''Gex'' is an AnimatedAdaptation of [[{{VideoGame/Gex}} the video game series of the same name]] that originally aired on Creator/ToonDisney. The show follows the adventures of Gex (Creator/DanaGould) and his partner Agent Xtra (Marliece Andrada), occasionally assisted by Gex's butler, Alfred (Marc Silk, spelled "Mark Silk" in the show's ending credits). Together, they foil the evil plans of Rez, a cybernetic entity bent on [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the Media Dimension]].

!''Gex'' contains examples of:
* ActionGirl: Agent Xtra actually goes on adventures, unlike her video game counterpart.
* BlackComedyBurst: Upon arriving in the Media Dimension dressed as a cop:
-->'''Gex:''' Why am I in the mood to mercilessly beat an L.A. motorist?
* CatchPhrase: Gex's is "It's tail time!", just as in the games.
* FarEast: One episode based around parodying Chinese [[MartialArtsMovie Martial Arts Movies]] features GratuitousNinja, a sumo wrestler, and a reference to sashimi.
* GoodLookingPrivates: Agent Xtra, the resident MsFanservice, wears a military uniform with a short skirt in "The Dirty Double".
* HypercompetentSidekick: Agent Xtra is this to Gex.
* IrisOut: Several episodes end this way, with Gex often delivering a OneLiner just beforehand.
-->'''Gex:''' Well it worked for Douglas Fairbanks!
* LetsGetDangerous: Gex usually runs around playing the fool or getting his ass handed to him until, OncePerEpisode, he says his CatchPhrase and becomes far more competent.
* ReferenceOverdosed: Gex makes almost nothing but references to movies and other TV shows throughout every episode, and almost every locale that he and Agent Xtra visit in the Media Dimension is a parody of something.
* SceneryGorn: The war-torn battlefield in "The Dirty Double".
* SilentSnarker: Agent Xtra does talk, but rarely enough that she often come off as silent compared to Gex, and she frequently rolls her eyes at his antics.
* StraightMan: Agent Xtra here acts as Gex's {{Foil}}, being serious, quiet, and competent in contrast to Gex's buffoonery.
* TalkativeLoon: Just like in the games, Gex doesn't shut up.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Rez is terrifying and dangerous, in stark contrast to the otherwise lighthearted parody fare of Gex's adventures.
