History WesternAnimation / GrojBand

And so begins the series' formula. In nearly every episode, Corey and his band strike a new musical gig and must create the perfect song that will blow the socks off their audience and help them climb up the ladder to RockAndRoll stardom. However, Trina utterly loathes her little brother's garage band and will stop at nothing to crush their dreams of becoming the greatest band in history. But no matter what challenges Grojband encounters, nothing's going to stop Corey and his friends from doing what they always do best OncePerEpisode: A) rile up Trina's emotions enough for her to go into "Diary Mode" so she can write down her thoughts; and B) "secretly" take inspiration from Trina's brand-new diary entry to craft the lyrics for an awesome new tune that will truly rock and totally roll.

''Grojband'' made its world debut on June 10, 2013, but unusually, it premiered in the United States first rather than in Canada, being one of many Canadian imports prominent on Creator/CartoonNetwork at the time. The show did eventually arrive in Canada on Creator/{{Teletoon}} on September 5, 2013, but had already finished airing its first 13 episodes in the States by then. The series suffered from [[ScrewedByTheNetwork some wonky scheduling]] during its time on air, with the second half of the first season being delayed for nearly two years in both the US and Canada. The remaining episodes eventually arrived on TV on February 22, 2015 on Creator/{{Boomerang}} in the States, with Teletoon airing them a month later, but the show's cancellation was announced shortly afterwards.

[[ShortRunners At only 26 episodes]], it is Fresh TV's shortest-lived standalone series. While ''Grojband'' never achieved the same level of success or popularity that Fresh TV's more famous works did during its brief but intense life on the small screen, this wild and offbeat little show nonetheless has an immensely passionate cult following.

* TeensAreShort: Laney and Kin are both pretty small for 13-year-olds, although they make up for it by being the brainiest characters on the show.

** Corey: Blueberry Waffles
*** Also, his favorite drink is chocolate milk.

''Grojband'' made its world debut on June 10, 2013, but unusually, it premiered in the United States first rather than in Canada, being one of many Canadian imports prominent on Creator/CartoonNetwork at the time (although the Americans did have some minor involvement in the show's development process).

* TheyDo: [[spoiler:Implied with Laney and Corey in the finale. Corey's ending speech and actions around Laney seem to suggest he's finally realized his feelings for her.]]

* SuperOCD / AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Corey has both OCD and ADD[=/=]ADHD, according to WordOfGod. He's known for booking a gig at every chance he gets and not letting even one slip by, and his quirky but charming personality well reflects it.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Mina is probably the most slapstick-prone member of the cast.

* AuthorAppeal: Why the show exists actually. Todd Kauffman has said that his inspiration for the show was simply that he had always wanted to make a cartoon about a garage band. And while he really liked the idea, for the longest time he had no idea how to make it unique and interesting... until he decided the main character should get the inspiration for their songs from his sister's diary. And when he pitched it to Creator/FreshTV, tey absolutely loved that idea, and the rest is history as they say.

* {{Nerd}}: Mina and Kin are this, and the episode "Math of Kon" has Grojband trying to tap into the nerd crowd by performing at a math competition.

** Laney really hates that everyone keeps thinking she is a guy. Taken UpToEleven in the episode "No Strings Attached", where she gets a male puppet (which is dressed exactly like her but with shorter hair, no hair clip, a five o'clock shadow and a long body) and what do the other members of Grojband do when Laney comments on this? [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom Act like it's normal]]. Kin even says it's the spitting image of her.

* TeensAreMonsters: Trina Riffin is a prime example of this, as well as being the series BigBad. She exemplifies many of the worst characteristics stereotypically associated with teenage girls but taken UpToEleven to the point of making her a vicious, psychopathic HateSink who would do anything to get what she wants with no regard for others.

* BlindingBangs: In "Hair Today, Kon Tomorrow", Laney's hair metal wig covers her eyes.

* {{Hellevator}}: In "Love in a Nethervator", an infernal elevator takes the band to the underworld to confront the Button Keeper, a demon said in Rock Lore to be the creator of all elevator music. [[spoiler:It turns out that the Button Keeper is actually a man named Otis (who can turn into a demon if his NiceHat is removed), a former elevator operator who hated elevator music as much as Corey does and moved to the Underworld to trap it.]]

* NiceHat:
** Corey wears his beanie everywhere. He even wears a blue version of it when he sleeps.
** Mayor Mellow also has one, and it also doubles as a phone.

* AbsenteeActor: Mina doesn't appear in "Myme Disease" or "The Pirate Lounge for Me" and was even intentionally neglected in "Cloudy with a Chance of Malt Balls."
-->'''Trina:''' "That extra pass is staying with me."\\
'''Mina:''' "Can I have it?"\\
'''Trina:''' "You're not in this episode."\\
(Mina sadly walks away, leaving the episode)

* AlphaBitch: Trina is the most popular girl in her grade and poses an authoritarian grip over it, complete with her own spineless follower in Mina. Carrie is also one.

* FictionalHoliday: [[WhenThePlanetsAlign Comet Day]], instated on a [[LeapDay leap Saturday]], Julaugust 17th.

* {{Meganekko}}: Mina is very cute and wears large spectacles.
