History Series / LambChopsPlayAlong

* MoodWhiplash: The last act of the "At home with Lamb Chop" story with the song Shari sings about going after Lamb Chop if the latter runs away ends with both cuddling each other in a [[Heartwarming/LambChopsPlayAlong heartwarming moment]], then suddenly the "Tell yourself a joke" segment starts.

* ColdOpen: done in the episode "The Lamb Chop Show" as we are treated to a scene of Shari helping Lamb Chop with do the latter's hair and make-up before the theme song.

* GoToYourRoom: Lamb Chop says this to Shari, Charlie Horse, and Hush Puppy when she gets to pretend to be an adult for a day in one episode.

--> ''Shari'': (to Lamb Chop) "You're rarely more than an arm's length away from me."

* {{Malaproper}}: Lamb Chop sometimes scrambles long words in a typical little-kid way.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: Lamb Chop has a distinct "Fanny Brice" quality to her voice. (It mightight be Fridge Brilliance, since lamb is perfectly kosher, and the meat that was traditionally eaten for the Passover ''seder'', or meal, in ancient Israel.) There were eventually Hanukkah and Passover specials on video confirming that Shari (who was Jewish in real life) and the puppets all celebrate both holidays.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: Whenever "Little Red Riding Hood" was told on the show, the wolf only locked the grandma in the closet instead of swallowing her and was only chased away by the hunter instead of killed, and in "The Gingerbread Man," the fox [[SneezeOfDoom sneezed]] before he could eat the gingerbread man and blew him all the way home to the old couple who baked him.

* ContinuityNod: In the episode in which Lamb Chop wants to become a ballerina, Shari points out that every time Lamb has taken up a hobby in past episodes, she's quickly given it up. (For a change, Lamb Chop sticks with ballet.)

* EveryEpisodeEnding: "This is the song that doesn't end...yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because" (repeat!)

!! This series provides examples of:

* ColdOpen: done in the episode "The Lamb Chop Show" as we are treated to a scene of Shari helping Lamb Chop with doing the latter's hair and make-up before the theme song.

* EndOnTitle: The first thing we see during the end credits is the title card for the show appearing beneath Charlie Horse as he leads off "The Song That Doesn't End".

** Lamb Chop does it again in the episode "I'm Back!" because she thinks [[NotSoForgottenBirthday everyone forgot her birthday]], but quickly comes back on her own. To make her feel better, Shari asks Charlie Horse to be extra nice to her. Later, she reveals that Hush Puppy ran away with her, and is in hiding because of his own issues. Much to Charlie Horse's dismay, Shari asks him to be extra nice to Hush Puppy as well. Charlie Horse agrees on one condition: The next day, it will his turn to run away, and stalks off. Shari simply shrugs, and says to the audience that maybe the following day, it will be her turn.

* PunnyName / ThemeNaming: Food, in this case. Lamb Chop is, of course, [[CaptainObvious named after lamb chops]], and Hush Puppy is named after a cornmeal-and-catfish snack made to keep dogs happy and quiet. However, Charlie Horse is the odd man out--a "charley horse" is a slang term for a pulled muscle.

* KarmaHoudini: In the episode 'So Mad' Shari has Lamb Chop vent on a clay figure when she thinks she wasn't invited to her friend Courtney's birthday party. It later turns out that Courtney had invited her, and had given Hush Puppy the invitation to give to her, but Hush Puppy instead used the invitation himself. When Shari finds out, she simply has the two girls vent on a pillow, while Hush Puppy goes completely unpunished (Although she does briefly give him a look that implies she will on deal with him later).

'''Shari''': I think I've been grounded.

* TongueTwister: there is a recurring segment in which one is demonstrated and like the knock-knock joke segment, it has it's own song.
