'''''Cyberchase''''' is an [[Edutainment Show]] that began airing in 2002 on [[PBS]]. As of the end of 2019, it was in its 12th season.
 
The series revolves around a trio of kids, Jackie, Inez, and Matt, and their robotic bird friend (known as a "cyboid") Digit, who go [[Inside the Internet]]. They have been called upon by Motherboard to help defend and repair Cyberspace from the evil schemes of The Hacker, who is not a [[Playful Hacker|playful one]], or even human, but an evil cyborg whose goal is to conquer all of Cyberspace and spread chaos. The Hacker used to be Motherboard's assistant; however, he tried to destroy her by downloading a virus into her. Luckily, her firewall was able to stop the damage from being too severe, but still left her in a weakened state, thus forcing her to recruit Jackie, Matt, and Inez from Earth to help defend Cyberspace.

[[Cyberchase/Characters|Character sheet]] currently in construction.
----
=== Includes examples of: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]
* [[Alphabet Soup Cans]]
* [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]: A bit of a [[Broken Aesop]] in that no character is ever seen going from 'evil' to 'good' for real. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that that would complicate the plot and not make it a show about math and science.
* [[And Call Him George]]: Delete wants a bunny he can love, keep, and call George.
* [[Art Shift]]: The sixth season transitioned to [[Adobe Flash|Flash]] animation.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
** Inez being called "short" or "tiny".
** Inez being called "Nezzie," although this usually only applies to Matt.
{{quote| '''Matt''': "Okay, okay Nezzie!"<br />
'''Inez''': "Don't call me Nezzie...Matt''hew''."<br />
*[[Beat]]* }}
** Matt, whenever Slider [[Hilarity Ensues|shows him up]].
Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* [[Elevator Floor Announcement]]
* [[Elvis Impersonator]]: Hacker in one episode, when he became [[Punny Name|the King]] of Happily-Ever-After.
* [[Endangered SouffleSoufflé]]
* [[Enemy Mine]]: The final episode {{spoiler|due to the series no longer in production at least according to PBS Kids Go! despite getting a relaunch on their website}} has the Cybersquad teaming up with Hacker to defeat Ledge.
* [[Evil Redhead]]: Wicked
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[Expy]]: Anyone who's watched [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]] will notice how similar Hacker is to Robotnik. They're both the [[Large Ham]] [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of their respective series, and Hacker's lackeys are also expies of Scratch and Grounder.
* [[Eye Glasses]]: Inez
* [[Fake Defector]]: Almost every (if not ''all'' the) time that Digit goes back to Hacker's side.
* [[Fantastic Measurement System]]: The show occasionally refers to distances or lengths in [[American Customary Measurements|"cybermiles" and "cyberinches"]], and weights in "cybergrams". However, the occasional mention of "inches", "meters", etc. (without the "cyber-" prefix) is seen.
* [[Fat and Skinny]]: Buzz (short and stout) and Delete (thin)
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The bad guy is [[Back to The Future|Doc Brown]] and the bird is [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Iago]] and the AFLAC duck.
** Jackie and Inez are [[Total Drama Island|LaShawna and Sierra]] respectively.
* [[Ho Yay/Western (animation)Animation|Ho Yay]]:
** Jules and Matt, one-sided on Jules' part
** There's some strong tension between Matt and Slider too.
Line 88 ⟶ 87:
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: Inverted with the Hacker. Just ''look'' at that thing.
* [[Large Ham]]: Hacker. Jackie also has a habit of announcing that they're "DOOMED!" very loudly.
{{quote| '''Jackie''': Cyberspace is doomed, ''doomed'' I tell you, [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|DOOOOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-OOMED]]!<br />
'''Matt''': [[Lampshade Hanging|And the award for best dramatic outburst of the day goes to... Jackie!]] }}
* [[Leitmotif]]: Listen for a soft techno beat when the kids go into educational mode. Familiar to those with dial-up Internet.
Line 124 ⟶ 123:
** Inez is about as sesquipedalian as a nine-year old can get.
** Creech can get like this too. In fact, it's how they met in the Tikiville race episode. Matt and Jackie decided to make fun of Inez's vocabulary which led to her quitting the Cybersquad temporarily and working with Creech for most of Creech's introduction episode.
* [[ShamgriShangri La]]: The cybersite Shangri-La and Master Pi
* [[Shout-Out]]: Swipe is reported to have stolen the ram from King Ramalamadingdong and the dip from Queen Dipdedipdedip, both references to "Who Put the Bomp" by Barry Mann.
** Mr. Zero laments that people think he is a [[The Beatles|nowhere man]].
