18	A Canadian children's show from 2005, made by Creator/CookieJar. It starred a band known as The Doodlebops, who were all [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation brightly colored]] and consisted of Moe, the drummer, Deedee, the pianist, and Rooney, the guitarist. The show's episodes can be roughly divided into two halves, the first of which showed the Doodlebops in whatever situation before going to perform at their concert, and the second of which comprised their concert performances, which consisted of a few songs, at least one of which had AnAesop in them.

20	----
21	!!This show contains examples of:
22	* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: In "Deedee, Superstar", Deedee receives praise from a magazine and becomes beyond narcissistic and boastful, leaving Moe and Rooney to feel left out and assume she may leave the band.
23	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The Doodlebops themselves - Rooney is blue, Deedee is pink/purple, and Moe is yellow. The reason for this was to make them look like real life cartoon characters.
24	* AnimatedAdaptation: The show got an animated spinoff, called ''The Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show''.
25	* BandToon: A live-action example, and also an inversion - the eponymous band was originally made exclusively for the show, but the show got popular enough to warrant the Doodlebops performing a few concerts in real life.
26	* {{Bookends}}: The show [[EveryEpisodeEnding always ended]] with an end-of-episode version of the theme song, effectively bookending the episodes with said song.
27	* ChristmasEpisode: "The Doodlebops Holiday Show".
28	* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Deedee is [[CheeryPink pink]], Rooney is [[BlueIsCalm blue]], and Moe is [[VibrantOrange orange]].
29	* DisneyAcidSequence: The recording studio scenes feature this as the Doodlebops are rehearsing the song for the episode.
30	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Rooney does not like cauliflower, as shown in the episode "Cauliflower Power" where the other Doodlebops find this out and try to get him to eat some.
31	* DoubleDoubleTitle: One episode is titled "Tap Tap Tap".
32	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first season.
33	* EpisodeTitleCard: The title of the episode is displayed during a pan through Doodlebop Central. The first season has it in reality, but the second season changes it to a 2D animated image before transitioning to live-action.
34	* FakeInteractivity: Particularly at the beginning of episodes, where sometimes Rooney and Deedee will ask the viewers if they know where Moe is hiding.
35	* ForbiddenFruit: "Don't pull the rope!"
36	* HeightAngst: In "Growing Moe", Moe gets frustrated that he's not tall enough to do certain things and wishes he would grow faster.
37	* IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam: The episode "Cauliflower Power" is about Moe and Deedee finding out that Rooney doesn't like cauliflower because he has never eaten it. They try to get him to eat some to see if he'll like it, to no avail... until right before their concert, where he decides to try it and ends up admitting it's actually not bad.
38	* InvoluntaryDance: The episode "Tap Tap Tap" is about Deedee buying new tap-dancing shoes, which turn out to be magic and cause her to dance perpetually.
39	* OppositeDay: The episode "Gibble Gobber Nabber Gabber" has the Doodlebops do their usual routine the wrong way, specifically Deedee speaking backwards, the band switching their instruments, and most specifically, Moe is actually asked to pull the rope when usually he is warned not to. Despite this, Moe doesn't pull the rope. Instead, the rope pulls Moe, but he ''still'' gets water dumped on him.
40	* PepTalkSong:
41	** "Keep Trying" from the eponymous episode, as Deedee and Moe encourage Rooney to not give up at trying to play his Honkophone.
42	** "Count to 10" from "The Bad Day" is a CountingSong to encourage the listener to calm down when in a bad mood.
43	* RhymesOnADime: Mazz, the Doodlebops' manager for the show's first season, spoke like this.
44	* RobotMe: In "Robo-Moe", Rooney invents a robotic version of Moe who is more quiet and less messy than the real Moe.
45	* SayMyName: The Bops somtimes yell out Mazz's name if they need help in season 1.
46	* SettingOffSong: "Get on the Bus", the OncePerEpisode dance number as the Doodlebops board their tour bus and get ready to head for their concert.
47	* ShoutOut: One episode is titled "Bird is the Word", a reference to the song "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen.
48	* StrictlyFormula: First comes the half of the episode taking place in the Doodlebops' house, which always contains the following events, in the following order: Rooney and Deedee introducing themselves, realizing Moe hasn't showed up yet, and eventually finding him hiding somewhere in the house; the Doodlebops singing the "Doodlebop Pledge"; and Moe pulling a rope on the ceiling that drenches him in water for pretty much no reason at all. Then there is a sequence on Bus Driver Bob's bus that the Doodlebops board when they are going to their concert, followed by the actual concert itself which takes up the other half of the episode. The first season had the Doodlebops going for a stroll through town before getting on the bus, while the second season introduced the recording studio where they produce a Disney-acid music video for the episode's main song.
49	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Mazz, the Doodlebops' manager from the first season, is replaced with the similar Jazzmine from the second season on.
50	* TallTale: In "Later Alligator", Moe claims that he wrestled an alligator while on vacation. The story is obviously fake, but he has trouble admitting it.
51	* TitleThemeTune: The words "We're the Doodlebops!" are repeated several times throughout the show's theme song.
52	* ThankingTheViewer: Every episode ends with the Doodlebops thanking the viewer for joining them on their adventure as the closing song is sung.
53	* ThemeTuneRollCall: "Here we are together..." "Deedee!" "Rooney!" "Moe!"
54	* TotemPoleTrench: Moe did something like this in the episode "Growing Moe". The episode is about him being frustrated by the fact that he's not growing up fast enough, and one of the things he does to demonstrate this frustration is to make himself look tall by standing on a stool and wearing a long coat to cover it up. A couple of children end up discovering the trick in only a matter of seconds.
55	* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Moe and Rooney are the two guys while Deedee is the one girl.
56	* WrapUpSong: Every episode ends with a "goodbye for now" version of the theme song.
