Oprah Makes Cartoons, or OMC, is an AffectionateParody StylisticSuck web-series about ''Franchise/Ben10'', created by Website/YouTube user [=DrOprah62=] (generally known as Oprah). It follows Ben shortly after the events of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', when he is 17. Originally, it tried to stick mostly to characters, events, and the tone established in the other shows, just done crappily. It quickly devolved into a nonsensical mess of out-there characters, both real and fictional. In the story, Ben and Rook have broken up, and Ben instead teams up with Barack Obama and Ferrick Wyatt, the latter of whom makes a new Omnitrix that turns Ben's shirt purple. Other main characters include Baumann, the grumpy storekeeper from OV, Gaben, the creator of Valve Software and the universe, Vilgax, Ben's former archvillain and new friend, Giorgio, an ancient astronaut theorist, and JK Simmons, an Oscar-winning swaggy actor. Bad villains, terrible writing and stupid aliens abound. The show is in its fifth season, and after a rocky start is now on a steady bi-weekly release schedule.

A sequel, Oprah Makes Cartoons Forever After, was announced in 2015 aired in June of the same year. It continues the plot of OMC a month after the finale, and will be much more arc-based than the original.

A spinoff comic series titled The Adventures of Obama was launched on July 5, 2013. It focuses mainly on Obama, though the other main characters have appeared.

Oprah is friends with the creators of {{Stick 10}}, and the series frequently reference each other (and occasionally cross over)

* AnArmAndALeg: Eatle shoots off Baumann's arm in "Baumann Takes Ogre". The next time he appears, he has a robotic arm.

** In Ferrick 10, Ben visits one where a greedy and selfish Ferrick has the Omnitrix.

** 420420 grows to an enormous size by smoking an entire factory's worth of marijuana in season 3's "420420" and The Weed Factory".

* CreatorBacklash: Oprah hates the first 25 episodes so much that he made an episode dedicated specifically to retconning them. The reason for this is that during a hiatus, Oprah's writing style and goals for the series changed significantly, and the older stuff no longer reflects what he wants to do with the series
* CreatorsFavorite: Evil Shocksquatch was introduced as a filler villain but Oprah loved him so much that he decided to use him again. Fast-forward a year or so and now he's considered a main character (he even appears in the theme song!).

* AnArmAndALeg: Eatle shoots off Buamann's arm in "Buamann Takes Ogre". The next time Buamann appears, he has a robotic arm.

* PaedoHunt: Buamann has a 14 year old girlfriend, information Ben uses to get him arrested in Shadow Dancing.
* {{Remember the New Guy}}: Ben first met Gaben right before the events of the UA episode Where the Magic Happens, according to Ferrick 10
** Young Ben has been shown to have access to several sequel aliens, including Pesky Dust, Swampfire, and most notably Eatle, who has never been locked in the Omnitrix but didn't appear until late UA.
** Ben first met Evil Shocksquatch during the events of Alien Force
** Farquaad has been Ben's arch enemy since practically the beginning, but he first appeared in this series.

* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Khyber wears a large Sonic the Hedgehog skull on his shoulder
* {{Stock Scream}}: The Wilhelm Scream can be heard in [='EAzmuth'=]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Good Maltruant to Paradox, who WordOfGod has stated won't be appearing very frequently
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Obama gives Ben one in Iggy Stardust.
* {{The Team Normal}}: Ben has the Omnitrix, Gaben is a god, Baumann has a superhero alter ego, and Ferrick has demonstrated a mysterious energy blast...and then there was Obama
** As of season 4, even Kai and Marriland have powers. But still nothing for Obama.
* TookALevelInDumbass: Basically every pre-existing character is subjected to this, except for Gaben and Baumann. Special mention goes to Obama.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In 'Bullfrag vs. Bullfrank', Ben commits terrorist acts in order to get back at an old rival for...impressing some girls Ben was interested in a year ago. This culminates in Ben destroying the Earth, which is totally ignored in the next episode.
* TheAntiChrist: Farquaad
* TheXenophile: Giorgio
* Troll: Kev is so offended that Ben 10 Fanfiction accused him of being one that he and Ben went to their HQ and killed their leader
* UnsoundEffect: Sometimes, when Oprah can't find a suitable sound effect, a Text-to-speech saying the intended effect will be used instead.
** The Vilgax/Eon Power Hour used a picture of a Skype message saying "Ding dong" for Eon's doorbell
* {{Visible Invisibility}}: [=ChamAlien=], starting with episode 27
* WhatTheHellHero: Baumann calls Ben out for killing all of the Incurseans in order to stop their invasion in 'Astrodactyl's Big Adventure'
* {{When Trees Attack}}: Ben and the gang are attacked by a forest of tree-like aliens in 'Rath on Anur Phaetos'. Later in the episode, Ben gains the ability to transform into one of said trees.

* {{Aborted Arc}}: When the series went on its season 2 hiatus, it was in the middle of an arc involving Dr. Phil. After it returned, the arc was concluded through a line in the season 2 finale that had nothing to do with the plot.

* {{Arm Cannon}}: A recurring villain named, appropriately enough, Arm Cannon has one
* ArtEvolution: As the show has gone on, designs have gotten bigger and more detailed, and the lineart has gotten much cleaner
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: 420420 grows to an enormous size by smoking an entire factory's worth of marijuana in season 3's '420420 and the Weed Factory'
** The Fairy Godmother makes Gilbert Gottfried grow large and attack Baumannville in 'Something Gilbert This Way Comes'
* AuthorCatchphrase

* {{Batman Can Breathe in Space}}: In 'The New Secret of Chromastone', Obama was flown unprotected to a spaceship in orbit around the Earth.

* BoringButPractical: Flying Ferret is strictly a utility alien, used only as a flying bus to transport the team. He has no combat use whatsoever

* {{Creator Backlash}}: Oprah hates the first 25 episodes so much that he made an episode dedicated specifically to retconning them.

* CosmicRetcon: The second anniversary special featured Ben going back in time to undo the first 25 episodes. This was implied to have drastic consequences, beginning with Lord Transyl capturing the now-alive Dr. Phil
* {{Couch Gag}}: Starting with episode 28, the intro leaves room for a drawing of a character relevant to the episode that changes each episode
* CrossdressingVoices: Wildmutt has a female voice
** Solo, a male voice actor, is the go-to choice for female characters when a text to speech just won't do
* {{Crossover}}: With My Little Pony during the drek era, unfortunately
** Casual crossovers happen all the time in both eras, including with The Aquabats! Super Show!, Shrek, Garfield, and sister series Stick 10

* KamehameHadoken: Atomix's main attack. He knows several variants, each with their own chant
