'''The Stanley Dynamic''' is a Canadian sitcom that airs on Creator/{{YTV}}. It ran from 2015 to 2017.

The series follows the Stanley family, which consists of:
* '''Lane Stanley''', a cartoonist and the father (portrayed by Michael Barbuto),
* '''Lisa Stanley''', the mother and a caterer at a community center (portrayed by Kate Hewlett),
* '''Lawrence "Larry" Stanley''', a junior high aged boy and twin of Luke (portrayed by Charles Vandervaart),
* '''Luke Stanley''', Larry's twin brother, who happens to be [[MediumBlending a cartoon]] (voiced by Taylor Abrahamse), and
* '''Lori Stanley''', a ChildProdigy and the youngest child (portrayed by Madison Ferguson).

In each episode, the family does activities that usually end in silly hijinx.

!!Contains examples of:
* ChildProdigy: Lori's defining trait.
* CreepyChild: Morgan would qualify, considering her tendency to use students at her school as human test subjects.
* TheDitz: Both twins, however it's more prominent in Larry. Doop and Lane would also qualify.
* {{Fangirl}}: Pam clearly has a thing for Buddy Heat.
* MediumBlending: Luke is a cartoon, while everything else is live-action.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Buddy Heat seems to be a parody of Gordon Ramsey.
* SickEpisode: "The Stanley Sick Day". Lane and Lisa both get food poisoning, so Larry and Luke try to mind the community center. [[HilarityEnsues It goes about as well]] [[EpicFail as you'd expect]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Larry loves ketchup.
* WeirdnessCensor: No one seems to be bothered that Luke is a cartoon.
* WomenAreWiser: Lori is noticeably smarter than her brothers and father.
* TheWorkaholic: Doop, however he's more cheerful than other examples.
