Squirrel Boy

A short-lived Cartoon Network animated series, Squirrel Boy was created by Everett Peck (best known for this other show, Duckman). Airing for little more than a year (2006-2007), the series followed the adventures of a 9 year-old boy named Andy and his pet squirrel named Rodney. The show ended in cancellation.

No relation to Squirrel Girl.

This show has:

• The Ace: Jack Royal
• Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?:

"Maybe. Are you thinking there's an untapped market for edible socks?"

• Ax Crazy: Archie, Kyle, and the crazy dog.
• All Just a Dream: "The Rod Squad' episode was actually just a dream he had after he passed out eating several boxs of cinnamon buns which the family needed for an event... a problem he attempted to solve in his dream.
• Bandito: Salty Mike becomes one in "Gumfight at the S'Okay Corral".
• Big Bad: Kyle and Salty Mike
• Black Comedy Rape: Ranger Stu tied Leon's legs in order to put him on his head.
• Briefcase Full of Money: Parodied.
• The Brute: Kyle
• Calvin Ball
• Camp Gay: Ranger Stu
• Cowboy Episode: "Gumfight at the S'Okay Corral"
• Curse Cut Short: Was it a curse? (When "three" sees "fun" walking down the street, three grabs fun's face and--"
• Deranged Animation:
• Did Not Do the Research: Rodney's concept of haggling, where instead of bargaining for less, he "bargains" for more.
• The Ditz: Kyle and Ranger Stu.
• Dumb Muscle: Ranger Stu
• Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels: Check the name of the show.
• Exposed Animal Bellybutton: Rodney.

• I'll Take Two Beers, Too!: In "Ice Cream Anti-Social", Rodney orders two sludgies, and Andy says he'll have the same.

• Railing Kill: Happens to the crazy cat in "Gumfight at the S'Okay Corral".

• Shout-Out: To Dungeons and Dragons, of all things. In episodes with the exterminator, Rodney is always mistaken to be a "Giant Sumatran Wall Rat".
  • That in turn is probably a Firesign Theatre shoutout.
    • Or, you know, Sherlock Holmes.
