Run, run, run this street
It's Saturday o'clock
Come on, get on your feet
The world's our dance floor
Our moves are sweet
We're Harvey Kids
Gonna run, run, run this street.

— The Do It Yourself Expository Theme Tune

Harvey Street Kids is a television series produced by DreamWorks Animation for Netflix, and premiering on June 29, 2018. It is inspired by characters published by Harvey Comics.^note But not based on the characters themselves.

This cartoon follows the exploits of The Harvey Girls—Audrey, Lotta, and Dot (Stephanie Lemelin, Lauren Lapkus, Kelly McCreary respectively)—the inseparable bestest of best friends the in the whole world.

• Grey DeLisle as:

---

This series contains examples of the following tropes:

• Actor Allusion: Not only Crush 4 U are voiced by former boy band members, but it is a nod to those boy bands said former boy band members starred in. *NSYNC for Joey Fatone, New Kids on the Block^note Who even had their own comics published by Harvey themselves, doubling the allusion for Joey McIntyre, 98 Degrees for Nick Lachey, and of course, Boyz II Men for Shawn Stockman.
• Adjacent to This Complete Breakfast: In the commercial for the Super Sweeto Cavity Blast'Ems cereal (see Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs below), one of the taglines is "Part of what could be called a breakfast!"
• A.I. Is a Crapshoot:
  • Dot's AI D.O.O.T. in "Can't Harvey Wait".
  • In "Where the Streets Have No Games", the Irona tablets that the kids are all sent become so overzealous in trying to find out what they enjoy that they start forcing them to have fun against their will, then after the initial attempt to stop them, they fuse into a centipede-like robot that decides to simply take everything they love and send it all to a research facility in Antarctica for study.
• Alien Sky: The sky during the day is generally always pink, not unlike the skies over Mobius in most episodes of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. The only times it's ever blue is in alternate versions of Harvey Street, e.g post-apocalypse or The Wild West.
• The Apunkalypse: Whenever the aforementioned post-apocalyptic Harvey Street appears, the kids are dressed like this.
• Bait-and-Switch: When faced with a faux Zombie Apocalypse, Audrey says that she has an idea... which is for ice cream cones made of potato chips that she writes down on a piece of paper, then she says that she has an idea for how to fix their problem.
• Big "NO!":
  • Audrey's reaction to Tiny fainting from getting hit with a water balloon in "War and Trees".
  • Dot's reaction to the Pearl Tormentor stinging her nose and escaping in a flashback in "Moby Dot".
• Billy Needs an Organ: Parodied in "The Great Brain Robbery", where a flash-forward of Melvin's potential future shows him as an old man who needs a butt transplant if he wants to ever fart again. Unfortunately, the only compatible donors are the Harvey Girls, who turn him down.
• Birthday Party Goes Wrong: In the season 3 finale, the Harvey Girls throw Richie Rich a birthday party (which he never celebrated before since he didn't feel the need to). While the party goes exactly as they planned, it still ends on a sour note when all the emotions prove too much for Richie to handle (since he never experienced the joy of a birthday before), and he runs away from Harvey Street, forsaking the concept of childhood. This ends the season on a cliffhanger, with the girls having to convince Richie to come back at the start of season 4.
• Bizarre Taste in Food:
  • In "Wary Lotta & the Chamber of Secrets", one of the fake secrets that the Harvey Girls make up to prevent Gerald's parrots from revealing Lotta's crush on him is that he eats banana pickle tacos with ketchup for breakfast. However, it turns out he actually does.
  • In "VHMess", The Bow admonishes Tiny and Fredo for respectively putting salt and butter on their popcorn before covering hers with chocolate syrup.
• Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: In "The Lice Storm", one of Audrey's attempts to get rid of the lice she contracted from Todd is soaking her hair with hot sauce. She yells in pain, then put some sauce on a taco and eats it, making her breathe fire.
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs:
  • Tiny suggests that everyone in Harvey Street would develop superpowers like growing, or flying, or "growing and flying".
  • After seeing Audrey and Dot watching Melvin's gross-out video channel, Lotta questions how can anyone watch that over cute baby videos, cute animal videos, or cute baby animal videos.
  • In "Sleepless in SkyMansion", the SkyMansion is shown to have a bouncy room, a candy room, and a bouncy candy room.
• Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: During Lotta's excuse for trying to avoid doing Halloween once the sun goes down:
  Lotta: It's getting dark, and, see, I only do daytime Halloween. You know, decorating, costumes, shoving your head into a bucket of ice-cold water for apples and almost drowning. Nice, safe stuff.
• Calvinball: Playing kickball with Harvey Street rules is essentially a never-ending game of making everything up on the spot. It isn't until the last episode of the first season that they get to finish their first match. In the following episode, Zoe admits that she purposely designed the rules this way so the kids could never win.
• Canon Foreigner: Bobby, The Bow, Fredo, Frufru, and Pinkeye were characters created for the show. Also played with, since the "Audrey", "Lotta", and "Dot" of this show are not the originals, but original characters that just happen to have the same names and similar looks.
  • Also, Audrey didn't have a sister in the comics and shorts.
• Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs: Super Sweeto Cavity Blast'Ems. It's so sweet that the commercial included the warning "This cereal will definitely cause cavities", and the product had to be taken off the market after one single hour.
• Cliffhanger:
  • The final episode of the first season opens with the theft of the Harveson statue's hand and a threat that Harvey Street will be stolen at noon. As the kids panic over the threat and paranoia turns them against each other, the Harvey Girls discover that while they were distracted with trying to maintain order, their trailer clubhouse has been stolen... by Audrey's sister, Zoe!
  • In the same vein, the second season ends with all the kids having received tablets with AIs that force them to perform their favorite activities ad nauseum. As the Harvey Girls plot a course of action, they're abducted by an airship owned by Richie Rich.
  • The third season ends with Richie forsaking the concept of childhood after an emotional overload from having experienced joy for the first time in his life. Immediately after, the Harvey Girls get a hologram from future Richie imploring them to change his present self's mind, as it turned out to be the worst decision he ever made.
• Comically Missing the Point: In "Pretty in Pinkeye", the montage of Dot giving Pinkeye a makeover includes Dot trying to brush his unkempt teeth. He takes the toothbrush... and bangs it against his teeth, not knowing how to use it at all.
• Cool and Unusual Punishment: In "Cereal", the punishment for eating the whole box of Super Sweeto Cavity Blast'Ems is having to wear a pantsuit.
• Creator Provincialism: Horn-A-Con, the Horn-A-Corn convention, takes place in Glendale, California. Glendale is the home of DreamWorks Animation.
• Dance Party Ending: Used at the end of the Grand Finale, which is also the Finale Credits.
• Dartboard of Hate: In "War and Trees", Dot's file on the Bloogey Boys contains a picture of Melvin shooting spitballs at a firing range target that is a silhouette of Audrey.
• Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: In "Blame That Tune", the show's main theme proves to be the only thing capable of defeating the Shrimp Sisters' jingle.
• Distant Reaction Shot: In "While You Weren't Sleeping", the kids lighting up the neighborhood renders it visible from space.
• "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The Harvey Kids and the other residents of the street perform the theme song.
• Dreadful Musician:
  • Lotta is comically depicted as this at the end of "Cheer and Present Danger". Her piano playing and singing unintentionally antagonizes a flock of pelicans, who attack the girls and chase them away.
  • In "Raccoon Hoarder Picture Show", Audrey is shown to be terrible at playing the harmonica. She uses the fact that she's self-taught as a threat.
• Dresses the Same: Lotta and Frufru end up both dressing as bunnies for Halloween in "Harveyween", though Lotta's costume is self-made and Frufru's is store-bought.
• Ear Worm: In "Blame That Tune", most of the kids are turned into "songies" by the Shrimp Sisters' new jingle.
• End-of-Series Awareness: In "Harvily Ever After", the storyline of Lucretia's fan-fiction podcast ends after 104 episodes, the amount of 11-minute segments that the series aired (as the show's episode-length segments were produced as two parts).
• Epic Fail: In "Weekend at Audrey's", when Audrey breaks the girls' Cuddleature, she follows Dot's instructional video on how to fix it. It takes her 68 attempts to get it looking semi-functional again.
• Even the Rats Won't Touch It: In "Trade Wreck", not even the raccoons want Melvin's sponge cake that he dyed red to pass off as red velvet.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Guess...
• Exact Words: Dot's lecture to Fluffy in "The Secret Strife of Pets", after making it live in a square of duct tape:
  Dot: If you must be allowed in our pristine, uninfested headquarters— (yelling to Audrey and Lotta), and I still think Fluffy should stay outside forever— (back to Fluffy) then this is your space. Do not step or shed over the line. [Fluffy hocks a hairball on her tunic] Fine. I never mentioned vomiting, so well-played.
• Exorcist Head: The Bow, not wearing a costume, quickly spins her head to numerous degrees in "Harveyween".
• Eye Am Watching You: Audrey does this to a cloud shaped like Zoe in "The Future is Frufru".
• Eyedscreen: Parodied in "I Wanna Crush Your Hand" when Audrey does this and the camera zooms out to show she was using her arms.
• Eye Scream:
  • Poor Pinkeye, whose nickname very clearly comes from his condition.
  • He also gets glitter in his good eye in "War and Trees" when the girls release a glitter-filled balloon in the Bloogey Boys' treehouse.
    Pinkeye: It got in my good eye!
  • In "Campfire Weekend", when he cries, his mucus comes out of his pinkeye.
  • In "While You Weren't Sleeping" his good eye swells shut when he's sleep-deprived.
  • In "The Great Brain Robbery", the first offense that Audrey lists off on Melvin's Long List of infractions is burping in her eye, causing it to burn and become red and irritated.
  • At the end of "Pretty in Pinkeye", Pinkeye touches his eye to Dot's during their dance routine, causing her to contract his condition.
  • Apparently, Lotta once forgot how to blink and had to have her bunnies reteach her.
• Feud Episode: In "Afternoon Contrite", the Bloogey Boys break up due to Melvin leaving all the chores for Fredo and Pinkeye, and Lotta sets out to bring them back together after Melvin blames the Harvey Girls for it.
• Finale Credits: See also Dance Party Ending
• Fire-Breathing Diner:
  • In Lucretia's fantasy sequence at the beginning of "Clinging in the Rain", the Harvey Girls are stuck under a giant taco. Audrey's obvious solution is to eat their way out, but it's so spicy that her tongue catches fire and turns to ash. After Lucretia (as a superhero here) eats the whole thing, she lets out a small, flaming burp.
  • Happens to Audrey again in "The Lice Storm"; see Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce above.
• Four-Fingered Hands: All the characters have four fingers per hand.

• Yet Another Christmas Carol: Not actually a Christmas Episode, but "The Great Brain Robbery" has Melvin getting a Brain Freeze and being confronted by the Scoop of Back in the Day (Lotta), the Scoop of Right Here, Right Now (Dot), and the Scoop Who's Yet to Come (Audrey), who convince him to atone for his past actions.
• You Monster!: In "The Great Brain Robbery", Lotta says this to Melvin when Audrey points out one of his many offenses is tying Lotta's stuffed bunnies into a chain.
  Lotta: And it was a double knot, you monster!
• Zombie Apocalypse:
  • Parodied in "While You Weren't Sleeping"; Audrey hates nightfall hampering her plans, so the kids light up the neighborhood so they can stay up later. However, almost immediately after midnight hits, the lack of sleep causes everyone to enter a zombie-like state (except for Dot and Lotta, who took disco naps beforehand, while Audrey is temporarily able to fend it off).
  • Another parody makes up the plot of "Blame That Tune" when all of the kids except for Dot and Pinkeye are entranced by a catchy jingle.
