[[caption-width-right:300:"This is The Console. Pixelface Games now loading..."]]

Set in the imagined world inside a games console, ''Pixelface'' is a CBBC sitcom spin-off from the sketch show ''Sorry, I've Got No Head''. The show follows the on-and-off-screen lives of a group of computer game characters, each from a different genre. There's Aethelwynne, a questing elf; Claireparker, a zombie battling waitress; Rex Dynamo, a marsupial hybrid who collects apples; Sgt. Riley, a space marine; Lady Alexia Alderton, a glamorous legend hunter; and Kiki Nova, an incredibly upbeat and enthusiastic dance star. ''Pixelface'' shows the characters waiting to play their game and reacting when their console is invaded by the likes of an evil bug or a Premiership football team.

!!''Pixelface'' contains examples of:

* AirVentPassageway: Used by the entire main cast when the zombies from Claireparker's game invade the console.
* CleavageWindow: Alexia's outfit.
* CompanionCube: In "Out of Sight", a glitch in the system renders Claireparker unable to be detected by the rest of the occupants of the console. Starting to crack up, she begins talking to the rubber duck she picked up in the last session of her game.
* DidYouGetANewHaircut: Happens when Kiki has illegally eaten one on the power-up fruits from Rex's game and turned into a giant. Rex sees her and comments that there is something different about her: her hair is glossier. A few seconds later, he realises that she is also six times her normal size.
* TheDitz: Kiki Nova
* DIYDisaster: Romford's attempt to 'upgrade' the kettle somehow results in the toaster launching ProjectileToast at Alexia.
* GodGuise: In "High Spirits", the angry ghost of a pharaoh mistakes Rex for an Egyptian god after Romford falls out of the ceiling and gets stuck on his head.
* GroundhogDayLoop: In "Reset", Claireparker causes this by using a literal ResetButton in an attempt to create 'the perfect day'.
* ImplausibleDeniability: When Claireparker asks Rex if he's tearing out pictures of apples from a book and eating them again, Rex answers "No!" through a mouthful of paper.
* JugglingLoadedGuns: Sgt. Riley uses his plasmatronic laser for all kinds of mundane tasks, such as opening a carton of milk.
* LethalChef: Aethelwynne.
* ManEatingPlant: Stanley Badgeworth in "The Problems of Dr Nigiri".
* MirrorUniverse: In one episode, Riley exits the game from the wrong port and finds himself in a different console where Alexia is an ExtremeDoormat, Aethelwynne is a JerkJock, Rex is an InsufferableGenius, Claireparker is ThePigpen and Kiki is... a large, hairy man.
* NeatFreak: Claireparker
* NotWearingPantsDream: Referenced by Rex in "Mrs Dynamo's Son":
-->Oh no! Is this a dream? Am I going to have to sit an exam with no pants on in a moment?
* ProjectileToast: See DIYDisaster above.
* ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud: Claireparker rehearsing for her cut scene.
* RobotBuddy: Romford
* RushedInvertedReading: Rex does it in "Mrs Dynamo's Son". He tries to act casual after hiding his mother in the sofa, but is reading his comic upside down.
* SleepingDummy: Rex makes one of his mother in "Mrs Dynamo's Son".
* ThisIsMySide: In "High Spirits", Alexia splits the console in half, with her on one side and everyone else on the other.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Rex really loves apples.
* TheVoice: The Console
* WhosOnFirst: Done when Alexia is solving a crossword:
-->'''Alexia:''' I'm stuck on this last clue. Four letters, starts W A. 'A unit of power'.
-->'''Claireparker:''' Watt.
-->''HilarityEnsues''
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Riley is afraid of dogs.
* WithCatlikeTread: After Alexia destroys Clairparker's favourite shirt, Kiki loans Claireparker one of her outfits. After Claireparker wears it in her game, she discovers it very hard to hide from zombies when your outfit literally lights up and glows in the dark.
