History WesternAnimation / TuttleTwins

Tuttle Twins is a crowdfunded animated EdutainmentShow created by Daniel Harmon.[[note]][[NamesTheSame Not to be confused with]] Creator/DanHarmon.[[/note]] The show is based on the book series of the same name created by Conner Boyack, who is also one of the show's executive producers. The first episode, "When Laws Give You Lemons" debuted on October 12th, 2021. Every episode can be viewed on Website/YouTube and on the Angel Studios app ''for free.''

** Turns out Karrine's parents made ''very'' sure [[DaddysLittleVillain she took after them]] in this regard.

-->'''Gabby:''' [[LampshadeHanging It's true.]] [[ProductPlacement [=DuckDuckGo=] it.]]

* HowWeGotHere: The first episode begins with all the main characters traveling through time and space while struggling to hold on. Grandma Gabby worries that they aren’t going to make it, then the episode rewinds to 12 hours... whoops! ''11 hours'' prior. [[spoiler:When we return to that scene, it turns out Gabby was only bluffing [[BreakingTheFourthWall and just wanted to provide the opening scene with some fake suspense, then she winks at the camera.]]]]

* QuotingMyself: When Gahndi explains how revenge is wrong, he quotes himself by saying "An eye for an eye make's the whole world blind." This immediately gets lampshaded by Ethan.

** The "lemonade" that the twins kindly give to Karrine at the end of the first episode may or may not be ''urine.'' If it is, then it's most likely to be payback for taking away their lemonade stand in the beginning.

** [[spoiler: Karrine works as some kind of junior agent for a yet-unspecified organization that is waiting for the opportunity to arrest Gabby.]]

* CliffHanger: Episode 11, the penultimate episode of the first season, ends with [[spoiler: Grandma Gabby getting arrested as a result of Karrine spying on her.]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Karrine works as some kind of junior agent for a yet-unspecified organization that is waiting for the opportunity to arrest Gabby.]]

* OverlyLongName: Gabby's is [[GivenNameReveal revealed]] to be Gabriela de la Nueve de los Santos Ron-Pablo-Jones. Justified in that Hispanic names can get rather lengthy, but it also translates to the rather absurd, "Gabriela of the Nine of the Saints Ron-Paul-Jones."

* TakeThat: The show, made for children, shamelessly pokes fun at communists.
-->'''Gabby''': Vamanos! We have places to go, people to see, ''[[DirtyCommunists communists]]'' [[BreadMilkEggsSquick to offend!]]

-->'''Karrine''': What?

->''"Vamanos! We have places to go, people to see, [[DirtyCommunists communists]] [[BreadMilkEggsSquick to offend!]]"''

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Derek is the instigator of most of these, from trying to eat or drink things belonging to the HistoricalDomainCharacter of the week to [[ItMakesSenseInContext stealing a cow to go on a date.]]

* TheGoldenRule: The primary theme for "War of the Worms". This is explained to the Tuttles by none other than UsefulNotes/MahatmaGandhi, who is a strong follower of the concept.

** The Tuttles visit an actual Flat Earth, also known as "Flearth", in "Cake, Pies, and Flat Earth Guys". Funnily enough, [[UpToEleven everything on Flearth is also flat;]] from cardboard-cutout trees and buildings to PaperPeople.

* FromBadToWorse: As "War of the Worms" explores the theme of the CycleOfRevenge, this trope is in full swing. From what started off as a big KickTheDog moment from Karrine[[labelnote: Note]] She vandalizes the Tuttle's team flag, with the flagpole almost crushing the two, resulting in Ethan and Carl getting soaked in mud and almost inadvertently destroying Emily's science project, ''all at ONCE.''[[/labelnote]], [[PayEvilUntoEvil to Emily getting even with her through an overnight prank,]] [[EscalatingWar things get ''waaaaay'' out of hand!]] Pretty soon, the entire science camp is turned into a prank warzone, and everyone's science projects get ruined. By the end, [[UpToEleven if you thought it couldn't get any worse]], it got to the point where some students attempt to ''drown Copernicus in a lake!''

* MisplacedWildlife: Gabby finds and adopts the first Derek as a child living in Cuba. Raccoons were extirpated from Cuba in the 17th century.

* MisplacedWildlife: Gabby finds and adopts the first Derek as a child living in Cuba. Raccoons are not native to Cuba.

* MagicalAmpersands: Crisis & Creatures.

* LevelAte: The second half of "Pencils, Pirates & Ice Cream People" takes place in, as the title suggests, Ice Cream Land.
-->'''[[SweetTooth Ethan]]''': Grandma?? Are we in ''heaven?''
-->'''Gabby''': I dunno. I've only been to the ''other'' place. [[BaitAndSwitch Congress!]]
* LookBehindYou: Used in "War of the Worms". When Gabby and the Twins try to go back in time without being spotted, Gabby distracts the other kids by saying that UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla is here with a time machine. When the kids turned around to look, ...he's actually there! [[BrickJoke The same gag is used again later on.]]

* AnAesop: For every episode, there is a moral to be learned. Sometimes, during the second half of each episode, the main characters run out of knowledge juice and are trapped in another world. For them to return home, they must learn a lesson, which helps refill their fuel tank with knowledge juice.
