** "And That's the Weather" establishes Granny Yak being able to predict the weather by the way her bunions are acting up. Yakkity uses this to become a heavily acclaimed weatherman, who appears borderline psychic to the townsfolk. However, Granny Yak then gets her bunions removed, leading Yakkity and Keo to hatch a ZanyScheme using Prof. Crazyhair's new weathwr-making machine. Yakkity's 15 minutes promptly end when Granny Yak pours garbage into the weather machine (mistaking it for a garbage can) after Yakkity predicted a nice sunnt day.

Need more context, and that doesn't sound like enough to make a character an Expy.


* {{Expy}}: Lemony is oddly similar to [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Lisa Simpson]], only without the use as an AuthorTract.
** Also, Gary, the BigBad in certain episodes, is very similar to [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Plankton]], what with his constantly failing evil plans to steal the secret recipe for some specific food.
** Mr. Highpants is [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa King Dedede]].

Adding tropes


* FifteenMinutesOfFame: Considering that the premise involes Yakkity trying to become famous, this tends to happen a lot;
** In "I Want My Yak TV, Yakkity gets huge metal braces for his antlers, and they end up intercepting the sattelite signals, which pretty much turn him into a glorified TV antenna. Everyone begins using Yakkity's brace as a means to watch free TV, which end up causing Yakkity to become famous... until he realizes that everyone was using him for the brace. Everyone ends up abandoning him when the brace gets broken.
** "And That's the Weather" establishes Granny Yak being able to predict the weather by the way her bunions are acting up. Yakkity uses this to become a heavily acclaimed weatherman, who appears borderline psychic to the townsfolk. However, Granny Yak then gets her bunions removed, leading Yakkity and Keo to hatch a ZanyScheme using Prof. Crazyhair's new weathwr-making machine. Yakkity's 15 minutes promptly end when Granny Yak pours garbage into the weather machine (mistaking it for a garbage can) after Yakkity predicted a nice sunnt day.
** "High Fashion Yak". Yakkity is forced by his grandmother to wear a new hat that he clearly hates, and he immediately gives it to Keo, who loves the hat. As a matter of fact, ''everyone'' falls in love with the hat, and with the help of Mr. Highpants, Yakkity and Keo end up becoming instant celebrities for starting a new fashion trend. But then, when a man comes into the candy shop wearing an imitation, Highpants declares the fad to be over, and Yakkity and Keo try to come up with a new fashion trend so they can remain popular. They decide to make jumpsuits out of life rafts, and while everyone enjoys that at first, they end up hating it when the rafts started inflating.



* AmnesiaEpisode: "Regarding Chuck" is about Chuck Damage getting amnesia after getting hit by Yakkity's scooter.



* ElectionDayEpisode: "Election Dysfunction" sees Keo and Lemony running against each other for class president.

* FurIsClothing: Yakkity's fur coat is depicted as a literal fur coat that can be taken off.
* GameShowAppearance: In "The Yak In The Hat", everyone tries to convince Keo to appear on a quiz show because he knows all the answers, but he can't do it because he has [[PerformanceAnxiety extreme stage fright.]] So Yakkity decides to go on the show instead, wearing a giant hat for Keo to hide in, so he can give him the answers.


Added DiffLines:

* HypnoFool: The first episode, "Hypnotic Yak" has Yakkity hypnotizing the whole town into thinking he's funny. This goes well for him, at first, [[GoneHorriblyRight but things take a wrong turn]] when people start laughing at everything he says.
