And that's the premise behind ''Yvon of the Yukon'', an award-winning UsefulNotes/{{Canad|a}}ian animated GrossoutShow created by voice actors Creator/IanJamesCorlett and Terry Klassen, both of whom are most famous for their work in dubbing anime for Creator/TheOceanGroup.[[note]]Yup!

A beloved and iconic series in YTV's lineup of original productions, ''Yvon of the Yukon'' can perhaps serve as an idiosyncratic example of what Canada's cartoons have to offer.

%%* IceCreamKoan: Bill Tukyuk (Tommy's father) often tells his son some storys for guidance and advice. Much to Tommy's annoyance.

* AnachronismStew: The tricolore became the French flag during the 18th century's UsefulNotes/FrenchRevolution .
* BerserkButton: Do not insult King Louie with Yvon close by. [[InvokedTrope A button Tommy continuously pushes]] to get Yvon in a scrappy mood when Yvon became a wrestler, while accusing the enemy of slander.
%%* BigBeautifulWoman: Big Mary, at least to Harland and Yvon.
%%* ButtMonkey: Yvon, both in the past and in the present day.
%%* CampGay: Gary
%%* CanadaEh: It's Canadian ''and it shows''.
* ConsolationWorldRecord: The entire town tries to break a world record in order to get back on the map (it had been removed due to being a small town with a long name), but their repeated attempts drive the records guy insane until he gives them the world record for "Craziest Town in the World".
* DisneyAcidSequence: In the MusicalEpisode mentioned below where Yvon's visit to Easter Island get's warped compared to other areas he visited. Complete with an living Chocolate Bunny and Maoi statues shaped like the Duke.
%%* DoesNotLikeShoes: %%One of the characters is almost always barefoot.
* EskimoLand: The show is set in the small town of Upyermukluk, set in the far north. It has a large Inuit population, but unlike many examples of this trope, the town is not made of igloos, but is a permanent settlement with proper wooden buildings. The locals, while quirky, are also not particularly stereotypical of Natives, and there are many non-native characters.

%%* ExpositoryThemeTune

%%* FrenchJerk: King Louis whenever we see him in Yvon's flashbacks.

%%* GettingCrapPast TheRadar: Literally.

%%* KidSidekick: Tommy Tukyuk.

* MushroomSamba: The side-effect of eating fondue made with three-hundred year old cheese Yvon brought to the pot luck dinner in one episode.

* MyBelovedSmother: Willy Tidwell's mother, Babs Tidwell is a rather dark example. In the only episode she appeared in, she tried to ''kill'' Yvon after hearing how much a pain Yvon had been to Willy.
%%* NeverSayDie: Averted.
%%* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Willy Tidwell.

* StartMyOwn: Yvon had started his own restaurant serving French cuisine, after Bill barred him from the Mad Cossack for Yvon's complaining.
%%* ThoseTwoGuys: Chuck and Dill. Harland and the Duke in some occasions.
* TongueOnTheFlagpole: Harland and the Duke find themselves lost in the middle of the arctic tundra when they come across a set of train tracks. Wondering if a train is coming, Harland gives the sage advice: "If you stick your tongue to the train track and it doesn't stick, then a train has gone by, and if it does stick, then a train is coming". The Duke tries this, and naturally gets his tongue stuck to the tracks.

* WeaponizedStench: In "License to Smell", Yvon recounts how his beloved King Louis would use his body odor as a weapon, [[OneManArmy personally defeating whole armies of his enemies]]. Yvon himself receives the titular license after his own rank stench -- which is bad enough to peel paint, make fish crawl out of the water, evoke a respectful salute from a [[SmellySkunk skunk]] and generate a forcefield-like bubble around his house -- ends up saving the town from a huge swarm of killer bees.

The time and place is 17th-century France. Yvon Ducharme, a courtier in the palace of King UsefulNotes/LouisXIV and proud servant of the French monarchy, is sent on a voyage to explore North America and claim land in the name of his country's glory. Unfortunately, Yvon's poor navigation skills sends him far off his intended course and into the frigid waters of Canada's northern Arctic coast, where the hapless Frenchman's boat rams into an iceberg, knocking Yvon overboard and [[HumanPopsicle cryogenically freezing him in a block of ice]]!

300 years later in Canada's Yukon territory, an Inuit teenager named Tommy Tukyuk is travelling through the icy wastes when his sled dog comes down with the need to [[UrineTrouble answer nature's call]]. And as luck would have it, the dog's need for relief ends up thawing out Yvon's icy prison and reviving the French explorer. Yvon is quick to befriend Tommy and settles in Tommy's snowy backwater home, the QuirkyTown of Upyermukluk, AKA "the hottest cold town in the Arctic, midway between Shivermetimbers and Frostbottom Falls". And thus HilarityEnsues as Yvon, who believes that France is still being ruled by his beloved King Louis, attempts to adjust to life in the Yukon alongside his colorful new neighbors, who are happy to accept the presence of this strange little man from another era (and his lack of good hygiene)... so long as his antics don't cause ''too much'' trouble.
