| 13 | ''Odd Squad'' is a live-action kids' EdutainmentShow that airs in UsefulNotes/{{Syndication}} on various networks, two of the most prominent being Creator/PBSKids and TVO Kids. Created by Tim [=McKeon=] and Adam Peltzman, it premiered on November 26, 2014. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The show has four {{Rotating Protagonist}}s across two seasons, who are all agents that work for Odd Squad, an organization run exclusively by kids that investigates and fights anything strange, weird, and especially odd. Both seasons focus on Precinct 13579, which operates out of Toronto. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Characters include: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * '''Agent Olive''', a 12-year-old ShellShockedVeteran who is suffering from trauma of an unknown type due to an incident surrounding her former partner. As a result, she is a hardheaded, serious, and tightly-wound agent who prefers work over play. |
| 20 | * '''Agent Otto''', a 10-year-old {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Investigation agent and one of Precinct 13579's newest hires. Olive's partner, he serves as her LivingEmotionalCrutch and her best friend who is often a little airheaded but knows how to have fun where she does not. |
| 21 | * '''Agent Oscar''', Precinct 13579's resident [[GadgeteerGenius Lab Director]]. Klutzy and goofy he may be, but he is known as a legend within Odd Squad history for being the first agent in the Science department of the organization and for inventing the concept of combining gadgets to make entirely new ones. |
| 22 | * '''Oprah,''' more known by her title, '''[[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Ms. O]]'''. The almighty leader of Precinct 13579 who rules it with an iron fist, a hot temper, and [[TheAlcoholic a hell of a juice addiction that won't quit.]] |
| 23 | * '''Agent Olympia''', an 11-year-old GenkiGirl who is a fresh graduate of the Odd Squad Academy. She is a severe {{Workaholic}} whose greatest aspiration is making her co-workers happy. Which, of course, includes... |
| 24 | * '''Agent Otis''', Olympia's partner and another new hire to Precinct 13579. For someone who is introverted with [[MysteriousPast a bit more going on underneath the surface]], he has more of a level head about him and frequently keeps his partner in line. |
| 25 | * '''Agent Oona''', Oscar's apprentice and eventual successor who, while just as much of a silly kindhearted genius as her mentor, is also just [[CuteButPsycho a tad unhinged.]] |
| 26 | |
| 27 | The show has since branched out into a franchise, with merchandise and numerous other media. For information on those, check the [[Franchise/OddSquad Franchise page.]] |

| 33 | [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Don't confuse this with]] ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' episode of the same name, the children's book series by Michael Fry, or the former name of the hip-hop group Coughee Brothaz. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ---- |
| 36 | !!Tropes: |
| 37 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 38 | |
| 39 | [[folder:A to M]] |
| 40 | * TheEighties: When Oprah and O'Donahue were agents. One of the episodes showing their time is 80's themed, complete with the clothes, slang, and hair. |
| 41 | * AbnormalAmmo: For kid-friendliness. Egregiousness is tied between the teddybearification launcher and Baby Orson taking down Odd Todd with a barrage of ice cream. (Yes, ice cream can cause a technical K.O. in this universe.) |
| 42 | ** More EdibleAmmunition with Prof. Straw from Shmumberland, who shoots soup. Must not make SealedEvilInACan pun...too late. |
| 43 | * AbsentAnimalCompanion: Ms. O gets a dog named Whoops in the episode "Puppet Show". He helps out in that one episode, and never appears again. |
| 44 | * ActingUnnatural: In "The Breakfast Club", Delivery Debbie is asked to help Odd Squad track down the Breakfast Club. She is extremely nervous, and when asked by the Club how much the pizza is, she first says it's $1 and then $10,000,000. |
| 45 | * ActionDuo: Olive and Otto. Nearly all of the agents have a partner as well. |
| 46 | * AdultsAreUseless: While there are some adults who have been shown to be intelligent, a majority of them are portrayed as dimwitted, if not downright criminal. |
| 47 | * {{Aesop}}: Mathematics, as well as science beginning in the third season, are the primary lessons. However, not all the aesops are math-based. Case in point: when Olive is telling Otto about Todd's backstory, Otto asks her why she calls him partner, even in past tense, to her clear confusion; then he explains partners help each other, like he and Olive, while Todd just helped himself. That same story also had a subtler one; when Olive wasn't getting things as fast as Todd did, he would insult and belittle her, especially if she tried to question him. In contrast, while Olive gets annoyed with Otto when he delays their missions, she never belittles him and [[FriendshipMoment regularly and openly shows she cares for him]], having no problem with him contradicting her most of the time. |
| 48 | * AirVentPassageway: In "Oscar Strikes Back". If you had any doubts of Ms. O being a PintSizePowerhouse, she strikes out the bottom of the duct with her fists when she and Oscar get cornered by the brainwashed scientists. |
| 49 | * AllOrNothing: The offer to Olympia at the end of the villain game show "Villain Always Win". She is enthusiastic and decides to continue playing. Oona and Otis are not thrilled with her choice. |
| 50 | * AnachronismStew: What with dinosaurs, unicorns, the like and a futuristic headquarters. |
| 51 | * {{Animesque}}: Downplayed. The show does have a couple tropes that are commonly found in anime, such as {{Kaiju}} antagonists, [[MonsterOfTheWeek Villains of the Week]] (although the show does have an extensive RoguesGallery), agents [[CallingYourAttacks calling their attacks]], and even BossSubtitles in one episode. However, that's about it as far as the anime influences go. |
| 52 | * ArcNumber: 43. [[spoiler: It's the badge number of ex-agent Odd Todd.]] |
| 53 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler: The Shadow is being set up to be this for Season 3, ''Mobile Unit''. She is an EnfantTerrible who has an inexplicable grudge against Opal]]. |
| 54 | * ArgumentOfContradictions: Shown in "O is Not For Old" in which it's boys vs. girls in the fight for Ms. O's present. The two girls (Polly and Olive) want a bike; the three boys (Otto, Olaf and Oren) want a trampoline as a gift to give said boss. Thus leading to a fight where [[spoiler: the two girls are chanting "BIKE! BIKE! BIKE!" and the boys are chanting "Trampoline! Trampoline! Trampoline!" It takes Oscar's nonsensical noises just to shut them up.]] |
| 55 | * ArtisticLicenseStatistics: Oswald commits a textbook case of sampling bias in "Sample of New York" when asking 50 of 500 agents for their favorite food - all of them being babies. |
| 56 | * AthleticallyChallenged: In stark contrast to his partner Olive, Otto's skillset does not lie in sports. This is something he willingly points out to Oren in "Switch Your Partner Round and Round" when the agent is looking to insult him, and something that comes up as a plot point in "The O Games" during the eponymous event. About the only athletic thing Otto does well is dribbling a basketball. |
| 57 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: For odd values of "attack", in "Happily Ever Odd". Ronnie and Bonnie want to marry, but their best man Donnie goes through a number of transmogrification hijinks. By the end of the episode, they have to be content with the ''best'' best man Odd Squad could come up with in a short time: a large Donnie that towers over everyone and who is moved to tears by the wedding. |
| 58 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Justified in "And Then They Were Puppies": "We all need to stay focused!" This works about for one second, given that Odd Squad was turned into puppies. |
| 59 | * AwesomeButImpractical: [[ItMakesSenseInContext An agent using the van as part of a taxi service]] is annoyed about Omar and Opal squabbling about whether they are a taxi service or an elite team of agents and exits mid-air with a hang glider...only to learn that opening the wings ''in'' the crammed van (as opposed to outside, in the air) is somewhat counterproductive. She still manages to get out anyway. |
| 60 | * BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: There are quite a few in the show, including Agent Orson and Baby Genius. |
| 61 | * BabysittingEpisode: "Hold the Door", "Two Agents and a Baby", and "It's Not Easy Being Chill". |
| 62 | * BackForTheFinale: Larry and Phyllis were absent for about half the season, but they came back in the Season 1 finale. |
| 63 | * BadLuckCharm: "Show Me The Money". A nickel that shouldn't leave the lab was let loose when Otis and Olympia paid Delivery Debbie. As it is with money, it quickly circulated, causing havoc ([[ItMakesAsMuchSenseInContext and falcons]]) everywhere. |
| 64 | * BadassAdorable: The show's premise is an international agency of little kids in suits fighting evil. How is that NOT this trope? |
| 65 | * BadassBandolier: Otto wears a bandolier filled with [[EdibleAmmunition ice cream cones]] in "Undercover Olive". |
| 66 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Most of the agents wear suits as their uniforms. |
| 67 | * BagOfHolding: In "Odd Beginnings: Part 1", Arctic Mr. O gives Opal and Omar a "Bag O' Machines", saying that while said machines may not be helpful on a case, the bag is nice to hold stuff in. |
| 68 | * BaitAndSwitch: With the audience, about OncePerEpisode. Usually it's Ms. O going to rip off some poor agent's head...only that she doesn't. |
| 69 | ** Especially this gem: "Dr. O?" "Here!" "You're not in this story!" "Copy that." |
| 70 | * BananaPeel: Nana Banana is a villain with the ability to fire bananas out of her hands. The floor of her lair is littered with banana peels, which causes Agent Olympia and the Stitcher to slide crazily when they race in an attempt to grab the Stitcher's notebook in "Who is Agent Otis?". |
| 71 | * BatmanGambit: In "The Perfect Score", the agents are rated by the villains. One villain ruins Olympia's perfect "10" score by giving her just a "1" to lure her into his trap. She promptly calls him out on it, arguing that his brilliant plan could ''only'' work because she is such a great agent and is a {{Determinator}}. The [[TalkingIsAFreeAction idle talking]] buys her time to set her defenses against his superpower. |
| 72 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In one of the training videos, Opal demonstrates the 60-second power nap. WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong Well, it's ample time for Omar to inadvertently botch up usage of the microwave. He almost manages to tame the haywire machine...almost. |
| 73 | --> ''[Omar stands with a big dish of popcorn]'' |
| 74 | --> '''Opal''': Can I have some? |
| 75 | --> ''[cue popcorn falling from the ceiling]'' |
| 76 | * TheBGrade: [[spoiler: When Olympia receives the satisfaction reports from the villains she has stopped, she receives 10s from all but one. This so incenses her that she sets out to track down who gave her the one. It turns out that the villain actually thought she deserved a 10, but gave her a 1 to bait her into a trap.]] |
| 77 | * BigDamnHeroes: Agent Orson (despite being a baby) had helped Odd Squad out of jams several times. |
| 78 | * BigNo: |
| 79 | ** Olive gives one at the end of "Soundcheck" when Ms. O yells at her and Otto that playing "Gonna Add Four" added 4 of most things, and that they needed to play "Gonna Add Four" and "Take Away Four" at the same time, to which Ms. O yells [[NoIndoorVoice "REMIX!"]] and begins to dance with Otto. Olive crawls away from the scene. Also counts as a SkywardScream subversion. |
| 80 | ** Otto gave a cutoff one in "The Zero Effect" when the 0 was taken away from Polly's sign. |
| 81 | ** These keep repeating in "O is Not For Old" when Olaf kept insisting he wanted a potato to give to Ms. O as a present. |
| 82 | ** "Crime at Shapely Manor" had Otto issuing one when Lord Rectangle supposedly "destroyed" the cake by throwing it to the floor. Later turns into a BigYes moment. |
| 83 | * BinarySuns: At the end of "Soundcheck", Ms. O shows Otto and Olive a slideshow of what resulted from playing the song "Gonna Add Four". The first slide shows a sunset with ''five suns''. |
| 84 | * BirthdayEpisode: Orla has her 500th birthday in "Orla's Birthday." |
| 85 | ** Ms. O also has her birthday in "O is Not for Old", complete with SurpriseParty. |
| 86 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: President Obbs who only appeared in "Oscar Strikes Back". When the episode begin he gave the scientists pins (except Oscar and Oona), and started off as a friend of the hero. But then... he revealed how jealous he was of how little attention his department got, and revealed that the pins were mind-control devices, and got control of the agents, forcing them to help him take over Odd Squad, [[BadBoss just so he could get attention.]] |
| 87 | * {{Bookends}}: The first and last episodes of Season 1: |
| 88 | ** In the first episode, Olive casually says "Quiet day at the squad" in response to what looks like chaos in headquarters. In the last episode, she says the line again, this time in response to all the odd creatures that got unleashed when Otto mistakenly opened all the doors in headquarters. |
| 89 | ** Also in the first episode, Otto invites Olive to his tenth birthday party. In the last episode, Otto is bemoaning how he'll never see Ms. O and Oscar again; but he feels better when Oscar points out that everyone was invited to Otto's upcoming eleventh birthday party. |
| 90 | * BoundAndGagged: Polly Graph by a spider cat. |
| 91 | * BrandX: The Schmumber's line of products, developed from Ms. O's old friend Yucks Schmumbers[[note]]probably derived from "Numbers Schmumbers", making it a StealthPun[[/note]] graces everything in the show from juice boxes to magazines. |
| 92 | * BreadEggsBreadedEggs: In "Slides and Ladders", Oswald is walking through a hallway and points out the Cheese Room, the Cake Room, and the Cheesecake Room. |
| 93 | * BreakingOldTrends: |
| 94 | ** Season 3 deviates from the norm of focusing on two Investigation agents, an Odd Squad Director, and a Scientist, instead focusing on four agents who are collectively known as the Odd Squad Mobile Unit along with Oprah, who is the Big O. The second half of the season switches things up and replaces Opal with Osmerelda Kim and Oprah with Orpita, who is the Little O. |
| 95 | ** Season 4 focuses on an Odd Squad precinct in the United Kingdom. It has a core cast of seven characters, including two Investigation agents, a Security officer, a Scientist, an Odd Squad Director, a Food and Beverage worker, and an agent in an entirely new department, though the two Investigation agents, Orli and Ozzie, are the main characters. |
| 96 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Aside from Oscar and his Training Videos, Welcome to Headquarters Videos and Odd Reports, there have been a few cases of this trope throughout the show. Ms. O is a great example with her recruitment videos and website-promoting videos. |
| 97 | ** In "Blob on the Job", Olive does this twice and Otto once, both agents saying "no blob". |
| 98 | ** There have been times where the characters try to avoid breaking the fourth wall, as in "Agent Obfusco". |
| 99 | ** In "Switch Your Partner Round and Round", Olive does this multiple times. |
| 100 | ** This jewel: |
| 101 | --> '''Agent Oscar''': (throws himself into flashback stance) |
| 102 | --> {{Beat}} |
| 103 | --> '''Agent Olive''': Uh, I think your story's this way. |
| 104 | --> '''Agent Oscar''': Oh. Right. (start flashback) |
| 105 | ** It gets to epic proportions of meta in a recruitment video: |
| 106 | --> '''Oswald''': I joined because the fourth wall never should be broken. ''[he waves to the camera]'' Hi there, people watching this! |
| 107 | |
| 108 | * BucketBoobyTrap: In "Now You Don't See Me", Odd Todd rigs a bucket booby trap to one of his clues so it dumps invisible ink over Otto, turning him invisible. |
| 109 | * BuffySpeak: In "Two Agents And A Baby", Marty Marmalade is confused about the flying "carriage rocket thingie" the agents arrive on. (So are Olympia and Otis. Baby Genius always surprises.) |
| 110 | * TheButlerDidIt: [[spoiler: In Crime in Shapely Manor, when the butler, maid, and Miss Triangle turn out to be triplets and steal the cake.]] |
| 111 | * CallingYourAttacks: Agent Oksana shall give a distraction. "Distraction! Distraction!" "Get back here!" (Hey, it worked. Did you doubt it?) |
| 112 | ** Many agents have a tendency to call out the name of the gadget they conjure up from {{Hammerspace}} just before they fire it. |
| 113 | ** Some villains. such as the Sticky Sisters, tend to do this as well. |
| 114 | * {{Calvinball}}: "Villains Always Win", technically, has only one rule: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Villains Always Win.]] But to ensure that, a whole load of rules are made up on the spot so that Olympia doesn't end up winning. |
| 115 | * CameraAbuse: In "Training Day", the pie-nado starts spattering the edges of the field of view with meringue as Olive gets closer to its source. |
| 116 | * CarMeetsHouse: Otto and Oscar come to Olive's rescue by driving an ice cream van through the wall of a warehouse in "Undercover Olive". |
| 117 | * CatchPhrase: Almost everyone has at least one. Some examples include: |
| 118 | ** Olive says, "Let's go!" |
| 119 | ** Oscar saying "Hey guys!" |
| 120 | ** Oona saying "Howdy-do!" |
| 121 | ** Ms. O gets three. "Olive, Otto, in my office, now!" Or... "Well, what are you waiting for?! Go!" Or... "Something very odd has happened." |
| 122 | ** Dr. O's "What's next!" and "I'm a doctor!" |
| 123 | ** Olaf: "POTATO!" |
| 124 | * ChainsawGood: The Oscarbots who did a massacre on innocent oranges. (But think of the alternative, Ms. O not getting her juice box...) |
| 125 | * CharacterBlog: Olympia has a 20-episode Website/{{YouTube}} series called ''WebVideo/{{OddTube}}''. Hosting duties are passed to Orla for 12 more episodes. |
| 126 | * ChekhovsBoomerang: In "Happy Halfiversary", Otis never even unpacked his DoorStopper-ish Odd Squad manual. Thus he is in deep emotional trouble when he finds Olympia sent him a Halfiversary gift, and he has none. Even worse, after he nearly gets zapped by Mr. Lightning to get his autograph as a present, that wasn't the only anniversary tradition he flunked, and he has to fetch an Odd Squad badge while risking his life. RuleOfThree does him in, and he's out of ideas. When the great gift showdown comes, he ruefully takes out his manual to explain, but before he can eloquently excuse himself...[[spoiler: "A mint-condition Agents' Manual, still in its shrink wrap?! This is the best Happy Half-iversary, 31st-iversary, Friday Felebration EVER!"]] |
| 127 | * ChekhovsGag: In "Three's Company". Ms. O must temporarily leave her office, causing Oona to have a nervous breakdown (specifically, she loses her grip on gadgets, causing them to fall and break). This incidentally helps to solve the last malfunction in the office. |
| 128 | * ChekhovsGun: Plenty in various episodes, but one of the most notable is the wedge from Omar's Bag-O-Machines in "Odd Beginnings", which is always pulled out first and is of no use...until the GrandFinale of the episode. |
| 129 | * ChekhovsSkill: Otto, many times. E.g. when his mastership of paper flyer folding helps to catch the villain of the week. |
| 130 | * ChildrensCovertCoterie: The show focuses on the eponymous organization, whose agents are all children and fight oddities using gadgets and mathematics. Standing in their way is a RoguesGallery of odd villains who love to cause oddness by any means possible, ranging from a MusicalAssassin to an ImprobableWeaponUser who uses jam as a weapon. The organization has been around during the cavemen times and is very high-tech. |
| 131 | * ChristmasEpisode: "Reindeer Games". |
| 132 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: An odd example concerning the Math Room, which is both a room and a character. As of Season 2, the Math Room no longer appears, and the agents consult snazzy smartwatches instead. |
| 133 | * ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: |
| 134 | ** The Nice-inator (a rude person desperately wanted to be nice, called Odd Squad, and got a treatment with this). Otis decidedly did not tell him it was just a flashlight. |
| 135 | ** In "Orla's Birthday". Opal is constantly making up villains who "stole" the van (in reality, Omar and Oswald take it to Chicago to collect birthday surprises for the eponymous agent) in order to distract Orla. Said villains turn out to be real people who are more than happy to help keep Orla's surprise birthday party a secret. |
| 136 | --> '''Opal:''' ''How'' are all these people ''real?!'' |
| 137 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Potato. I mean, Olaf. Has a moment of TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight in the voting episode: "Bicycle" and "Trampoline" are tied as birthday present for Ms. O, and it needs short before physical violence to make Olaf change from "Potato" to break the tie. Of course it turns out Ms. O would have liked the potato best... |
| 138 | * ClothFu: Oscar takes down a group of mind-controlled Scientists with his labcoats in "Oscar Strikes Back". |
| 139 | --> '''Ms. O:''' ''[holding an ever-increasing heap of lab coats]'' How many labcoats do you wear? |
| 140 | --> '''Oscar''': Seventeen. I get chilly easily. |
| 141 | * {{Clownification}}: Clown-itosis is a disease where the victim slowly turns into a clown and runs away to join the circus. The episode "Into the Odd Woods" focuses on Omar contracting the disease after hitching a ride from a group of clowns, with Orla keeping an eye on him while Opal and Oswald go to the titular Odd Woods to gather ingredients to make a cure. |
| 142 | * CobwebOfDisuse: In "Haunt Squad", fittingly. Only a few minutes after the whole Maintenance team ran away screaming. Knowing the HQ bestiary, spiders working overtime are not that surprising. |
| 143 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each department is represented by a color: yellow for Maintenance, green for Science, teal for Medical, blue for Security, red for Investigation, and purple for Management. These colors reflect on [[ColorCodedCastes characters' uniforms]] as well (Investigation agents having red ties, Management having purple shirts, etc.). |
| 144 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: |
| 145 | --> ''[Olive produces a pineapple from {{Hammerspace}} for a weighing problem]'' |
| 146 | --> '''Otto''': ''[flabbergasted]'' Where did you get that thing from? |
| 147 | --> '''Olive''': Hawaii. |
| 148 | ** In the episode "Behind Enemy Mimes", Ms. O, while on a mission with Olympia and Otis, says that O'Donahue likes his orange juice hot, his eggs raw, and he always leaves a clue behind. This is what Olympia has to say: |
| 149 | --->'''Olympia''': His breakfast sounds ''awful!'' |
| 150 | * CompanyCrossReferences: Has happened twice in the series. |
| 151 | ** In "The Void", one of the things Omar learns in order to be similar to Opal, Orla and Oswald is how to speak Spanish. He does this by watching a short clip of Mac and Sammy communicating in Spanish from ''Playdate,'' which is produced by Sinking Ship Entertainment. Doubles as an ActorAllusion subversion, as Millie Davis played Molly in that show, but does not appear in "The Void." |
| 152 | ** "Slow Your Roll" has Opal, Omar and Orla come face-to-face with a creature known as a Madmelodia, which looks strikingly similar to the alien creature seen in ''Endlings,'' a show also produced by Sinking Ship Entertainment. This is yet another ActorAllusion subversion similar to above -- Michela Luci, who plays Orchid, also plays Tabby; however, she does not appear in the episode. |
| 153 | * ConfrontingYourImposter: In "Flawed Squad", Shapeshifter changes into Agent Olympia in an attempt to throw off the Odd Squad agents who waiting outside the craft room door for the villains. When she opens the door, she finds herself facing Agents Otis and Olympia. She angrily asks why she had to turn into Olympia of all agents. |
| 154 | * ContinuityNod: |
| 155 | ** The episode "The Trouble With Centigurps" seems to get a few of these, most notably in "Worst First Day Ever". |
| 156 | ** "Switch Your Partner Round and Round" has one to "Blob on the Job". Not surprisingly, when "Odd Squad: Against the Odds" was airing, these two episodes were paired together and shown back-to-back. |
| 157 | * ConvictionByCounterfactualClue: "The Deposit Slip-Up". By long Odd Squad must have learned now that 8 is not the only symmetrical number; 3 is also symmetrical. Their plan to trick Symmetric Al nearly folded on this detail. |
| 158 | * CoolCar: The Mobile Unit Van from Season 3. The fact that it's BiggerOnTheInside is just one thing. |
| 159 | * CopsAndDetectives: More detectives than cops, but the kids' appearances hint this trope. |
| 160 | * CorrelationImpliesCausation: Done in "Who is Agent Otis", by both parties of the big trial. |
| 161 | * CouchGag: During the slideshow part of the intro, after the slide with just the first agent's partner (Otto, Otis, and Orla, Omar and Oswald), there is a slide of a random object, with the first agent (Olive, Olympia, and Opal) describing what it is. |
| 162 | * CourtroomEpisode: "Disorder in the Court" and "Odds and Ends": Olive and Otis are tried, respectively. |
| 163 | * CoverVersion: In-universe. Of course, for a two dollar budget you don't get "Soundcheck". Only their cover band "Soundcheck-ish". And since due to unforeseen NoodleImplements complications the budget had to be cut into half, they had to hire Soundcheck-ish's EvilTwin (evil as in their talent). |
| 164 | * CoveredInGunge: |
| 165 | ** One of the promotional commercials has a woman being consistently covered in blob. |
| 166 | ** The slime fight -- training for fighting the dragon in the Potato Room -- in "Where There's a Wolf, There's a Way" counts too. |
| 167 | ** "It Takes Goo To Make A Feud Go Right", naturally. |
| 168 | * CrazyPrepared: In "Wax On Wax Odd", Orla overhears two villains chatting about how they will cause oddness 450 years from that day. She notes it in her calendar, and 450 years later, she invokes ChekhovsSkill by teaching her teammates a few mundane-sounding tricks that prove to be helpful in defeating oddness. |
| 169 | * CrazyWorkplace: The titular organization is full of oddities that range from balls of fluffy creatures that multiply when exposed to light, to floating people, to ''glowing'' people, and lots more. In spite of it fighting oddness, however, it is ostensibly odd itself -- episodes feature threats such as a popcorn flood, tornadoes made out of pies, and characters gaining lemon and pickle heads, among a slew of other things. |
| 170 | * CrowdPanic: Played straight, but also parodied - panic shmanic, the customer won't leave without his hotdog at the stand. And sauce. And a serviette. [[OverlyLongGag And...And...]] |
| 171 | * CuteAndPsycho: Some of the cast can be a little off their rockers at times, such as Oona and Orchid. (''Especially'' Oona. [[TakeOurWordForIt Don't say we didn't warn you.]]) |
| 172 | * CuteButCacophonic: The agents sometimes get very loud, and hearing all of them shout at the same time can be very harsh on the ears, especially the girls who can sometimes get ''very'' high-pitched. An InUniverse example would be Oona while in a fly's body, which pitches her voice up to near ''Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' levels. |
| 173 | * DeceptivelyCuteCritter: Centigurps are cute fuzzy spherical creatures that lure curious agents into freeing them from their confinements and allowing them to multiply rapidly by exposing them to light. From there, they gravitate to objects in the shape of spheres. About the only thing that makes them not so cute are their disturbingly human-like eyes, which are hidden under their fur. |
| 174 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome: Because the color setting button of reality was set on black and white, as Otis quickly observed. |
| 175 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Teaming up with Teamwork Together as a Team", a series of agent interviews across all three seasons. |
| 176 | ** There's also "Teams working with teams together as a team together" that concludes every agent interview. |
| 177 | * DesperateObjectCatch: In "Disorder in the Court", Odd Todd throws a shrunken building to distract the agents while he and Shapeshifter make their escape. Olive catches it an inch from the floor in a DivingSave. |
| 178 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Olympia turning into a cake in "Extreme Cakeover", which prompted Otis to let out a {{Big No}} before the helmet, which she was carrying at the time and which fell on her, activated, and she turned back into a human.]] |
| 179 | * DistantFinale: Played with in "Total Zeroes" when a still-young Ms. O tells the elderly Olympia and Otis how the story of the Zero siblings ended; it's not the season or show finale. |
| 180 | * DramaticDrop: Happens RuleOfThree style when Odd Todd returns. Olive and Otto tell Ms. O, who drops her juice box. Oscar comes in carrying a box of marbles, which he drops when Ms. O tells him Odd Todd is back. Oscar is ordered to tell the other agents that Odd Todd is back, prompting shocked gasps and a wide array of noises accompanying the items various agents were carrying when Oscar yelled the news being dropped. The foursome in the office wince throughout. |
| 181 | * DrosteImage: The seal of Odd Squad. |
| 182 | * EasilyForgiven: For mind-controlling the Odd Squad scientists and attempting to take over the world, Obbs is thrown out of Odd Squad. And gets the suggestion to join Odd Todd's gardening program. Resocialization is surprisingly SeriousBusiness in the Oddverse! |
| 183 | * EdibleAmmunition: In "Undercover Olive", Olive, Otto and Oscar attack the assembled villains by flinging ice cream at them. Otto is wearing a BadassBandolier of ice cream cones. |
| 184 | * EccentricAI: Oscar's Oscarbots are just as eccentric and ditzy as their creator, right down to copying said creator's physical tics and mannerisms due to being RidiculouslyHumanRobots. In "No Ifs, Ands, or Robots", Oscar's repair on an Oscarbot goes awry when Orchid ends up scaring Oscar, causing the Oscarbot to become corrupted so it shoots a beam at a gadget to turn it into a juice box, and the rest of the episode is spent trying to stop it from turning people and objects into juice boxes. Within its defectiveness, it follows a specific pattern of going by tens, meaning that whatever it attacks has a number ending in 0 on it (10, 20, 30, etc.). |
| 185 | * EdutainmentShow: Natch -- it's a Creator/PBSKids show after all. |
| 186 | * EmergingFromTheShadows: Baby Genius and Rivka often do this, combined with StealthHiBye. |
| 187 | * EmotionlessGirl: Oksana, Precinct 13579's chief cook. She has a CreepyMonotone as well. |
| 188 | * EnemyMime: "Behind Enemy Mimes" features mimes as villains who despise being referred to as clowns. |
| 189 | * EnemyMine: In "Villains in Need are Villains in Deed", the agents team up with Jamie Jam, Mr. Lightning, and Noisemaker to stop an evil robot from destroying the city [[spoiler: and the villains' secret evil headquarters]]. |
| 190 | * EnfantTerrible: In a universe were odd-causing adults cause chaos to the world, these kids prove to be worse than all of them combined. A general rule of thumb is that if a villain is a kid, they'll have a personal connection to Odd Squad. |
| 191 | ** [[spoiler: Odd Todd turned into a villain in "Training Day" when he got bored of being an InvincibleHero and thought the city could use more oddness.]] |
| 192 | ** [[spoiler: President Obbs turned out to be another one in "Oscar Strikes Back" when he got tired of never getting credit for the agents' work, and tried taking over all Odd Squads just to get attention.]] |
| 193 | ** [[spoiler: The father of them all has '''got''' to be Ohlm, who wanted to gain the role of the Big O, and enviously tried to '''destroy the universe''' [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse just because he didn't get the role in the squad he wanted]].]] |
| 194 | ** [[spoiler: The Shadow is definitely shaping up to be one. It's not revealed how she turned to villainy as of yet, but she has a vendetta against Opal and is a tech genius, able to hack, reprogram, and control the Odd Squad Mobile Unit's van. Her assistant, Brutus, also has moments of intelligence [[VileVillainLaughableLackey despite being mostly idiotic]].]] |
| 195 | * EntertaininglyWrong: In "The Sandwich Project", the Mobile Unit has been zapped into sandwiches, and in order to turn them back to normal, the Big O and the other agents need to know who is who (the easy part) and the order they were zapped in. If the Big O hadn't been so alert, Odd Squad would have forgotten an essential clue: [[spoiler: Just because Omar filmed the whole stuff with the camera on his helmet, it doesn't mean he was zapped last. He was zapped third, and Opal then picked up the camera.]] |
| 196 | * EpisodeTitleCard: The trademark manila folder with the episode name and with Ms. O reading it. Earlier episodes had the writer(s) and director on the title card before showing them on the bottom right when the episode began (or in the case of Season 3, the bottom left). |
| 197 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Subverted in "First Day", there is a dentist whose name is literally "Dentist." Double subverted, there's also a woman whose name is Marie, but she says she pronounces it as "Crossing Guard." |
| 198 | * EverythingIsAnInstrument: In "Music of Sound", Orla, who is disguised as the "studio manager" of the Villain People, constantly sabotages their equipment, but they always find new stuff in the studio to use instead (like trashcans). |
| 199 | * EvilLaugh: Xena and Xavier have one. The CreepyMonotone definitely doesn't make it better. |
| 200 | ** Odd Todd has a notable one as well. |
| 201 | * EvilTwin: The ColdOpen clients have this problem in "And Then They Were Puppies". |
| 202 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The "Total Zeroes" siblings. Brother Zero is not very happy being an ultra low-class villain and thinks of opening a flower shop instead...called "The Flower Shop". |
| 203 | * ExactWords: |
| 204 | ** Party Pam - "Eat my food, and I'll make you a balloon!" Probably the food produced too many gases... |
| 205 | ** And then we have "Behind Enemy Mimes". The room where the mimes plan their evil scheme is tracked down. Olympia and Otis, knowing Ms. O's penchant for [[DynamicEntry forceful entry,]] remind her that she could simply use the door handle. Which she does - [[OpenSaysMe by boxing a giant hole into the door and opening the door from the inside.]][[ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption Given this was a hotel room, possibly locked, and they had to]] RaceAgainstTheClock to stop the weapon from being activated, her sense for drama was clearly the correct decision. |
| 206 | ** As by a friendly agreement of Odd Squad and their villains, Odd Squad may ask a caught villain exactly "20 Questions" that he has to answer truthfully. [[LoopholeAbuse However, he's allowed to also tally questions that are clearly rhetorical or blatantly stupid, and happy to answer those.]] |
| 207 | * ExtraLongEpisode: Most episodes are about 11 minutes, but some episodes, especially those important to the story arc, like "Training Day" or "O is Not for Over," are double the length. |
| 208 | * ExtendedDisarming: In "Failure to Lunch", Olympia hands over all of her gadgets when to the restaurant owner when she goes out to lunch to show she is off-duty. Later, the owner and his brother have to search through a huge stack of gadgets in the cloak room in search of something to undo the oddness in the kitchen. |
| 209 | * ExtremeOmnigoat: Randall from "O is for Opposite is a minor example. He happily chews away on Delivery Doug's clothing. (And lays eggs. Somehow.) |
| 210 | * FaceYourFears: [[FishOutOfWater Orla]] is afraid of TubeTravel (which is somewhat justified, as the prospect is too "modern" for her), but quickly gets the hang of it after she overcomes her fears. |
| 211 | * FactionMotto: "E Weirdibus Bizarreum, Strangeus Non Normalur". |
| 212 | * FakeOutFadeOut: In "Put Me in Coach" it seemed like the episode ended when Orielle and Oriele "won" the competition for who got to take the case... only for Coach O to say they won the round, not the contest, and that it was a 2 out of 3 competition. He puts them in the penalty box for jumping to conclusions and partying early. |
| 213 | * FakeStatic: |
| 214 | ** Ms. O invokes this in "Trials and Tubulations" in order to cut the conversation short with Olive and Otto regarding Sector 21. |
| 215 | ** In "Running on Empty", Opal pulls this on the Big O, of all people. And it actually works. |
| 216 | * {{Fangirl}}: Olive does this in "Bad Luck Bears", as well as...well, any time she interacts with the Bears. |
| 217 | ** She also does this in "O is Not for Over" [[spoiler:shortly after getting promoted to Ms. O.]] |
| 218 | * FantasticCasteSystem: Downplayed but still present in some episodes. The organization has a hierarchy in place comprising of at least 60 departments. Of those 60 departments, only seven are prominently featured in the series: Management, Investigation, Security, Medical, Science, Transportation/Maintenance, and Mobile Unit. The sides that each department's symbol has determines their rank in the hierarchy, and the more sides a symbol has, the higher the rank. The show doesn't explore the hierarchy in depth, but episodes like "There Might Be Dragons" and "Dr. O No" carry some implications of it. What department an agent is in also reflects in their uniforms as well based on the color of the department's symbol (Ms. O wears a purple undershirt and purple necklace, Dr. O wears a teal labcoat, etc.). |
| 219 | * FearInducedIdiocy: During the Ring Toss section of the O Games, Otto begins to panic because he doesn't want to get hit by a robot princess. Not wanting to be disqualified, he goes from playing defense throughout the entire game to throwing all ten of his rings backwards in the hopes that he'll score some points. He quickly realizes that wasn't the best course of action and rushes to catch his rings before they can be stolen, but manages to get all ten rings around one robot princess, score 100 points, and be the first contestant to qualify for the final round anyway. |
| 220 | * FearsomeCrittersOfAmericanFolklore: The badge of Odd Squad features a jackalope. |
| 221 | * FeelingTheirAge: Orla. "You should have seen me when I was 300 years old!" |
| 222 | * FlashbackCut: Used heavily in episodes such as "The Perfect Lunch" and "Orla's Birthday". The latter episode has Omar, having enough of Oswald's flashbacks, cutting one short, with accompanying visual and audio effects. |
| 223 | ** Numerous ones occur in "Slow Your Roll". All of them are justified because the hacked van is steering into certain doom, and with it, the Mobile Unit themselves. |
| 224 | * FlyingBooks: The librarians, Oren, and Olaf fight a pack of them in "Dawn of the Read." |
| 225 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: [[Foreshadowing/OddSquad Has its own page.]] |
| 226 | * FourthWallPsych: In "Good Egg, Bad Egg," the agents are in a possibly dangerous position. Olympia says something along the lines of "We'll be safe, right? I mean, there's so much left in the season." Ms. O is confused until Olympia clarifies she meant one of the four seasons. |
| 227 | * FreeRangeChildren: Albeit an unusual sort, considering they're children who work jobs like adults do. |
| 228 | * FreudianExcuse: Why does Fladam hate cubes? Because he stepped on one as a child. |
| 229 | * FriendshipMoment: Quite a lot of them, actually, considering friendship is one of the show's [[CentralTheme Central Themes.]] |
| 230 | * FriendshipHatingAntagonist: Many villains in the franchise despise friendship and teamwork, both of which are Odd Squad's modus operandis. [[EnfantTerrible Odd Todd]] is a stellar example -- whereas Otto is a kind and caring partner and friend to Olive who serves as her LivingEmotionalCrutch, Odd Todd is the polar opposite, being cruel, being abusive, and flexing his superiority over Olive any chance he gets. |
| 231 | * GadgeteerGenius: This is the purpose of the Science department, to make gadgets. |
| 232 | * GentleGiant: Logan the Ogre, who manages to double-subvert this trope in his first appearance. |
| 233 | * GiantBoardGame: In "Swamps 'n Gators", Bradley invents a machine that teleports people into board games. When he uses it on Olive and Otto for the eponymous game and makes them the game pieces, the board becomes gigantic from their perspective, and they are magically forced to move around it via die rolls and cards in order to get out. |
| 234 | * GiveMeASword: Ms. O says a variant of this to O'Malley in the Season 1 finale. |
| 235 | * GradeSchoolCEO: Ms. O herself is the all-knowing ''example'' of this. |
| 236 | ** Grade school employees are the entire ''base'' of the Odd Squad. It doesn't help that Ms. O was once an Odd Squad agent herself, and a fruit stand vendor before that. |
| 237 | * GroupHug: |
| 238 | ** Olive, Otto, Oscar and Ms. O have one at the end of "O is Not for Over". |
| 239 | ** Otis, Olympia, Oona, and Ms. O also have one at the end of "Odds and Ends". |
| 240 | * GroundhogDayLoop: |
| 241 | ** "Drop Gadget Repeat" has Oona stuck in a time loop of only a few minutes. She ends up bringing Otis and Olympia into the loop as well, which forces them to figure out how to get out of it in time before it restarts. |
| 242 | ** Also "6.00 to 6.05", where Olive and Otto undo the Big Dino Breakout. |
| 243 | * GrowingWings: At the end "Where There's a Wolf, There's a Way", Werewolf Olaf suddenly grows wings for no reason at all. |
| 244 | * GrubTub: As Oscar explains in one "Welcome to Odd Squad" video, Precinct 13579 has quite a few swimming pools filled with substances other than water, including one that is filled with ice cream. |
| 245 | * HadTheSillyThingInReverse: In "Flawed Squad", Shapeshifter grabs Father Time's staff and attempts to use it to freeze Odd Squad. Father Time points out that she is holding it the wrong way 'round just before she activates it and freezes all of the villains. |
| 246 | * {{Hammerspace}}: Odd Squad agents can access a variety of odd situation-specific gadgets simply by reaching behind their backs. It's shown to be an ability that is taught to agents, which takes time to master. |
| 247 | * HarmlessVillain: Played straight with some (like Noisemaker) and averted with others (like Fladam). Occasionally their gadgets have harmful side-effects, but Oscar is well equipped for that. They even work together with Odd Squad sometimes to clear their (silly) names. |
| 248 | * AHeadAtEachEnd: The designer of Odd Squad's swimming pool was apparently an example, according to Oscar's discourse on symmetry. A drawing of the architect shows him with two torsos attached end to end. |
| 249 | * HehHehYouSaidX: A kid-friendly variant is used when Dr. O gets the Sillies; overlaps with WhatsAHenway. |
| 250 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Todd became a villain when he saw flaws in how Odd Squad was run, and by Season 2, he became a gardener on the side of good. However, in "Mid-Day in the Garden of Good and Odd", [[ReformedButNotTamed he is forced to fight the urge to go back to villainy when he holds a gadget in his hands.]] Otis is able to help him turn back to his normal, reformed self, and by "Odds and Ends", he makes strides in his reformation. |
| 251 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Otis used to be a villain, but after his duck brothers tried to destroy the world, he ran away and joined Odd Squad]]. |
| 252 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Ms. O in "Hands On A Desk Chair". |
| 253 | * HerosEvilPredecessor: Otto's predecessor [[spoiler: Odd Todd]] is the main villain of Season 1. |
| 254 | * HeroicBSOD: Otto goes through a brief 2-second one in "Zero Effect" when he realizes that if he and Olive are unable to restore the missing zeroes, he will turn 1 instead of 10 years old the next day. Olive is eventually able to calm him down. |
| 255 | ** Olive also goes through a brief one in "Agent Obfusco". On the contrary, Otto is the one that calms her down. |
| 256 | ** Olympia in "Olympia's Day", though it's more of her hallucinating than having a BSOD. (It's actually a common occurrence known as [[SanitySlippage "slipping into mathness"]].) |
| 257 | * HeyThatsMyLine: In "There is no O in O-Bot", Ms. O says this when Xena steals her "well, what are you waiting for" line. |
| 258 | * HiccupHijinks: The pilot episode "Zero Effect" starts with Olive and Otto helping out a woman who has exploding hiccups, where something breaks every time she hiccups. They give her a cure, and report back to headquarters, but she hiccups before drinking the cure, breaking the cup with the cure among other things. |
| 259 | * HighlyVisibleNinja: "The Ninja Situation", naturally. Even worse (for the ninja) is that he is a show-off; when he sees a log on a stand he ''has'' to chop it, giving Otis the time to set up his [[ImpersonationGambit impersonation of him.]] |
| 260 | * HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: |
| 261 | ** On the show "Villains Always Win", when Game Show Gary addresses the [[StudioAudience studio audience]] consisting of a single person. Said person happens to be named "Studio Audience". |
| 262 | ** In "First Day", Olympia and Otis have to rescue Hopkins, a dentist and a crossing guard who have mysteriously started floating. Olympia and Otis keep referring to all of them by their occupation (including Hopkins, who is referred to as "Businessman"), leading to this exchange: |
| 263 | -->'''Hopkins:''' Does it bother anyone that they haven't asked us our names? |
| 264 | --> '''Dentist:''' My name is "Dentist", so...I'm good. |
| 265 | --> '''Crossing Guard:''' I'm Marie, but I pronounce it "Crossing Guard". |
| 266 | * IfIHadANickel: It's subverted in "No Ifs, Ands, or Robots". |
| 267 | -->'''Orchid:''' If I had a nickel every time someone said that, I would have...no nickels. |
| 268 | * IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: |
| 269 | ** The villains of the Breakfast Club. |
| 270 | ** The Shadow's assistant, Brutus, does this at one point in "Slow Your Roll". |
| 271 | * ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: Dr. O has done this at least a couple times. |
| 272 | -->'''Dr. O:''' I'm a doctor, Ms. O! Not a party planner! |
| 273 | -->'''Dr. O:''' I'm a doctor, not a babysitter. |
| 274 | * ImAHumanitarian: Subverted. In "The Sandwich Project", [[PunnyName Shelly Catessan,]] a villainess, turns the Mobile Unit into sandwiches. They are taken to the van and remain there until the case is solved. An especially insensitive agent helping the Big O eats a sandwich that is initially believed to be one of the OSMU agents, sending everyone into a panic. It's then revealed that he's eating a sandwich he brought from home, spurring the Big O to make a new rule: no eating sandwiches until the case is solved. |
| 275 | * ImpersonationGambit: Odd Squad fakes ''a whole town'' to trick Symmetric Al, who stole Ms. O's jetpack. They also have Delivery Doug impersonate the vault's security guard. |
| 276 | * ImprobableFoodBudget: Oksana requests expensive items (such as gold bars) to make food for the Squad. It turns out to be justified. |
| 277 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Ms. O sometimes needs a freaking ''juice box''. |
| 278 | * InAWorld: The [[TagLine tagline]] for "Odd Squad Saves the World": "In a world gone strange". |
| 279 | * TheInfiltration: Oswald and Orla go to [[AcademyOfEvil Villain University]] to find out more about Mr. Unpredictable. While Orla is able to pull it off well, Oswald nearly exposes the pair to numerous aspiring villain students -- and eventually does, when his badge phone goes off during class. |
| 280 | * InstantlyProvenWrong: |
| 281 | ** In "Dr. O: Party Time, Excellent": "I ''absolutely'' can bake my own cake!" Cue SmashCut. Well, at least it was a recognizable attempt. |
| 282 | ** In "Shapely University": The precinct boundary goes exactly through it, and thus [[JurisdictionFriction two Odd Squad teams were sent.]] "I'm sure [our bosses] will sort this out in a reasonable and civilized manner." Cue phone to superiors and the two Directors squabbling like little kids. |
| 283 | ** In Opal's interview video, there's this gem: |
| 284 | -->'''Opal''': [[{{Catchphrase}} We're an elite team of agents!]] ''[[[BreakingTheFourthWall whispering to the viewer]]]'' But it's not like I would ever say that out loud to people. |
| 285 | --> ''[cue ClipShow montage comprised of her saying just that]'' |
| 286 | * IncrediblyLamePun: Otto, as expected, gives one in "Crime at Shapely Manor". Olive manages to one-up him with a pun of her own by the end of the episode. |
| 287 | * IncredibleShrinkingMan: Otto, who ate a Shrinking Potato. (Hey, Olaf marked it with "O". Your problem.) By RuleOfFunny, you already can guess what happens when the effect is undone [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever (ahem)]] with a Growing Potato. |
| 288 | * InsistentTerminology: |
| 289 | ** The Eggmobile, insofar it's a RunningGag that all characters complain that it's just a normal car and neither egg-shaped nor egg-colored. (It's just the owner selling egg sandwiches.) |
| 290 | ** As per a RunningGag in "Two Agents and a Baby", marmalade is ''not'' jam. Marty Marmalade gets very miffed if one confuses that. |
| 291 | * InternalAffairs: The X's. If what we saw of them is a fair statistical sample, the Big O should seriously consider [[WhoWatchesTheWatchmen internal-affairing]] ''[[WhoWatchesTheWatchmen them.]]'' |
| 292 | * InterruptedByTheEnd: In "Running On Empty", Opal starts her great speech about OSMU and how it's an elite team of agents who fight oddness, just to get repeatedly cut off for some reason or another. When she tries to do it again at the end of the episode, a SmashCut ensues that ends the episode. |
| 293 | --> '''Opal:''' ''Seriously?!'' |
| 294 | * {{Invisibility}}: In "Now You Don't See Me", Odd Todd uses invisible ink to all of Odd Squad, except for Olive and Otto (who were out of HQ at the time), invisible. Olive and Otto have to track down Todd and take back the Re-visible-inator gadget he stole, which is the only way to reverse the effect. |
| 295 | * InvisibleParents: [[EnforcedTrope Enforced]] by Tim [=McKeon=] and Adam Peltzman, the show's creators, who have stated that not showing characters' lives outside of work is a deliberate choice done to keep up the theme of equality (since what families a character has can determine their financial status, etc.) However, this policy has since been tossed thanks to "Odds and Ends", where [[spoiler: Agent Ohlm]] hopefully is GroundedForever at the behest of his parents. |
| 296 | * IsThereADoctorInTheHouse: There is a song about Doctor O that features this line. |
| 297 | --> ''Is there a doctor in the house? Call Doctor O! And she's a specialist in everything that you don't know!'' |
| 298 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: |
| 299 | ** Agent Olive. Despite being cynical at times, she cares for her friends and her co-workers. |
| 300 | ** Ms. O as well, which is most prominent in Seasons 2 and 3. |
| 301 | * JinxGame: The episode "Jinx" involves Olive and Otto contracting the titular disease, which causes them to speak at the same time. It soon spreads throughout the precinct, with the only characters immune being Oscar (who had contracted it before and gained immunity) and Dr. O, who must find the villain Jimmy Jinx and retrieve his Jinx Cube to cure everyone. |
| 302 | * JokersLoveJunkFood: Otto, known to be a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, has quite an appetite as well as a sweet tooth for donuts in particular. "Oscar and the Oscarbots" has him being upset about being dragged away from the Donut Room by a frantic Oscar (and him getting excited about the Cake Room when he's informed of its existence), while "Hold the Door" has him wanting to take Ori to the Donut Room instead of the Lab with the counterargument that "donuts are a good foundation for life!" |
| 303 | * KidDetective: The entire ''cast'' of the show, save the people who need help. |
| 304 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Take a guess which departments wear these. (Science and Medical) |
| 305 | * LampshadeHanging: In "Now You Don't See Me", the invisible ski coach (ItMakesSenseInContext) asks Olive and Otto: |
| 306 | --> "Have you guys ever noticed you do a lot of math?" |
| 307 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Served with a dash of {{Irony}} to Halfsie Harriet. She stole Ms. O's voice because her usual voice is very high-pitched and people don't take her seriously with it. At the end she's at least nice enough to help sort out the mayhem in HQ (many things are voice-activated), but that doesn't avert the punishment fitting the crime: Oona gives her a new voice...which happens to be a female squirrel voice. |
| 308 | * LaughablyEvil: Let's face it, some of the villains on the show are more comical than evil. |
| 309 | * LaughTrack: In-universe. The weekly oddness victim suffers from canned laughter accompanying everything he says - even if not remotely funny. Odd Squad's solution is [[SarcasmMode brilliant as always.]] [[spoiler: Headphones.]] |
| 310 | * LeaderWannabe: Orzack, to the annoyance of Ms. O. He calls himself a Mr. O and tries to take command of her office. No one takes him seriously. |
| 311 | ** Downplayed for Agent Olive. While it's very subtle (up until it's outright stated in "Disorder in the Court"), her primary desire is to be an Odd Squad Director in the same vein as Ms. O, but she doesn't actively try to take over her position in any manner. She gets her wish temporarily in "The O Games", [[spoiler:and permanently in "O is Not for Over".]] |
| 312 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The show is no stranger to being meta, but this moment from "The Ninja Situation" speaks for itself. |
| 313 | -->''Olympia'': If Sheila could see me now! |
| 314 | -->''Oona'': I don't think we're doing that anymore. |
| 315 | * LeeroyJenkins: Orla, in ''spades.'' She tends to not think ahead and instead dives right into danger. |
| 316 | * LethalChef: New York Ms. O, whose employees quit due to what she was serving for lunch: every food mixed in at once into a boiling, brown, foul-smelling mess. It manages to ''stink up the drains'' and ''create a hole in the ground.'' |
| 317 | * LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics: Odd Todd uses a classic to demotivate Polly Graph and sell his sour-lemonade-with-side-effects. He defends his lemonade with bar charts that have no labeling. |
| 318 | * LiteralMetaphor: A large staple of the franchise's humor. |
| 319 | * LiteralMinded: In an "Odd Squad Needs You" commercial, Ms. O says that "I need a break!" Cue her doing karate training by breaking a plank. |
| 320 | * LiterallyShatteredLives: Subverted. In "Extreme Cake-Over", most agents turn into cakes. (Hey, that's not more odd than anything else on this show.) In her fight against the cake virus, Agent Olympia (as a cake) ends up as a mess on the floor and everybody is horrified. Of course, it's a kids show - [[DisneyDeath after the virus is sucked out of her remains, she returns to normal totally unscathed,]] and being cake-ified seems to be a somewhat odd, but not painful experience. At least not as painful as Oona's [[IncrediblyLamePun cake puns...]] |
| 321 | * LittleMissBadass: Ms. O is amazingly strong and a good fighter. Most of the female agents could be seen as this as well. |
| 322 | * LittleMissSnarker: Olive, Orchid, Ms. O, and sometimes Oona tend to slip into this. Olive is a more prominent example, as she gives out snark often. |
| 323 | * LoonyFan: Jeremy from, well, [[CharacterTitle "Jeremy",]] who is creepily obsessed with the Squad. Fortunately, his [[invoked]] FanMyopia saves the day because he knows all the answers to the van security questions. |
| 324 | * LoopholeAbuse: In the O Games, Odd Todd is allowed to do the ring throwing for the other agents. This of course makes no sense whatsoever (Oscar closes the hole for the next discipline) and is used by Odd Todd to kick out a random agent from the competition. |
| 325 | * LowerDeckEpisode: "Friends of Odd Squad". Ms. O has to attend a conference and puts Hopkins, Mr. Fonts, Party Pam, and Logan the Ogre in charge. With the explicit instructions of "sit down, don't touch anything, don't do anything". Yeah, that's a recipe for disaster. |
| 326 | * {{MacGuffin}}: The [[MeaningfulName MacGuffin-inator]] in "The Ninja Situation" is one. Doubles as a neat LampshadeHanging of the trope as well. |
| 327 | * MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: "Running on Empty" has a moment that's bizarre even for this show's standards. Agents Opal and Orla use quart containers to carry water in order to refill their van's fuel tank, which runs on water. They already have three full quarts of water, and need to get one more from the water well. But then, a group of random people (known as "feral watercolor artists") come out of nowhere, steal all of Opal's empty quart containers, and run off into the distance, yipping all the way. |
| 328 | * ManChild: Just about every adult in the series is immature and cowardly. They easily fall for a new oddness-solving team, completely unaware they were just hiding the oddness. Any sensible person would check and see if the oddness was actually fixed before honoring the newbies. |
| 329 | * ManEatingPlant: |
| 330 | ** There's one in "A Case of the Sillies" that Oona and Ocean encounter. Oona was lucky that it just got her arm and it succumbed to MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast. It was large enough to eat her whole. |
| 331 | ** There is a giant Venus flytrap in the Creature Room at Odd Squad headquarters. Oscar nearly gets eaten by it in "First Day". |
| 332 | * MarketBasedTitle: |
| 333 | ** The show is known as ''Organisation Super Insolite'' to French-Canadians. However, Canada as a country uses the original name of ''Odd Squad''. |
| 334 | ** In Norway, it goes by the name of ''Kode Tropp O''. |
| 335 | ** Sweden refers to it as ''Ett fall för KLURO''. |
| 336 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: "Haunt Squad". Otis and Olympia disagree when it comes to the question of if there's a ghost in HQ. In typical Odd Squad fashion, the answer is [[spoiler: both.]] |
| 337 | * MediumAwareness: There are a ''lot'' of meta moments, and moments of numerous characters being aware that they're characters on a TV show. "O is Not For Over", the Season 1 finale, has a prominent example of this, with Olive suggesting to the director of ''Bizarre Brigade'' that it "might work better with kids", followed by Otto going to fix the problem (with one of the actors having literally lost her head) and using the correct terms for an actor on set. |
| 338 | ** Ms. O is another example. The ''Odd Squad Agent's Handbook'' reveals that she was approached by Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of television, in 1927 regarding making a TV show. She suggests that he try again in 87 years, or in 2014 -- the same year the show premiered. |
| 339 | * MemoryMatchMiniGame: The episode "Put Me In, Coach" opens up with Oprah playing a "flip two tiles at a time and try to find matches" game, only with pictures of villains. She has three matches, but doesn't match either card she flips over next (Fladam and Odd Todd), causing her to give a growl of frustration before and Olympia and Otis walk in. |
| 340 | * MidasTouch: Eating fifty bananas per day gives you Bananaitis - everything you touch turns yellow. (Don't tell [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Siniestro]]!) |
| 341 | * MirrorsReflectEverything: In "Perfect Score", Olympia uses her [[ShoePhone mirror suit]] to reflect Freeze Ray Ray's freeze ray back at him, freezing him inside a block of ice. |
| 342 | * MirrorSelf: The ColdOpen from "Failure To Lunch". A woman is annoyed by her mirror reflection who is still stuck in a fascinating magazine article when she wants to go to work. Agent Olympia says ''she'' can't solve that problem...but her ''mirror reflection'' can. |
| 343 | ** Also "O is for Opposite", where Ms. O falls into a mirror, releasing her [[EvilTwin odd twin.]] |
| 344 | * MirrorUniverse: Downplayed. Negative Town has negative house numbers and its citizens have negative attitudes, but DarkIsNotEvil. |
| 345 | * MixAndMatchCritters: The spidercats, and quite a few other creatures. |
| 346 | * TheMole: [[spoiler: Agent Ohlm was acting like a fool so he could secretly help the villains take over Odd Squad without drawing suspicion.]] |
| 347 | * TheMovie: Featuring a uniting of both the Season 1 and the Season 2 cast. |
| 348 | ** ''World Turned Odd'' as well, where Otis, Olympia, and Oona accidentally undo every odd case Odd Squad's ever solved. |
| 349 | * MultiPartEpisode: "Reindeer Games", "Crime at Shapely Manor", "6:00 to 6:05" and a handful more others. |
| 350 | * MundaneUtility: In one of the commercials, Oona uses the elevator to illustrate negative numbers. On Floor -2 she fetches a stick, on Floor 2 she fetches a marshmallow, and then it goes down to the lowest floor, -5 -- a cave with a dragon who toasts her marshmallow with its fire. |
| 351 | * MusicalEpisode: Downplayed; in "The Cherry-on-Top-inator", Oona is pleased when Olympia and Otis start telling their story about the eponymous device, as she thinks it is going to be a normal story. Instead, it turns out to be a musical about them going undercover in a diner to spy on Puppy Master and Evil Knight. However, the entire episode isn't a musical - Ocean tells his story as a cartoon, Orchid tells hers as a sock puppet theater and Ohlm tells his in a FilmNoir style, so it quadruples as a MediumShiftGag. |
| 352 | * MysteriousPast: Olive's old partner [[spoiler: Todd]]. Otis's past is set up to be the main mystery of Season Two. [[spoiler: "Who is Agent Otis?" reveals the backstory. He was raised by evil ducks. When they plotted to destroy the world, Otis quit and, with the help of Ms. O, joined Odd Squad]]. |
| 353 | [[/folder]] |
| 354 | [[folder:N to Z]] |
| 355 | * NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: [[ClockRoaches Or else.]] In "Back to the Past" and "Ms. O Uh-Oh", of course. |
| 356 | * NewSeasonNewName: |
| 357 | ** Season 3 is known in full as ''Odd Squad Mobile Unit''. |
| 358 | ** Season 4, likewise, will be known as ''Odd Squad UK''. |
| 359 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: |
| 360 | ** [[spoiler: In "Who is Agent Otis?", Ms. O initially assigns the job of getting the notebook of villains to Xena and Xavier because she knows they'd mess it up. Olympia goes behind Ms. O's back and retrieves the notebook, only for Xena and Xavier to reveal that Otis used to be a villain -- the reason why Ms. O didn't want the notebook in the first place. Otis is tried in court and fired from Odd Squad along with Ms. O]]. |
| 361 | ** [[spoiler: In "Odd Beginnings", Omar posts a selfie of himself and Opal with 44 clover emojis on [[BlandNameProduct Oddstagram,]] attracting the attention of the Sticky Sisters, leading them to try and find the 44 leaf clover as well]]. |
| 362 | ** Zig-zagged in "Who Let The Doug Out". Fladam and Lady Bread constantly bicker who is the oddest of them all, even in Ms. O's office. Delivery Doug's great speech about the union of eggs and mayonnaise makes them bury the hatchet. However, Doug isn't a hero, technically speaking; he is generally portrayed as antagonistic. |
| 363 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Noisemaker is very prone to this, as he CannotKeepASecret. |
| 364 | * NoBudget: InUniverse. The great leave party of Dr. O has a budget of $2. HilarityEnsues, especially at the end - [[spoiler: as you could have expected, Dr. O ''loves'' the random ersatz stuff.]] |
| 365 | * NoIndoorVoice: Ms. O, Party Pam, Coach O, Opal, and Omar all have a tendency to yell a lot. |
| 366 | * NonSequitur: At the beginning of every episode, the show starts off with the main agent introducing themselves through slides (Olive in Season 1, Olympia in Season 2, Opal in Season 3), then their partner (Otto in Season 1, Otis in Season 2, Omar, Orla and Oswald in Season 3), then saying something that has nothing to do with anything while showing a slide related to it before getting back on topic. For example, "This is me, Agent Olive. This is my partner, Agent Otto. This is a dream I had the other night. But back to Otto and me." Doubles as a CouchGag as mentioned above, as the non-sequitur changes in every episode. |
| 367 | * NowAllowedToHug: Otis is largely averse to shows of affection like hugs, opting for polite handshakes instead. In the Season 2 finale, he starts to give a handshake to Oprah, only for her to refuse it and tell him to "bring it in." He willingly obliges, joining in a GroupHug with his coworkers. |
| 368 | * NumberObsession: Number hogs are people who are obsessed with a particular number and end up taking said number from various objects. The episode "Zero Effect" has Glenn, a cupcake shop owner, inadvertently become one in order to promote his "one million billion trillion" flavors of cupcakes. He steals zeroes from a mass variety of things, including Otto's 10th birthday invitation. |
| 369 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler: "Odds and Ends" reveals that Ohlm was pretending to be dumb so he could take over Odd Squad]]. |
| 370 | * ObstructiveBureaucrat: Olympia and Otis must get their paperwork properly done to become "Agent of the Month", lest Baby Orson gets the honor. The agent processing the closed cases is ''extremely'' unhelpful. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]; if you are very clever with {{Foreshadowing}}, you could have guessed [[spoiler: it was Baby Orson in disguise.]] |
| 371 | ** Also the X's, Xena and Xavier, demanding budget cuts while living a life of luxury, which doesn't sit well with anyone. |
| 372 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: This series loves this trope. |
| 373 | ** In "Best Seats In The House" While Olive, Otto, Oren and Olaf were fighting over special chairs. Oscar, Ms. O and Octavia were running a top-secret mission, that involved Oscar getting his hair cut. Then towards the end, we see Octavia walking down the hall with a cat in her hands, and getting a lot of applause. Too bad we didn't see too much of them in action. |
| 374 | ** "Life of O'Brian": Otto taking down a laser chicken without Olive's assistance. Usually he's the goofy one. |
| 375 | ** "O Is Not for Old": So you want to see Ms. O single-handedly defeat all the oddities by herself, with nothing but her bare hands? Sorry, it happened offscreen. Admit it, you wish that wasn't an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome. |
| 376 | ** "Three's Company": So, before the main plot occurred, Olympia and Otis had to restore the moon and put it back in orbit, the closest we see to them doing the case is a photograph. |
| 377 | ** Again in "The-Cherry-On-Top-Inator" when Olympia and Otis told a musical story about them going on an undercover mission to spy on The Puppy Master and Evil Knight. Apparently, they were planning on destroying the world, only to be foiled by Olympia and Otis. |
| 378 | ** "Other Olympia": Olympia [[OneSteveLimit (no, not the Olympia we know who's a central season 2 character)]] and Orzic (who used to be two of Ms. O's assistants) [[HeroOfAnotherStory just finished a year-long case involving a villain known as the Sandman.]] Needless to say, both of them were ''very'' happy to finally be back. [[FridgeLogic This would explain their extremely long absence.]] |
| 379 | ** In "Happily Ever Odd", Donnie changes into something else when eating various foods, first turning into a donkey and winning the Donkeyball League which Coach O invented, and then into a rabbit, being sent to the moon by Oona. We see only a few stills from the adventures, which all take place in just a few hours. |
| 380 | * OlderThanTheyLook: A flashback to Ms. O as a rookie agent in the 80s has her in period fashion and hair, but no younger. |
| 381 | ** Ms. O's flashback in "Fistful of Fruit Juice" shows her before she joined the Squad in the 1870s, and she's ''still'' no younger. |
| 382 | ** This also applies to O'Donahue. |
| 383 | ** And Orla from Season 3, who is a few hundred years old. |
| 384 | * OldFashionedFruitStomping: In the episode "The Odd Antidote", Olive and Otto obtain one liter of Loganberry juice by having the latter mash Loganberries with his feet while Logan the Ogre plays the violin beside him and Olive collects the juice. |
| 385 | * OldTimeyBathingSuit: Ms. O wears one in "Not So Splash". |
| 386 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted for many characters. |
| 387 | ** There's Glenn the cupcake man and Glenn the drink purveyor. |
| 388 | ** There's also Bob, the guy who is in Otto's head, and the middle name Bob used by Kayley and Haley. |
| 389 | ** There is a Dr. O, not to be confused with Ms. O. |
| 390 | *** The episode "Invasion of the Body Switchers" has a ''Professor'' O. |
| 391 | *** The head of a nearby city's Odd Squad division is a ''Mr.'' O. |
| 392 | ** There are at least three Tonys: the bouncer, the Soundcheck member, and the chef. |
| 393 | ** Olympia is both the name of one of Ms. O's assistants and the female protagonist of the second season. |
| 394 | *** This particular example is lampshaded in one episode. |
| 395 | ** There are 2 Orlas: Olympia's friend from the Academy, and one of the protagonists of season 3. |
| 396 | ** Otis is the name of Olympia's partner, Todd's dog, and the new agent at the end of "Other Olympia". |
| 397 | * OrderVersusChaos: The Squad agents are primarily concerned with making things ''normal'', not better, although this usually ends up helping people by default. Seeking power or stealing stuff is only a secondary goal for most of the villains; for most, causing chaos and defying the Squad is much more fun. |
| 398 | * {{Overcrank}}: Justified in "Slow Day", where a few citizens suffer from SloMo. It's also [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] - one of the citizens begins to juggle, prompting Olympia and Otis to get into a discussion whether objects they touch go into SloMo too. Olympia theorizes it's a "force field situation". |
| 399 | * OverlyLongGag: Agent Orchid gets into a staring duel with Oona in "Oscar Strikes Back". Too bad it's not Oona herself, but a wax figure of her, so Orchid is out of luck. |
| 400 | * OverlyLongScream: Otto gives a ''big'' one when he finds out he's been cut in half. His screams gradually decrease though, to the point where he gives a faint pleading one when Olive refuses to go find Baby Genius. |
| 401 | * OvernightAgeUp: Agent Olive is in [[StealthPun big]] trouble when the Flip-Flopinator changes her from 12 to 21 years old. Since adults are not allowed to work as agents in Odd Squad, Ms. O has no choice but to fire Olive. |
| 402 | * PassionateSportsGirl: Olive is obsessed. It's one of the few things she will visibly lose her cool over. |
| 403 | * PaperPeople: Olive, temporarily, by Fladam's devices. |
| 404 | * ParentalBonus: The Season 2 episode ''The Breakfast Club'' introduces an incompetent villain trio called... [[CharacterTitle well...]] [[VillainOfTheWeek The Breakfast Club]]. Both of which are named after the 1985 film of the same name. A clever reference, one only older audiences would pick up on. |
| 405 | * PerfectlyCromulentWord: Used during an "Odd Squad Needs You" commercial from Ms. O: "Yes, I'm talking to you, the one who always understands me. Sneeblegoop-moobiedorp!" |
| 406 | * PieInTheFace: Omar to Orla. To his excuse, he caught Clown-itosis. She later throws a pie in his face, which turns out to be the cure. |
| 407 | * APirate400YearsTooLate: Pirates are a common oddity in the world of the show, and most are amiable when it comes to interacting with agents. |
| 408 | ** In "The Curious Case of Pirate-itis", Olive contracts the eponymous disease when she helps a pirate cross a busy street and begins to slowly turn into a PirateGirl. By the climax of the episode, she's nearly full pirate, with the manner of speaking, the outfit, and the behavior to match. |
| 409 | ** In "Ocean and the Fly", while looking for a cure to turn Oona back into a human from her fly form, Ocean and Oona visit a pirate in a cave, who has a treasure chest fill of gold and pearls, and also wants to start a butter company. He asks Ocean and Oona to help him pick a label for his new butter, and once they pick one, he allows them to take a pearl from his treasure chest. Later on in the episode, he is shown at the grocery store attempting to sell his new butter to customers but failing, and once he sets his eyes on Ocean and Oona, he becomes enraged and takes off after them. |
| 410 | * PirateGirl: Agent Olive, who suffered from pirate-itis. Technically a subversion, as she turned more into a pirate boy, complete with mustache. |
| 411 | * PlatonicBoyGirlHeroes: Basically every set of partners that are the opposite gender. |
| 412 | * PlatonicLifePartners: See above. |
| 413 | * PluckyGirl: Most of the female agents. This especially goes to Olive and Olympia. |
| 414 | * PoisonousPerson: Logan the Ogre can be found nearby the Loganberry tree as well as in Sector 21, a dangerous forest filled with dangerous odd creatures. He has skin that is poisonous to the touch, which makes his habit of taking selfies with people very hazardous. |
| 415 | * PokemonSpeak: Each Oscarbot can only say his number. |
| 416 | * PoolScene: In "Skip Day," Dr. O shows Otto a video of Olive swimming at the Odd Squad pool. Since Olive has the skips, she's still wearing her Odd Squad uniform. |
| 417 | -->'''Polly Graph:''' Looks like she skipped the step where she put on a bathing suit. |
| 418 | ** The end of "Not So Splash", sort of. Ms. O couldn't wait any longer for Olive and Otto to fix the weather problem, so [[spoiler: she flooded headquarters.]] |
| 419 | * POVCam: "Sir". The camera follows his mishaps when going to HQ to be turned back to normal and is shot from a first-person POV. |
| 420 | * PrankCall: From Sillies!Dr.O. Of course it's no great idea to make a prank call from a ten-meter distance. Or so Olympia and Otis think...until they run into plastic foil, set up by Sillies!Dr. O herself. |
| 421 | * PunnyName: |
| 422 | ** Symmetric Al. |
| 423 | ** Also, Polly Graph. (A polygraph is the advanced version of a lie-detector test.) |
| 424 | ** The evil (as in talent ''and'' alignment) band [[Music/VillagePeople Villain People]]. |
| 425 | * PunWithPi: In the episode "Training Day", after a [[{{Portmanteau}} pienado]] is released, an alarm sounds, with a voice reciting the digits of pi. |
| 426 | * PutOnABus: This happens to multiple characters throughout the series, as their actors were aging and couldn't reasonably play children anymore. Particularly noticeable was that the actors for Oscar and Dr. O had gotten significantly taller between Seasons 1 and 2. |
| 427 | ** Olive and Otto are promoted to Ms. and Mr. O of another headquarters in "O is Not for Over." |
| 428 | ** Oscar goes to lead the Science Department in "Oscar Strikes Back." |
| 429 | ** Dr. O leaves for the "Odd Squad Space Station" in "Dr. O: Party Time, Excellent." |
| 430 | ** Olympia, Otis and Oona are absent in Season 3. |
| 431 | ** Mathroom/Carol is completely absent in Season 2 onwards. |
| 432 | ** [[spoiler:Opal leaves the Mobile Unit in "End of the Road" to travel the world with her sister instead.]] |
| 433 | * QuirkyDoctor: |
| 434 | ** Dr. O from Seasons 1 and 2 is the [[TheComicallySerious comically serious]] Head Doctor of the Medical department at Precinct 13579, whose humor comes from being deadpan and serious enough in personality to contrast everyone else's eccentricity in an organization where eccentricity is the norm. She constantly reminds everyone that she's a doctor regardless of whether they're aware of it or not, drinks unicorn tears as a favorite food (when she's not using it in cures), and according to "Extreme Cakeover", she doesn't even have a birthday, citing that it is a medical condition she has. |
| 435 | ** Olly, Dr. O's replacement who debuts midway through Season 2, is crazy enough to scare the resident CuteAndPsycho Scientist Oona out of her wits with her actions -- handing Oona random food and changing her undershirt without touching her once, having a strange vendetta against Precinct 13579's cafeteria workers, and having an original birth name of "New Dr. O" before getting it changed. Unlike her predecessor, she is far from competent in her job, often ComicallyMissingThePoint when it comes to properly measuring ingredients and relying on her (one-sided) best friend Oona for every medical-related thing under the sun when she doesn't work in the Medical department and thus has little knowledge of the cures for odd illnesses. By the end of Olly's debut episode, she is transferred to the Food and Beverage department, where she fares much better. |
| 436 | * RaisedByWolves: [[spoiler: In the season 2 finale, Otis reveals that he was raised by ducks.]] |
| 437 | * RankUp: [[spoiler: In "Odds and Ends", Ohlm gets promoted to Mr. O after Oprah is fired. However, he gets demoted and fired from Odd Squad due to being evil. Then, the Big O announces that since he has to go to kindergarten, Oprah is now the Big O, with Orson becoming the new boss of Precinct 13579]]. |
| 438 | ** [[spoiler: Olive and Otto get promoted to Ms. O and Mr. O in "O is Not for Over".]] |
| 439 | * RashomonStyle: In "Recipe for Disaster", Olive and Otto explain to Ms. O why a case went wrong and created a vortex, each in their own way, and each telling a significantly different version of events. The villain Rainbow Robyn then adds her own version of events, which is probably closer to the truth. |
| 440 | * ReadTheFreakingManual: Otis ends up not knowing what a Halfiversary is because he never read his manual in "Happy Halfiversary". |
| 441 | * RecordNeedleScratch: Constantly used in "Music of Sound". Funny enough, it fits well with the theme of the episode. |
| 442 | * ReluctantMonster: Many. Best example may be Logan, Keeper of the Loganberries. He's a bit scary, but constantly averts the ThresholdGuardians expectations: |
| 443 | -->'''Olive:''' We have to get back to headquarters and- |
| 444 | -->'''Logan:''' NONE SHALL LEAVE THIS PLACE! |
| 445 | -->''{{Beat}}'' |
| 446 | -->'''Logan:''' Until we take a selfie together! |
| 447 | * RedIsHeroic: The main characters, the Investigation department, are associated with red. |
| 448 | * RefugeeFromTVLand: In "How to Interrogate a Unicorn", Olive and Otto investigate when characters start coming out of books and invading the library. |
| 449 | * RewatchBonus: Play close attention to whenever Ohlm does something really stupid and ditzy throughout Season 2; [[spoiler: He's trying to destroy Odd Squad for not being made the Big O upon graduating the Academy, and being TheDitz is just an act so he can sabotage the squad without drawing attention to himself.]] |
| 450 | * RiddleMeThis: The riddle of the Guardian of the Rocks: "What is heavy, and solid, and makes a very nice paperweight?" One guess what the answer is... |
| 451 | * RockPaperScissors: In the beginning of "Totally Odd Squad", Olive, Otto, Oscar, and Ms. O play this to see who gets the last jellybean. The winner is [[spoiler: Ms. O]]. |
| 452 | ** In "Undercover Olive", all the villains in town have a rock-paper-scissors contest to see which of them gets a map of the Odd Squad tube system. Since one of the villains is sick, Olive, being the best RPS player on the Squad according to Ms. O, goes undercover as the sick villain [[spoiler: and wins]]. |
| 453 | * RookieMaleExperiencedFemale: Olive and Otto. He's new to the squad, while she's already had a former partner and experienced a [[spoiler: betrayal and pienado.]] |
| 454 | * RotatingProtagonist: Olive and Otto are the main characters of Season 1. Otis and Olympia are the main characters of Season 2. Opal, Omar, Orla, and Oswald are the main characters of Season 3, entitled ''Mobile Unit''. |
| 455 | * RottenRoboticReplacement: Heavily downplayed with Omega. He's quite good at pulling wrong scientific hypotheses out of his backside, [[ItMakesSenseInContext he blocks the Noisemaker's "Happy Birthday" attack with pizza]], and when he selfdestructs like all good robots, he just goes "poof" and is gone forever. But of course, Olympia's "gut feeling" for solving the case was right. |
| 456 | * RunningGag: |
| 457 | ** "You know, when you said Eggmobile, I really thought it'd be shaped like an egg." |
| 458 | ** There are also season-long running gags: Season 1's "If Sheila could see me now", Season 2's toast, and Season 3's Esmeralda Kim. |
| 459 | * SarcasmMode: |
| 460 | --> '''Ms. O:''' I have an idea. Let's all stop working and talk about how much you love the Bears. |
| 461 | --> '''Olive:''' Really?! |
| 462 | --> '''Ms.O:''' [[BigNo NO!!!]] We have a case to solve! |
| 463 | * SarcasticClapping: Agent Oren does this in Blob on the Job. It only takes a few seconds for Olaf to [[spoiler: steal Olive and Otto's blob container and make off with it]]. |
| 464 | --> '''Oren:''' Well done. You caught the blob fair and square. Too bad [[spoiler: Olaf grabbed it while you were watching me clap]]! |
| 465 | * SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Oscar does this in "Bad Luck Bears" when he's scanning the players for 13s as well as in "Zero Effect" describing the number hog. However, in a Behind the Scenes video, Sean Michael Kyer (who plays Oscar) says that his character's gadgets do not contain any speakers necessary to emit the sounds, so he makes the sounds himself. |
| 466 | ** Olive does this in "Reindeer Games".: |
| 467 | --> '''Olive:''' Oh, I always like to make a "ding" sound whenever I find a coordinate. |
| 468 | ** Another version is spoken later in the same episode by the same agent. |
| 469 | --> '''Olive:''' Ring-a-ding-ding. |
| 470 | * SayMyName: [[NoIndoorVoice "OSCAR!!!"]] |
| 471 | * ScareChord: Fittingly, in "Haunt Squad". In the ColdOpening, a man is afraid to open his closet because one of these plays every time he gets close. Otis is also too scared, but Olympia gets all her strength together and rips the door open. [[RevealShot It turns out to be a woman playing the cello]] who mistook the closet for a concert hall. |
| 472 | * SdrawkcabSpeech: |
| 473 | ** "20 Questions", courtesy of Backwards Bob (or Bob Backwards). Ms. O is affected, but she talks backwards so it cancels out. |
| 474 | ** Also done in an "Odd Squad Needs You" commercial by Otis. |
| 475 | * SelfDestructMechanism: Of course the Mobile Unit Van has one. Omar manages to hit that exact button when pressing random buttons in a training video. Luckily, he manages to stop the countdown in time. |
| 476 | * SeriesMascot: A {{jackalope}} can be found on the automatic doors throughout the Odd Squad headquarters. A more close-up view is shown in the [[FoodPorn "Cupcakes"]] promo. |
| 477 | * SeverelySpecializedStore: In "Odd Squad in the Shadows", the Squad mistakes Mr. Sides for a supervillain. However, when they visit him, they discover he is actually a local businessman who runs a restaurant that serves nothing but side dishes. He later admits "this was a terrible business model". |
| 478 | * ShameIfSomethingHappened: In "How to Interrogate a Unicorn", Olive is attempting to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin interrogate a unicorn]]. When the unicorn is uncooperative, Olive changes tactics, putting a bucket with a rainbow inside on the table and telling it that it would be a shame if something happened to it. The unicorn still refuses to comply, and Olive angrily knocks the bucket onto the floor, spilling the rainbow. |
| 479 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Olive is deathly afraid of pie, because [[spoiler: her old partner, Odd Todd, unleashed a pienado that she had to stop. It didn't help that Oscar had to pull a HeroicSacrifice, albeit nonlethal, so she could do so.]] |
| 480 | * SiblingRivalry: The Confalones go from Bestest Friends to Shouting Match and back in seconds. |
| 481 | * SinisterSurveillance: A case of [[ComicBook/WhatIf Watchers watching Watchers]] at the end of "The O Team". Luckily, said watchers all belong to Odd Squad, but it's still played as a bit sinister. |
| 482 | * SirVerbALot: Odd Squad's pet goldfish, Sir Fish-A-Lot. |
| 483 | * SkywardScream: Odd Todd does one in "The O Games" upon losing. |
| 484 | * SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: When Agent Olympia discovers one supervillain has given her a 1 on her evaluation form, rather than the 10 she got from every other villain, she becomes obsessed with finding out who gave her the bad evaluation. |
| 485 | * SpeakInUnison |
| 486 | --> '''Olive and Otto:''' The directions are missing zeroes because zeroes are disappearing! [[FinishDialogueInUnison Stop talking at the same time as me! YOU STOP!]] |
| 487 | ** Olive and Otto also tend to do this in general, especially when announcing the name of a suspect in a case, or in Ms. O's words... |
| 488 | --> '''Ms. O:''' Only when they get really excited. |
| 489 | ** "Jinx" is the embodiment of this trope. |
| 490 | * {{Spoiler}}: |
| 491 | ** Rare in-universe example for "Olive and Otto in Shmumberland". Not very clever of Agent Otto to refuse getting spoiled, as Agent Olive, who knows the content of the comic (into which the two were zapped), can use her knowledge for their benefit. |
| 492 | ** Another in-universe example occurs in "Raising The Bar" -- Opal shoots down some FlyingBooks (which can talk) and complains they are spoiling the endings of stories. |
| 493 | ** And yet another in "Music of Sound", where the band Villain People endlessly discuss which evil orders they should give their hypnotized audience. Spoiling the endings of things was one suggestion. |
| 494 | * SpyTuxReveal: |
| 495 | ** It's shown in ''The One That Got Away'' and ''World Turned Odd'' that Oprah and O'Donahue keep their suits on under their clothes. They strip the outfit off to reveal the suit when called upon. |
| 496 | ---> "I never took it off." |
| 497 | ** The inverse happens in ''First Day.'' Olympia thinks she's failed as an agent, so she strips off her suit to reveal her academy clothes. |
| 498 | * {{Squee}}: Olympia in general is very prone to this in multiple episodes as well as TheMovie. In one OddTube video, she literally squees and explodes. |
| 499 | * StarterVillain: The Sticky Sisters are the antagonists of the Season 3 premiere. They later get defeated by the protagonists. [[spoiler:The Shadow is the actual main villain of Season 3.]] |
| 500 | * SteppingOutToReact: In "Bad Luck Bears", Olive and Otto are told that the entirety of the Burly Bears basketball team needs to be brought into Headquarters to be scanned for unlucky thirteens. Once Olive confirms that the team is coming to ''her'' Headquarters where she'll get to meet them, she calmly excuses herself and leaves Oprah's office through its glass doors. The camera then cuts to Otto and Coach Roberts before cutting back to her as she begins screaming out cheers, doing the Running Man dance, and even inviting other agents to celebrate along with her in spite of their unease. |
| 501 | * StickySituation: Naturally, the [[IncrediblyLamePun shtick]] of the Sticky Sisters. They would make better villains if they didn't high-five each other and stick to themselves all the time. |
| 502 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Most Odd Squad villains are harmless ''and'' inept anyway, but the incompetence of Shapeshifter's team storming Odd Squad HQ in "Flawed Squad" is astounding. |
| 503 | ** Olive has a ''lot'' of these moments in Season 1. Most of her reactions to things revolve around the incompetence and sheer idiocy of people around her, and it's gotten to the point where a FacePalm (her pinching the bridge of her nose) is a defining CharacterTic for her. |
| 504 | * SwappedRoles: "High Maintenance". Unsurprisingly, maintenance of HQ is a living hell, as Olympia and Otis soon have to admit. And of course, what would be a HQ (even of the good guys) without a yelling SelfDestructMechanism... |
| 505 | * SwiperNoSwiping: Very often, but what you expect from [[HarmlessVillain Harmless Villains]] who are AffablyEvil? (Well, some of them, anyway...) |
| 506 | * SwissArmyAppendage: The villain The Utensiler (and her sister) have hands that are giant Swiss army knives, allowing them to manifest whatever utensil they might require, up to and including a vacuum cleaner. However, in the case of The Utensiler's sister, her hands no longer function as hands and she requires someone to open doors for her. |
| 507 | * TakenForGranite: |
| 508 | ** In "Dance Like Nobody's Watching", this happens to Olive, who jumped to conclusions and on a tile that triggered Oscar's safety system. (It was reversible, no surprise.) |
| 509 | ** In "Oona and the Oonabots", a creature called the Stone-Turner has turned nearly everyone in Headquarters to, well, stone. |
| 510 | ** And again in "The Thrill of the Face", where the ancient Piedro de Guerrero runs rampant. It has the ability to turn anyone into stone if one of its lasers hits them. |
| 511 | * TalkingInYourSleep: Oswald does this in "Down the Tubes" when he manages to fall asleep from exhaustion on a family's table after arriving at their home, which is Tube Station 5. He later does it at the end of the episode when he rides through the tubes. |
| 512 | * TeenSuperspy: Or 'Pre-Teen Superspy' in this case. |
| 513 | * TeleporterAccident: Oona switches bodies with a fly in "Ocean and the Fly". Luckily, she is able to talk in this state, although it's grating HeliumSpeech. |
| 514 | * TempleOfDoom: In "Odd Beginnings". It's an old abandoned Odd Squad HQ, which guards the legendary 44-leaf clover, and has death traps as well as Orla, the clover's guardian. Of course, it ends up collapsing at the climax of the episode. |
| 515 | * TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Only very narrowly averted in "Total Zeroes", when Sister Zero, with her new power of multiplying by zero (instead of adding it), zaps everything away until only a WhiteVoidRoom remains. Having a HeelRealization, she seeks Odd Squad's assistance in making things right again. |
| 516 | * ThemeNaming: The agents' names all start with O. Lampshaded by Otto in "The Potato Ultimato". |
| 517 | -->'''Otto:''' How was I supposed to know? Every agent that works at Odd Squad's name starts with an O! |
| 518 | ** It's why [[spoiler: former Agent Todd stands out.]] |
| 519 | ** Agents who are part of the X's have names that start with X instead. |
| 520 | ** The band Villain People consists of Ava, Eve, Ivy and Uva. (The latter name is Latin for "grape".) |
| 521 | * ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Oona always forgets the password to her lab computer. (The password is "3".) Just in case, she isn't able to solve the oh-so-complicated math riddle on her cheat sheet, she has a special keyboard with all keys being "3". |
| 522 | * TheStinger: In-universe, in Oksana's What-not-to-do-with-food educational video, after probably everybody already turned off after the overlong CreditsGag (consisting of everything being credited to Oksana). In brief, all aforementioned rules are null and void in case of a monster emergency. |
| 523 | * ThingOMatic: Most of the gadgets have names that end in "-inator". |
| 524 | * TickleTorture: Dr. O (under the influence of The Sillies) tickles Otis to the point of tears. This gives Oona and Ocean the idea to use the same technique on the Squanzo Bonzo plant, of which they need tears from for the cure to heal Dr. O. |
| 525 | * TimeLapse: Olympia and Otis reverse the SloMo effect from "Slow Day", forgetting that all agents in HQ, who are still in normal time, now speed up ridiculously. Ms. O has no problem with that: [[MundaneUtility "Think of all the extra work they're going to get done!"]] |
| 526 | * TimeStandsStill: Father Time, featured in "Flawed Squad", has this ability, which leads to much discussing in the villain team which TimeFreezeTrollingSpree should be brought down on the heads of the helpless agents. Unfortunately [[TalkingIsAFreeAction talking is]] ''[[AvertedTrope no]]'' [[AvertedTrope free action]]; the effect lasts only one minute and can only be applied once a hour. Cue villains frantically trying to hide in the vast Odd Squad HQ area before the minute is up. |
| 527 | * TimeTravelersDinosaur: Part of the crux of Season 3's StoryArc involves a group of villains who are looking to use the Golden Sundial for their own personal gain, planning to defeat Odd Squad through summoning creatures from past history such as dinosaurs. However, they don't manage to succeed due to the Mobile Unit's interference. In addition, while they're not there due to time travel, Odd Squad ''does'' house dinosaurs of all sorts of species, which have been shown to ally with them once or twice. |
| 528 | * ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil: The main goal of the villains. They don't really benefit from their crimes, they just seek to make the world weirder. |
| 529 | * TooMuchInformation: The trope name is spoken verbatim in "Sample of New York" by now-retired villain Polka Dot Pete, who realizes that Omar and Orla are not that interested in his personal life. |
| 530 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Oprah loves juice boxes and Olaf loves potatoes. |
| 531 | * TrappedInTVLand: Or in this case, computer land in "Not OK Computer". Mostly the same...only in a computer you can download a cat virus named [[ADogNamedDog "Cat Virus"]]. And a dog virus because they'll never learn. Which even [[RefugeeFromTVLand manages to escape.]] Luckily, he's cute and harmless. |
| 532 | * TransparentTech: Played with. It's not entirely clear whether the show takes place in the future or not, with the ''Literature/OddSquadAgentsHandbook'' only suggesting it takes place sometime in the 2010s. However, the titular organization is very futuristic when it comes to its headquarters' designs as well as its gadgetry, some of which surpasses the inventions of RealLife, with Orpita claiming it is "at the leading edge of technology" in "Welcome to Odd Squad". The episode "Happily Ever Odd" in particular has Otis attempting to activate his smartwatch for help solving an equation, only for Oona to stop him by telling him that she doesn't want any of "that old-fashioned stuff in here" and project a transparent computer screen by shooting a beam into the air. Once the equation is solved, she blows on the screen, causing it to disappear. |
| 533 | * TroublesomePet: The first and only appearance of Whoops, Oprah's dog from "Puppet Show", involves him snatching Oscar's bone-shaped gadget from his hands, which is needed to turn everyone back into humans. After a long chase through Headquarters, Otto, knowing that Whoops will only give up the bone if he has something else to chew on, offers himself as a sacrifice and tells Olive to throw him, but due to having been turned into a puppet, it has little effect. It takes Oprah giving Whoops a juice box for him to finally give up the gadget. |
| 534 | * TrustMeImAnX: Dr. O always tends to remind other agents that she's a doctor. See ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder above. |
| 535 | * TubeTravel: Agents travel by being "squishinated" into balls and then fired through a series of tubes to their destination. |
| 536 | * TurnInYourBadge: [[spoiler: Odd Todd is fired from Odd Squad in "Training Day", for intentionally misleading Ms. O and Olive when attempting to find Tiny Dancer.]] |
| 537 | ** Olive is forced to do this in "Trading Places" when Odd Todd uses the Flip-Flopper-inator to turn her from 12 to 21; [[spoiler: however, she returns to the force once the gadget is recovered and she is de-aged.]] |
| 538 | * UndercoverCopReveal: O'Donahue infiltrates a [[EnemyMime trio of mimes]] and reveals himself by just wiping the make-up off and speaking. The RunningGag is the outrageous amount of [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight unusually uninteresting sights]] he pulls on them to leave clues for Olympia, Otis and Ms. O. |
| 539 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Quite a lot of the time. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in the sense that with that much odd happening, anything minorly odd won't really be noticed easily. |
| 540 | * VerbThis: When being attacked by evil copiers in "Friends of Odd Squad", Hopkins says "Copy this!" at one point when battling them. |
| 541 | * VillainTeamUp: |
| 542 | ** This happens in multiple episodes, but most notably in "Undercover Olive", when all the villains partake in a rock-paper-scissors battle to decide who gets the Odd Squad map. |
| 543 | ** Zig-zagged in "Villain Networking". The Shadow tries to unite all villains of the world, but every time she points out how much oddness they solved throughout the year, they begin to fight and blame each other. She finally manages to succeed when she focuses on how much oddness each villain group managed to solve in July (since that was a high point for them, before the Mobile Unit formed). |
| 544 | * VisualPun: In "Undercover Olive," Fladam goes to the ice cream truck and orders an ice cream sandwich. Otto, Oscar, and Orson give him a scoop of ice cream between two slices of bread. [[spoiler: This is actually what he wanted.]] |
| 545 | * VomitDiscretionShot: In "Reindeer Games", a fellow agent had Ms. O try a worm cake. Though at first refusing, Oscar (sitting on the side) [[CoughSnarkCough directs her.]] She then thanks the agent who offered it to her and runs offscreen to throw up and ask for a bucket. |
| 546 | * WeaponizedHeadgear: The villain Brad Hatter attacks people by throwing hats at them. |
| 547 | * WorldTour: Season 3 sees the protagonists travel around the world as a Mobile Unit to solve odd cases. |
| 548 | * WeaksauceWeakness: The hydraclops is immune to all the heavy stuff Odd Squad comes up with. Wisely, Oscar has stored the ultimate anti-hydraclops weapon years ago: [[spoiler: an overripe sock. The monster's keen sense of smell is his downfall.]] |
| 549 | ** The fact that you can knock out a ragtag bunch of villains by throwing ice cream balls at them surely counts too. |
| 550 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Odd Todd, [[spoiler: Olive's old partner]], repeatedly tries to get Olive as well as other agents to join his "Todd Squad". |
| 551 | * WeirdCrossover: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVr1zEjLFiA One promo]] released in the UK has Otis, Ms. O and Otis returning from a case to the world of ''Series/StrangerThings'' -- specifically, the Upside Down. This is despite the fact that ''Stranger Things'' is much more DarkerAndEdgier than ''Odd Squad'', which is a EdutainmentShow that, while mature at times, is for the most part lighthearted (not to mention that the former show is of the {{Horror}} and ScienceFiction genres while the latter is a WorkCom). |
| 552 | * WhamEpisode: [[WhamEpisode/OddSquad Has its own page.]] |
| 553 | * WhamShot: Odds and Ends: Seeing Ohlm eat his yogurt with the proper side of his spoon, revealing he faked his idiocy. |
| 554 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In "Puppet Show", Ms. O gains a new pet: an Australian Shepherd named Whoops. While Whoops was portrayed somewhat as the secondary antagonist of the show, he has not been seen or heard from since that episode aired. |
| 555 | * WhiteVoidRoom: The titular void from "The Void" falls under this, due to the fact that it has two exits as well as a floor. |
| 556 | * WickedToymaker: Evil Teddy is a villain who steals batteries and turns teddy bears into evil robots. |
| 557 | * WithCatlikeTread: Noisemaker wears a variety of instruments all over his body that makes sounds whenever he moves. When the gang of villains are attempting to sneak through Squad headquarters in "Flawed Squad", the others keep turning to stare at him because of the noise. He thinks it's because of his heavy breathing. |
| 558 | * WorldOfWeirdness: Most of the minor odd occurrences which the Squad corrects don't have a villain, or even any sort of explanation, behind them. So long as it's fixed to the satisfaction of the client, nobody much cares ''why'' such oddness breaks out. |
| 559 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: Odd Todd in the O-lympiad against Dr. O. It works. |
| 560 | * YokoOhNo: A non-romantic variant -- Orla breaks up Soundcheck completely by accident in "Music of Sound". |
| 561 | * YouAreGrounded: [[spoiler: In "Odds and Ends", Ohlm is grounded by his parents for trying to destroy Odd Squad]]. |
| 562 | * YouDidntAsk: Said by Omega, when Olympia and Otis find out he has a projection utility and they don't have to crawl into his cramped innards for doing research. |
| 563 | * YouSayTomato: The Squad solves the fight with "Tomeeeeeeeeeeeto!" |
| 564 | * YourMimeMakesItReal: In "Behind Enemy Mimes", the EnemyMime trio is defeated this way at the end. |
