* UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash: The show is apparently done using this tool.

* AudienceParticipation: See ''Fake Interactivity'' below.

* UsefulNotes/BritishEnglish: Justified as the English dub is meant for BBC/ABC (the Australian one) airing. But then you get strange words like ''dustbin lorry'' (garbage truck).

* MarketBasedTitle: ''Didou'' is also known as ''Louie'' in most other countries outside of France, except the US, where he is known as ''Sam'' instead.

* NoFourthWall: Played straight.

* EdutainmentGame / LicensedGame: One for the [[Franchise/LeapFrog Leapster]], and that's not counting the [=iOS=] ones.

* SpeakInUnison: The children voiceovers. They take the whole FakeInteractivity-related chorus of voices thing UpToEleven, as they literally say everything in unison no matter how extense their response to Didou turns out to be.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The special "Louie and the Rainbow Fairy". It completely ditches out the FakeInteractivity and has a main antagonist: a wizard called Kroodle that wants to turn the world into black via some creatures called the Krockolors and must be stopped by Louie and his friends. [[spoiler: In the end, Yoko and the Blue Knight, a friend that the duo made in the beginning of the special, are even turned into Krockolors and there's actual tension for Louie to [[ItMakesSenseInContext draw a magic wand in a hurry and without explaining the steps used]] ]].

* NoAntagonist: Well, not all of the creatures drawn by Didou will be coorporative, but the worst they can be are {{JerkAss}}es that do little more than disobey Didou.

** {{iOS Games}}: at least three of them.

* AudienceParticipation: See ''Non-Interactivity'' below.

* NoExportForYou: The Leapster game. The show is also not airing in the US and many other countries as well (it seems that outside the UK and Europe, the show is only aired in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore). Thankfully, most online stores located in France do stock the [=DVDs=], which is thankfully Bilingual and switches to address "Didou" as "Louie" in the English dubs. Unfortunately, the discs are [[RegionCoding region-locked to region-2 players only]]. Nothing a region-free player can't handle tho. Strangely averted with the iOS games tho.

* CrossdressingVoices: In the English version of the show, Louie is voiced by ''Emma Tate''. Averted with the French version of the show apparently.

** {{iOS Games}}: ''Didou apprends-moi à dessiner et à écrire les lettres''
