Yakkity Yak was a short-lived show created by Australian animator Mark Gravas for Nickelodeon.

It was a show about Yakkity, a yak who dreams of becoming a famous comedian, and his friends, an anthropomorphic pineapple named Keo (don't ask why) and a human named Lemony (and on some occasions, a robot girl named Penelope)

Tropes used in Yakkity Yak include:

• Adult Child: Mr. Highpants
• Adobe Flash: Used to create the show's animation.
• Ambiguously Gay: Mr. Highpants
• Big Bad: Rando Jr.
• Butt Monkey: Mr. Highpants & Rondo Jr.
• Expy: Lemony is oddly similar to Lisa Simpson, only without the use as an Author Tract.
  • Also, Gary, the Big Bad in certain episodes, is very similar to Sheldon J. Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants, what with his constantly-failing evil plans to steal the secret recipe for some specific food.
  • Mr. Highpants is Peppermint Dedede.
• The Faceless: Chuck Damage
• Funny Animal
  • And even Funny Plant!
• Genki Girl: Lemony
• Getting Crap Past the Radar: Grubbity Grub was about to say to Yakkity that his sticks his hand up his butt. Yet, they made it like they said another word.
  • Lemony's Opening Dialog in High-Fashion Yak.
• Glory Days: Chuck Damage, a former wrestling champion
• Half-Human Hybrid: Keo's mother was human, while his father is a pineapple (yes, really).
• Jerkass: Mr. Highpants & Rondo Jr. (again)
• Kaleidoscope Hair: Not suprisingly, Professor Crazyhair.
• Kids Are Cruel: As The Worm Turns, High-Fashion Yak & Snow Biz
• Parental Abandonment: Neither Yakkity's parents (he lives with his grandmother and her lodger, Professor Crazyhair) or Keo's mother ever appear.
• The Ditz: Rondo Jr.
• Real Song Theme Tune: "Yakety Yak" by the Coasters
• Suck E. Cheese's: Highpant's Candy Store
• Too Dumb to Live: Yakkity (Apparently)
• Unmoving Pattern: Professor Crazyhair's hair, except it did move, just... not in the way you'd expect. Must be seen to be believed.
