* InflationaryDialogue: Well, the "Get Fink" episode ''is'' a Get Smart parody.
-->'''Ranger Fink:''' I happen to be an expert on escaping from these traps. Why, I've learned all kinds of escapes from watching four straight hours of ''Series/MythBusters''! Would you believe it? Four hours of ''[=MythBusters=]''!\\
'''Bonk the Hammer:''' I find that hard to believe.\\
'''Ranger Fink:''' Would you believe three hours of ''Series/GilligansIsland''?\\
'''Bonk:''' I don't think so.\\
'''Ranger Fink:''' How about half an hour of ''Series/OddSquad''?

''The {{HamsterBall}} Show!'' is a {{Hamsterball}} fanfic authored by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/~mrzanytothemax MrZanyToTheMax]] (which is Tropers/{{MrMenCentral}}'s username on Website/FanFictionDotNet). The series takes place in the fictional town of [[MeaningfulName Rodentia]].

The characters include:
* Hammy Fink - A hamster who can be quite competitive. His favorite activity is racing.
* Rachel "Ranger" Fink - Hammy's cousin who is pretty much [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname only known by her nickname]]. She is fluent in Mock Swedish, but only knows a little Mock Korean.
* Peepums Fink - Ranger Fink's sister and Hammy's other cousin. She is quite playful.
* Mr. Benjamin Raptis - A [[Franchise/TheMuppets Bunsen Honeydew]]-like character who works at Hamster Labs. He is usually called "Professor" by the other characters.
* [=OddBall=] Gilligan - An odd hamster who can [[GravityScrew walk up walls]]. Possibly created by putting the Odd Race and Gilligan (from ''Series/GilligansIsland'') in a blender.
* Alicia Lily Aska - A giant hamster[[note]]twice as tall as the other hamsters[[/note]] from UsefulNotes/{{Alaska}}. She is Mr. Raptis' assistant at Hamster Labs.

List of episodes:
# The Beginning: An episode about how (according to Rodentians) the game of {{Hamsterball}} was created.
# Get Fink: A ''Series/GetSmart'' parody starring Ranger Fink.

!!''The [=HamsterBall=] Show!'' contains examples of:

* AllThereInTheManual: In the author's comment for the character list, he mentions that Ranger Fink, Peepums, Mr. Raptis, and Squeaks the Mousetrap have names from Hamsterball's default high score table.
* ArcNumber: 26, as is the case with nearly all the author's work. It appears in "The Beginning". A 99 has yet to appear in the show.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Carla Cakenpresser, a SelfDemonstrating/SwedishChef parody, speaks Mock Swedish. Ranger Fink does too (but she mainly speaks English), and [=OddBall=] apparently knows Mock Korean.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Alicia was this at first.
