8	''Erky Perky'' is an Australian-Canadian AllCGICartoon produced by Canada's CCI Entertainment (previously known for ''WesternAnimation/{{Eckhart}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/HarryAndHisBucketFullOfDinosaurs'') and Australia's Ambience Entertainment for Canada's Creator/{{YTV}} and Australia's Creator/SevenNetwork. The series was created by David Gurney, and it ran for 3 seasons with 78 episodes from 2006 to 2009.

10	The show stars Erquhart "Erky" Windsor (the blue one) and Percyville "Perky" Rosendahl (the yellow one), two lazy, bickering, dimwitted bugs who used to live on a hot dog cart on the streets of a big city, enjoying their idyllic life and the plentiful food scraps around them. However, one day Erky and Perky are accidentally bundled into a hotdog bag and taken home to a clean and sterile suburban kitchen with very little food scraps to eat. Now Erky and Perky must survive life in this strange new land, adapting to life with the other insect denizens of "the land of Kitchen", trying to find food in this barren and unfamiliar world, and occasionally trying to return to their former home of "Hot Dog Stand" -- all with varying degrees of success.
11	----
12	!!''Erky Perky'' provides examples of:
13	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Mad Margret has Kitchen intruders fashioned into leather goods.
14	* DeathWorld: Hot Dog Stand's true nature. The food is plentiful, but the metal floors made it unbearable to walk on in a sunny day, and there's a bug there that's bigger and meaner than Mad Margaret (and less eloquent than Boof).
15	* DelusionsOfEloquence: Stinks tends to talk this way.
16	* ExpositoryThemeTune: The theme song explains the entire premise of the show.
17	* FourLeggedInsect: All of the bugs are depicted with four limbs--two arms, two legs--although a few also have a set of wings.
18	* {{Gasshole}}: Stinks, who farts almost constantly. Justified, as he is a stinkbug. And needs to do so in order to maintain flight as he can't walk or run very fast.
19	* GelatinousEncasement: Cecil spends the majority of the episode "Sticky Situations" trapped in a block of jello after he dives directly into a jello mold.
20	* GenuineHumanHide: The insect equivalent. Local tyrant [[LargeAndInCharge Mad Margret]] has bugs who displease made into handbags: with their faces still intact.
21	%% * HeterosexualLifePartners: The main characters, Erky and Perky.
22	* HonestJohnsDealership: Frenzel always has profitable schemes on the go, preying on other bugs' naiveté or weaknesses to get himself ahead.
23	%% * HulkSpeak: Boof talks like this.
24	* LargeAndInCharge: Mad Margret is the biggest bug in kitchen.
25	%% * LovePotion: In one episode - or should we say, love crumb.
26	* NameAndName: More like Name Name.
27	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Averted, usually the name "Sedusa" is reserved for villains. But Sedusa in this show is sweet and kind and is nothing like her evil aunt.
28	* OrphanedPunchline: "...so I said 'If you're going to do that with my teeth, we should get married!'"
29	* RamblingOldManMonologue: Moldy van Oldy is a senile old bug who loves to talk and talk for hours, sometimes about actual events, sometimes nothing more than senseless ramblings.
30	* RunningGag: Whenever a character says "this stinks" or a word with "stink" in it, or a word that sounds like stink, Stinks appears.
31	* UnexplainedAccent: Despite the show presumably taking place in Australia or Canada (the countries that produced it), the main characters have thick Scottish accents for some reason.
32	* TongueOnTheFlagpole: Happens whenever the bugs get into the refrigerator. Fortunately, most of the characters have detachable tongues.
33	%%* SycophanticServant: Cecil to Mad Margret.
