History WesternAnimation / YinYangYo

* AffectionateGestureToTheHead:
** In "Dojo Oh No", Master Yo rubs Yin's head to comfort her while she's upset.
** Saranoia also does this briefly in "Bad Nanny Jamma" while assuring Yin will grow up to become successful.
* AffectionateParody: Incredibly common along with a few ShoutOut moments; only some include:
** The episode "Wonder Tweens Go!" is just a huge AffectionateParody of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. There’s also Yin's outfit which is also very similar to Franchise/SailorMoon.
** Then there's "Camp Magic Pants" which is an obvious parody of Literature/HarryPotter.
** "An Inconvenient Tooth" is entirely based off the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes shorts of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd with Expies of other characters appearing as cameos (such as Foghorn Leghorn-like Turkey).

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Needless to say, few of the animal character have colours resembling their IRL inspirations.

* AnimatedActors: Used prominently in "A Walk in The Woods" where Yin and Yang are shown commenting on the show's events via the comfort of a trailer baring the show's logo. "An Inconveinient Tooth" also concludes with the twins speaking directly to the audience.

* FurryReminder:
** Though not always, there are a few subtle elements of this. During "Mission Yin-Possible", Yin states that her and Yang could get over the lasers by jumping. Yang looks at her with a confused expression before bluntly reminding them that their rabbits.

* HeartSymbol: Yang leaves them behind him [where a cartoon character would ordinarily leave a puff of smoke] as a wake when he realizes his crush likes him back.

** [[spoiler:In the episode "Upstanding Yuck", Yuck was beaten up by a group to become good and then became evil again when he got beaten up by Yin and Yang one too many only to realize that he was [[GoodAllAlong good all along]].]]

* KangarooCourt: One episode has Carl try to make it seem like Yin and Yang are guilty of misusing Woo-Fu for evil. But even with the jury being made up of Brother Herman’s Mooks and the witnesses being members of the RoguesGallery, it only succeeds up the point where Master Yo, acting as the defence lawyer, tricks Carl into an EngineeredPublicConfession (in spite of Saranoia claiming Yin is innocent, because the girl is never guilty and Kraggler falling asleep and forgetting his testimony). And then they go to jail anyway for wrecking the courtroom.

* KiManipulation: Magic is treated as this.
* KidAnova: Yang tries to be this to Lena. Key word [[CasanovaWannabe tries]].
* KidHero: Yin and Yang along with about every member of the Woo Foo Army; it’s never directly stated how old they are but it's implied to be around eleven to twelve years old.

** WellIntentionedExtremist: The grim reaper guardians of a candy land Yuck was terrorizing before the events of "Upstanding Yuck" are phrased this way. They remain completely anonymous entities but do run an "International House of Peaceful Readjustment" where their lessons include repeatedly beating Yuck until he stops being evil.

* HomeschooledKids: Both Yin and Yang are of age to at least be in middle school but are taught by Master Yo the academic and physical aspects of Woo Foo; could be justified, given that Woo Foo is treated as a joke by the community and schools wouldn't be considered necessary to begin with.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: In "Dance Dance Devastation", Yin and Yang briefly sing in GratuitousSpanish...then GratuitousGerman.

* HerCodeNameWasMarySue: Yang wrote alot of stories about being a superhero in a world he made up (when he was four) [[OldShame and is mortified when Yin discovers them]].

%% * LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* AppealToTradition: ''Division Quest'' had Indestructo-Bob beat up the King of Redneckistan, and due to tradition [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking he's now king]]. When Jobeaux and Yin show up to face him, Jobeaux is forbidden from using Woo Foo or getting help from Yin, since it's against tradition. Jobeaux decides that he does love his family, home and traditions, but having undergoen CharacterDevelopment, he reckons that tradition is not worth it if it puts an idiot like Bob in charge. His RousingSpeech leads the rest of Redneckistan to do the same.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: All the animal characters such as Yin and Yang, Master Yo, Yuck, Lina (a dog), and Coop would certainly have tails yet none of them do; in addition, there's also the fact some of the characters have floating ears yet can hear out of them just fine.
** [[LampshadeHanging This is even mentioned in "A Walk In The Woods":]]
--> '''Master Yo''': I'm looking for a couple of children: lazy, pink and blue, ears ain't attached to their heads... no tails.
** In "Yin Yang You", Yin, Yang, Lina, and Carl being trapped inside the real world causes them to slowly change into anatomically correct animals. Even before their transformation, the humans cannot hear them talk. To all four of them, this is ... less than good. To different degrees:
*** Yin and Yang are upset, since they have trouble controlling their "hoppy" legs and can't hold things with their paws.

* AnimationBump: The animation seems to improve in the second season.

* ArtShift: There are a few scenes which are drawn to look like a children's picture colored with crayons:
** "Gone-A-Fowl" has the slideshow done by Yang.
** "For The Love of Clamboy" has a demonstration of the Super Special Friends ceremony also done by Yang.
** "Upstanding Yuck" during Yuck's flashback.

* BadassAdorable: The cute, Technicolor rabbits Yin and Yang who look harmless at first glance but certainly have no problem beating enemies twice their size.

* MediumAwareness: Prominent in Season Two.

->''"In a world of chaos and disarray\\
Brother and sister save the day!"\\
"When might and magic work as one\\
A villain's plan can be undone!"''

** When Yang deliberately tries to ignore Yin on a road trip, he loudly slurps on [[GiganticGulp a giant soda]] but immediately regrets his decision after Yin reminds him that the average rabbit bladder can only hold six ounces of fluid. Cue the PottyEmergency.

** Yang stomps his foot repeatedly during "Fighting Fooberty" which can be a sign of excitement.

* IllnessBlanket: Yin is wrapped in one on the title card for "Woo Foo Flu." Averted in the episode proper, though, she she sends most of her time in bed.

* {{BFS}}: Smoke’s sword which is nearly as large as she is.

** Dave who receives a fair amount of beatings and ill treatment from his friends no matter the situation; ironically, he’s one of the strongest characters due to his ability to speak to trees and use them during battle.

* IKissYourHand: This is used as a sneak tactic to remove the Fooplication Charm from someone’s wrist and hide it in the mouth during “Imperfect Fooplicates”.

* StrawFeminist: Saranoia who is determined to take Yin away from her male teacher and brother because she’s convinced she’s being abused.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Coop gets one after [[spoiler: ingesting the Night Master’s powers]].

* SwordAndSorcerer: Yang’s Might and Yin’s Magic form the twins into this duo.

* {{Tsundere}}: Lina[[spoiler:, she even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this to Yang in Gone-A-Fowl.]]

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Averted - Nancy O. Delffa (and voiced by none other than Nancy O'Dell herself)

* MaliciousMisnaming: Saranoia does this to Yang every time she (Saranoia) appears on the show, the nickname Mark

* BrickJoke: This series runs on these, but the biggest one comes from ULTIMOOSE: in "The Trouble with Twonicorns", he says he wants to pick up chicks, with his horns showing [[PungeonMaster a baby chicken]] the last episode of the series has ULTIMOOSE [[spoiler:honestly attracting Coop's mom.]]

!!This series provides examples of:

*** [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments "I said 'Chee-hoo-wha', not 'Chihuahua'!"]]

* BeeAfraid:
** Bees attack Yang in "How the Cookie Crumbles" and "Today You are a Bear"
** Lina gets attacked by them in "Zarnot's Girlfriend."

* {{Smurfing}}: As a parody of TheSmurfs, the Smorks do this constantly.

** [[JustifiedTrope Makes sense]], for some of them, considering:
*** Dave's parents are also [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons treants]], possibly with the same abilities.
*** Boogie Man's father also looks to be the same kind of fighter.
*** Roger Jr.'s father (and probably mother) are [[PunchClockVillain Punch clock villans.]]
*** Coop's Mother is the strongest of all... a hottie with Public Relations power.
** Carl and Herman count as well, seeing that Carl is a powerful wizard and Herman is an ant with SuperStrength.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Kraggler does this to Yin and Yang.

''Yin Yang Yo!'' is a 2006 Canadian-American AnimatedSeries produced by Jetix as its third original series (after ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'' and ''WesternAnimation/GetEd'') for its programming block on Creator/ToonDisney (later Creator/DisneyXD) and Creator/FamilyChannel. It retains the same creative team behind Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' and ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' so naturally [[SignatureStyle there are quite a few similarities]]; in addition, the animation style is very reminiscent of ''WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy'' due to both shows sharing the same creator, Bob Boyle.
