History Series / HoleyMoley

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Rob thinks this way of a golfer named Blake Sledge in ''3D in 2D''; always saying his name with added emphasis and talking about him as if he were a superhero or a secret agent. And he got to do so in two episodes, since ''"Blake Sledge!"'' made the finals.

On January 21, 2021, Rob Riggle, Joe Tessitore, and Jeannie Mai appeared on ''Celebrity Series/WheelOfFortune'' to compete for charity.

->-- '''Rob Riggle'''

* DisproportionateRetribution: A contestant on ''King Parthur's Court'' wedged himself between the horse and the wall to avoid falling in the water. A judge then came on to inform the contestant that he did fall off the horse and would incur the one-stroke penalty. Throughout this, Joe and Rob invoked the trope by encouraging the contestant to punch or kill the judge.

* MuppetCameo: When ads for ''Fore-Ever!'' started playing, the big selling point was that the Muppets were going to be on the show.

** Rob Riggle often expects The Distractor to be a bear. In Season 4, The Distractor is finally a bear... but Rob is too late to see it.

** Rob Riggle often expects The Distractor to be a bear.

** Rob considers himself [[TheFaceOfTheBand the star]] of ''Holey Moley'', when that honor technically belongs to the creator of the show, Stephen Curry. When ''Fore-Ever!'' tries to drop Riggle from the brand, he fears that the show is in serious peril and calls upon the Muppets for help.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Series/{{Wipeout}}''. ''Holey Moley'' is actually filmed in the same location ''Wipeout'' was, the Sable Ranch in Santa Clarita, California.

** In ''Holey Moley: Fore-Ever!'', Rob becomes TheChewToy, with the higher-ups attempting to oust him from the show, doing everything to slash his treasured reputation. One new hole had a dummy of him on a trapeze.

* SequelEscalation: Season 2 features holes that are much more elaborate than Season 1. For example, Season 1's final hole was made even more difficult and turned into an ''opening'' round.

The series returned the next year for a second season as ''Holey Moley II: the Sequel'', with even more wacky gimmicks, a slimmer number of golfers to accelerate the game's progression, and a championship putt for $250,000 at the end of the competition. Third and fourth seasons have been ordered, with the third releasing in 2021 as ''Holey Moley: 3D [[ImmediateSelfContradiction in 2D]]''.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Rob thinks this way of a golfer named Blake Sledge in ''3D in 2D''; always saying his name with added emphasis and talking about him as if he were a superhero or a secret agent. This continues when Blake Sledge returns for the season finale.

* CuttingCorners: Evidently, the budget ran out with the lackluster Beaver Creek in ''The Sequel'', which was just a spinning column over blue cushions as opposed to water. Even the paint was coming off during gameplay. It's no surprise that this hole was ranked as the least popular at the end of the competition.

* LongTitle: ''The Sequel'' concluded with extra retrospective episodes called ''Holey Moley II: The Sequel: The Special: [[ColonCancer Unhinged: Part]] One/[[GratuitousFrench Deux]]''. The hosts mock and complain about the name throughout both specials, and a few times it was even made ''even longer''.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: The show is guilty of periodically editing out some matches and skipping over losing golfers to the point that sometimes they don't even get their names mentioned. ''The Sequel'' largely gets rid of this by cutting back on the number of golfers and holes per episode (a hole or two will still have a part skipped over, but at least all holes get shown).

* ThatsGottaHurt: One golfer took a bad spill on Slip N' Putt and smacked his face on the slope, which led to a nosebleed. On the same hole, another golfer slid down on her bare knees and once she crossed onto the green, the grass tore up her left kneecap and it bled heavily. (''The Sequel'' added a barrier at the bottom of the slope to prevent skidding on the grass from happening again.)
* ThirdIs3D: Parodied by the third season being named ''3D in 2D''. And true to the title, it is in 2D.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Rob thinks this way of a golfer named Blake Sledge in ''3D in 2D''; always saying his name with added emphasis and talking about him as a MemeticBadass.

** The announcers usually make a joke at Course Marshall Joe's expense at the times when he appears on the course. The animated segments in ''The Sequel'' also often subject him to cartoony pratfalls.

* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: Both ''The Sequel'' and ''3D in 2D'' feature holes with DoubleEntendre names, with the hosts making as many jokes as possible. In ''The Sequel'' it was {{Uranus|IsShowing}} (meaning the planet) and in ''3D in 2D'' it's The Pecker (as in woodpecker). The Parcade in ''2D in 3D'' also gets honorable mention, since it includes a reference to ''The Sequel''[='s=] Uranus hole and invites the same jokes.

* TheAce: Tanner Beard

* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: Both ''The Sequel'' and ''3D in 2D'' feature holes with DoubleEntendre names, with the hosts making as many jokes as possible. In ''The Sequel'' it was {{Uranus|IsShowing}} (meaning the planet) and in ''3D in 2D'' it's The Pecker (as in woodpecker).

* UranusIsShowing: ''The Sequel'' includes a planet-themed hole named Uranus, and the hosts make every Uranus joke they can think of.

* CrossOver: A really weird one with ''Series/TheBachelor'' in ''The Sequel''. It featured ((((((Chris Harrison)))))) as a guest commentator, and all the players were single men and women, with the girls exchanging their high heels for golf trainers and concluding with a "date" between the remaining man and woman on Double Dutch Courage (the girl actually went after the lifeguard instead!).

* RecycledInSpace: Ho Ho Hole from “3D in 2D” is a Christmas-themed reskin of Pole-cano from “The Sequel”. The first time the former shows up, this fact is [[LampshadeHanging heavily lampshaded]].

** Mount Holey Moley, the original designated final hole, was retooled into Polcano, where the drop zone element became more difficult, and the zip line onto a floating platform became a zip line to try and grasp a giant totem pole. In Season 3, it became Christmas-themed as Ho Ho Hole.

** Season 3 episode "Pretty Tee-rrific" has Rob plug fake beer brand "Meister King".

* ProductPlacement: ''3D in 2D'' has The Fishing Hole, which is sponsored by a fishing supplier.

* MythologyGag: Joe and Rob wear the same yellow jackets as that ABC's 1970s sports commentators did in shows like ''Series/WideWorldOfSports''.

* PlayingWithFire: Dragons Breath, a medieval-themed hole, has giant dragons that blast incredible amounts of flames at the golfers, who are clad in fireproof suits and face shields while looking like royal knights. Rob joked that the original name for this hole was "Lawsuit".

* ToiletHumor: Hole Number Two in ''The Sequel''. Yes, it's ''that'' kind of "Number Two" - golfers have to dash past a row of port-a-potties before their occupants open the doors and smack them into the water.

** In season 1, Dutch Courage had two four-bladed windmills and an ordinary miniature windmill to get past. Come season 2, the hole received an upgrade to ''Double'' Dutch Courage, with the big windmills now featuring five blades and a drawbridge that raises after putting a ball onto the green and forces players to leap their way through the second windmill. The mini windmill is gone, since the hole was made already hard enough.

'''''Holey Moley''''' is a series on Creator/{{ABC}} created by Chris Culvenor that premiered in 2019. It pits various miniature golf pros and enthusiasts alike against a mini-golf course taken to the extreme with super-sized challenges and obstacles to conquer.

The first season lasted from June 20, 2019 to August 22, 2019, airing ten episodes. The series returned almost a year later for a second season starting May 21, 2020, as '''''Holey Moley II: the Sequel''''', with even more wacky gimmicks, a full eighteen holes (plus a concession stand with a practice green to putt balls in holes dubbed "The 19th Hole"), a slimmer number of golfers to accelerate the game's progression, and a championship putt for $250,000 at the end of the competition.
