Line 7:
Due to a clerical error involving a misspelled last name, a middle-school aged human named Adam Lyon is sent to attend Charles Darwin Middle School: a school for [[Talking Animal|talking zoo animals]]. Rather than fix [[Stranger in A Strange School|this problem]], he befriends an animal named Jake Spidermonkey and deals with the obvious problems of being a human in an environment made solely for animals.

* [[The Ditz]]: Nerdy Crocidile
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: There is the human school and the animal school...and the animal school doesn't really teach much. Of course,the series presents this as more or less a [[Unfortunate Implications|good idea]].
** well they learn useful stuff for animals.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: "Robo Frog 3000": Because when any middle school faculty is confronted by the school board with robots ready to destroy them, you always keep a wizard in your trunk just in case. Right?

** Which ends up ''saving the day'', strangely enough.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Series premise. Seen literately a few times.
Line 127 ⟶ 126:
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Several characters, most notably Prinicipal Pixiefrog, seem to know that they are characters in a cartoon.
* [[Musical Episode]]: Aptly titled ''Animal School Musical''.
* [[Nightmare Fuel
