The Stinky & Dirty Show is a fun animated TV series from America, Ireland, and the UK. It first aired on January 15, 2015, on Amazon Prime Video. Before the show officially started, a sneak peek was shown along with two other possible series. The Stinky & Dirty Show was chosen by viewers, and the other two shows were not made. The series began with its first season in 2015 and finished with a longer second season in the summer of 2019.

What the Show is About

The show follows the exciting adventures of two best friends, Stinky the garbage truck and Dirty the backhoe loader. They are an unexpected but hilarious team who are great at solving problems. They learn that even when things don't go as planned, asking "what if?" can help them find a way to succeed. The series is based on popular books written by Jim and Kate McMullan.

Meet the Characters

Here are some of the main characters you'll meet in Go City:

  • Stinky (voiced by Jaden Betts in season 1; Issac Ryan Brown in season 2) – Stinky is a brown garbage truck. He's the sillier one of the two friends. He sees value in things others might call trash and often finds useful items to help solve problems. Stinky loves his unique smell and doesn't mind getting washed, as long as he keeps his signature odor!
  • Dirty (voiced by Jacob Guenther in season 1; Jet Jurgensmeyer in season 2) – Dirty is a yellow backhoe loader with a cab that can spin around. He's the more serious and logical one. Dirty dreams of becoming the best building truck ever. He often draws his ideas on the ground to plan things out. He loves dirt and has a cool rock collection. Dirty also has a two-way radio to call other vehicles for help. While he doesn't like being clean, he especially dislikes soap and gets nervous if it touches him.
