History WesternAnimation / XiaolinShowdown

* ButtMonkey: Jack, all the time. He's constantly abused by everyone, even people on the same team as him. Incidentally, the Monkey Staff is his favorite Wu.

Perhaps best known for its surprisingly well-developed [[Characters/XiaolinShowdown central cast]], its [[AllStarCast collection of voice acting talents]], and its general [[AvertedTrope aversion]] to {{Anvilicious}} [[AnAesop Aesops]], Xiaolin Showdown was the ratings darling of the Kids WB Saturday morning block. However, it only lasted three seasons, or 52 episodes, all of which are readily available on [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/xiaolin-showdown-season-1/id578399322 iTunes]] and [[https://amzn.to/34L0FxO Amazon Prime]] (in [[{{Remaster}} widescreen and HD]], no less).

%% ** Wuya and Chase, too. Sort of.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In "Like A Rock" and "Tangled Web", the clothes of the Xiaolin Monks don't change for the showdown, whereas all later showdowns feature them in their uniforms, and is actually a plot point in the latter, with Kimiko's dress severely restricting her movements.

** In a Season 2 episode, Clay is seen playing with [[RealMenWearPink a number of dolls]] (most of them resemble {{Transformers}} dressed as cowboys, along with a dinosaur and a covered wagon). This is [[SorryToInterrupt funny enough]] on its own, but they reappear in "Life and Times of Hannibal Roy" (Season 3, Episode 3) being played with by Raimundo, Kimiko, and Omi.

* OffModel: A couple in the theme song. When they show all the villains standing side by side near the end, Wuya becomes TOO [[ExpressiveMask expressive]] and looks waaaay too happy and her eyes don't even appear to have spirals. Before that, they show pictures of Chase Young's dragon form, Katnappe, Panda Bubba and Mala Mala Jong. The problem is with Chase Young, as his legs appear cartoonishly small and he looks as a result more lizard than dragon.

* RoboticTortureDevice: In "Judging Omi", Jack builds a Tickle Bot. He ties the monks (except Omi) to a bord and uses the device to tickle them in order for them to divulge the combination to the vault.

* FourElementEnsemble: The Xiaolin Dragons -- Omi (water), Kimiko (fire), Raimundo (wind), and Clay (earth).
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Kimiko is choleric, Omi is melancholic, Raimundo is sanguine, and Clay is phlegmatic.

* StylisticSuck: In Hannibal's Revenge, the heroes need to build up Jack's confidence for their plan, so after faking several tricks they show him a movie of what the other villains ''really'' think of him. "Wuya" and "Chase" are quite obviously Omi and Clay each holding a PaperThinDisguise over their faces (and you can see all of Clay's head at one point when he let's the plate slip, "Hannibal Bean" is drawn on Kimiko's thumb, and you can see her face while manipulating him, and to add insult to injury Dojo walks through the background at one point and Raimundo tells him to stop ruining the shot. Jack is completely fooled.
** Even earlier Jack replaces Kimiko with his Chameleon bot. Chameleon bot is ludicrously perky compared to Kimiko, repeatedly calls Jack Spicer "Hunky," and doesn't know basic things about Kimiko's life and routine that should have given her away instantly. The real kicker is that at one point Chameleon bot actually suffers from buffering, during which it verbally loads and processes data while unable to perceive the outside world. Naturally the Xiaolin Dragons are completely fooled.
