''Tutenstein'' is an Emmy Award winning animated television series, produced by [[Adventures Fromfrom the Book of Virtues|Porchlight Entertainment]] for [[Discovery Channel|Discovery Kids]]. It also airs on [[Jetix]] in Turkey. It began broadcasting on November 1, 2003.

=== This cartoon shows examples of: ===
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Most episodes involve Tut learning that he should treat his friends well and/or not use magic for selfish reasons. It never sticks.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Luxor fits the bill, when you see the episode where he and Chloe have a Freaky Friday Moment. "Perhaps I could wear that powder blue mini with a matching nehru jacket. I think Jake would find me quite fetching in it!"
* [[Big Bad]]: Set.
* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Cleo, at least when it comes to Egyptology.
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: Arguably, Luxor. The scepter's magic made him intelligent and able to speak, but also forced him to become Tut's [[Extreme Doormat]] [[Beleaguered Assistant]].
** Luxor also counts as a [[Butt Monkey]] and a [[Woobie]].
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Averted with Luxor, who's one of the most good-natured characters in the series.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Did you just trap [[Eldritch Abomination|Apep]] with a fishing net?
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Cleo's father. It's never clear exactly what happened to him.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: It's hard to blame the gods for being annoyed with [[Jerkass|Tuten]][[Royal Brat|stein]], but threatening a ten-year-old child with eternal damnation for crimes like vandalizing a wall or cheating at a board game seems a ''little'' harsh.
** Cleo even points this out, mentioning that in spite of his position, is just a kid.
* [[Downer Ending]]: "The Comeback Kid". {{spoiler|Not only does Tut turn back into a mummy, ''he will never get the chance to become flesh and blood again''.}} [[Fridge Logic]] makes the whole series kind of a downer from then on.
* [[Elvis Impersonator]]: The characters visited a convention of them in "The King of Memphis".
* [[Egyptian Mythology]]
* [[Eternal English]]: Tutenstein and the Egyptian gods all speak modern English, though Tut has [[Just a Stupid Accent]]. Presumably [[A Wizard Did It|the Scepter of Was did it]].
* [[Five-Man Band]]: Sort of....
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
** [[The Big Guy]](s): Kyle and Jake

* [[For Halloween I Am Going Asas Myself]]: In "Day of the Undead," Tut walks among mortals on Halloween, impressing trick-or-treaters with how much his costume looks and smells like a long-dead Egyptian mummy.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Tut's gigantic nemes headress. He only takes it off a few times in the entire series. ▼
