The Backyardigans/YMMV


 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: See here
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: See here
 * Crowning Music of Awesome
 * Ear Worm: Seriously. It's a good thing for parents that the songs are as fun as they are...
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Austin, whose popularity with the viewers (especially the Periphery Demographic) is, strangely, in direct counterpoint to how often he appears on the show. It may or may not be a coincidence that the much cuddlier Pablo, Tyrone and Uniqua appear in nearly every episode and on most of the marketing.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The series is so popular in Latin America that it's easier to find fansites and videos of the show in Spanish than the original English.
 * Growing the Beard: From the second season onwards, the animation was much improved, and the music became even better.
 * Hilarity Ensues: It does!
 * Memetic Mutation: SOCCER!!!!!!
 * YETI, YETI, YETI!
 * Nightmare Retardant: "Scared of You" is based around this trope. The episode features a skeptical Austin meeting Tyrone (as The Mummy King), Uniqua (as a rather cute werewolf), and Pablo (as a vampire), all of whom are far more scared of each other. It ends with all five of the kids having a big monster dance party.
 * Periphery Demographic: Because those songs are damn catchy. Also, the animation is beautiful and the writing is smart and funny.
 * Toy Ship: Loads.
 * The Woobie: If you think about it, all five of them are. Each character has a moment of Woobie-ness but Austin is the biggest contende, especailly in "Race around the world" where he keeps losing the race.
