History WesternAnimation / Wonderpets

* ExcitedEpisodeTitle: Though it's seen more often in the episode listings than an actually appears in the title displays shown on the program itself.

* ShoutOut: To TheBeatles, FiddlerOnTheRoof, and the RatPack, to name but a very few. Also double as a ParentalBonus.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ollie is impolite and more than a little bit irritating during his appearances. This has the added affect of making his philosophies as unappealing as he himself is.

* ShoutOut: To TheBeatles, FiddlerOnTheRoof, and the RatPack, to name but a very few.

* WAFF: This series is stuffed full of it.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: For example, the song quoted above is delivered with all the gravitas worthy of a Wagnerian epic.

"Wonder Pets" is a NickJr series about three cute little baby animals who go on adventures to save other cute little baby animals. The animation is created with cut-out photographs and all the important dialogue is delivered operatically. Trust us, it is BetterThanItSounds.

->'''Linny Guinea Pig:''' "A baby animal! She's in trouble!"
->''' Turtle Tuck:''' "We have to help her!"

* DidNotDoTheResearch[=/=]MisplacedWildlife: If the writers had done more research, they would've found out that flamingos aren't indigenous to Jamaica. And before you say that they were saving one in a colouring book, Linny says "There are lots of flamingos in Jamaica!".

* AdultsAreUseless

* CatchPhrase: "This is sewious!"

* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Ming-Ming. Well, she's about five. So it's not really her fault.
** It's also a ThrowItIn that carried over from the audition process.

* ExcitedEpisodeTitle
* FridgeLogic - Who wants to hug a turtle?
* FurryConfusion - In the circus episode.

* HesOkay
* HeyItsThatVoice: [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Steven Tyler]] and Ziggy Marley play the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat, respectively in the Adventures in Wonderland episode.
* IAmNotWeasel - Linny, whenever anyone refers to her as simply "pig," or some other type of rodent, such as "hamster."

* JumpIllCatchYou
* JustInTime

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed - In one episode they saved a band of insect musicians called The Beetles. (Three of which were voiced by Lenie Colacino, one of the stars of the musical "Beatlemania.") In another episode they meet three rats named Sammy, Dino and Blue Eyes. And in one episode they rescue a hound dog whose father is a canine version of Elvis Presley.
** These also count as ParentalBonus.
* OnceAnEpisode - Being a kid's show, it happens a lot.

* PowerTrio - Linny (ego), Tuck (superego), and Ming-Ming (id).
* RegularCaller - "The phone, the phone is ringing!" "The phone, we'll be wight there!"

** "Save the BengalTiger":
-->'''Ming-Ming:''' You had to wake me up when I am asleep!

* StrictlyFormula
** "Save the Duckling!", "Save the Nutcracker!" and "Save the Rat Pack!" all subvert this.
* SuperheroSpeciation - To a ridiculous degree. You know as well as we do that baby ducks are born swimmers, but because Tuck Turtle is already the Designated Swimmer, Ming-Ming is the team's resident... flyer. Because ducklings can fly. Before they know how to swim. [[YouFailBiologyForever Sure.]]

* TheLoad: Ollie the Rabbit, who is guaranteed to either screw up the rescue when he comes along and/or require rescuing himself. He's also a {{Jerkass}}.
** Notably, Ollie tends to attempt things on his own ''before'' he screws things up and/or requires rescuing. One wonders if he was deliberately thrown in to reinforce the show's Aesop.

* WeHelpTheHelpless
** [[ItsWhatIDo It's What We Do]]
