History WesternAnimation / TheProblemSolverz

[[OvershadowedByControversy The show has been the subject of mass criticism]]... FlameWar level criticism. Its arrival to Cartoon Network unfortunately coincided with the cancellation of ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan,'' and the series was seen as a [[ToughActToFollow vastly inferior replacement]], turning it into TheScapegoat. It didn't help that many people [[{{Misblamed}} accused the show]] of getting ''Sym-Bionic Titan'' canceled. However, the show has a collective fanbase despite the rough patches. The show went on hiatus after its first season, and eventually suffered a quiet cancelation on March 30, 2013. However, though CN has only aired its first season on the network, the second season became exclusive to Creator/{{Netflix}} in early 2013. (Before the whole show was taken off of Netflix in 2015)

* Running Gag: There being a new mayor and the Problem Solvers getting rewarded with Fifteen dollar checks.

* DerangedAnimation: Oh, you have no idea.
** The Mysterious Mr. Enter noted when he covered the first episode that he had to watch it in one-minute segments because it was ''physically hurting him'' to watch it. This is a common reaction.

''The Problem Solverz'' is an AnimatedShow that aired from [[ShortRunner April 4, 2011 to March 30, 2013]] on Creator/CartoonNetwork. Created by artist Ben Jones, it was originally pitched to Creator/AdultSwim as ''NeonKnome'', but it was rejected and instead refitted for a younger audience. The series follows the incredibly [[SurrealHumor surreal]] adventures of three friends whose job it is to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin solve problems]]: Horace, an EveryMan with a bad buzz cut; Roba, a {{Nerd}} who dresses as a robot; and Alfe, an infantile part-dog, part-anteater, part-human who [[BigEater really likes pizza]]. Along the way, they are aided by Tux Dog, a wealthy canine who advises them on cases.

* MythologyGag: Kevin the magic cup from ''NeonKnome'' appears in Horace's room in "Time Twister".
** Roba's "one-of-a-kind narrator doll" in "Puffy Puppiez" is a reference to the narrator at the end of ''NeonKnome''.

** The video game ArtShift during the BMX race in "Puffy Puppiez" is a reference to ''ExciteBike''.

** Part of ''Tomb of Nefertiti'' looks remarkably similar to ''[[{{BITTRIP}} BIT.TRIP RUNNER]]''.

* XMeetsY: ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' meets ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff''.

* BigBudgetBeefUp: The show's rare second season does this a bit. For example, Alfe's fur is visible in said season's intro.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: "Hide and Seek Ninjaz".

The show is noted for its incredibly bright, flashy animation style and very crude, poorly drawn character designs, giving it the look of an '80s video game in the vein of ''CodeMonkeys'', while also bearing similarities tonally to Creator/AdultSwim shows like ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''.

* XMeetsY: ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' meets ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff''.

** There's a [[LOLCats ceiling cat]] reference at the end of "Badcat", when Bad Cat blasts a hole in the ceiling, goes through it, and looks back down through the hole.

* PreciousPuppies: Tux Puppy, who randomly appears at the end of "Fauxboro" to reward the solverz after their successful training. Roba is particularly excited about looking after the little guy.
** This is the main point of "Puffy Puppiez", in which the Problem Solverz take in a bunch of puppies when Bad Cat usurps their shelter. Roba adores the puppies so much that he is reluctant to give them up despite his allergies, and he even gets a little song about them.
