Thinking about the “out of character” aspects of the Backyardigans’ games and stories is really fun

In “Snow Fort”, Pablo and Tyrone are probably playing by the slide. Pablo can climb up to the top to look out from the second floor, but otherwise they’re just underneath it or they’re staying to one side of it and using it to mark the front wall (It’s not strictly either/or - exactly what part of the fort the slide represents would change whenever it’s needed to keep the game going smoothly). When the girls see the snow fort for the first time, that’s them noticing the boys playing over there. This is the point at which their two separate games merge into one. They try to see what’s going on and the boys break character to say that you can’t see us, this is our snow fort and we’re inside! And we just set a booby trap so now the stairs are the slide and you can’t get in! So the girls climb up the slide

In “Cops and Robots” Pablo probably doesn’t want to play a bad guy that day, which is why his robot character in the game keeps malfunctioning and messing up the evil stuff (but Tasha’s bossy and won’t just let him play a good robot)

In “Knights are Brave and Strong”, Uniqua has to go to Austin’s kingdom and what’s one of her obstacles? A gate. And of course, Austin doesn’t share the backyard with the others, so Tasha’s kingdom is the shared backyard and Austin’s kingdom is actually his house’s yard, and the gate in the game is the gate irl

“Robot Rampage”: The episode starts off with Austin saying he’s a robot repairman but lamenting the fact that robots never break so he doesn’t have anything to do. None of the other characters show up until we see the backyard change into the setting for the game. So I’m just picturing the other kids (or at least Uniqua and Pablo since she’s the first one to get involved and he’s the villain ofc) deciding to make up the plot just for him? Like they go “what if someone sabotaged the robots?“ and Pablo volunteers to be the bad guy and then uniqua goes over to Austin with her hand to her ear going “RING RING”

in “legend of the volcano sisters”, when the boys go to talk to the girls in the volcano, the girls are definitely just sitting on top of a picnic table ooc

The whole plot of “Viking Voyage” is just that Tasha is OP and roleplaying in bad faith. The others are playing Vikings and she wants to play mermaids instead so she’s like “WELL ACTUALLY mermaids are even tougher than vikings! And they’re really strong! So I tap your boat like this and it starts to tip!”

“The Secret of Snow”: So Tasha and Austin are playing together, Uniqua goes to try and talk to them/play with them and Tasha’s like biscuit no go play with someone else “Icy wind comes and... blows you away! All the way to... uh to Pablo’s house!” And Pablo’s by his house playing cowboy by himself. He isn’t part of Tasha’s game. But Uniqua melds the games and brings him to Tasha, they show up together and she’s like “ugh the wind blows you away to Tyrone’s house! Go play with him!”

In “Swamp Creature” OOC Tasha and Austin probably just thought that pretending to explore a regular swamp sounded like a boring game (compare it to most other episodes), but the idea of there being a swamp monster would make it interesting. So OOC Uniqua and Pablo are just convincing them to play with them. Tyrone overhears the swamp creature idea and decides to play along

“flower power”: “Hahaha I trapped you in a cage! You’re trapped! See the cage is right here you can’t leave” “Well- I use my FLOWER POWER and escape!” “NUH-UH it’s flower proof!”

“surf’s up:” Austin just like. Spins around and goes “okay guys just pretend I flipped a bunch of times in the air and it’s the raddest move you’ve ever seen 😎”
