History WesternAnimation / WordWorld

* YouCanPanicNow: In "Happy Birthday, Dog!", Duck calls for everybody to panic after they drop the cake and the letters fall apart. Pig, however, is the voice of reason, reminding them that they still have all the letters, so they can still build the word.

* TalkingTypography: All of the characters are made from letters.

* MediumAwareness: The show follows this. All of the characters can not only hear the Narrator, but they even call him Mr. Narrator when they talk to him. None of them seem to be aware that they are characters in a television show though, and to be fair not much else about their world is exactly normal.

!!It's time to build a trope, let's build it, let's build it now! T-R-O-P-E. Trope. Yeah, we just built a trope, we built it, we built it!:

''[=WordWorld=]'' is a [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs very odd]] preschool show that centers on {{Funny Animal}}s and a [[FurryConfusion non-anthro dog]]--who are all living ''words''. They live in Wordville and can build new things out of letters. If you need a house, just build one out of the appropriate letters.

Pretty convoluted for something that's meant to teach kids how to spell, but whatever works.

Target has made a '''lot''' of merchandise for the show.

!!Tropes used:

* BigEater: Pig.

* CarnivoreConfusion: Shark.
* CatchPhrase: "We still have all the letters... so all the we have to do is build a word!"

* DeadpanSnarker: Duck.
* DisembodiedEyebrows
* ADogNamedDog.... [[UpToEleven and a sheep, and a bear, and a duck, and a frog...]] [[SerialEscalation Their bodies are actually made of their name.]]
* TheEveryman: Sheep.
* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Averted with Shark.

* FourLeggedInsect: Inverted with Cricket and averted with the other insects.

* FurryConfusion: Cow and Dog rarely talk, though it's often that Dog's barks can sound close to words. There are even realistic sea creatures.

* LivingProp: Cow.
* MerchandiseDriven: Tons of merchandise sold at Target. The new characters introduced for merchandise who don't appear in the show presumably have been KilledOffForReal.

* PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: Any four-legged Word World character (Tiger, Elephant, Turtle, Monkey, Dog, Cat, and Goat)

* SingleMindedTwins: Pig's nephews.
* TheSmartGuy: Frog.
** Except when his LargeHam qualities turn him into a KnowNothingKnowItAll.

* TailfinWalking: Shark.

* {{Action Girl}}: Sheep can be seen as this when she's playing sports, as seen in the episodes "There's An Ant In Every Giant" & "Play Ball"
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Either there are two main cats, one a blue Siamese cat and one a purple cat with a white muzzle, facial blaze, and white paws, or Cat changes color depending on her job in the episode. Also, why are Sheep's arms and legs purple? Pig's hooves . . . [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack they sure like purple in this show]].
* {{Berserk Button}}: Pig tends to get upset when his stuff is messed with, as Frog learned in the episode "Waterlogged".
* {{Big Eater}}: Pig.
* {{BigNo}}: Frog does this when Pig eats Dog's birthday cake in the episode "Happy Birthday, Dog".

* ChasteToons: Pig's three nephews
* ChristmasEpisode: "The Christmas Star / A Christmas Present for Dog"
* DeadpanSnarker: Duck

* TheEveryman: Sheep
* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Averted with shark.

* LivingProp: Cow

* ShapedLikeItself: Litteraly.
* {{Shorter Means Smarter}}: Ant is unsurprisingly the smallest of his friends, yet he is one of the smartest people in Word World, as said by Pig.
* SingleMindedTwins: Pig's nephews
* TheSmartGuy: Frog

* SteamNeverDies: The train is a large blue steam locomotive shaped like the word "TRAIN" that is for some reason fuelled by letters, couldn't decide whether it should have a 2-2-2 or a 4-2-0 wheel arrangement, and doesn't have anyone driving it.
* {{Tagline}}: "Where words come alive"
* TailfinWalking: Shark

* MinorInjuryOverreaction: In an episode in which Pig is sneezing, Sheep attempts to ''take him to the hospital.''
