-->''"On a tiny little island in the ocean called Pacific\\

-->--The first lines of the show's ExpositoryThemeTune
A Canadian animated television series created by Simon Racioppa and Richard Elliott for {{Nelvana}} and {{Teletoon}}. It can be seen on {{Qubo}} in the United States, DisneyXD in Mexico, Brazil & Spain, {{Nickelodeon}} in Sweden, {{ABC3}} in Australia, {{Nicktoons}} in UK & Ireland, and Teletoon in Canada.
Once upon a time, there once lived a MadScientist who spent his weary days on a secluded island in the middle of the Pacific. To occupy his time, he creates biological abominations that stood against all notions of sanity and common sense. But sadly, it was only a matter of time until the judicial system caught whiff of the whole situation and arrested him for crimes against nature and "good taste". With their master forever gone from their lives, the mutants, with only limited knowledge of the outside world and their customs, are left to construct a civilization of their own. Of course, this leads to [[HilarityEnsues ensuing hilarity.]]
See the [[Characters/{{Spliced}} character sheet]] for more.

!!''{{Spliced}}'' provides examples of:
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal
* AccidentalKiss: Entree and Wunny Sharbit
* AdobeFlash
* AesopAmnesia: Most Peri and Entrée cartoons involve one of them gaining some form of power or popularity the other does not have, the other one gets jealous and at the end they decide that it is more important to just be friends... again.
* AllJustADream: The episode ''Mo' Mayo Mo' Problems'', which then turned into a DreamWithinADream.
* AndCallHimGeorge: Princess Pony Ape Hands
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Parodied with the "Knowing is Growing" shorts, which deals with incredibly common problems and misconceptions, such as samurai pet care, time travel, and even snorting up antelopes. We all know you've done the last one sometime in your life.
* AnimalGenderBender: Entrée, who is a male yet has a pair of udders (which he also uses as feet... Wait, what?!).
** He also lays eggs, which confounds the issue further.
* AnimateBodyParts: Entree's stomach, brain and heart in "Stomach on Strike".
* ArtShift: A very discreet example. Any episodes that gives Lord Wingus Eternum a speaking role give him a more detailed look (i.e: more frayed hair, longer beak, and eyes in a half-lidded expression).
** The source picture for this page shows how Wingus looks when he's silent/just there. [[http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l400/dany098/LordWingusEternus.jpg And when he speaks...]]
** The animation briefly switches over to stop-motion in the beginning of "Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble".
* AssShove: Fuzzy accidentally crawls up Entrée's ass in "Brothers in Farms".
* BadassLabcoat: The scientist.
* BaldOfEvil: The MadScientist.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Mister Smarty Smarts and Octocat's relationship, which is thoroughly shown in the episodes "Octocataclysm", and "Of Masters and Minions".
* BigBallOfViolence
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The episodes "Livin' La Vida Lava" and "Yetis Don't Care About Nothin".
* BodyHorror: Often, but having your spine sucked viciously from your body by a baby robot comes to mind as a particularly cringe-worthy one.
* BreakingTheFourthWall:
** Peri in "Bowled Over": "But when I realized I was narrating, I knew it was time to take a break." He even tries to speak to Entrée in his InnerMonologue before correcting himself.
** Several of the IdiosyncraticWipes address the audience.
* BrickJoke: The Robot with a Sandwich Brain...in color.
** "The Couch Hates Me".
** The boxers Peri and Entree stole from the Doctor's lab in "Stomach On Stike". Entree told Peri the boxers didn't fit him, and was interrupted before he could tell him the whereabouts of it. About a minute later, when Entree's stomach climbs out of his body, it barfs out the muffins Entree was trying to digest, and a pair of boxers.
* BringMyBrownPants: In the episodes "Cleaning Up" and "The Mutants Who Cried Monster".
* BuffySpeak: "Look, a thingy thing thing!"
* CaffeineBulletTime: Peri experiences this as a result of consuming huge amounts of sugar in "Sugar Low".
* CallingYourAttacks: Two-legs Joe. THUNDER STOMP! TELEPORT STOMP!! QUANTUM STOMP!!! REGURGA-STOMP!!!! The intermission wipes even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] about this and noted on how absurd it could get.
** Smarty-Smarts when he had his Mechanical Stomping Legs. "RAINBOW FISHY STOMP!!!"
* CalvinBall: Bucket Stick Fruitball.
* CatchPhrase: Fuzzy's "Huzzah!" and "Expedition note!", Joe's exclamations of "Horns above!" and "Sweet mercy!", and Entrée's "May-O-NAAAAAAISE!"
* ChekhovsGun: Peri's bowling skills [[spoiler:are necessary to save the town from bowling pin-shaped aliens]] near the end of "Bowled Over".
* CloseEnoughTimeline: The end of ''Mr. Wrinkles in Time''.
* CombatTentacles: Tentacle Bob.
* CompanionCube: Boosty the jet pack.
* ContinuityNod / CallBack: Despite NegativeContinuity being in full effect (especially when the episode ends with the island being destroyed), some things remain the same for one episode to another. For example, Entrée's udder teets still have the same names from episode to episode (although which one is which may vary).
* ConvectionSchmonvection: The episode "Livin' La Vida Lava". The entire town ends up using lava as if it were a public utility.
** And in "Bowled Over", Peri pulls a bowling ball out of the top of a volcano.
** Heck, just their use of the volcano in general.
* CoveredInKisses: Two-legs Joe Thanks to Entrée's heart in "Stomach on Strike".
* CrypticBackgroundReference: The Blargy Parble, which we never get to see.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Entrée and Peri. The former can fly, teleport, mind-control people, and [[Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} summon sea creatures to do his bidding.]] The latter can shapeshift, detatch his limbs, and turn people into his slaves with butterfly wings.
* DancePartyEnding: ''Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble''.
* DidYouDie: A variation is used in the episode ''One Joe Wingus'':
--> '''Wingus''': I was offered a choice. Remove you [Two Legs Joe], or be banished.
--> '''Entrée''': So what'cha do? Did you pull'em off?
* [[TheDitz Ditz]]: Calcu-Pony. "Beige!"
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In the episode "Pink", Peri wakes up one day and finds out that he has turned the color pink (instead of his usual orange), and Entrée does not want to be his friend anymore because of this. The metaphor is heightened by the fact that Entrée thinks that being around Peri will turn him pink, and indeed has a nightmare in which this happens.
-->'''Entrée:''' Hey Peri? [[HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster Have you tried being Orange again?]]
** The episode "Juice" and "Mo' Mayo Mo' Problems".
* EfficientDisplacement: Several times. How Joe found out who stole his pretzel-maker. [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] when the hole Entree cuts open with a laser sword is shaped just like himself.
* {{Egopolis}}: The town on the island has this for the Doctor to an extent.
* EpicFail: Peri tries to paint Two-Legs' house and it catches on fire.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Mister Smarty Smarts and Octocat.
* [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows Everything's Better With Rainbows]]
* [[EverythingsBetterWithSamurai Everything's Better With Samurai]]: But you should leave them in the wild, because they make bad pets.
* [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies Everything's Deader With Zombies]]: The episode "Bite, Shuffle and Moan".
* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks and KillerRabbit: The Wunny Sharbit: part rabbit, part shark, part chainsaw, all killer.
* EvillyAffable: Apéritif, Entrée's [[EvilTwin evil]] brother.
* EyeScream: In both of the first two episodes, Entrée gets a forieign object in the eye: a wrench in "Bowled Over" and a book in "Stuck Together".
** Also the chair that [[Film/AClockworkOrange holds their eyes open]]. Interestingly though, while meant to be a torture device, Peri applies the holders to ''himself'', thinking they're for convenience.
---> '''Peri''': "This is great! I hate it when I blink during movies."
* FantasticAesop: The "Knowing is Growing" shorts, which have included aesops like 'don't put antelopes up your nose', 'gravy isn't a vegetable; it's a fruit', and 'don't adopt samurai as pets'.
* FurIsClothing: In "Bowled Over", Peri pulls back his fur to reveal a tattoo.
* GameFace: Fuzzy and Octocat, Patricia might be another.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Literally in the theme song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37MChWRo4kA listen at 0:09]] (It was made in Canada after all).
** Also in the episode ''Two Arms Joe'' after Peri gives Two Legs Joe his arms for the day:
-->'''Entrée:''' Have fun!, [[ADateWithRosiePalms but not too much fun]].
** In "Stupid Means Never Having To Say I'm Sorry", Peri, in a delusional state while being stranded on a marooned island, [[CompanionCube befriends a tire]] who both do quite a questionable act on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DxQMCyZjNc 6:47]]:
-->'''Peri:''' I keep telling you Retread! I lead, you FOLLOW!
** There's also the title of the episode "Living Hellp" (Yes, it was spelt with two l's and everything)
* GrossoutShow: It's not really as gross as you'd expect it to be, but there has been some instances where you get to see miles of snot, exposed brains, the sounds of stretched limbs slowly tearing apart, and the occasional inside-out bodies.
* HairRaisingHare: The Wunny Sharbit.
* IdiosyncraticWipes: The show's main [[RunningGag running gag]], which is often accompanied with random sound effects for laughs.
* InherentlyFunnyWords: Blargy Parble.
** Poosh.
* InMediasRes: "Octocataclysm." Lampshaded when Peri tries to explain the concept to Entrée.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: Unlike Samurai, they make great pets.
* InstantExpert: Peri and Entrée find a learning helmet that lets them instantly [[PowersAsPrograms download]] and master a large number of skills, with a [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity recurring side effect]].
* ItTastesLikeFeet: Entrée says this after attempting to eat Two-legs Joe.
* KillSat: Octocat controls one.
* {{Lilliputians}}: The mole-sters.
* MakeoverMontage: Wunny Sharbit gets one.
---> '''Wunny''': "Oh dude...please no."
* MediumBlending: Happens in several episodes, including "Pork Chop", "Bowled Over", "No Play for Princess", "Two Arms Joe", and "Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble".
* MesACrowd: "Clones Don't Care 'Bout Nothin' Either".
* MissionImpossibleCableDrop: Entrée performs one while stealing Joe's hat in the episode "Follow Your Dreamworms".
* MixAndMatchCritters: Pretty much all of the main cast.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: The Wunny Sharbit. It is part shark and chainsaw, after all.
* NetworkRedHeadedStepchild: On Qubo.
* NeverSayDie: Averted.
* NonSequiturThud: Entrée does it in "Amazon".
-->'''Entrée:''' Hey guy, have you seen our red fire truck?
* NoodleIncident: In "No Play for Princess", Joe reminds Peri and Entrée about what happened the last time they played Bucket Stick Fruitball. We don't get the specifics, but it apparently involved a flight of planes crashing into a bridge, a car going off a ledge, a giant lizard, and [[{{ArsonMurderAndJaywalking}} dancing.]]
* NotSoDifferent: In the episode "Same Difference" Two Legs Joe and Mister Smarty Smarts develop a friendship over their mutual dislike of Peri and Entrée (though Mister Smarty Smarts downright despises them, while Joe just finds them annoying).
* OddFriendship: To Mr. Smarty, Joe and Octocat.
* OffModel: Even though this is usually done intentionally to express the character's emotions in a very creative manner, the animation crew has tendencies to either animate them extensively with brilliant results, or make it look like a four-year-old could've done it.
* OnlySaneMan: Patricia, Octocat and, to a lesser extent, Mister Smarty Smarts and Peri.
* OrganAutonomy: Entrée once made a bet with his brain, heart and stomach that he could survive a week without them. They went off and had adventures of their own for the week.
* OverlyLongTongue: "Stuck Together" shows Peri to have one so long that he can use it to walk on.
** Entrée in "Yetis Don't Care About Nothin".
* PassThePopcorn: Peri and Entrée in "Of Masters And Minions" and the latter alone in "One Joe Wingus".
* PetTheDog: More like pet the Octocat for Mister Smarty Smarts.
* PinballGag: The episodes "No Play for Princess" and "Same Difference".
* {{Planimal}}: The Swineapple. It's part pig, part pineapple.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "My name is Peri and I! AM! A BOWLER!"
* RelaxOVision: Used in the episode "Pork Chop", where Entree goes apeshit on everybody after obtaining Kung-Fu powers.
-->'''Narrator:''' To avoid damage to young minds, we've been ordered to replace this fight scene with happy puppies!
* ShortRunInPeru: Premiered first in Latin America.
** Australia was the first English speaking country to air all known episodes.
* ShoutOut:
** How Entrée sees the Wunny Sharbit in the episode "Cleaning Up" wears a [[Film/FridayThe13th Goaltender mask.]]
** In the episode "Nightmare On Condemned Street" Entrée says [[HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse "I have the power!"]]
*** Peri says the same line in "Bowled Over". Right after Entrée says "[[StarWars Do or do not.]]"
** In "Come to the Dork Side", Mr. Smarty Smarts tries to get Peri to join his cause, by [[Film/AClockworkOrange strapping him to an electrical chair, forcing him to watch violent scenes, preventing him from blinking,]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny and washing his brain with shampoo]]. It doesn't work.
** In "Same Difference", one clip in Smarty-Smarts and Joe's montage shows the both of them watching {{Grossology}}, which was created by the same people. The {{Grossology}} theme can also be heard in the episode "Yetis Don't Care About Nothin"
** One of Entrée's udders is the cane wielding [[DonkeyKongCountry Cranky.]]
** The original DonkeyKong games in "Octocataclysm".
** PacMan in "Honorary Freak".
** To the game Breakout in ''Cube Whacked''.
** "A winner is me." to NES's game Pro Wrestling.
** ''Peri's Rainbow'' is to ''The Red Balloon''.
** Kilroy, the famous graffiti man, appears in ''Follow your Dreamworms''.
** Mr. Smarty does the [[KidsInTheHall head crushing thing]] in two episodes.
** Compu-Peri's outfit was very reminiscent of {{Tron}}.
** There's a [[JamesBond Bond-esque]] laser scene in ''Of Masters and Minions''...only it works.
** Same episode, Mr. Smarty holds a radio over his head like in ''[[SayAnything Say Anything...]]''.
** In ''Nightmare on Condemned Street'', Mr. Smarty can be seen wearing a [[TheFabulousBakerBoys Suzie Diamond]] style dress and slinking seductively towards Peri, Entree and Fuzzy in one of the dream visitations. The ensuing flee was quite understandable ([[spoiler: Suzie Diamond is a porn star]]).
** The "Knowing is Growing" segments are rather like those "The More You Know" ones.
** Patricia's mother computer acts an awful lot like [[ASpaceOdyssey HAL]] and/or [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]].
** ''The Count of Pinchy Crabbo'' is a whole plot reference to ''TheCountOfMonteCristo''.
** The board game Clue appears in a whirrel's intestines as a clue to the Blargy Parble.
** The title card to the episode ''One Joe Wingus'' is a clear shout out to the [[PixarShorts Pixar short]] ''For the Birds''.
** Calcu-Pony makes fun of the ridiculously stupid early generations of MyLittlePony.
** "You got computer in my horse! You got horse in my computer!" from "Two Arms Joe" is a reference to 70's Reese's commercials.
* SlowMotionDrop: Entrée does this with a mayonnaise jar in "Stuck Together".
* SlowNo: Two-Legs Joe does one when Peri uses his bowling ball to fix his house.
* SnapBack: In "Walkie-Talkie Spinie-Suckie", basically everyone except Peri, Entree, and Octocat permanently lose their spines in a volcano, "Clones Don't Care 'Bout Nothin' Either" had the entire island engulfed with deformed clones of Peri and Entree, "Sgt. Snuggums" had a overpowered and deranged Octocat bombing the island with Fuzzy's rocket, "Bite, Shuffle, and Moan" had everyone except Peri being infected by zombies, and "Mole-sters In the Mist" had the entire shrunken town being enslaved by overgrown mole-sters.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: The Episode "Pink" and, to a lesser extent, the episode "[=Compu-Peri=]"
* StockFootage: Used repeatedly, mostly in the form of black-and-white, public domain movie footage.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In one episode, when Peri and Entree are about to fall, Peri reminds Entree he has chicken wings, but Entree objects because chickens live underwater. Then, at the end of the episode:
--> '''Peri''': He'll be fine. He has chicken wings.
--> '''Mr. Smarty Smarts''': But don't chickens live underwater?
* SurroundedByIdiots: Mister Smarty Smarts.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Peri and Entrée.
* TitleDrop: In "Stuck Together", Entrée [[spoiler:fuses Peri to his body and says, "Oh, you know, I just spliced us together with one of the doctor's machines!"]]
** Two Legs Joe in "Honorary Freak"
* ToiletHumour: Very often.
* TorchesAndPitchforks: Standard riot supplies on Keepaway Island. They even keep a flaming torch in a 'break glass in case of emergency' style glass case.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Entrée loves mayonaise.
* UltimateAuthorityMayor: Two Legs Joe.
* TheUnReveal: Done with Peri's purpose in "Stuck Together".
* UnfortunateNames: The mole-sters, mole/hamster mutants that inhabit the island.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: In "Bowled Over", Peri makes a sandwich, fixes Patricia's car and does Pony Ape Hands' hair with a ''bowling ball''.
* WheelOFeet: This shows up quite a bit. In Entrée's case, Wheel o' Udder Teats.

* ArtShift: A very discreet example. Any episodes that gives Lord Wingus Eternum a speaking role give him a more detailed look (i.e: more frayed hair, longer beak, and eyes in a half-lidded expression).
** The source picture for this page shows how Wingus looks when he's silent/just there. [[http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l400/dany098/LordWingusEternus.jpg And when he speaks...]]
** The animation briefly switches over to stop-motion in the beginning of "Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble".

* BigBallOfViolence
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The episodes "Livin' La Vida Lava" and "Yetis Don't Care About Nothin".
* BodyHorror: Often, but having your spine sucked viciously from your body by a baby robot comes to mind as a particularly cringe-worthy one.
* BreakingTheFourthWall:
** Peri in "Bowled Over": "But when I realized I was narrating, I knew it was time to take a break." He even tries to speak to Entrée in his InnerMonologue before correcting himself.
** Several of the IdiosyncraticWipes address the audience.
* BrickJoke: The Robot with a Sandwich Brain...in color.
** "The Couch Hates Me".
** The boxers Peri and Entree stole from the Doctor's lab in "Stomach On Stike". Entree told Peri the boxers didn't fit him, and was interrupted before he could tell him the whereabouts of it. About a minute later, when Entree's stomach climbs out of his body, it barfs out the muffins Entree was trying to digest, and a pair of boxers.
* BringMyBrownPants: In the episodes "Cleaning Up" and "The Mutants Who Cried Monster".
* BuffySpeak: "Look, a thingy thing thing!"
* CaffeineBulletTime: Peri experiences this as a result of consuming huge amounts of sugar in "Sugar Low".
* CallingYourAttacks: Two-legs Joe. THUNDER STOMP! TELEPORT STOMP!! QUANTUM STOMP!!! REGURGA-STOMP!!!! The intermission wipes even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] about this and noted on how absurd it could get.
** Smarty-Smarts when he had his Mechanical Stomping Legs. "RAINBOW FISHY STOMP!!!"

* CombatTentacles: Tentacle Bob.
* CompanionCube: Boosty the jet pack.
* ContinuityNod / CallBack: Despite NegativeContinuity being in full effect (especially when the episode ends with the island being destroyed), some things remain the same for one episode to another. For example, Entrée's udder teets still have the same names from episode to episode (although which one is which may vary).
* ConvectionSchmonvection: The episode "Livin' La Vida Lava". The entire town ends up using lava as if it were a public utility.
** And in "Bowled Over", Peri pulls a bowling ball out of the top of a volcano.
** Heck, just their use of the volcano in general.
* CoveredInKisses: Two-legs Joe Thanks to Entrée's heart in "Stomach on Strike".
* CrypticBackgroundReference: The Blargy Parble, which we never get to see.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Entrée and Peri. The former can fly, teleport, mind-control people, and [[Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} summon sea creatures to do his bidding.]] The latter can shapeshift, detatch his limbs, and turn people into his slaves with butterfly wings.
* DancePartyEnding: ''Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble''.
* DidYouDie: A variation is used in the episode ''One Joe Wingus'':

--> '''Entrée''': So what'cha do? Did you pull'em off?
* [[TheDitz Ditz]]: Calcu-Pony. "Beige!"
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In the episode "Pink", Peri wakes up one day and finds out that he has turned the color pink (instead of his usual orange), and Entrée does not want to be his friend anymore because of this. The metaphor is heightened by the fact that Entrée thinks that being around Peri will turn him pink, and indeed has a nightmare in which this happens.
-->'''Entrée:''' Hey Peri? [[HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster Have you tried being Orange again?]]
** The episode "Juice" and "Mo' Mayo Mo' Problems".
* EfficientDisplacement: Several times. How Joe found out who stole his pretzel-maker. [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] when the hole Entree cuts open with a laser sword is shaped just like himself.
* {{Egopolis}}: The town on the island has this for the Doctor to an extent.
* EpicFail: Peri tries to paint Two-Legs' house and it catches on fire.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Mister Smarty Smarts and Octocat.
* [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows Everything's Better With Rainbows]]

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks and KillerRabbit: The Wunny Sharbit: part rabbit, part shark, part chainsaw, all killer.
* EvillyAffable: Apéritif, Entrée's [[EvilTwin evil]] brother.
* EyeScream: In both of the first two episodes, Entrée gets a forieign object in the eye: a wrench in "Bowled Over" and a book in "Stuck Together".
** Also the chair that [[Film/AClockworkOrange holds their eyes open]]. Interestingly though, while meant to be a torture device, Peri applies the holders to ''himself'', thinking they're for convenience.
---> '''Peri''': "This is great! I hate it when I blink during movies."
* FantasticAesop: The "Knowing is Growing" shorts, which have included aesops like 'don't put antelopes up your nose', 'gravy isn't a vegetable; it's a fruit', and 'don't adopt samurai as pets'.
* FurIsClothing: In "Bowled Over", Peri pulls back his fur to reveal a tattoo.
* GameFace: Fuzzy and Octocat, Patricia might be another.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Literally in the theme song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37MChWRo4kA listen at 0:09]] (It was made in Canada after all).
** Also in the episode ''Two Arms Joe'' after Peri gives Two Legs Joe his arms for the day:
-->'''Entrée:''' Have fun!, [[ADateWithRosiePalms but not too much fun]].
** In "Stupid Means Never Having To Say I'm Sorry", Peri, in a delusional state while being stranded on a marooned island, [[CompanionCube befriends a tire]] who both do quite a questionable act on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DxQMCyZjNc 6:47]]:
-->'''Peri:''' I keep telling you Retread! I lead, you FOLLOW!
** There's also the title of the episode "Living Hellp" (Yes, it was spelt with two l's and everything)
* GrossoutShow: It's not really as gross as you'd expect it to be, but there has been some instances where you get to see miles of snot, exposed brains, the sounds of stretched limbs slowly tearing apart, and the occasional inside-out bodies.
* HairRaisingHare: The Wunny Sharbit.
* IdiosyncraticWipes: The show's main [[RunningGag running gag]], which is often accompanied with random sound effects for laughs.
* InherentlyFunnyWords: Blargy Parble.
** Poosh.
* InMediasRes: "Octocataclysm." Lampshaded when Peri tries to explain the concept to Entrée.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: Unlike Samurai, they make great pets.
* InstantExpert: Peri and Entrée find a learning helmet that lets them instantly [[PowersAsPrograms download]] and master a large number of skills, with a [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity recurring side effect]].

* MissionImpossibleCableDrop: Entrée performs one while stealing Joe's hat in the episode "Follow Your Dreamworms".

* NeverSayDie: Averted.
* NonSequiturThud: Entrée does it in "Amazon".
-->'''Entrée:''' Hey guy, have you seen our red fire truck?
* NoodleIncident: In "No Play for Princess", Joe reminds Peri and Entrée about what happened the last time they played Bucket Stick Fruitball. We don't get the specifics, but it apparently involved a flight of planes crashing into a bridge, a car going off a ledge, a giant lizard, and [[{{ArsonMurderAndJaywalking}} dancing.]]
* NotSoDifferent: In the episode "Same Difference" Two Legs Joe and Mister Smarty Smarts develop a friendship over their mutual dislike of Peri and Entrée (though Mister Smarty Smarts downright despises them, while Joe just finds them annoying).
* OddFriendship: To Mr. Smarty, Joe and Octocat.
* OffModel: Even though this is usually done intentionally to express the character's emotions in a very creative manner, the animation crew has tendencies to either animate them extensively with brilliant results, or make it look like a four-year-old could've done it.
* OnlySaneMan: Patricia, Octocat and, to a lesser extent, Mister Smarty Smarts and Peri.
* OrganAutonomy: Entrée once made a bet with his brain, heart and stomach that he could survive a week without them. They went off and had adventures of their own for the week.

** Entrée in "Yetis Don't Care About Nothin".
* PassThePopcorn: Peri and Entrée in "Of Masters And Minions" and the latter alone in "One Joe Wingus".
* PetTheDog: More like pet the Octocat for Mister Smarty Smarts.
* PinballGag: The episodes "No Play for Princess" and "Same Difference".
* {{Planimal}}: The Swineapple. It's part pig, part pineapple.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "My name is Peri and I! AM! A BOWLER!"
* RelaxOVision: Used in the episode "Pork Chop", where Entree goes apeshit on everybody after obtaining Kung-Fu powers.
-->'''Narrator:''' To avoid damage to young minds, we've been ordered to replace this fight scene with happy puppies!
* ShortRunInPeru: Premiered first in Latin America.
** Australia was the first English speaking country to air all known episodes.
* ShoutOut:
** How Entrée sees the Wunny Sharbit in the episode "Cleaning Up" wears a [[Film/FridayThe13th Goaltender mask.]]
** In the episode "Nightmare On Condemned Street" Entrée says [[HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse "I have the power!"]]
*** Peri says the same line in "Bowled Over". Right after Entrée says "[[StarWars Do or do not.]]"
** In "Come to the Dork Side", Mr. Smarty Smarts tries to get Peri to join his cause, by [[Film/AClockworkOrange strapping him to an electrical chair, forcing him to watch violent scenes, preventing him from blinking,]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny and washing his brain with shampoo]]. It doesn't work.
** In "Same Difference", one clip in Smarty-Smarts and Joe's montage shows the both of them watching {{Grossology}}, which was created by the same people. The {{Grossology}} theme can also be heard in the episode "Yetis Don't Care About Nothin"
** One of Entrée's udders is the cane wielding [[DonkeyKongCountry Cranky.]]

** Kilroy, the famous graffiti man, appears in ''Follow your Dreamworms''.
** Mr. Smarty does the [[KidsInTheHall head crushing thing]] in two episodes.
** Compu-Peri's outfit was very reminiscent of {{Tron}}.
** There's a [[JamesBond Bond-esque]] laser scene in ''Of Masters and Minions''...only it works.
** Same episode, Mr. Smarty holds a radio over his head like in ''[[SayAnything Say Anything...]]''.
** In ''Nightmare on Condemned Street'', Mr. Smarty can be seen wearing a [[TheFabulousBakerBoys Suzie Diamond]] style dress and slinking seductively towards Peri, Entree and Fuzzy in one of the dream visitations. The ensuing flee was quite understandable ([[spoiler: Suzie Diamond is a porn star]]).
** The "Knowing is Growing" segments are rather like those "The More You Know" ones.
** Patricia's mother computer acts an awful lot like [[ASpaceOdyssey HAL]] and/or [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]].
** ''The Count of Pinchy Crabbo'' is a whole plot reference to ''TheCountOfMonteCristo''.
** The board game Clue appears in a whirrel's intestines as a clue to the Blargy Parble.
** The title card to the episode ''One Joe Wingus'' is a clear shout out to the [[PixarShorts Pixar short]] ''For the Birds''.
** Calcu-Pony makes fun of the ridiculously stupid early generations of MyLittlePony.
** "You got computer in my horse! You got horse in my computer!" from "Two Arms Joe" is a reference to 70's Reese's commercials.
* SlowMotionDrop: Entrée does this with a mayonnaise jar in "Stuck Together".
* SlowNo: Two-Legs Joe does one when Peri uses his bowling ball to fix his house.
* SnapBack: In "Walkie-Talkie Spinie-Suckie", basically everyone except Peri, Entree, and Octocat permanently lose their spines in a volcano, "Clones Don't Care 'Bout Nothin' Either" had the entire island engulfed with deformed clones of Peri and Entree, "Sgt. Snuggums" had a overpowered and deranged Octocat bombing the island with Fuzzy's rocket, "Bite, Shuffle, and Moan" had everyone except Peri being infected by zombies, and "Mole-sters In the Mist" had the entire shrunken town being enslaved by overgrown mole-sters.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: The Episode "Pink" and, to a lesser extent, the episode "[=Compu-Peri=]"
* StockFootage: Used repeatedly, mostly in the form of black-and-white, public domain movie footage.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In one episode, when Peri and Entree are about to fall, Peri reminds Entree he has chicken wings, but Entree objects because chickens live underwater. Then, at the end of the episode:
--> '''Peri''': He'll be fine. He has chicken wings.
--> '''Mr. Smarty Smarts''': But don't chickens live underwater?
* SurroundedByIdiots: Mister Smarty Smarts.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Peri and Entrée.
* TitleDrop: In "Stuck Together", Entrée [[spoiler:fuses Peri to his body and says, "Oh, you know, I just spliced us together with one of the doctor's machines!"]]
** Two Legs Joe in "Honorary Freak"
* ToiletHumour: Very often.
* TorchesAndPitchforks: Standard riot supplies on Keepaway Island. They even keep a flaming torch in a 'break glass in case of emergency' style glass case.
