A popular [[Canadian Series|Canadian animated series]] produced by Teletoon from the creators of ''[[Sixteen|6teen]]''. The show is about 22 teens who sign up to star on a reality show similar to Survivor called ''Total Drama'' where they are divided into teams and given challenges every three or so days; whenever a team loses a challenge they have to vote one of their members off the show, after a handful of contestants from either opposite team are eliminated (in a combined total between both teams), the teams merge and the remaining contestants compete as individuals and engage in a free-for-all where it's every man (and woman) for themselves. The last contestant standing wins C$100,000, however from "Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island" and ''Action'' onwards the prize money has been changed to C$1,000,000.
 
The first season, ''Total Drama Island'', takes place at Camp Wawanakwa, a campsite located on an island in an unspecified area in Muskoka, Ontario.
Line 217:
** Scott uses them to deceive Zoey.
** Dakota also gives them as a benign example, namely to [[Attention Whore|bring attention to herself]].
* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: Chef Hatchet in a few of the "Gilded Chris" ceremonies, though not by choice. It's happened a few times since, under varying degrees of convincing.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Clé Bennett as DJ's mama
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]:
Line 333:
* [[Expy]]:
** Harold of Napoleon Dynamite.
** Basically the entire show of ''[[Sixteen|6teen]]''. Also the characters: [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Duncan = Jonesy]], [[Spoiled Sweet|Lindsay = Caitlin]], [[The Snark Knight|Gwen = Nikki]], [[Cloudcuckoolander|Geoff = Jude]], [[The Determinator|Courtney = Jen]], [[Straight Man|Trent = Wyatt]]/[[Shallow Love Interest|Stone]], [[Granola Girl|Bridgette = Starr]], [[Single-Minded Twins|Katie/Sadie = Khaki Clones]], [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|Chef = Ron/Coach Halder]], [[Extroverted Nerd|Harold = Darth]], [[Strange Girl|Izzy = Lydia]], [[Alpha Bitch|Heather = Tricia]], [[Jerkass|Justin = Hunter]], [[Deadpan Snarker|Noah = Wayne]], [[Big Guy|Owen = Carl]], [[Geek|Beth = Julie]], [[Sassy Black Woman|Leshawna = Serena]], [[Butt Monkey|Cody = Talon]], [[Jerk Jock|Tyler = Charlie Dobbs]], and [[Hair-Trigger Temper|Eva = Leda]]. *really big breath* Considering they were both made by the same company (Fresh TV) and a lot of the voice actors and actresses were the same...
** Of the 13 new cast members, 3 stand out as expies of real life people: Anne Maria is one to [[Jersey Shore|Snooki]], Sam is one to [[Seth Rogen]] (at least physically), and Dakota is one to [[Paris Hilton]]. In regards to other fictional characters: Jo is an expy to [[Glee|Sue Sylvester]], Dawn is an expy to [[Harry Potter|Luna Lovegood]], Mike is an expy to [[Jimmy Two-Shoes]] (and [[Hey, It's That Voice!|voiced by the same VA]] as well), and B is a [[Race Lift|race lifted]] expy of [[The View Askewniverse|Silent Bob]].
** It's worth noting that the Expy in this show is actually not that subjective but in fact a specialized form of [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]. Many characters were actually based off of real-life personalities appearing on Reality TV shows. [[Survivor|Russell Hantz]] has two expies in the form of Alejandro (Even being turned into a Ratings machine!) and Scott (in terms of idol-play and sabotaging his team.) Several contestants are an expy of the [[I'm Not Here to Make Friends]] or [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]] who show up on these kinds of shows. Heck, Staci almost makes one wonder if she was inspired by [[Survivor|Coach]].
Line 346:
* [[Fan Disservice]]:
** Owen, who frequently appears naked.
** Chef, anytime he [[Cross DresserCrossdresser|crossdresses]], especially in a [[Stripperiffic|stripperriffic]] purple bikini.
** Alejandro jiggling his naked moobs at the confession cam.
* [[Fan Service]]:
Line 356:
** In the second aftermath, Beth is shown [[Total Drama Comeback|eating a cookie.]]
** Hell, in the Celebrity Manhunt special Blainely outright says "Total Drama Comeback".
* [[Fandom -Specific Plot]]: ''A lot'' of the fanfiction out there is about a season where reviewers can apply for a spot on the show.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Chris.
* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: Averted by Lindsay, [[Lethal Chef|who totally can't.]]
Line 459:
* [[Groin Attack]]: Many, especially in the earlier episodes. Most importantly, this is how {{spoiler|Heather defeats Alejandro}} in the finale of ''World Tour''.
* [[Hair-Raising Hare]]: The [[Killer Rabbit]] in ''Search and Do Not Destroy''
* [[Handy Remote Control]] / [[Plot -Sensitive Button]]: Most commonly used by Chris as a bomb detonator.
* [[Harmless Electrocution]]: Played with in ''Jamaica Me Sweat,'' where Tyler gets a momentary shock from an [[Psycho Electric Eel|electric eel,]] and isn't hurt. Gwen, however, gets shocked by ''three'' electric eels and has to be rescued by Alejandro and taken to the infirmary. Played straight in ''The Ex-Files,'' where the guys get shocked by a laser, an electric fence, a clone pod, and an alien, in that order, and don't take any lasting damage.
* [[Hartman Hips]]: Every girl except [[Fat Girl|Sadie]], [[Big Beautiful Woman|Leshawna]], [[Impossible Hourglass Figure|Lindsay]], and [[Fat Girl|Staci]].
