History WesternAnimation / SixTeen

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: While the series mostly manages to avert [[CanadaEh Canadian stereotypes]], the way the cast pronounces "Sorry" consistently manages to give away their accents.

* CanadaEh: As this show was made in Canada, it of course has numerous references to its culture, from the red $50 bills to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

* BellyDancer: Taj Mahome Video employs a few. They all dance around to Bollywood music in keeping with the semi-mystical, fake India theme of the store. [[spoiler:The guys dress up as them to scare away customers in "Major Unfaithfulness".]]

* AccidentalPervert: In the ChristmasEpisode, Caitlin, who is wearing the Christmas costume for Jonesy, is knocked over by some children and accidentally gropes a woman in front of Nikki's mom. Since everyone thinks it's Jonesy, Nikki is absolutely furious, and Jonesy gets fired as a result.

* TheMall: The design of the Galleria Mall incorporates aspects of two of Canada's most famous malls, the [[https://www.cadillacfairview.com/content/dam/cnc/ui/gallery/toronto-eaton-centre/01%20-%20TEC.jpg/_jcr_content/renditions/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg Toronto Eaton Centre]] (tall glass ceilings and 3+ levels of stores on each side) and the West Edmonton Mall ([[http://guide2travel.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/west-ed-roller-coaster.jpg indoor rollercoaster]], [[http://az837918.vo.msecnd.net/publishedimages/Listings/1125/en-CA/images/1/ice-palace-west-edmonton-mall-L-18.jpg ice rink]]).

%%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Wyatt (sensitive), Jonesy (manly).

''6teen'' is a Canadian animated sitcom aimed at preteens and younger teenagers. The series follows a sextet of 16-year-old teenagers named Jude, Jen, Jonesy, Nikki, Wyatt, and Caitlin -- the first five having known each other since kindergarten and the last being a new addition to their circle. These six friends all hang out and work part-time jobs at a megaplex shopping mall somewhere in Canada known as the [[TheMall Galleria Shopping Mall]], where they always head to after school and on weekends. A SliceOfLife series, ''6teen'' focuses not on their lives in high school but the common everyday things they do in their free time as they struggle to balance work in their first ever jobs with the daily problems of being a teenager, from romance and friendship to getting their first tastes of sweet freedom and making the most of their youth while it lasts.

''6teen'' lasted from November 2004 to February 2010, with four seasons and a total of 93 episodes. The series was a co-production between Creator/{{Nelvana}} and Creator/FreshTV, being the latter company's very first series. It aired on Creator/{{Teletoon}} in Canada, becoming one of the channel's most popular and long-running series during its time on air. Broadcasting in the United States was originally handled by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in 2005, but they dropped the show quite quickly afterwards. The show was then picked up by Creator/CartoonNetwork in 2008 in response to the success of Fresh TV's second series ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' (part of a general trend of Canadian imports rising to prominence on the channel at the time). But despite its flagship status for Teletoon throughout most of the 2000s, the show had little success stateside, in part due to heavy editing from American censors (although it still managed to develop its own American fanbase).

Eight years after ''6teen'' ended, Jude was confirmed to appear in the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' spin-off ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama'', which also featured a few other references to ''6teen''. Not long later, following [[https://twitter.com/tommcgillis/status/997284800607203328 confirmation]] [[https://twitter.com/FahlenbockMegan/status/996870872693592065 by]] [[https://www.facebook.com/christian.potenza/posts/10160484643655338 several]] cast members, a reunion mini-episode was released to encourage former viewers in the United States to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2vdlxw3Ni8&feature=youtu.be Vote, Dude!]]".

* PandaingToTheAudience: Parodied with Pokey the Panda, a mascot suit that's presumably supposed to be cute and lovable in-universe but instead has a poorly designed face with "derp eyes" and a SlasherSmile.

** In “One Quiet Day”, Caitlin shouts “Get me a milk. Chocolate.” and gulps it down, mirroring the famous scene from ''Film/BackToTheFuture''.

** In “Smarten Up”, Wyatt slaps a caffeine-crazed Jude four times to sober him up.

* FashionHurts: In "Waiting to Ex-Sale", the Khaki Barn starts selling a new brand of flip-flops that really hurt to wear, to the point of making Nikki's feet start bleeding like crazy after she's forced to wear them as part of the promotion (and, in fact, this is how the gang finds out Jonesy's afraid of blood). Still, they're so popular that a girl offers to buy them from Nikki at the end of the episode, despite them being visibly covered in blood.

** Tim, the manager of Burger [=McFlipster's=], is a {{downplayed|Trope}} example. He establishes a strict, vaguely antagonistic rapport with Wayne right from the start of their interview (leading Wayne into trick questions and [[DeadpanSnarker dryly snipping back]] when he falls for them by answering honestly), but he ends up establishing himself to be a perfectly ReasonableAuthorityFigure. He is very strict and blunt on the standards he expects his employees to uphold, but is ultimately fair and gives props when they're earned.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The three girls in the group suffer not just the same level of physical abuse as the guys, but in some episodes, they actually suffer ''worse''.
