** The [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} "Ginodzilla"]] episode features a missile shot by Colby and aimed at the titular chicken (the fact the former is in the real world and the latter is inside the net [[MST3KMantra doesn't count]]).

Um... where to begin with this one?

'''''Gino il pollo''''' ("'''''Gino the Chicken'''''") is an Italian series, and it's pretty much [[WidgetSeries as weird as it can get]]. Don't believe me? Keep reading.

Our story begins where a villain [[GoldfishPoopGang (sort of)]] named Chief Colby (leader of [[FunWithAcronyms Chicken Investigation Agency]]), aided by his assistant Ray Mundo, kidnaps a chicken, and after virtualising it traps the poor animal in the interwebz, in order to cook it.

[[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs You're following me so far?]] Good.

Gino is aided by his fiancée Gina and other guys who, alongside a kid capable of self-virtualising, form a [[LaResistance resistance]] of sorts.

Please note, however, that the article is about a [[InNameOnly dumbed-down]] version of a previously existing web series of the same name which contained much smart satire in it. Anyway...

!!''Gino il pollo'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* ActionGirl: Dolly, a kung-fu master version of the famous cloned sheep. Also the karateka cow Lucy Kiai and Gina.
* BrickJoke: The vampire episode features a very big one. The episode opens with a disclaimer:
-->'''Gino:''' This episode will contain extremely graphic violence and other scary stuff. Please stop watching this!
::Then the episode continues normally, until, towards the end, Gino gets a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]] to fight the vampires, but first he pauses for a bit...
-->'''Gino:''' ...are you still watching this? Are you crazy? The violent part is starting by now! Cover your eyes and ears, change channel, please don't look at this!
:: ...[[SubvertedTrope and then most]] [[TakeOurWordForIt of the battle is censored]] with [[CensorBox censor bars]] and the Cheercritters covering the screen screaming "TOO SCARY! DON'T WATCH!"
* CatchPhrase: Chief Colby is really fond to say (and sing) "I'M CRAZY FOR CHICKEN!" With a music video of him in a chef hat and apron, while eating chicken legs. [[FlatWhat Yes, really]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Ray Mundo
* CoolShades: Lampshaded in one of the end-of-the-episode "aesops":
-->'''Gino:''' AnAesop? Sunglasses make me look cooler.
* DontTryThisAtHome: Spoofed, crossing with SpaceWhaleAesop, in the Poltergeist episode:
-->'''Cyberboy:''' Remember kids, [[ItMakesSenseInContext never toss rotten fruit at your friends, except when they're possessed by evil computer-generated monsters, like now!]]
* DumbBlonde: The Cheercritters are a whole species made only of these.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** A brief sequence features Gino in a luchador attire in front of a "Parental Advisory -- Explicit Content" banner. [[ParentalBonus Anyone who knows what that banner means]] will get the nasty reference.
** In the "Splatter Rock" episode a variant of this shot is featured, with Gino warning the audience in front of the banner (but without the luchador attire) about the following fight between him and [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Rozzie Rock]].
--->'''Gino:''' My dear [[YouBastard yet horrible violence maniacs]], this scene will be extremely violent, so cover your eyes and ears if you don't like it. ThePowerOfRock can do horrible things if used wrongly!
** In the same episode, as a nod to Music/OzzyOsbourne, his fictional counterpart bites a bat's head off. Onscreen. ''Graphically.'' '''''[[RefugeInAudacity That is, with blood dripping from his mouth.]]'''''
** Subverted in the Parallel universe episode. While fighting a monster, Gino and his parallel universe self prepare to execute a combined move, putting on the banner and [[BreakingTheFourthWall asking kids to look at something else or going to sleep, since their attack will be extremely gruesome]]. And then, their gruesome move is... ''a giant burp on the monster's face''.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Three of them: the C.I.A. agents, Ma' and the Webraptors, and Pixel Bill and the Pixelleros.
* GRatedDrug: Ma' cooperates with Colby only because he gives her strawberries.
* HumongousMecha: Kalinka
* HypocriticalHumor: The [[WholePlotReference episode]] [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} "Ginodzilla"]] begins with Gino getting ready for some fishing. Then he ends up in his own net and, after getting rid of it, says "there's no net able to catch me yet". Um... what was ''the show's premise'' again?
* InNameOnly: The TV series comes off as this if compared to its originary web format.
* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: A MagicalComputer manages to transfer ''anything'' from the real world to the virtual one, and ''the other way around'' as well. [[WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko Um, okay.]] Then the leader of CIA traps a chicken in the net, for... um... what was the reason again? [[FlatWhat What.]]
* LighterAndSofter: From high-school level web satire to kindergarten nonsense. [[SarcasmMode Nice move!]]
* MusicalEpisode: Almost every episode features a song.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Pixel Bill is basically [[RefugeInAudacity Bill Gates as Satan]].
* SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld: [[InvokedTrope quoted verbatim,]] [[BeamMeUpScotty provided you change "this person" to "the chicken".]]
* SdrawkcabAlias: Grandpa Ringo's virtual identity is Ognar the Blonde.
* ShockAndAwe: Gina haves the "Cock-a-Shock" power.
* ShoutOut:
** The [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} "Ginodzilla"]] episode features a missile shot by Colby and aimed at the titular chicken (the fact the former is in the real world and the latter is inside the net [[MST3KMantra doesn't count]]). Said missile, other than causing Gino to transform into [[RentAZilla the Godzilla knockoff]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the title alludes to]] [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar (in a manner VERY reminiscent of nuclear radiation)]], [[CaptainErsatz heavily resembles]] [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros a Bullet Bill]].
** When Andrea gets his first Cyberboy costume, he says it sucks. And then [[BadassGrandpa Grandpa Ringo]] says: "The guy who sewed this preferred instead to wear [[Franchise/SpiderMan a spider costume]]".
** Tiger Ping is clearly a [[FurryFandom furry]] version of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]], down to the hairdo and the giant sword.
* SpoofAesop: Every episode ends with Gino giving an Aesop... which actually teaches nothing.
** In the "Kalinka" episode:
--->'''Gino:''' Alright! Today's aesop is: Russian robots are great and everything will be fine if you own one of them.
** Or, in the "Splatter Rock" episode:
--->'''Gino:''' Well, today's aesop is that [[SmallNameBigEgo I have an awesome voice]].
* TakeThat: Rhe "Splatter Rock" episode referenced above hints that series creator Andrea Zingoni may not be too fond of heavy metal, given the way they depict it -- such as Ma' (leader of a digital GoldfishPoopGang) suggesting her minions to "play as bad as possible".
* SmallNameBigEgo: Gino haves heavy features of being one.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: The whole "Kalinka" episode is about Chief Colby being unable to say the title robot's name without breaking into singing the popular Russian song he's named after. And hearing it makes Kalinka [[ThatRussianSquatDance dance]].
* TrademarkFavouriteFood:
** Chief Colby loves chicken, as he reminds us everytime in his VillainSong.
** Also Monk the Monkey: "BANANA!"
* WidgetSeries: Chew on this, ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy''.
