Then I said, "Okay." But when Olympia said she wanted her show to be interactive and have people vote and ask her questions, I said, "Absolutely not!" Then she gave me ''these'' juice boxes.

''[=OddTube=]'' is a VlogSeries that serves as a SpinOff from the TV show ''Series/OddSquad''. The first season, comprised of 20 episodes, premiered on November 10, 2016 and concluded its run on March 23, 2017. Three years later, in 2020, it was announced that the series would get a 12-episode second season that would premiere in the fall. However, for unknown reasons, it was pushed forward to the summer and premiered on June 10, 2020, with the season finale releasing on August 26, 2020.
Originally conceived as the pet project of Agent Olympia, Season 1 focuses on her as she reveals all sorts of hidden secrets about Precinct 13579, encourages interaction from viewers (such as voting on the official seal for the series), and performs interviews with guests, both villain and agent alike, among other things. Season 2 features a shift in hosting duties with Agent Orla taking over for Olympia, traveling around the world, interviewing agents and even passing the hosting mantle to her fellow teammates on occasion.
While the series was initially released on Website/{{YouTube}}, it has since made its way to linear broadcast, airing as interstitials between episodes of ''Odd Squad'' on both Creator/PBSKids and TVO Kids. However, due to time constraints, episodes are often shortened to make room for promotional material for other shows.

!!Tropes:
* TheCameo: Numerous characters make cameos in Season 1. By far the most famous cameo is that of Olive, the role of which Dalila Bela reprises.
* CharacterBlog: For Olympia originally, then for Orla.
* ColdOpen: Each episode opens up with the host saying "[=OddTube=] will start now!" in some way or another, such as doing cartwheels while saying it or changing outfits with each word.
* EdutainmentShow: Naturally. This ''is'' a SpinOff of ''Series/OddSquad'', after all.
* PassingTheTorch: Played with. In the Season 2 premiere, "Welcome to [=OddTube=] Season Two!", Orla takes over hosting duties for the show. However, it's heavily implied that Olympia didn't pass hosting duties on to her -- rather, Orla is hosting her ''own'' show that is also called ''[=OddTube=]'', and calls Olympia for advice on how to start it. Despite this, Orla also seems to imply (within the same sentence, no less) that two shows, both coincidentally named ''[=OddTube=]'' and hosted by two separate people, don't exist in the same universe, and instead, there is just one ''[=OddTube=]''.
* ProductPlacement: Parodied. Every episode has the current host giving an "[=OddTube=] is brought to you by [mathematical lesson]" message, which serves as the {{Aesop}}.
* SpinOff: Of ''Series/OddSquad'', conceived as a way for Creator/PBSKids to cater to older audiences who prefer the kinds of Website/{{YouTube}} videos that have a host directly speaking to, and engaging with, the audience. It's also the first digital-form spin-off for the block.
* WorldBuilding: The spin-off provides a lot of this for the main show, such as how the Mobile Unit Van functions, new characters, and the interior of Oprah's Big Office, among other things.
* WorldTour: Season 2 features many different locales around the world, which Orla (or whomever is the current host) almost always points out.
