History WesternAnimation / BlinkyBill

** Also the two titular bird smugglers Neil and Christopher in the episode "Blinky Bill and the Bird Smugglers" are this to the titular smugglers Mr. Sprag and Scarface in the ''[[WesternAnimation/DotAndTheKangaroo Dot & the Kangaroo]]'' sequel ''Dot and the Smugglers''.

* HatesBeingCalledCute: Danny tends to calls Blinky's gang "kids" or "kindies", which Marcia '''absolutely despises'''.

* {{Expy}}: Claire from the pilot movie (possibly) for [[{{WesternAnimation/DotAndTheKangaroo}} Dot]].

* [[ManOfAThousandVoices Man (and Woman) of a Thousand Voices]]: Robyn Moore and Keith Scott [[TalkingToHimself were the only two voice actors for the first two seasons]], but they more than made up for it with their insanely impressive vocal range, allowing for each of their characters to sound distinct.

* MythologyGag: The 2015 reboot movie and its 2016 follow-up series features the iconic Blinky design from the "classic" series [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/blinkybill/images/5/51/KJR_1.jpg/ as a giant, slightly dilapidated sign above a convenience store.]]

The first two seasons are available to watch for free on Website/{{YouTube}} [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaW_NSM_5c1ItNSF0XbrFQpLJEdqtnQI5 here]], with the third season available [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw2NYq6zGlbki4VDa8s7HXDFMpfVsNt1T here]]. For those in UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates and UsefulNotes/{{Canada}}, the first two seasons are also available to stream on Tubi TV [[https://tubitv.com/series/1773/blinky_bill here]].

'''Blinky Bill''' is the anthropomorphic koala protagonist of an [[UsefulNotes/{{Australia}} Australian]] book series written by author Dorothy Wall in the 1930s. The books inspired an animated series beginning in 1993, titled '''''The Adventures of Blinky Bill''''', which was produced as a follow-up to the 1992 animated movie ''Blinky Bill: The Mischievous Koala''. The animated series, by far the most well-known version of the character internationally, was produced by Creator/YoramGross and ran for two series on [[Creator/TheABC ABC]] from 1993-95 (the second series titled ''[[NewSeasonNewName Blinky Bill's Extraordinary Excursion]]''), with a third series (titled ''[[NewSeasonNewName Blinky Bill's Around the World Adventures]]'') airing on Creator/SevenNetwork in 2004.

* PantyShot: This occurs frequently with Nutsy.
** This also happens to Ms. Pimm in "Blinky Bill's Holiday".

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode of the first two seasons was named either "Blinky Bill's (X)", [[CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase "Blinky (Bill) and the (X)"]], or more rarely, "Blinky (Bill) (Does a Plot-Related Thing)". The only exceptions to this were season 1's "Detective Blinky", "Mayor Blinky Bill" and "Who is Blinky Bill?", and season 2's "Blinky the Hypnotist", "Blinky Bill is Kidnapped" and "Blinky and Gretel".
** Mostly [[AvertedTrope averted]] when season 3 dropped the naming scheme, but there were titles that were similar to the first two seasons, being "Flap's New Family", "Leo Leads the Way", "Blinky's Birthday Surprise", "Operation Free Flap", "Tico's Choice", "Poisoned Penelope", "Tico Takes Charge" and "Blinky Bill Superstar".

** Prior to entering said store, Reboot!Blinky [[ThemeTuneCameo sings the chorus]] of the 90s' series [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgqhUqbLUmA theme song]] to himself.

The series got a {{CGI}} [[ContinuityReboot reboot]] in 2015 as a coproduction betweeen Yoram Gross (under its new name, Flying Bark Productions) and [[UsefulNotes/{{Belgium}} Belgian]] animation studio Creator/{{Studio100}} (who now also co-owns the rights to the original series with Yoram Gross/Flying Bark), starting with a theatrical film, which was then followed by a new series in 2016. Needless to say, [[BrokenBase fans were divided on whether going CGI was good at all, and even the new character designs were a point of contention]].

** In "Monkey See, Monkey Do", after being invited to join the Temple Guardians, the monkeys all celebrate with a wedgie war. With Yoyo giving Flap a wedgie as well.

* Wedgie: Quite a few in season three.

** Mostly [[AvertedTrope averted]] when season 3 dropped the naming scheme, but there were titles that were similar to the first two seasons, being "Flap's New Family", "Leo Leads the Way", "Blinky's Birthday Surprise", "Tico's Choice" and "Tico Takes Charge".
