''[[The Secret Show]]'' (2006-2007) is either an incredibly silly cartoon or a ruthless parody of Martini[[Tuxedo Flavouredand Martini]] [[Spy Fiction]]. Probably both. Any trope that gets within a mile of this show tends to end up subverted or parodied. Like all good children's comedy shows it can raise a smile in adults too.
 
The show follows top U.Z.Z. agents Victor Volt and Anita Knight as they thwart the various threats to earth's security, supported by [[Da Chief]] whose name is [[Code Name|Changed Daily]], always to something embarrassing and/or silly, and U.Z.Z. chief scientist Professor Professor. The most common foe is Doctor Doctor's T.H.E.M. and its [[Mooks|Expendaballs]]. Other foes are the Impostors, a race of (probably) worm-like aliens who have special suits that allow them to assume perfect disguises, The Reptogators who live 60 miles below the surface of the Earth, and are naturally stupid; they have terrible eye sight, so they track people down by the smell of dirty teeth. They only become intelligent by sucking out the brainwaves of other creatures (most are too stupid to know this however). The Floaty Heads, aliens with floating heads who, according to the website [[Motive Decay|seem to want something different every time they show up.]]
Line 15:
The format of each 15 minute episode is fairly regular, start with Special Agent Ray clearing the time slot of The Fluffy Bunny show, run titles, have the briefing including [[Once an Episode|Changed Daily's new name of the day]], fight the often utterly ridiculous foe (with extra briefings as needed) and then a de-briefing.
 
Originally a British creation airing on the [[BBC]], this is among [[Nicktoons]]' independently-funded acquisitions it made in the later part of the [[Turn of the Millennium|2000 decade]], along with ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'', ''[[Skyland]]'', ''[[ShirukenShuriken School]]'', ''[[Edgar and Ellen]]'', ''[[Ricky Sprocket]]'', ''[[Three Delivery (Animation)|Three Delivery]]'', ''[[Wayside (Animation)|Wayside]]'', and ''[[Making Fiends]]''.
 
Definitely ''not'' to be confused with [[Clive Barker|''The Great and Secret Show'']].

{{tropelist}}
Tropes used include:
* [[Big Bad]]: Dr. Doctor
* [[Big No]]: Professor Professor at the start of 'The Thing That Goes Ping'.
Line 32:
* [[Couch Gag]]: Ray's method of evicting Granny from the opening slot.
** Once, Granny has a 'very special episode' involving collecting carrots for the bunnies. The following dialogue ensues, after the screen zooming out to show some U.Z.Z agents...
{{quote| '''All Agents''': BOR-ING!<br />
'''Agent in Red''': Anything else on?<br />
'''Agent in Blue''': Yeah. Let's watch... The Secret Show. }}
** Subverted, BEAUTIFULLY, in an episode where Granny is sick, so her rarely-seen husband, Sweet Little Grandpa, runs the bunny show. When the agents show up to evict him, he...takes it poorly. Like, "headbutts an U.Z.Z. agent and holes up in a nearby house, shouting statements about freedom" poorly. It was maybe the funniest moment on the show.
Line 40:
* [[Different in Every Episode]]: The chief changes his name in each episode for security reasons.
* [[Fail O'Suckyname]]: Changed Daily's several names.
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: It's UZZ against THEM.
* [[Future Badass]]: Victor in 'Victor of the Future,' although the 'terrible future' aspect of the trope doesn't seem to be present.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Taking advantage of the fact Professor Professor usually phones him during dangerous situations, Victor once left his cell phone behind so the call would distract the enemies pursuing him and Anita. Unfortunately, because agents couldn't waste cell phones like that, ''Anita'' was the one to be rewarded for it.
Line 58:
* [[Mooks]]: The Expendables.
* [[Once an Episode]]: Evicting Sweet Little Granny from her time slot, Changed Daily's name and...
{{quote| '''Prof. Professor:''' Victor! Are you still alive?<br />
'''Victor''' (usually irritated)''':''' ''Yes, I'm still alive!'' }}
** Although usually he's just barely still alive, or just about to "not be still alive anymore."
