Line 1: {{work}} An'''''Li'l Elvis and the Truckstoppers''''' is a late-1990s Australian animated series starring Little Elvis Jones, a child prodigy guitarist and singer, and his [[Three Amigos\|two best friends]] living in a small Outback town. Lil' Elvis was [[Door Step Baby\|dropped in a guitar case on the doorstop]] of a [[Happily Married]] couple of Elvis fanatics running a truckstop, who looked out and saw a Cadillac vanishing into the night. Now he and his friends play in a band, and contend with the [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] W.C. Moore, who practically controls the town and is in a ruthless search for more of the [[Green Rocks\|mysterious mineral]] known as [[Unobtainium\|Berkonium]]. Despite the fairly typical cartoon presentation, the show had an ongoing plot over W.C. Moore's search for Berkonium and attempts to completely control the town and the Truckstoppers, while the kids deal with the trials of growing up in a small town in the Australian outback. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes evident in this series include: ===~~ * [[Door Step Baby]]: Lil' Elvis Jones. While his adoptive parents are convinced he's the King's son, Lil Elvis isn't so sure. * [[Empathic Weapon]]: Generally not used as a weapon, but W.C.'s [[Unobtainium\|Berkonium]] marble moves on its own and does whatever W.C. wills it to. Mainly, this is to [[Kick the Dog\|cheat at other people's marbles games]]. {{spoiler\|Lil' Elvis himself gets one of these in the last episodes, which he uses to beat W.C.}} * [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: An episode has the jumper shorts of Spike, the resident bully, slip down before snapping back up. If you [[Freeze -Frame Bonus\|freeze the frame at the right moment]], you'll see that the artists actually ''drew his privates.'' * [[Humiliation Conga]]: {{spoiler\|W.C. Moore's ultimate fate.}} * [[Land Down Under]]: A good example of Australians themselves gleefully invoking their own stereotypes.
