The most prominent, and likewise popular, of these series is the "Mysteries of Life" cartoons, which follow Tim and Moby as they answer fan-mail, explaining a different educational concept with each one. Tim is a teenage boy and the main character of the series. Moby is his orange robot.
Other recurring characters are Cassie and Rita, two of Tim's friends who appear in many "Mysteries of Life" videos, along with having a series of their own. There is also [[EverythingsBetterWithBob Bob]], a lab rat who appears in several shorts.
There is a Brainpop Jr. section, which is for younger children, and features many {{expies}} of the main site's characters. Oh, and Moby appears there too with a slightly different personality. Moby's alternate continuities can probably be chalked up to RuleOfFunny.
