History WesternAnimation / GreenEggsAndHam2019

** When Sam crashes a graduation, he starts to give a speech that begins "Oh, The Places You'll Go". That happens to be a Dr. Suess book that is a very popular gift for graduates.

* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The entire journey of Guy and Sam happens over the course of less than a week.
** The entire second season takes place over the course of three weeks.

'''Guy-Am-I:'' No, I do not like them, Sam-I-Am! I do not like green eggs and ham.\\

* LoveConfession: In "Anywhere", it's briefly played for comedy when E.B. tells her mother to "spill the beans" before Agent Gluntz stops singing the criminal charges the gang racked up.
-->'''Michellee:''' I...do like you...a lot.\\
'''E.B.:''' I meant, (points at the bean jar) ''spill the beans.''\\
'''Michellee:''' Oh! Oh, I thought you were using it as an expression. Oh, great. Yeah. Now that I said ''that'', I don't even-\\

(Cue LongingLook)
** And then at the very end...it's played for real.
-->'''Michellee:''' Guy-Am-I, you are a reckless, dangerous man...(plants a BigDamnKiss on him)...and I love it!

-->'''Goat''': We can do this the easy way or the hard way, amigo.
-->'''[=McWinkle=]''': I ain't your [[{{Irony}} amigo, friend.]]

-->'''[=McWinkle=]''': I meant "let him go ''free''".

-->'''Guy:''' I was happier as a child.

-->'''Sam:''' I know exactly how lucky you are. 'Cause...[[spoiler:I never had a family.]][...] When I was very little, my mom...[[spoiler:left me at an orphanage.]]

--> '''The Narrator''': Heads up! [[LampshadeHanging Plot twist!]] Let me jump in while I can! Before that guy spoils it-
--> '''Philip Trousers''': Not today, [[spoiler: [[MissingMom Pam I-Am]]!]]
--> [...]
--> '''The Narrator''': Dang! I was dying to drop that major truth bomb! That lady's not just a spy, [[spoiler: she's also Sam's...]]
--> '''Sam''': ''[[spoiler: Mom...]]''

->'''Sam-I-Am''': You don't like green eggs and ham?\\
'''Guy-Am-I''': No, I do not like them, Sam-I-Am! I do not like green eggs and ham.\\
'''Sam-I-Am''': Understood. Question asked and answered. No further queries necessary. (''clicks tongue thoughtfully'') Have you ever ''tried'' them before?\\
'''Guy-Am-I''': No.\\
'''Sam-I-Am''': Weeeelllll, how can you be so sure you don't like 'em if you've never actually eaten them?\\
'''Guy-Am-I''': Well, I've never eaten walvark droppings, but I'm pretty certain I wouldn't enjoy those either.

The series follows friendly, optimistic Sam-I-Am (voiced by Creator/AdamDevine) and dour failed inventor Guy-Am-I (aka [[NamedByTheAdaptation the unnamed second character from the book]], voiced by Creator/MichaelDouglas) as they journey to the city of Meepville to return a rare Chickeraffe to its natural habitat before it's sold to wealthy animal collector Snerz (voiced by Creator/EddieIzzard). Along the way, they're occasionally joined by their {{distaff counterpart}}s, safety-obsessed Michellee (voiced by Creator/DianeKeaton) and her adventurous daughter E.B. (voiced by Creator/IlanaGlazer), and followed by two dangerous-looking characters called The B.A.D.G.U.Y.S., veteran animal hunter [=McWinkle=] and his rookie sidekick Gluntz (voiced by Creator/JeffreyWright and Jillian Bell, respectively), attempting to capture the animal themselves.

Their adventure takes them to many different places, including in a car, on a train, on a boat, in the rain, with a fox, in a box, in a house, with a mouse...all the while, Sam is trying to get Guy to try new things, including his TrademarkFavoriteFood.

!!The Netflix Animated Series contains examples of:

* AbortedArc: In "On Her Dookess' Secret Service", [[spoiler: Pam gets an order to [[OffingTheOffspring terminate Sam]]. However, not only does she obviously not go through with it, it also never comes up again and it's never revealed who exactly sent her the order or why.]]

** Done again in the second season: [[it looks like Pam is infiltrating the Yookia castle to stop Sam from stealing the Moo-Lacka-Moo, especially since she was hired specifically to eliminate Sam, but she actually went to the ''Zookia'' castle to stop their weapons. A spy ''does'' show up to attempt to stop Sam, but it's actually Pam's rival, Philip Trousers.]]

* EvilDuo: The BAD GUYS: Grizzled, on-the-edge-of-retirement [=McWinkle=] and exuberant, rookie Gluntz, are supposedly evil. [[spoiler:Then it’s revealed that they’re not bad guys at all, just B.A.D.G.U.Y.S.[[labelnote:*]]'''B'''ureau of '''A'''nimal '''D'''efence, '''G'''lurfsburg, '''U'''pper '''Y'''ipsville '''S'''ection[[/labelnote]]]].

** Despite being the ultimate weapon in ''The Butter Battle Book'' and its substance the Moo-Lacka-Moo playing a crucial role, the Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo doesn't make an appearance in ''The Second Serving''. [[Spoiler:Instead, the Moo-Lacka-Moo is used as a component for explosive rockets.]]

** Season 2 does not include any of the characters from ''Literature/TheButterBattleBook'' despite being an adaption of it. The young Yook, his father, and the Chief Yookaroo don't appear, and neither does Van Itch.

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: In "Train" E.B. tries to guess the password to unattach her safety bracelet from the roof of the train car. She fails, but ends up getting freed by saying the word "Password" afterwards.

* WhamShot: The end of the first episode: Guy tossing his suitcase into the fireplace...and something starts moving before the shadow reveals [[spoiler:The Chickeraffe.]]

* AdaptedOut: The two animals Sam rides in the beginning of the book and TV special are absent in this series.

* AdaptedOut: Season 2 does not include any of the characters from ''Literature/TheButterBattleBook'' despite being an adaption of it. The young Yook, his father, and the Chief Yookaroo don't appear, and neither does Van Itch.

* ActionizedSequel: Season 1 was already an ActionizedAdaptation, but it was ultimately more of a roadtrip buddy comedy with some peril here and there. Season 2, while still absolutely lighthearted and comedic in its tone, is more or less a kid-friendly [[SpyFiction spy thriller]] with multiple action scenes.

* EvilBrit: Snerz is voiced by British actor Eddie Izzard, and thus is portrayed with a British accent.

''Green Eggs and Ham'' is an [[AnimatedAdaptation animated series]] for Creator/{{Netflix}} based on the Creator/DrSeuss [[Literature/GreenEggsAndHam book of the same name]]. It was created by Jared Stern for Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation and produced by Creator/EllenDeGeneres. It is the third TV series based on Dr. Seuss's work and the first to be based solely on a particular book.[[note]]''Series/TheWubbulousWorldOfDrSeuss'' adapted characters and settings from his entire body of work for new stories, while ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHatKnowsALotAboutThat'' stars the characters from ''Literature/TheCatInTheHat'', but isn't an adaptation of the book itself.[[/note]]

* AdaptationNameChange: The "Bitzy Big Boy Boomeroo" from ''Literature/TheButterBattleBook'' is renamed "the moola-kamooo", probably to avoid a SpoilerTitle since we don't find out about its true nature until later in the second season.

* AdultFear: Michellee's character thrives on this trope: she won't let her daughter do anything fun or adventerous due to many things that could go wrong. [[spoiler:This later becomes justified when we learned that her husband died some time ago, so she's afraid for her daughter's safety.]]

* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Guy's parents follow this color scheme, as Mr. Am-I's fur is dark blue whereas Mrs. Am-I's is bright pink.

* AnAesop: Do not take things at face value; there's more to them than you first believe.

* ChainedHeat: In preparation for their trip, Michellee gets [=EB=] and herself "friendship bracelets." These accessories are more like handcuffs that magnetically latch on to each other with a press of the button so her daughter can't get too far away from her. In Season 2 [[spoiler: Michellee and Sam's wedding rings do the same thing]].
