Line 7: ''Radda Radda Radda Rad-Radda Radda!'' }} From C.H. Greenblatt, formerly a writer and storyboard artist on both ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' and ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy ~~and~~& Mandy]]'', comes this little crazy series inspired by food and Dr. Seuss. Set in Marzipan City, a odd place full of weird and wonderful creatures, and even weirder and more wonderful ''foods'', ~~the show~~'''''Chowder''''' tells the story of Chowder, a little fat lavender bear-cat-rabbit boy who is the apprentice of Mung Daal, chef and owner of his namesake catering company. Along with Shnitzel, the gigantic rock monster who works as a cleaner and [[The Unintelligible\|can only say "Radda"]] (though everyone still understands him), and Truffles, Daal's fairy wife, they spend many crazy and wacky adventures together in the realm of cooking, while Chowder dreams of one day becoming a chef himself, though his eating habits might prove a problem... The series finale aired August 7, 2010. Line 124: {{quote\|And so Chowder and the tastebuds were led to what they believed to be certain doom. Well, maybe not ''certain'' doom; more like, doom with a strong possibility. [[Inherently Funny Words\|Possibilidoom.]]}} * [[Dull Surprise]]: Played for laughs with Ceviche. * [[Ear Worm]]: The theme song, the Veggie Guru's song, and the sing beans' song. There's also an in universe example: after Paté performs "I'm Not Your Boyfriend" (a song written by Chowder to Panini), everybody is singing it to themselves. Sort of like a [[~~Theme~~Diegetic ~~Tune~~Theme Cameo]], except "I'm Not Your Boyfriend" isn't the theme song. "Blow your beans... on Route 17!" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfyo8ZYWnW8 "Hey there, hey there you, hey there!"] Line 223: * [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Chowder in aforementioned "Brain Grub". Chowder, after gaining [[Medium Awareness]], turns the show into something smarter via sheer brainpower. Unfortunately, it also turns the show boring, prompting one of these reactions. * [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted, oddly. This is one of the few kids shows that cheerfully uses death for ''humor''. Of course, Greenblatt came from the [[The Grim Adventures of Billy ~~and~~& Mandy\|other one]]. Definitely averted in "The Dinner Theater", where Chowder plotted to have Panini killed (when she was standing ''in front of him'') just so he can catch the murderer in the act. Probably one of the rare [[Jerkass]] (and downright cruel) moment from the titular character. * The same episode, where he spent the entire episode in a panic because he thought someone else (specifically Gazpacho, who was playing the villain, but he wasn't sure at the time) was going to kill her, so he tried to figure it out because he was playing the detective? Sounds more like a very [[Cloudcuckoolander]] investigation technique to me. Line 292: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrO9kjbzNRA Really], its [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxkX7JllbD4 true]. * [[Shell Shocked Senior]]: Mung goes into flashbacks when commissioned to ''bake a pie''. See [[Crosses the Line Twice]], above. * [[Shout-Out]]: Oh so much video games especially ''[[Katamari Damacy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario ~~Bros.~~(franchise)\|Super Mario]]''. (twice. Two [[Captain Ersatz\|Captain Ersatzes]] of Mario and Luigi show up in one episode and an oversized Bowser shows up in another) being two obvious examples. Or in a recent episode, where Chowder made the least subtle but most awesome reference to [[Portal (series)\|Portal]] ever, by saying "The cake was a lie!" One of the Halloween episodes was a parody of ''[[The Exorcist]]'', and the other contained a shout out to ''[[Psycho]]'' at the end.
