The Arachnid Friends/Tropes

The Arachnid Friends is an American animated series created by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller that aired on Cartoon Network from November 5th, 2004 to September 14th, 2007.

Tropes

 * Actor Allusion: Greg Cipes would soon voice.
 * Animals Not to Scale: Characters in this show, including the Arachnid Friends, are unusually large for an insect and an arachnid. On an interview, Phil stated that for example, if you compare him to a real-life red-legged tarantula, Kevin would be WAY larger, about the size of a horse.
 * Area 51: There's Area 49 in It Came from Area 49.
 * Art Shift: In The King's New Move, the Dance Dance Revolution-esque arcade game King Bee played and got addicted to, C-Ant Ya Dance?, is animated in CGI.
 * Berserk Button: TBD
 * Black Bead Eyes: Miley has these.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Miley is known to be rather hyper.
 * Midder is this too.
 * Cryptid Episode: The Loch Gnats Monster.
 * Deserted Island: Stranded features the Arachnid Friends begin stranded on a deserted island.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: TBD
 * Nice Guy: TBD.
 * Nice Girl: Princess Bee.
 * Non-Standard Character Design: TBD
 * Revival: TBD
 * Ship Tease: The show has done this a lot of times with Kevin and Princess Bee.
 * Shout Out: TBD

Trivia

 * What Could Have Been: During the show's production stage, King Bee was intended to be the main villain. However, when someone suggested a centipede and millipede to be the main villains, Phil and Christopher scrapped the idea of having King Bee the bad guy and instead made him a good guy.

YMMV

 * Abandon Shipping: When the show first aired, fans shipped Kevin with either Tashy or Miley. However, after Princess Bee's debut, they moved on from shipping Kevin with Tashy and Miley and instead started shipping him with Princess Bee instead, although some fans still ship him with Tashy and/or Miley.
 * Fan-Preferred Couple:
 * Many fans in the fanbase supported Kevin/Miley or Kevin/Tashy and/or K.R./Miley or K.R./Tashy.
 * Ever since Princess Bee's introduction, Kevin/Princess Bee and K.R./Princess Bee (especially the former) became very popular.
 * Fandom Rivalry:
 * Despite most fans enjoying The Face Paint'nimal Gang and vice-verse, some of them DO NOT get along with each other due to the face that when the TFPG special for HBO Max was announced, TAF fans got ticked and claimed TAF should have a special, a LEGO set and a revival as well, despite TAF having a special back in 2015.
 * Considering TFPG Forever's success led to the new HBO Max special, the rivalry between them toned down.
 * Friendly Fandoms:
 * Fans of TAF enjoyed The Face Paint'nimal Gang and vice-versa, therefore, getting along with each other very well. Despite the special backlash, some fans of TAF just accepted the fact that they're getting a new special for HBO Max.
 * The Clone High and The LEGO Movie had shown a good relationship with the TAF fanbase, mainly since they all have the same creator.
 * [Howler, mainly due to Phil and Christopher directing the movie]
 * Ho Yay Shipping: Kevin/K.R., Miley/Tashy and Ciller/Midder.
 * Memetic Mutation: TBD.
 * Rule 34: Yep, even our beloved insects is NOT safe from the Rule 34 treatment.
