Line #5 Trivia/Wordgirl


1	* ActorAllusion:
2	** In the episode "Wham Up", the Baker, who is voiced by [[Series/TheKidsInTheHall Kevin McDonald]], bakes a cake that says "Happy Birthday Kevin".
3	** Bampy is voiced by Creator/TimConway. Keep that in mind and watch him play the World's Oldest Man in a ''[[Series/TheCarolBurnettShow Carol Burnett Show]]'' sketch.
4	* AllStarCast: Nearly every character is played by a famous actor/comedian. Creator/ChrisParnell of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' fame, Creator/HJonBenjamin from ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'', Creator/PattonOswalt from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', Creator/JohnCMcGinley from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''...[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1128052/fullcredits#cast just check out the cast page on IMDB]].
5	* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
6	** In Latin America, the show (and the title character) is renamed to ''Chica Supersabia'', which means ''Super Wise Girl''.
7	** Likewise Hebrew: The title character is called ''Milulit'' (מילולית): the feminine adjective for "Literal", which is also used to mean "Literally...". The show's name is her ActivationPhrase, which is "The power of [=WordGirl=]!"[[note]]Even though Hebrew is one of those languages where adjectives come before the subject, it's unambiguously "The power of [=WordGirl=]!" and not "Literal power!"; The Hebrew word for "power" is in the masculine grammatical gender, so the adjective would be masculine as well if it was.[[/note]] in the dub.
8	* TheDanza: The Energy Monster's real name, Maria, comes from her voice actress, Maria Bamford.
9	* DawsonCasting: This is played straight in the series proper, but averted in the "What's Your Favorite Word?" segments. Children were interviewed about their favorite words, and the audio was set to animation.
10	* EarlyDraftTieIn: Scholastic's official [=WordGirl=] website [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/62/83/5c/62835cb6b536ee9b9e0747a7f93d902d.png initially featured [=WordGirl=] and Huggyface's second concept designs]].
11	* FakeBrit:
12	** Tobey's upper-class UsefulNotes/{{British accent\|s}} is provided by American Creator/PattonOswalt. It's been speculated that he is one InUniverse too, as the accent tends to slip when he's talking to his mother, though WordOfGod [[https://wordgirlappreciation.tumblr.com/post/102905838329/is-tobeys-british-accent-fake has denied this]].
13	** Same with Reginald and H. Jon Benjamin.
14	* KidsMealToy: At Wendy's, the series got audiobooks as well as a figure of Captain Huggyface.
15	* MakeAWishContribution: A young girl named Esme [[https://web.archive.org/web/20190113202930/https://wish.org/wishes/wish-stories/i-wish-to-meet/esme-word-girl got to write an episode]] where Becky met a character based off her. Unfortunately, due to [=Soup2Nuts=] going bankrupt, the episode never made it past script form.
16	* NoExportForYou: The show never aired in Poland or the rest of Central and Eastern Europe, nor did it air in the United Kingdom.
17	* OutOfOrder: The season six episode "A Questionable Pair" was aired after "Invasion of the Bunny Lovers," but has an earlier production code number and was clearly intended to air before it, as [[spoiler:Scoops learns that Becky is [=WordGirl=] in the latter, while it's a PlotPoint that he doesn't know in the former.]]
18	* ProductionPosse:
19	** Chris Parnell, H. Jon Benjamin, Jeffrey Tambor, and guest star Kristen Schaal later worked on ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' together; Benjamin and Fred Stoller had earlier worked on another [=Soup2Nuts=] series, ''WesternAnimation/ScienceCourt'', and Benjamin had also been a primary voice on the [=Soup2Nuts=]/Tom Snyder series ''WesternAnimation/DrKatzProfessionalTherapist'' and ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies''.
20	** Tom Kenny and Maria Bamford’s characters frequently interact in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', especially as Ice King and whichever minor princess he’s trying to marry, or as some of their many background roles.
21	* TheOtherDarrin:
22	** In Lady Redundant Woman's premiere episode, she was voiced by Creator/AmandaPlummer. Since then she's been voiced by Creator/GreyDeLisle.
23	** In the "May I Have a Word" segments, Beau Handsome is voiced by Ryan Raddatz, while in the show itself, he is voiced by Creator/TomKenny.
24	* ReferencedBy: The series' lore was the subject of WebVideo/AthenaP's first video in the Lore series, during which, she agonizes over Bob's VagueAge and expresses her dislike of Violet.
25	* UnfinishedDub: The Latino Spanish dub only covers the first two seasons. This is because parents complained about the violence and Becky's dishonesty on the former Discovery Kids message boards.
26	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
27	** Although she's voiced by Dannah Phirman, the producers actually wanted Creator/ReeseWitherspoon to voice [=WordGirl=].
28	** [[https://www.behance.net/gallery/9639909/Character-Designs-for-existingindevelopment-television/modules/71136817 In early concept art]], Becky was a blonde white girl with a different costume, and the Butcher was younger and skinnier. [[https://www.amybmacdonald.com/animation/animation-stills/1 Later concept drawings]] from 2005 had the characters looking closer to their final appearance, though [=WordGirl=] didn't have her ChestInsignia yet.
29	* WordOfGay: [[http://lizbreenwrites.tumblr.com/post/104712660499/hi-liz-i-have-a-friend-who-ships-t-j-with According to]] associate producer Liz Breen on Website/{{Tumblr}}, TJ and Johnson are canonically in a gay relationship.
