''Yin Yang Yo'' is an [[Animated Series]] which aired in [[Toon Disney]]'s Jetix block (later [[Disney XD]]). It retains the same creative team behind ''[[The Fairly
Yin and Yang are twin rabbits. Yin, the studious and socially aware girl, is constantly mortified and embarrassed by her dirty, disheveled, violent, greedy and self-indulgent (but still miraculously on the side of good) brother, Yang. Together, they study the ancient art of Woo Foo under the tutelage of grumpy [[Old Master|old panda Master Yo]], who once had his own Woo Foo glory days.
Yin's studies are Woo Foo magic; Yang's are Woo Foo combat, hence the "might and magic" standard above. They both are eager to prove themselves, partly because they want to master what they've learned, but also because the [[Big Bad]] has rendered it so ''the entire world'' thinks Woo Foo is stupid and laughable. The problem is that, as twins and polar opposites, they get on each other's nerves and get in each other's way often. But when they do finally set aside their differences and actually work together, they prove formidable.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Yin, Lina towards the end of Season 2
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: There's normal names like Dave, Linda and Rodger. There are fictional names, like Yin, Yang and Coop. And there are names like Ultimoose and [[Spell My Name
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Or [[Shout
* [[All Girls Like Ponies]]: Or Twonicorns, as the case may be.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Yin seems to fall instantly for anyone she knows, if they become tainted with evil. Even Coop the chicken. [[Especially Zoidberg|Especially Coop the chicken.]] It is very plot-relevant in "Gone-a-Fowl."
Line 25:
** He once used a giant robot in the shape of a giant pink stiletto-heeled stripper-boot. He's been seen being fitted for a dress by his mother (Who the dress wouldn't fit, of course, as she's a dragon. Don't ask), with no sign that it was unwilling. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Carl's accent is the straightest thing ABOUT the character.
** Kinda leads to Carl's mother [[The Unfavorite|not liking him]] into rather [[Unfortunate Implications|uncomfortable overtones,]] doesn't it?
* [[Animation Bump]]: The animation does seem to get better in the second season. The movements are less..."bouncy".
* [[Animal Battle Aura]]: A Woo Foo Aura, which is in the shape of the animal that makes it.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: Ironically, most of the power items are in Yo's Woo Foo Armory. But the villains get their hands on it, and [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [[Art Shift]]: There is one in "Upstanding Yuck" during Yuck's flashback. It is drawn to look like a children's picture colored with crayons.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Master Yo
* [[Bad Future]]: The premise of "Deja Foo", Yang creates a future where Ultimoose becomes the new Night Master when he found the Amnesulet but he managed to hit the [[Reset Button]] on it. {{spoiler|When Yang use this as a advantage to start deliberatingly hurt others in attempt to get revenge, it's even worse when he forgot about the Amnesulet and got Yin and Master Yo killed by Ultimoose in the process!}} Yang managed to prevent the future from happening by being nice and stopped Ultimoose, {{spoiler|with the help of the villains who Yang was nice to!}}
Line 43:
* [[Brick Joke]]: This series runs on these, but the biggest one comes from ULTIMOOSE! In "The Trouble with Twonicorns", he says he wants to pick up chicks, with his horns showing [[Pungeon Master|a baby chicken.]] The last episode of the series has ULTIMOOSE {{spoiler|honestly attracting Coop's [[Hot Shonen Mom|Mom]].}}
* [[Brother Chuck]]: After "Welcome to the dark tomorrow", Molecu Larz vanished without any explaination.
* [[Brother
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Dave. Ironically, his ability to ask other plants and trees for help makes him one of the most powerful (good) characters.

* [[Four
