* RealAfterAll: "Legend of the Phantom Racer" revolves around Digger and Eddie's attempts to get a picture of the titular Racer.

'''''Weird-Ohs''''' was a short-lived [[AllCGICartoon computer-animated]] cartoon series that aired on [[Creator/ABCFamily Fox Family]] and Creator/{{YTV}} in 1999. The series Running only 13 episodes in total, with each episode containing two 10 minute stories, it was based on a series one of model kits made the early products of Creator/RainmakerEntertainment, back when they were still known as Mainframe Entertainment. Inspired by the Hawk Model Company Company's 1960s line of "Weird-ohs Car-icky-tures", a series of monster-driven hot-rod and dragster caricature assemble-and-paint model kits, Weird-Ohs tells the story of a small band of crazies living in "Weirdsville", a town filled with car-obsessed monsters stated to lie just off of Route 66, revolving in particular around the hijinks of young Digger and his older, dumber partner Eddie in the 1960s. It starred a face of their need for entertainment and Digger's rivalry with his older sister Portia and local jerks Wade and Louie.

The entire
cast of deformed characters consists of:
* Digger Chassis, a young Weird-Oh who has yet to pass his driving class.
* Eddie, an older teen Weird-Oh who isn't the brightest, but yearns to be a great inventor.
* Portia Chassis, Digger's older sister, who dreams of winning the heart of local hotshot biker, Davey.
* Baby Chassis, an infant Weird-Oh who drives around in a turbo-charged motorized pram, Digger
and their misadventures in Weirdsville, a place just off Route 66. Only 13 episodes of Portia's little brother.
* Mama-B Chassis,
the series were ever produced.owner of a local roadhouse diner and Digger, Portia and Chassis' mother.
* Daddy-O Chassis, genius inventor and a teacher at Digger's school, Mama-B's husband.
* Huey, Eddie's uncle, a crazy old swamp-rat who homebrews his own super-potent fuel.
* Wade, local rich kid and a huge jerk, always attended by his enormous butler/chauffeur/bodyguard, Killer [=McBash=].
* Davey, a bike-riding Weird-Oh who is regarded as the local epitome of cool.
* Leaky Boat Louie, an ex-sailor and oddjobsman who is the local jerk.



* BadassBiker: Davey
* BeautyMark: Mama B and Portia
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Eddie, often.

to:

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: The LoveTriangle between Wade, Portia and Davey is kept running by the fact that Portia dislikes Wade and her feelings are ignored by Davey.
* BadassBiker: Davey
Davey breathes this trope to the point of caricature.
* BigEater: Eddie loves to gorge himself, to the point he is seen ''taking his hands off the wheel'' to assemble and consume his TrademarkFavoriteFood in the opening credits.
* BeautyMark: Mama B and Portia
Portia share this trait, which is a sign that they're mother and daughter.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Eddie, often.Eddie's lack of brains meant he was frequently unable to follow events going around him.
* CutShort: The series was cancelled after releasing only 26 stories in 13 episodes.



* HonoraryUncle: It's unclear Uncle Huey is related to the family, or if everyone just calls him that.
* {{Hunk}}: Davey

to:

* HonoraryUncle: It's unclear GoneHorriblyRight: Eddie tries to create a monster truck by using Daddy-O's experimental rubberized metal and his Uncle Huey's homebrew fuel. He ''gets'' a monster truck, alright... as in, a MechanicalMonster in the shape of a truck that parasitically sucks up fuel and keeps growing bigger and bigger. It levels Weirdsville before Baby Chassis takes it down with a spare diaper pin.
* HiddenDepths: Eddie seems like a loser, a slacker and a lunk, but he deeply wants both to be a great mechanic like Daddy-O and to prove worthy to inherit his uncle Huey's recipe for homebrewing ultra-potent fuel.
* HillbillyMoonshiner: Eddie's uncle
Huey has this aesthetic, but he brews ''fuel'', not moonshine. He even sets traps to discourage people from trying to steal it, since its sheer potency is related to the family, or if everyone just calls him that.
stuff of legend in Weirdsville.
* {{Hunk}}: DaveyDavey is seen as the most handsome young male Weird-Oh in Weirdsville, which is part of the reason that Portia is so obsessed with him.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The whole series was released in ''very'' limited supply as three cassettes ("Lights Camera Traction", "Wheel Trouble", and "Traffic Jam") in 2000, and a DVD box set in 2005. Only about 500 of each exist and fans desperately try to keep the circulation going, even uploading the series to media sites like Youtube.
* MadeOfIndestructium: Invoked in-universe in the episode "Gods and Monster Trucks", where Daddy-O attempts to create "rubberized metal" that can be used to build cars that will literally bounce back into shape, no matter the abuse they take. The result is... less than successful.



* NoNameGiven: The youngest of the three Chassis kids is never referred to by any name other than "Baby".



* RichJerk: Wade
* SecretDiary: "Diary of a Mad Sister"

to:

* RichJerk: Wade
Wade, the richest of the Weird-Ohs and also a total jerk.
* SecretDiary: The story "Diary of a Mad Sister"Sister" is built around Digger and Eddie stealing Portia's secret diary.
* SeriousBusiness: Two examples, both in-universe:
** Driving. Weirdsville is obsessed with driving, to the point that driving lessons are part of the basic school curriculum.
** Huey's homebrewed fuel recipe. One of Eddie's two biggest dreams, other than becoming a great car inventor like Daddy-O, is to prove worthy to inherit the recipe. He actually does obtain this dream during the series, when he inadvertently completes a sample of the fuel with the secret ingredient: [[spoiler: sweat]].



* VerbalTic: Mama B has a habit of saying "really" in some of her sentences.

to:

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Eddie loves "hoagie" style sandwiches.
* UglyCute: The characters are simultaneously gross and yet weirdly endearing, with large round eyes and exaggerated, vaguely froggy facial features.
* VerbalTic: Mama B Mama-B has a habit of saying "really" in some of her sentences.sentences. It's part of her stuck-in-the-50s aesthetic.


Added DiffLines:

* YouDontLookLikeYou: The characters are all based on the Weird-Ohs model kits, but the connection can be very hard to determine, especially for some with changed names. In particular, Mama-B and Baby Chassis are based on the "Drag Hag" model kit, with Mama-B looking ''very'' different to the ButterFace WitchClassic of her model counterpart. Then there's Killer [=McBash=]; a crazed football player in the model, a giant but elegantly suited butler in the show.
