12''Oh No! It's An Alien Invasion'' is a {{Canadian|Series}} [[AllCGICartoon CG]]-AnimatedSeries from Creator/{{Nelvana}} that was created by Vancouver-based animators Philippe Ivanusic-Vallee and Peter Ricq (both of whom also co-created ''WesternAnimation/LeagueOfSuperEvil'' at Creator/NerdCorpsEntertainment) for Creator/{{YTV}}.
13
14The Earth has been [[AlienInvasion invaded by an alien race]] known as the Brainlings, led by their idiot manchild emperor [[TheCaligula Brainlius III]] and the supreme commander of his armies, [[DragonInChief Briiian]] (yes, that's with three i's). As part of their invasion scheme, the Brainlings have abducted all of Earth's adult human population, leaving only the children behind.
15
16With nobody else left to fend off the aliens, it's up to [[KidHero the kids]] to [[LaResistance fight back]]. Under the leadership of a young boy named [[TheLeader Nate]], the kids have taken refuge in a department store and formed a resistance team of their own known as S.W.E.E.T. [[FunWithAcronyms (Super Wicked Extreme Emergency Team)]]. Along with an oddball group of fellow grade-schoolers (consisting of [[ActionGirl Turret]], [[IntrepidReporter Scoops]], [[LovableCoward Shakes]], [[TheSilentBob Jumbo Ninja]], [[TheSmartGuy Louis]], and [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Lily]]), Nate is intent on fighting the Brainlings off the planet, as well as locating and rescuing the captured adults, most chiefly their parents.
17
18The series ran from August 3rd, 2013, to April 30th, 2015 with a total of 40 episodes over 2 seasons. Interestingly, the show made a ChannelHop from YTV to Creator/{{Teletoon}} for its second season.

21!!''Oh No! It's An Alien Invasion'' contains examples of:
22* ActionGirl: Turret fills this role among the female members of S.W.E.E.T.
23* AdiposeRex: Emperor Brainlius III is the biggest and fattest of the Brainlings, as well as their ruler.
24* AlienInvasion: The Brainlings have invaded Earth and abducted all the adults.
25* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Lily is the youngest of the kids making up S.W.E.E.T., and acts the most like a young child of them as well, so she generally doesn't participate in any action.
26* BlandNameProduct: The kids' home base is a store called Wal-Ma- (ahem) ''Swell''-Mart.
27* ButHeSoundsHandsome: In "The Spandexter", Louis adopts a secret identity as the costumed Spandexter. When Nate invites the Spandexter back to their headquarters to meet Louis as they are both into science, the Spandexter says that Louis sounds "really, really, really cool. And handsome".
28* TheCaligula: Emperor Brainlius III is the obese, insane, moronic, and childlike ruler of the Brainlings.
29* CheekCopy: In one episode the kids attempt to set a new world record for doing this, only to be beaten by the aliens who have a photocopier that produces its own paper.
30* ChildishToothGap: Lily has a gap in her upper teeth.
31* ChristmasEpisode: "Ho Oh No", in which S.W.E.E.T. decides to carry out Christmas for the kids when they deduce that Santa has likely also been abducted by the Brainlings. However, Emperor Brainlius is also trying the same thing (with a reluctant Briiian being dragged along), due to his newfound obsession with the holiday, except that his poor understanding of Christmas threatens to ruin it for the kids.
32* DragonInChief: Due to Emperor Brainlius' ineptitude, the whole invasion is mostly masterminded by his general Briiian, and the kids usually have to deal with his schemes.
33* DroppedInTheToilet: In "The Royal Flush", Emperor Brainlius III accidentally drops a cootie catcher in his toilet, and [[ReflexiveResponse then he flushes it out of force of habit]], much to his horror. This sets off the plot for the episode, as he ends up clogging all the pipes in the city. [[HereWeGoAgain The episode ends with him dropping it in there again.]]
34* ExtraEyes: Briiian is differentiated from the other Brainlings by having three eyes rather than two (although one of them is covered up with an eyepatch).
35* FunWithAcronyms: The kids' resistance movement is known as S.W.E.E.T.: '''S'''uper '''W'''icked '''E'''xtreme '''E'''mergency '''T'''eam.
36* GratuitousNinja: Jumbo Ninja, a member of the team.
37* GrowlingGut: Scoops does this in "Brainlings On Parade", "The Future Is Now", and "Lost In The Hood".
38* GirlishPigtails: Lily has them.
39* KidHero: A whole team of them fighting against the Brainlings, with Nate standing out in particular given his role as team leader.
40* LaResistance: S.W.E.E.T. is a resistance group of children fighting against the aliens who have invaded their planet and kidnapped their parents.
41* TheLeader: Nate fills this role in the team.
42* LeftHanging: The series ends with the adults still captured.
43* LittleMissBadass: The female members of S.W.E.E.T., naturally. Turret stands out in particular as the most action-y of the bunch.
44* LovableCoward: Shakes, as his name suggests, is usually shaking his his shoes when up against the Brainlings, but is nonetheless a loyal and trusted member of the team.
45* TheMall: The Swell-Mart, which S.W.E.E.T. uses as their base of operations.
46* MirrorUniverse: Louis gets sent to one in one episode. In it, S.W.E.E.T. are the villains who used the Brainlings' technology to abduct all the Earth's parents, while the Brainlings are hiding in Swell-Mart, trying to restore order to the world.
47* MonochromaticEyes: The standard Brainling {{Mook}}s have solid bright green eyes.
48* OpeningShoutOut: Halfway through the series finale S.W.E.E.T. takes over the Brainlings' ship and a version of the intro plays with their roles reversed.
49* PottyEmergency: In "The Royal Flush", all of S.W.E.E.T. is forced to hold it in because Emperor Brainlius III's new hobby of flushing things down the toilet has clogged the sewers.
50* PunnyName: Brainlius' name sounds a lot like "brainless", which befits his idiotic personality.
51* RapidAging: In "The Stache'", Shakes is blasted with a ray that Briiian developed to use on Nate. It causes him to rapidly get older and older. He's an old man by the time S.W.E.E.T. obtains the ray to turn him back to normal.
52* TheSilentBob: Jumbo Ninja speaks in hand action, not words.
53* TheSmartGuy: Louis takes this role for the team, studying the aliens, conducting tactics and communications from base, and developing new gadgetry to fight the Brainlings.
54* StealthPun: Briiian's name is spelled with three i's, and he's also the only Brainling with three ''eyes''.
55* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tough ActionGirl Turret is the Tomboy to IntrepidReporter pageant queen Scoops' Girly Girl.
56* TheVoiceless: Jumbo Ninja never speaks.
57* WeaksauceWeakness: Dog drool is the aliens' weakness.
