''Centaurworld'' was released on July 30, 2021. The first episode, "Hello Rainbow Road", was released a few days early on Website/{{Youtube}} as a preview for the series. The second and final season premiered on December 7th, 2021.

* SpiritualSuccessor: With the constant whiplash from silly jokes to massive trauma or scary things, ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.

** When Comfortable Doug tells an imprisoned Wammawink that she needs to make her accidental slaying of one of the two Minotaurs guarding her a double-homicide, he says the ''Series/LawAndOrder'' "dun dun" sound effect out loud.

%% *GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to rampant misuse, this example was removed. Please check the trope page definition to make sure your example fits. Odds are it belongs in ParentalBonus or DemographicallyInappropriateHumour instead.

* AerithAndBob: Most names in Centaurworld are quite silly (such as Wammawink and Durpleton), highlighted when Horse creates the "Horsatia Wighair Beansz?" alias for herself and it actually works. However, some centaurs with normal names exist, such as Durpleton's father Tony (his mother's name is the sillier Gurple) or the shaman Johnny Teatime. Comfortable Doug also has a human name, but it's nullified by the fact the "Comfortable" descriptor is part of his proper name.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[spoiler:During the end credits for the final episode, Comfortable Doug addresses the audience in voiceover, thanking them for watching the entire series and even singing a portion of his signature song. He also comments on how very few people actually watch the credits.]]

** ''Johnny Teatime's Be Best Competition: A Quest for the Sash'' makes a couple of musical theater references. Cat Valley is overall just one huge reference to Theatre/{{Cats}}, their opening song even sounds an awful lot like "The Jellicle Ball". And during "We Do This Everyday" in a FreezeFrameBonus it, moment there's a couple of parodies of the posters for ''Theatre/AFunnyThingHappenedOnTheWayToTheForum'' and ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''.

** In the Season 1 Recap Song, it's shown that Horse is having a difficult time rallying up an army, in part because these are a people who never fought a war, and in part because of Horse' less than tactful ways of obtaining the Key pieces. The Tree Shamans even point out that they won't help because Horse and Ched kicked the Big Tree over, stole their part of the Key, and ran.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Glendale's "portal tummy" is occasionally used for pregnancy gags or possibly lampshaded toilet humor, a few fans have likened her kleptomania to pica.

** In the final episode, when the herd discusses the serious morality of a GuiltFreeExterminationWar against the Minotaurs, Stabby cheerfully mentions how many of the Minotaurs killed each other by friendly fire... and demonstrates by accidentally killing one while gesticulating. Only then does realization hit and he remarks, "I have so many corpses on my conscience."

** Played strait in the events as we see them, but inverted for the world's timeline are "Where Does Food Come From?" and "He Never Said Anything Nice", of all songs with both melodies tying into Durpleton's abandonment by his parents. Which is the reprise depends on whose perspective you take since the reprises are in later episodes, but also take place inside a memory.

* KarmaHoudini: In most children's shows you would expect Glendale's kleptomania to result in some form of consequences at least once before the end of the series, it never happens. The closest she comes is wanted posters of her being visible throughout the underground in episode 14 resulting in the arrest of an [[IdenticalStranger]].

* FreudianExcuse: A non-villainous example with the centaurs. When she suspects that Wammawink's herd isn't entirely happy with their same old routine, Horse figures out why they are obnoxiously fun-loving and cartoony. Sure, the may have magic at their convenience, and they get to do fun and wacky things with it all the time. But then Horse catches on: they sing songs and use their magic for crazy shenanigans because it's to make up for how they never leave the valley and therefore, [[GildedCage their lives get boring quite easily]].

** Played strait in the events as we see them, but inverted for the world's timeline are "Where Does Food Come From?" and "He Never Said Anything Nice", of all songs with both melodies tying into Durpleton's abandonment by his parents. Which is the reprise depends on who's perspective you take since the reprises are in later episodes, but also take place inside a memory.

** The "Welcome to Centaurworld" number has this at one point when Centaurworld's own previous conflict with the minotaurs is mentioned, only for everyone else to immediately point out that they agreed not o talk about it.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Glendale's "portal tummy" is occasionally used for pregnancy gags, and a line from the song in her backstory segment includes revealing that it's the portal itself that causes the compulsion that "everything and everyone must ''go inside''" and implies that her parents have also gone inside her "portal tummy" and that's why they're not her parents anymore, not to mention that the stuff she crams in there only has any value to her while she's looking at it; it gives the impression that "kleptomania" is a rating-safe alternative to what would otherwise be a form of compulsive hypersexuality.

** In the Season 2 trailer Horse finds out that because Horse is staying in Centaurworld Rider needed to get a substitute steed to do her job in the human world.

* UpliftedAnimal: Horse is a normal horse in her world, but simply being in Centaurworld grants her human-like intelligence, the capacity of speech, and the dexterity necessary to perform human actions like pointing. She is extremely surprised at this turn of events.
