Erky Perky is a fun Australian and Canadian animated TV show. It was made by CCI Entertainment and Ambience Entertainment. The cool CGI animation was done by The LaB Sydney. The show is about two funny, sometimes silly, bugs named Erky and Perky. They used to live a perfect life on a hot dog stand. But then, they accidentally get swept away to a super clean house!
The show follows Erky and Perky as they try to get used to their new home. They live with other house bugs and are always on the hunt for food in a very clean kitchen. It's a big adventure for tiny bugs!

What's the Story About?
Imagine living in a world made of delicious crumbs and hot dogs! That's how Erky and Perky started. Erky is a bit bossy and has a Scottish accent. Perky is his friend, but he's pretty scared and easily tricked. They lived a super easy life on a downtown hot dog stand, full of tasty treats.
But one day, everything changed! They were accidentally swept away in a take-out bag. They ended up in a super clean kitchen in a house. There was no food in sight! These two lazy bugs now had to survive in the scary "Land of Kitchen." Every day, they are obsessed with finding food. They also dream of finding their way back home to the "Hot Dog Stand."
Their plans often get messed up by 'Mad' Margaret. She thinks she rules the kitchen. Her 'sidekick' Cecil usually helps her.
Meet the Characters!
Erky
Erquhart "Erky" Windsor is a blue bug with yellow spots. He has a Scottish accent. Erky often takes his friend Perky for granted. He usually makes Perky try to get food using dangerous plans. In one episode, "Perky vs. McBuggy Z," we learn he's a natural rapper and dancer! He is voiced by Jason Barr.
Perky
Percival "Perky" Rosendahl is Erky's friend and partner. He is yellow with blue spots. Perky is very cowardly and not very strong. It's pretty clear that Perky has a crush on Margaret's niece, Sajuica. He is voiced by Neil Crone.
Cecil
Cecil seems to really like Margaret, even though he's much smaller than her. He gets super jealous when Margaret shows interest in other bugs, like Pablomo or even Erky (when Erky was under a love spell!). He is voiced by Adrian Truss.
Mad Margaret
Mad Margaret thinks she's the boss of the kitchen. She usually stops Erky and Perky's plans. If they find food, she often just takes it for herself! She is voiced by Judy Marshak.
Sajuica
Sajuica is seen as the most attractive bug in the kitchen. She attracts flies and is quite flirty. Even the childish bug Stinks thinks she's "fine." She actually likes Perky! She is voiced by Melissa Jane Shaw.
Frenzel
Frenzel is a very smart bug when it comes to making plans to get food. He always has clever schemes going on. He often tricks other bugs who are innocent or weak to get what he wants. Perky often suffers because he's so trusting. For example, Frenzel once tricked Perky into thinking he was going to be dinner for a spider named Delilah. He didn't tell Perky it was all just an act! He is voiced by Ron Rubin.
Moldy van Oldy
Moldy van Oldy is a very old bug who sometimes gets confused. He loves to talk for hours! Sometimes he tells true stories, and sometimes he just rambles. One true story he told was about Margaret. When she was younger, she lived in a garden and got sprayed by a hose, which made her afraid of water. He is voiced by Keith Knight in seasons 1-2 and Rob Greenway in season 3.
Stinks
Stinks is a bug who appears whenever someone says his name, or any word that sounds like it (like "thinks"). This often happens when bugs are complaining about something, saying "This stinks!" He is voiced by Annick Obonsawin in seasons 1-2 and Stacey Depass in season 3.
Delilah
Delilah is a spider with a German accent. She tells fortunes for the other bugs. She is voiced by Dana Brooks.
Boof
Boof is Frenzel's helper. He is a digger bug who hatched from an egg that Perky found. He is voiced by Carter Hayden.
The Grand Armandor
The Grand Armandor is Margaret's personal designer. He creates her wings and purses. He is voiced by Andrew Pifko.
Additional voices were provided by Danny Wells, John Stocker, Linda Sorenson, Lawrence Bayne, Rick Miller, Robin Duke and Robert Tinkler.
