Answer
On Nickelodeon's series Rocket Power, fifth graders are surprisingly talented at extreme sports like skateboarding, surfing, roller hockey, street luge, and more. Whenever someone falls or gets in trouble the screen would flash with bright, stylized graphics with phrases like "Major Beef!" or "Busted!" Otto Rocket has a big ego that always has to be kept in check by his older sister Reggie. Their nerdy friend Sam (who goes by Squid) plays goalie on their hockey team, and their friend Maurice goes by the nickname "Twister."
