'''''Wayside School''''' (usually billed as just '''''Wayside''''') is an [[Animated Adaptation]] of the novels from Louis Sachar, created by [http://mycomputerhatesme.com/index.htm John Derevlany].
 
While a lot of the original setting and premise from the books is retained in the series (ie the 30 ft school, [[Wacky Homeroom|the students]], and [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Cows|the cows]]), it also differs quite a bit from the original story. For instance, [[Butt Monkey|Todd]] is made a [[New Transfer Student]] to the school and stars as the main protagonist for the show with Mrs. Jewels already teaching at Wayside.
 
Originally premiering on Canada's Teletoon in 2007, it was later moved to [[Nickelodeon]]. The series had 25 episodes and an hour long [[Pilot]] [[The Movie|Movie]] episode. Despite garnering relatively favorable reviews, the show was cancelled in 2008 and the first season was released later that year. [[Missing Episode|The second season is still on waiting]].

=== Additionally, the [[Animated Adaptation]] contains examples of: ===
* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: Maurecia towards Todd. to show her love,
* [[Adult Child]]: Mrs. Jewls, who borders on this and [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. She's been known to play pinball in class.
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Louis is the sanest and most competent member of Wayside's faculty, which was kind of the case in the books as well.
* [[Bizarrchitecture]]: Much much moreso than the books. While the Wayside School was simply an [[Technology Marches On|insanely tall ]][[Star Scraper|skyscraper]], in the series it looks like it was engineered by [[MCM. C. Escher]].

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Todd, to an extent.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Dana's "Enough with the fun!!", usually right after her [[Signature Laugh]].
Line 19:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Ms. Jewls, Principal Kidswatter, Myron. Basically, ''everyone'' except for Todd and maybe Louis.
* [[Companion Cube]]: Sammy the dead rat, normally Ms. Mush's companion, all of the kids tend to like and respect him.
* [[Drunk Withwith Power]]: Myron in ''He Is It''.
* [[Epic Fail]]: Myron is this personified. He can't even operate a light switch.
* [[Five -Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Todd
** [[The Lancer]]: Maurecia
Line 28:
** [[Team Mom]]: Mrs. Jewls
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Ms. Mush.
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!]]: [[Michael Cera]] voiced Todd for the hour long [[The Movie]] [[Pilot]], then he was replaced by one of the many voices of ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]''.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: [[Crosses the Line Twice|Done twice]] in ''Daring Love''. After Jenny jumps over Todd on her motorcycle, she tells a very concerned Maurecia that there's "No way I could've hit him", to which Maurecia then asks "Why anyone would hit Todd?" Cue [[Overly Long Gag|flashback]][[Clip Show|montage]] of Maurecia hitting Todd. Todd then comes over to complain, and Maurecia hits him again.
* [[Informed Ability]]: An episode involving a dance-off with another school involved Todd and Maurecia creating a move that simply involved Maurecia punching Todd. This is treated as the hottest thing since sliced bread and even gets the rival team a really high score when they steal the move and use it during the dance-off.
* [[Jerkass]]: Much of the characters, from Mrs. Jewls to Myron.
* [[Magic Skirt]]: Maurecia
* [[Meganekko]]: Dana
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Todd.
* [[No Guy Wants to Be Chased]]
* [[Non -Human Sidekick]]: Sammy.
* [[Once an Episode]]: Todd being sent home.
** Not in ''every single'' episode, actually. But it's a running joke.
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted, as it's a Three Eric Rule, no more and no less. Lampshaded and lampooned every way possible.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Todd.
* [[Pointy -Haired Boss]]: Principal Kidswatter.
* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: While the show isn't a complete adaptation of Louis Sachar's books, it is a relatively impressive show in it's own right.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Todd
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Todd and Maurecia
* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: Maurecia, when she tries to get out of the "stupid smart class". The class was run by Miss Mush, who is [[Too Dumb to Fool]].
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Almost ''every'' episode.
