History WesternAnimation / ChalkZone

* ArtAttacker: While in Chalkzone Rudy can create anything he needs by drawing it with his magic chalk. Outside of Chalk Zone anything anyone draws with any chalk and erases becomes real inside Chalkzone.

** In "The Quicksand Man", the knowledge that [[spoiler:scraping a chalkboard in the real world sounds ''LOUDER AND WORSE'' in Chalkzone is used to defeat the title character]].

** In one episode, Rudy thought of hiding his father’s birthday present, which was an automated vacuum cleaner in Chalk Zone. Considering how vacuum absorbs any type of dust, this idea goes as well as you would expect.

* HoaxHogan: While the name may speak of someone else, Thor Throat had all the mannerisms and personality quirks of Hulk Hogan's heel persona. His Chalk Zoner doppleganger turned the bombastic personality up even more so, but embodied the more heroic aspects of the Hogan character as a face. Two for the price of one!

* JusticeByOtherLegalMeans: Reggie is a bully who often gets away with it, but gets blamed for things Rudy and Penny do in the Chalk Zone that wind up affecting the normal world.

* MultilingualSong: "Escucha Mi Corazón" is mainly in Spanish but has an English section, on top of the "Escucha Mi Corazón in Chalk Zone" lyrics.

* AndIMustScream: The final fate of the titular antagonist from "Snap vs. Boorat". The Boorat ends up sprayed with a substance that Rudy used earlier to keep a chalk drawing from smearing, causing him to become unable to move.

%% * BigEater: Bruno Bullnerd.

%% * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Reggie Bullnerd

%% * CutenessOverload: Snap of all people often falls victim to this. Sometimes complete with BabyTalk.

%% * TheDitz: Joe Tabootie

%% * LargeHam: Reggie Bullnerd

%% * LaserHallway: In "Power Play".

%%* RealIsBrown: Rudy and Penny's world consists mostly of brown and olive colors.

* WhatTheHellHero: Penny calls Rudy out when he uses Chalk Zone to get a passing grade in science fair, and in turn making it seem like he achieved perpetual motion ([[IdiotHero since he forgot to draw a power source]]).

** Just ''don't'' tell Snap that he's PluckyComicRelief.

%% * PluckyComicRelief: Snap, [[BerserkButton but do not tell him that.]]

* FatAndSkinny: In "The Label Police", the titular cops consist of an obese guy and a skinny guy, looking somewhat like a cartoonish Laurel and Hardy.

* CatchPhrase: Snap's "Oy Coloy!" whenever something goes wrong.

* AllJustADream: "The White Board" ends with the revelation that Rudy's journey to White Board Zone was just a dream.

** There were several episodes involving Snap hosting a show where he had another Zoner shoot footage of [=ChalkZone=] wildlife or snoop on another Zoner. The episodes were "Beanie Boys to Men" (where Spy Fly was sent to observe Skrawl's minions undergo their training), "Wild [=ChalkZone=]" (where Snap tried to get Push to shoot footage of the blechy bugs), and "Journey to the Center of the Yeti" (where Spy Fly was sent to find proof of other life forms hiding in the fur of the Yadda Yadda Yeti from "That Thing You Drew".

* StumbledIntoThePlot: How Rudy ended up being protector of Chalkzone was because he found a piece of magic chalk during detention at school one day.

* SugarBowl: The titular Chalkzone is usually a whimsical and magical place.

* TemporaryBulkChange: Goes hand in hand with chalkzone being a cartoon. The amount of times Snap has stuffed himself and become rotund has even landed ''[=Chalkzone=]'' a page on The Big Cartoon Wiki.

* [[VerbalTic Voibal Tic]]: Right, bucko?

* LetsMeetTheMeat: In one episode Snap comes across a talking burger than begs to be eaten. Snap is understandably freaked out about it. Especially when it has lines like this:
--> Just as Snap is about to eat it: [[BlackHumor "Woo hoo! I'm headin' for Heaven!"]]
** Throughout the episode Snap runs into a lot of other foods that also ''really'' want him to eat them.

* ManChild: All the adults in "Water Water, Everywhere" end up behaving like playful children after exposure to chalk water that entered the real world because of Rudy accidentally drew a portal into the Wait N' See.

* LivingDrawing: The premise of the series is that every chalk drawing lives in a dimension made of chalk, brought to existence as soon as it's drawn. The chalk-drawn characters, then, are all sentient beings within the [=ChalkZone=].

* ManChild: All the adults in Water Water, Everywhere. Justified in that Rudy accidentally drew a portal into the Wait N' See and the water somehow made the adults child-like.

* InterspeciesRomance: The episode My Big Fat Chalk Wedding gives us Bobby Sue, a zoner created by a little girl who developed a crush on Rudy after he helped her with her project. Bobby Sue shares this crush and constantly pursued Rudy in the episode, trying to get him to marry her.

* UngratefulBastard: Skrawl qualifies in his debut episode, where he forces Rudy to try and fix his appearance while holding several Zoners hostage. He concedes that Rudy did a god job, but decides to drop everyone to their doom anyway.

* VisualPun: Considering this was ''{{VideoGame/Scribblenauts}}: The TV Show'', it was rife with this. For example, to contact Biclops in one episode, Rudy draws up some "homing bacon". As in a piece of flying bacon with a robot voice.

* RealFakeDoor: one of Rudy's attempts to get into the impenetrable forest is to use his magic chalk to draw a door. Doors created this way usually work, but this door opens up straight into a wall of more tree trunks.

* Skrawl and Crainiac's scheme of using a robot double of Rudy in "Double Trouble" was only possible because Rudy and Penny erased a robot with multiple features into [=ChalkZone=] and were so distracted by their squabble that they didn't foresee the ramifications of the robot running amuck and falling into the wrong hands.

''[=ChalkZone=]'' (2002-2008) is a {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} cartoon that, like fellow Nicktoon ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', began as a series of shorts on ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons''. Despite similarities with a former Pinwheel (now Nickelodeon) cartoon with the same premise, ''WesternAnimation/SimonInTheLandOfChalkDrawings2002'', creator Bill Burnett has confirmed that ''[=ChalkZone=]'' is not a SpiritualSuccessor.

* GoryDiscretionShot: Used in "The Big Blow Up" when Biclops shows Rudy, Penny, and Snap what happens when Balloonemia takes its toll.

%% * DisneyDeath: Rudy gets this in "Double Trouble" (where Robot Rudy appears to take him out, but he comes to after Snap rushes over and pleads him to say something), "The Big Blow Up," and "Tiny Pirate Problem" (where he returns to stop the tiny pirates after BriarPatching Red Facial Hair into making him walk the plank).

%% * DisneyDeath: Rudy gets this in "Double Trouble" (where Robot Rudy appears to take him out, but he comes to after Snap rushes over and pleads him to say something), "The Big Blow Up," and "Tiny Pirate Problem."

* RightBehindMe: The ''Oh Yeah'' short "Rudy's Date" has Penny point out to Snap that Butch Biceps is behind hi after Snap had just insulted Butch by saying he's as dumb as he is ugly.

%% * MindControlEyes: In the episode "Skrawl's Brain", the eponymous brain's powers give her victims spiral eyes.

%% * SugarBowl: The titular Chalkzone. Though not always.

%% * ThoseTwoGuys: Reggie & Bruno Bullnerd

** Now honestly... who thought creating Craniac 4 would solve Rudy's problems?

* WritingLines: In the first episode, Rudy is assessed this punishment which leads to him discovering [=ChalkZone=]. His sentence is "Cartoons are not funny."
%% * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Joe Tabootie, Mr. Wilter & both Bullnerds in "Water, Water Everywhere"
