Original French title: Momie Au Pair.
A short-lived animated series about an Egyptian woman named Nile who, after one of her spells goes wrong, winds up trapping herself in a tomb as a mummy and waking up thousands of years in the future, where she befriends siblings Alex and Samantha and gets a job as their nanny.
Tropes:
- Alternative Foreign Theme Song: The Italian dub, Che baby sitter questa mummia!*, has a completely different intro and theme song
. - As You Know: Every episode Uncle Ankh reminds Droop (and the audience) that a time portal will only open when a mortal from the future utters the name of the immortal pharaoh Whydontyousitdown.
- Bad Boss: The manager of Prestobouf in "Fast Food Mummy!". At one point he immediately fires a worker because she violated the restaurant's policy on constant smiling when she accidentally burned her hands on the burger grill.
- Captain Oblivious: Mr. Big is always following the family because he thinks they know where the stolen mummy is, all the while he's oblivious to the fact that the nanny is the mummy.
- Criminal Doppelgänger: In "Love at Sea", Stumpy gets mistaken for escaped prisoner Luigi Midnightini. Subverted, as they're both criminals.
- Dub-Induced Plot Hole: In a minor example, Nile is an au pair in the original French version and is treated as such, while in the English dub she's addressed as a nanny. While similar, they're technically different jobs.
- The Italian dub calls Nile a babysitter, which is a completely different job all together.
- Lawful Stupid: Charlie and Charlie will go out of their way to arrest or ticket anyone who they think is commiting a crime, even if it comes at their detriment. In the first episode, they order Mr. Big to follow a vehicle they're chasing, but then stop him when he goes over the speed limit and give him a speeding ticket.
- Living Shadow: Droopenkhamun's shadow after it's separated from him.
- Lost in Character: Julius Elsewhere is a writer and a Running Gag has him dressing up as a character he's writing and getting ridiculously into character.
- Once an Episode: Nearly every episode someone says the Trigger Phrase and Ankh and Droop go to the future to search for Nile, only to be dragged back into the past when it's said again.
- One-Steve Limit: Averted with the two cops, Charlie and Charlie. One is white and one is black.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: No-one except Alex and Samantha can tell Nile is a mummy despite the rotting skin, bandages and lack of a nose.
- Smart Ball: In "Love at Sea", normally inept cops Charlie and Charlie are at their most competent as they attempt to arrest Luigi Midnightini, even though they're unknowingly going after the wrong man.
- Stock Sound Effect: The Elsewheres' doorbell chime is the same as The Jetsons'.
- Trapped in the Past: Several people have ended up going through the portal instead of Nile and are still trapped in Ancient Egypt by the end of the episode.
- Treasure Map: According to Mr. Big, Nile's wraps contain directions to a treasure; that's why he wanted the mummy in the first place.
- Younger Than They Look: Nile is stated in the first episode to be 15, but even before being mummified she looks like an adult.
