* CreditsPushback: An in-universe example in "Goat Police" where Scaredy and Dave were watching the titular show on TV, where the credits were pushed back for a commercial for the show being filmed in Balsa City. It was repeated again in the Safety Corner segment following the episode about the difference between make-believe and grand larceny, this time for a promo for "Late Night with Dan Duck". Although Scaredy pushes the credits and promo out to continue with the segment, the segment [[IrisOut Irises Out]] despite not being done yet.

-->'''Warning:''' ''Scaredy Squirrel is based on character by Mélanie Watt!''

The show is set in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals. The eponymous protagonist, Scaredy Squirrel, is a good-natured but highly anxious and cleanly squirrel who lives in Balsa City and works as a stacker in the local supermarket, Stash N' Hoard under his boss, an ill-tempered canary named Nestor (whose controlling and disciplinarian mother is the store's owner). When not on the job, Scaredy has adventures around town with his best friend, a laidback but dimwitted slob of a skunk named Dave, while also frequently dealing with a trout named Sally who has a crush on him and an egotistical ferret named Paddy.

''Scaredy Squirrel'' is a Canadian animated series by Creator/{{Nelvana}}. It is very, ''very'', '''''very''''' loosely based on [[Literature/ScaredySquirrel the children's picture book series of the same name]] by French-Canadian author Creator/MelanieWatt, who also helped a bit with work on the series.

* TheEndingChangesEverything: The ending of "Stack to School" is one big {{Homage}} to ''Film/TheUsualSuspects''. After failing multiple times to show that he can be spontaneous, Scaredy passes his spontaneity class by racing to and performing a daring rescue at the Stash n' Hoard. It's only after Scaredy receives his diploma and leaves that his teacher realizes that Scaredy had orchestrated the entire thing (and therefore wasn't spontaneous at all).

* TheBGrade: In "Dreamweaver" when Scaredy gets a rating of "BAD" on his performance review.

* CoolToy: Parodied in "Snerd Envy", where the toy everyone in town but Scaredy has is completely plain and useless. And then again when Scaredy convinces the rest of the characters that he has an invisible one. They follow him at first until he fesses up... but then wins them back when he has the cool new "Mr. Handy Hand" (just googly eyes placed on his hand). This episode also leads to a subtle Aesop about using your imagination.

* EvilAllAlong: Nestor's Mother in "Halloweekend".

* LampshadeHanging: Scaredy likes to question some of the insanity that surrounds his life.

* ParodyEpisode: "Halloweekend".
