History Series / KirbyBuckets

The series follows Kirby Buckets (Jacob Bertrand), an aspiring animator with an [[MrImagination overactive imagination]]. Kirby and his friends, Fish and Eli, often find themselves involved in [[WeirdnessMagnet unpredictable escapades at school]], while [[RogerRabbitEffect Kirby's drawings]] provide a sort of commentary on the various events. The show follows a basic formula each episode, usually with Kirby causing or encountering some kind of problem that [[StatusQuoIsGod usually gets resolved by the end of episode]].

* SuspiciousSuggestionBox: In one episode, Kirby, Fish, and Ellie are about to snatch the suggestion box; it contained a comic that made fun of the teachers at school. The trio learned that the teachers are making fun at the students' suggestions during a party.

* AbsenteeActor: Tiffany Espensen, who plays Belinda, isn't always present and tends to be omitted from various episodes. Whenever she's not around she isn't listed in the credits. During Season 3, she is absent for several episodes because she is stuck in the dungeon in the medieval universe.

* MoralityPet: Dawn usually acts like a nice teenage girl, although still quite selfish, instead of a bossy one whenever she's around Belinda.

* VoicesAreMental: Kirby and Dr. Mac & Cheese when they switch bodies.

* SternTeacher: Principal Mitchell shows signs of this.

* BetaBitch: Belinda, though she isn't as malicious as Dawn is, and in fact is rarely unlikeable.

* AlphaBitch: Dawn has the "Bitch" attitude, but she isn't very popular. She's also rivals with one who has the "Alpha" (Mandy). Mandy swings between a LoveableAlphaBitch ("Killer Puppies") and just a plain-old AlphaBitch ("Kirby to the Max")

%%* CloudCuckooLander: Wild Gil (needs elaboration)

** Also one for ''Series/ZekeAndLuther'', Disney XD's previous single-camera sitcom show. Many of the characters are obvious {{Exp|y}}ies of those from ''Z&L'' (i.e. Kirby and Zeke, Eli and Luther, Fish and {{Face}} Kojo, Dawn and Ginger, Belinda and Poochie, Gil and Don, Mitchell and Dingle, Ricky and Ozzie, the Babcocks and the Plunks) and some very similar episode plots ("All Hands on Dexter" is an obvious rehash of "Not My Sister's Keeper")

The show premiered on October 20th, 2014 and was renewed for a second season in January of 2015. The series was confirmed for a third season over the summer of 2016.

* AbsenteeActor: Tiffany Espensen, who plays Belinda, isn't always present and tends to be omitted from various episodes.

* AlphaBitch: Dawn has the "Bitch" attitude, but she's also rivals with one who has the "Alpha" (Mandy).

* BigBadEnsemble: Dawn and Principal Mitchell are the primary antagonists who hate Kirby and often try to ruin his fun.

** Dawn may be malicious and easy to hate, but there is a sympathetic angle to her--she was always picked on and made fun of in school, and her brother contributed to it.

* {{Jerkass}}: Dawn and Mandy, Dawn's rival. The two are almost comically mean-spirited and selfish, though Dawn does have rare moments where she becomes more sympathetic.

* MonsterClown: The episode "Send In The Clown".
* MoralityPet: Dawn usually acts like a nice teenage girl instead of a bossy one whenever she's around Belinda.

* TwoLinesNoWaiting: One of the few Disney shows with a specific character formula for this trope, as the plots are pretty much always going to be Kirby/Fish/Eli and Dawn/Belinda.

** Her parents also favor Kirby and his life. Often ignoring or belittling Dawn, praising Kirby as their 'greatest accomplishment' right infront of a young Dawn.

* FantasticRealism: Though the show is goofy, it is otherwise a substantially mundane school centric setting. However, plenty of episodes bring strangely supernatural elements to the series, such as a magic pen that brings Kirby's drawings to life among others. Season 3, subtitled ''Warped'' pretty much throws the whole mundane aspect of the show right out the window, introducing a strange orb that allows Kirby and his friends to teleport to alternate universes, among other strange quirks. Of course, [[MundaneFantastic the show never treats any of this as anything other than an everyday occurrence.]]

Confirmed to be part of the {{DCLAU}} through a [[RedSkiesCrossOver Red Skies]] CrossThrough event.
