History WebAnimation / OllieAndScoops

*** Claudia's parents are pretty much Gomez and Morticia Addams. Her dad's name is Edgar, possibly alluding to Creator/EdgarAllenPoe, whom Creator/JeffreyCombs has played on-stage.

*** In the same episode, Scoops briefly jumps up and down going "Hoo-hoo!" like WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck.

* {{Goth}}: The Creepy Girl (that's her name in the credits) Ollie befriends in "Vinnie Video".

* {{Nerd}}: Ollie, although downplayed. She has the glasses, the reedy voice, and somewhat frumpy clothing but she's pretty normal despite her whole deal with being able to talk to cats, and isn't really ostracized by anyone (apart from SitcomArchNemesis, Julia Goldberger) though one classmate does refer to her as weird. A boy classmate also has a crush on her.

* WholePlotReference: "Old Crumplecranks" is based on certain Creator/FleischerStudios cartoons, especially ''WesternAnimation/MinnieTheMoocher'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheOldManOfTheMountain''. Poopsie and Rudy decide they don't like living in the city and opt to run away to Mount Cattywumpus. The other cats warn the two about an evil, murderous cat named Old Crumplecranks who lives there, but the two cats ignore the warnings and go to Mount Cattywumpus anyway. Old Crumplecranks shows up and sings a VillainSong introducing himself. To hammer it in, the InkblotCartoonStyle and jazz music are used frequently in the episode, and some direct quotes, like the Old Man of the Mountain's "[I'm] gonna do the best I can," are used in the episode.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In "Warm Cream", Ollie gets upset with Scoops and wishes she couldn't understand cats. She is regretful the moment she says it, but Scoops is hurt by this and decides to run away from home. [[spoiler:Later in the episode, Ollie confronts Terry Bumble over the way he treats his cats, making him realize what he has done and does a HeelFaceTurn.]]

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Scoops' voice is modeled after Gobo from Series/FraggleRock.

* CoolTeacher: Miss Bivvin, and to a lesser extent Miss Whippleworth. They’re both teachers who love binge-watching shows and are good to their students.

* PictureDay: The second episode, "Funny Face", revolves around this with Ollie vying for a more visible spot in the class photo because she's always been in the back .

** Ollie's design has some specific inspirations in terms of her outfit such as her sweater being based off of Babs Bunny from WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures and her glasses being based off the lesser-known Euchariah from the special, WesternAnimation/HalloweenIsGrinchNight.

** In "Pizza Pilot", the cats listen to music by [[Music/LadyGaga Lady Meow Meow]].

** In the same episode, Scoops briefly jumps up and down going "Hoo-hoo!" like WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck.

* RealAfterAll: In "Vinnie Video", Merle and Brunk are attacking stores disguised as "wolpertingers", half-bat half-rabbit creatures. Later, when they threaten Ollie and Scoops, real wolpertingers are summoned by a clip from a Billy-Bob movie to save them.

* ADayInTheLimelight:
** "Student of the Month" focuses a lot more on Julia Goldberger and her dilemma over not being [[TitleDrop student of the month]] which was instead rewarded to Ollie (and Scoops).
** "Old Crumplecranks" focuses on the cats Poopsie and Rudy, using them as stand-ins for WesternAnimation/BettyBoop and Bimbo as a WholePlotReference to ''WesternAnimation/MinnieTheMoocher'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheOldManOfTheMountain''.
** "Tutor Suitor" has Miss Bivvins developing a crush on Ollie's science teacher Miss Whippleworth and when Ollie hears about this, she tries to get them together by [[HilarityEnsues any means necessary]].

* GothGirl: The Creepy Girl (that's her name in the credits) Ollie befriends in "Vinnie Video".

* WhatHaveIDone: In "Warm Cream", Ollie gets upset with Scoops and wishes she couldn't understand cats. She is regretful the moment she says it, but Scoops is hurt by this and decides to run away from home. [[spoiler:Later in the episode, Ollie confronts Terry Bumble over the way he treats his cats, making him realize what he has done and does a HeelFaceTurn.]]

*** Morko & Ungus, a movie that Ollie uses as an example of a dog and cat getting along, is an obvious parody of Film/TheAdventuresOfMiloAndOtis, down to its [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTQ2NjEyNjUyM15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwMTYxMjY5._V1_.jpg VHS cover]].

* InconsistentEpisodeLengths: Episode lengths vary widely. The longest episode is "Warm Cream" (18 minutes, 4 seconds) and the shortest episode is either "Funny Face" (4 minutes, 47 seconds) or "Episode 4" (1 minute, 53 seconds). Due to the latter simply being an animated music video set to an original song, it depends if a viewer even considers it an episode despite being labeled as such.

** The Bad Tempered Cinema Geek, from the episode "Vinnie Video", is practically a parody expy of his voice actor, Creator/JamesRolfe (specifically his WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd character) being a foul-mouth, ill-tempered online critic.
** The Billy-Bob movie character and his film series are an obvious homage of Film/ErnestPWorrell as well as the subsequent films.
** On "Vinnie Video", when Ollie and Scoops are entering the video store, a sign appears next to them stating that a movie called "All Fish Go to Purgatory" was playing, which is a call-out to ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven''.
** In the same episode, The Bad Tempered Cinema Geek stating that an animator on the show should've been fired for a "blunder" is a direct nod to the hardcore fan scene from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show". This is fitting since creator Nico Colaleo is a huge Simpsons fan.

* TheCatCameBack: In "Tutor Suitor", Miss Bivvins tries to get away from Ollie and Scoops after the disastrous date they set up for her. But no matter where she goes -- her apartment, a movie theater, a ''deserted island'' -- Ollie, Scoops and Miss Whippleworth are there for another try
