* WorldOdDumbass: Most of Pinata Island's inhabitants tend to be extremely gullible and stupid, with the few intelligent ones like Les and Paulie being basically their only line of defense against anyone who would try to hurt or take advantage of them.

This series focuses on an EnsembleCast of piñata friends and their everyday lives on Piñata Island. To name a few; [[{{Narcissist}} Hudson Horstachio,]] [[BigEater Fergy Fudgehog,]] [[BearyFriendly Franklin Fizzlybear,]] [[CunningLikeAFox Paulie Pretztail,]] [[TheUnintelligible Les Galagoogoo,]] [[MultipleHeadCase Tina and Teddington Twingersnap,]] and [[ForgetfulJones Ella Elephanilla.]]

--> '''Hudson''': Ella, you're a lifesaver! ...wait. Who's driving the van?
--> '''[[ForgetfulJones Ella]]''': Driving ''what'' van?
--> ''The van falls down a cliff and onto the beach''

* KissingCousins: Unless you've seen the episode "Hibernation Nation" and did the math, you won't be squicked out. [[spoiler: Franklin Fizzlybear & Florence Fizzlybear (never mind their last names as they actually refer to their species rather than their ancestry) both meet and fall in love in "Franklin Can't Dance". Their romance isn't touched upon any further in any future episode, except briefly in "Hudson's Better Half". Then when you watch "Hibernation Nation", we are introduced to Franklin's uncle named Phineas Fizzlybear, who performs on stage at a family reunion with his "family", which includes Florence who plays the piano. This strongly implies that she is Phineas' daughter, which would make her... brace yourself... [[SurpriseIncest Franklin's first cousin!]] And even if this wasn't the case, it's bad enough that she shows up at Franklin's family reunion.]] It's left undisclosed whether it was done by accident or on purpose, but then again, the video games are infamous for their ''inbreeding.''

* BittersweetEnding: In “Les Saves the Day... Again!”, the beach party is destroyed by the volcano, and the pinatas Les saves still don’t believe his warnings (but rather, [[Main/CassandraTruth “his fireworks”]]), but everyone is safe, and they reconcile with the Galagoogoo who previously damaged their preparations to warn them.

* AlternateUniverse: Freak Cannonada accidents have launched Franklin into at least two: one where he [[FaceHeelTurn went evil]] and took over the island and [[BigBad Professor Pester]] is now "Coronel Cuddles" among other things, and one where piñatas are [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever simply giants]].

* AnthropomorphicShift: In the games, the piñatas mostly acted like animals, but here they can talk and most of the quadrupeds can stand on two legs.

* BearsAreBadNews: Averted for the most part with Franklin and every other Fizzlybear, who are some of the friendliest Piñatas on the island. That is unless you disturb them while they're hibernating, at which point they fly into a rage destructive enough to level entire towns.

** One episode features this happening to several Piñatas courtesy of the malfunctioning Assemblata: Hudson's head is placed onto Fergy's body, a Cluckle has multiple Arocknid legs, a Parmadillo has a Chocstrich's neck and head replacing one of its arms and its wing replacing the other and an unfortunate Shellybean ends up rearranged into an indecipherable mess of parts.

* CowboyEpisode: "High Plains Drafter". It takes place in the desert area of Piñata Island and it's about a mysterious masked Mallowolf named El Sketcho tormenting everyone by... [[FauxHorrific drawing insulting caricatures of them]]. He then challenges the main cast into a sketching duel at [[ShowDownAtHighNoon high noon]].

* DistressedDude: Because Hudson is the most popular piñata on the island, he is also the most frequent victim of Professor Pester's evil plots.

* DrunkWithPower: Fergy as Piñata Wrangler in "To Catch a Piñata," so much so he tried to fire his best friend off to a party just to cement his position.

** Played straight on Pester in "Pester the Piñata," which causes him to think he's a baby piñata. At the end he actually rapid-fires between this personality and his normal self due to a series of slaps. [[spoiler:And at the end he ends up thinking he's a Ruffian.]]

* EnemyMine: It's a rare occasion when Pester and/or the Ruffians team up with the piñatas for something, but it happens.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Professor Pester's plans to obtain the piñatas' candy. Also all Langston's attempts to get Fergy and Paulie to go to a party.

* FingerlessHands: The piñatas have no more than stubs on the tips of their limbs, yet are constantly shown picking up objects and manipulating the world around them! When this is briefly changed in "The Wrong Stuff", it even gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Franklin:

** Just like in the games, the Piñatas have no qualms eating candy regardless of whether or not it's currently being bled (or in one case, sneezed) out of someone else.

* LawfulStupid: Hudson becomes this in "Good Clop, Bad Clop" after he temporarily becomes a police officer. He starts arresting everyone for the pettiest offenses and when he finds out that arresting too many Piñatas in one day is also illegal, he arrests himself.

* MetaphysicalFuel: In "The Wrong Stuff," Pester's spaceship is fueled by magnetism. When that runs out, the piñatas manage to refuel the ship using Hudson's [[IncrediblyLamePun magnetic personality]]. [[spoiler:When they need anti-charm in the reversed universe, they use Pester's personality instead.]]

** In “Treasure of Piñata Madre” Fergy has one when the lemonade he drank in the desert shot right through him

** In "Shirley Shells Out," Professor Pester created a potion that temporarily makes a Piñata turn Sour.

* SayMyName: Les's name was shouted ''3 times'' during "Les Saves the Day... Again!"--once by Paulie and Fergy, and twice by all of the Piñatas.
* SapientEatSapient: It’s shown in the episodes “Mad Mongo”, ”Speechless” and “My Little Fergy” that Cluckles, Squazzils and Whirlms are eaten and served up as dishes by other piñatas, even though all three species are shown to be just as sentient as they are.

--> '''Hudson''': One plasma TV - 6,000 chocolate coins. All the candy he can eat - 400,000 coins. One happy prisoner - priceless. For everything else, there's Langston's Piñata Central Platinum card!

* SpeciesSurname: Every piñata has one.

* SuddenVideoGameMoment: In "To Catch a Piñata" of ''{{VideoGame/Frogger}}'' with Paulie, Fergy, and Langston. [[ButtMonkey Predictably, Langston, despite being a frog, is the only one to fall into the river.]]
