Western Animation: Roary The Racing Car

Roary The Racing Car is a British Children's clay-mation show about a perky young race car, his fellow racing cars of various nations and the pit crew. The show debuted in 2007 and is still ongoing.

Examples of the following tropes

Breaking the Fourth Wall - Tintop crashes into the camera as the cars dart off for a play race at the end of one episode.
Ear Worm - The main theme.
Everything Is Big In Texas - Tintop
Hey, It's That Voice! - Peter Kay as the voice of Big Chris. Also Maria Darling (Roary, among others.) voices Luke in the UK version of the Professor Layton games.
Jerkass - Maxi
Kid Hero - Roary
No Communities Were Harmed - Silver Hatch racetrack is an obvious reference to the two main British motor-racing tracks: Silverstone Circuit and Brands Hatch.
Punny Name - Roary (as in "roar" of engines), Cici (cc), Marsha the Marshall, Molecom the mole and so on. Drifter's name refers to Japanese Drift racing.
National Stereotypes
The Scrappy - Flash The Rabbit
Sixth Ranger - Conrod the Austrailian V8 Supercar.
Special Guest / Celebrity Star - Legendary Formula One commentator Murray Walker turns up in one episode as a replacement commentator.
Tertiary Sexual Characteristics - Cici is female. You know this because she's pink and has eyelashes on her headlights.
