History Series / WendellAndVinnie

* {{Expy}}: Trainor and Handleson pretty much play the same characters they had in ''Series/ICarly'' and ''Series/ShakeItUp''
%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* ChildrenRaiseYou

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''iCarly''...or at least specifically to Spencer Shay (Jerry Trainor's character from the show)

* InstantWebHit: In episode five, Vinnie rants at a teacher outside of Wendell's school and mentions, amongst [[PrecisionFStrike several other things]], a "poop chart". There were several dozen children recording. Within a few hours, it's had an [[WebAnimation/YouTubePoop electronica remix.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Keep in mind, new episodes were premiered in early-evening Saturdays, wedged right in-between ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' and ''Series/FullHouse''. It should also be noted that the series was originaly meant for Creator/NickAtNite, resulting in the humor being more radar-y in comparison to Nickelodeon's normal fare.
** In the first episode, when Vinnie comes downstairs, Wendell immediately shuts down the computer and says "Don't look!" Vinnie then begins to guess what it is ("Is it bikini girls? Gross-out videos? Combination?"), to which Wendell reveals it's his scrapbooking program. Vinnie's response?
--> '''Vinnie''': The next time I look at this monitor there had ''better'' be boobs!
** An episode also has a dirty magazine as one of the main plot points. Wendell then sneaks it off to school, implying that he basically showed his middle school friends porn.
** Wilma's subplot with the teacher never calling her back.
--> '''Wilma''': I gave you a part of me that night! Multiple parts, if I remember correctly...
** Taryn became Wendell's magic assistant, only for Wendell's sword to accidentally cut through her outfits, exposing her breasts to the entire middle school talent show audience. There's a lot of cheering, particularly from the boys.
** When Wendell is trying hide his cold so he can go to school.
--> '''Vinnie''': And I'm not good with sick people. The only time I'm good with bodily fluids is in a zombie movie or a...Let's just stick with zombie movie.
** Wilma's most recent ex-boyfriend, who works at a SuckECheeses, makes the comment, “It’s like a day in the mouse suit without the kids [[GroinAttack kicking me in the nards.”]]
** Wendell gets called a D-bag by one of Vinnie's friends. Wendell thinks the D stands for "dumb".

* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Girl]]: Wilma is one to her (and Vinnie's) father. She desperately craves his love and approval. He can barely stand to be in the same room with her. One look at them together and it becomes painfully clear where Wilma's issues with men stem from.

The series was cancelled in the summer of 2013, quietly ending its run while its time slot was taken over by shows more recognizable as Nickelodeon's traditional programming (namely ''TheHauntedHathaways'' and ''TheThundermans'').

* XMeetsY: When [[Series/{{iCarly}} Spencer]] gets guardianship of [[Series/ShakeItUp Henry Dillon]]. Both actors are pretty much playing their previous roles in this series, but as relatives.

* InstantWebHit: In episode five, Vinnie rants at a teacher outside of Wendell's school and mentions, amongst [[PrecisionFStrike several other things]], a "poop chart". There were several dozen children recording. Within a few hours, it's had an [[YoutubePoop electronica remix.]]

''Wendell & Vinnie'' is a comedy airing on {{Nickelodeon}}, created by Jay Kogen. The two co-stars are Vinnie (Creator/JerryTrainor), an immature, womanizing {{Adult Child}} who is appointed the guardian of Wendell; a 12-year old {{Heartwarming Orphan}} who is, conveniently, a {{Child Prodigy}} ([[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands in whatever subject is useful to the episode]]). The ''very first episode'' is literally Vinnie being [[DysfunctionalFamily investigated by Child Services after Wendell breaks his arm and almost dies from an allergic reaction.]] ...[[TemptingFate Yeah, he'll be okay.]]

* CasanovaWannabe: Wendell. Wilma could be seen as a RareFemaleExample.

* Jerry Trainor as Vinnie Bassett, the true child of the two. He even says in one episode, "I know what 12-year-old boys like 'cause I've been one for 20 years!" He runs a pop culture memorabilia business, and is fond of video games, comic books, and eating junk food. He realizes that he was given custody for Wendell because Wendell’s parents wanted to give Vinnie a chance and knew that Wendell is making his way no matter where he lives.

* Buddy Handleson as Wendell Bassett, an intelligent 12-year-old who has a number of hobbies. His parents died six months before the events of the show, so he lives with his uncle. He is stereotypically nerdy and does not have many friends. He enjoys magic tricks and homework (so much so that he even created a fictional student named Jeremy in order to get more homework).

* Nicole Sullivan as Wilma Bassett, Vinnie's older sister, Wendell’s aunt, and personal injury attorney. She does not understand why Wendell’s parents left Vinnie in charge and wants to be Wendell’s legal guardian for herself. She often tries to get men to date her, even if it means she must be dishonest—as in pretending she went to the same high school as a man she was attracted to or using a fake profile picture on an online dating website and claiming to be Persian.

* Haley Strode[6] as Taryn, the beautiful recently-divorced new neighbor of Wendell and Vinnie and close friend of the two. She comes from Houston, Texas. Vinnie was originally attracted to her, but after being rejected, they became friends.

* Angelique Terrazas as Lacy, Wendell's best friend whom he met in detention. She threatened him at first, but then she revealed that she is not really mean, but just wanted to look tough in front of her friends. She sometimes gets Wendell into trouble—Wendell's grandfather considers her a bad influence—but Wendell still likes her. She enjoys eating corn dogs. It is revealed that Vinnie is in a scrapbook club with Lacy's grandmother.
