{{work}}

'''Gino:''' ''Poor, but at least good looking!'' }}

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Dolly, a kung-fu master version of the famous cloned sheep. Also the karateka cow Lucy Kiai and Gina.

* [[Brick Joke]]: The vampire episode features a very big one. The episode opens with a disclaimer:

** Then the episode continues normally, until, towards the end, Gino gets a [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw]] to fight the vampires, but first he pauses for a bit:

** ...[[Subverted Trope|and then most]] [[Take Our Word for It|of the battle is censored]] with [[Censor Box|censor bars]] and the Cheercritters covering the screen screaming "TOO SCARY! DON'T WATCH!"

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Chief Colby is really fond to say (and sing) "I'M CRAZY FOR CHICKEN!". With a music video of him in a chef hat and apron, while eating chicken legs. [[Flat What|Yes, really]].

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Ray Mundo.

* [[Cool Shades]]: Lampshaded in one of the end-of-the-episode "aesops":

* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: spoofed, crossing with [[Space Whale Aesop]], in the Poltergeist episode:

* [[Dumb Blonde]]: The Cheercritters are a whole species made only of these.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: a brief sequence features Gino in a luchador attire in front of a "Parental Advisory - Explicit Content" banner. [[Parental Bonus|Anyone who knows what that banner means]] will get the nasty reference.

** In the "Splatter Rock" episode a variant of this shot is featured, with Gino warning the audience in front of the banner (but without the luchador attire) about the following fight between him and <s> [[Ozzy Osbourne]]</s> [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|Rozzie Rock]].

** In the same episode, as a nod to Ozzy Osbourne, his fictional counterpart bites a bat's head off. Onscreen. ''Graphically.'' '''''[[Refuge in Audacity|That is, with blood dripping from his mouth.]]'''''

*** Subverted in the Parallel universe episode. While fighting a monster, Gino and his parallel universe self prepare to execute a combined move, putting on the banner and [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|asking kids to look at something else or going to sleep, since their attack will be extremely gruesome]]. And then, their gruesome move is... ''a giant burp on the monster's face''.

** Tiger Ping is clearly a [[Furry Fandom|furry]] version of [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud Strife]], down to the hairdo and the giant sword.

* [[Spoof Aesop]]: every episode ends with Gino giving an Aesop... which actually teaches nothing. In the Kalinka episode:

** Or, in the Splatter Rock episode:

* [[Talking to Himself]]: The creator of the series voices almost every character.

* [[Take That]]: the "Splatter Rock" episode referenced above hints that series creator Andrea Zingoni may not be too fond of heavy metal, given the way they depict it - such as Ma' (leader of a digital [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]) suggesting her minions to "play as bad as possible".
