Cyberchase/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Creator's Pet: Digit is shoehorned into every story and is never allowed to learn anything because he's supposed to represent the youngest age bracket of the show. And he has an even more annoying smaller counterpart, Widget, who's even more of one. Digit is also the Team Pet.
  • Ear Worm: The theme song
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Slider, Creech, Shari Spotter
  • Magnificent Bastard: Ledge.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Though this is a kid’s show, it does have its scary moments from time to time. A good example is in the first episode, where Hacker tries to kidnap the kids with a crane, and remarks Motherboard will pay a heavy price to get them back from him, even if he will return them.
  • Periphery Demographic: It's an Edutainment Show about elementary school math concepts. It has a trope sheet. In fact, a decent amount of high schoolers and even college students have admitted they watched it.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks: After having several seasons being traditionally animated, switching to Flash seemed very, VERY wrong.
  • Toy Ship: Matt/Inez and Slider/Jackie are the most popular.
  • Villain Decay: After running for so many years and having Hacker defeated so many times by the kids, this eventually was lampshaded heavily into the show that Hacker is now trying to renew his evil image because no one in Cyberspace is afraid of him anymore. Their new plotline involves a humanoid borg named Ledge trying to outsmart him as a villain; Ledge being Hacker's former fan until becoming disillusioned when Hacker dismissed him for his failure.
