Hannah Montana

"Travis: So you and Miley are pretty close?

Hannah: You have no idea."

Hannah Montana (2006-2011) is about a teenager named Miley Stewart (played by Miley Cyrus) who seems like an ordinary girl to the kids at her school. But secretly, she is also teen pop sensation Hannah Montana, and the only people who know besides her family are her best friends, Lilly and Oliver.

For its fourth and final season, the show was retooled and re-branded as Hannah Montana Forever.

Now has a Character Sheet.

This show provides examples of:
"Hannah: ... but then I learn a valuable lesson and everything's okay!"
 * Adam Westing: Billy Ray Cyrus plays his own Captain Ersatz.
 * Adorkable: Much of the show's success can be attributed to Miley Cyrus' bright and energetic personality combined with her goofy mannerisms and a total willingness to look foolish on camera. She's even been compared favorably to comedy legends Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett.
 * Adjective Noun Fred: The title of the Japanese dub, Secret Idol Hannah Montana.
 * Affectionate Parody: The Hannah character, and much of the music, seems to parody the teen-pop images of the likes of Hilary Duff and the younger Britney Spears.
 * An Aesop: One per episode, generally. More prevalent during the series' early run - the third and fourth seasons have quite a few episodes that manage to avoid this trope.
 * Alliterative Name:
 * Oliver Oscar Oken, who gets double credit for this trope as he is played by Mitchel Musso.
 * Lilly's alter-ego, Lola Luftnagle.
 * Robbie Ray Stewart's alter-ego, Robbie Ray.
 * Miley and Jackson's deceased mother, Susan Stewart.
 * Amber Addison, the Alpha Bitch.
 * Karen Kunkle, Jackson's - and later, Miley's - Stern Teacher.
 * Music critic Barney Bittman - again, extra credit for Gilbert Gottfried.
 * Gary Green, radio DJ.
 * Movie producer Baz B. Berkley.
 * Special mention goes to Dandruff Danny, Liposuction Liza and Brainless Becky.
 * And finally, Ray Romano, Joe Jonas and Rob Reiner, appearing as themselves.
 * Alter Ego Acting: Miley is also a singer in Real Life -- as Hannah Montana as well as herself, no less.
 * Back for The Finale: Done of series of episodes where Lilly's Dad, Aunt Dolly, and Mamaw all return
 * Literally with Oliver who actually only comes back as a Plot Device.
 * Beneath the Mask: A major theme in the show. Thanks to the Hannah Montana persona, Miley is able to see people's True Colors. She isn't fooled by the facade put up by someone like Amber or Rico when they're dealing with Hannah, because as Miley, she knows what they are really like. In fact, everyone but her true friends treat her better when she is Hannah.
 * Be Yourself: The show's overarching Aesop, which seems ironic given that the series is all about a girl who puts on a disguise so she can live a life of fame and fortune... until you realize it merely sets up Miley for the supporting lesson, that friends and family are more important.
 * Big Damn Movie: Hannah has to save her Tennessee hometown from a land developer who wants to build a mall there.
 * Big Eater:
 * Lilly. Skinny as she is, one wonders where she puts it all.
 * Robbie Ray, leading to some people, including the President, teasing him about his waistline.
 * Blind Without Em: Lilly can't tell a person from a post without her contacts.
 * Broken Record: In the movie, during the filming of the video for "The Best of Both Worlds", the CD that they're lip-syncing to keeps repeating, "Best of both, best of both, best of both..." until the CD player gets smacked, and it finally ends, "Best of both worlds."
 * Brother Chuck: A number of characters were quite unceremoniously Put On a Bus, including:
 * Two of Jackson's best friends -- Cooper, not seen since Season 1, and Thor, not seen since Season 2.
 * Roxy, not seen since early Season 2.
 * Mikayla, also not seen since early Season 2. Although there's probably a good reason for that.
 * Though Bridglet Mendler still guest stars on that show despite having one of her own.
 * Dandruff Danny, not seen since Season 1.
 * The Movie gives Hannah Montana a publicist played by Vanessa Williams who is never seen after the movie.
 * California University:
 * Jackson considered The State College of Santa Barbara, then attended Tennessee University for a time, before settling upon Malibu Community College. None of these institutions exist in real life.
 * Lilly and Miley both apply to Standford University. Yes, spelled like that -- it's quite visible on a couple of folders in the episode, and Miley clearly sounds out the first D more than once. There's no such school, and if you Google the name, the results pages will keep insisting you meant something else.
 * Can't Get Away With Nuthin: Jackson frequently incurs Robbie Ray's full wrath for infractions that would rate, at most, a stern talking-to for Miley.
 * Catch Phrase:
 * "Sweet niblets!"
 * "Dang flabbit!"
 * "TVTropeseditorsayWHAT?*
 * "What in the Sam Heck?"
 * "Hey-O!"
 * "Rrrrrrrico! Muahahahaha!"
 * "Eep!"
 * "Oh yeah! I went there!"
 * "Ya think?"
 * Celebrity Paradox: This trope is actually quite important, as Hannah and her father are often in many of the same settings and situations that their actors experience in Real Life. They even interact with many real celebrities playing themselves in the show.
 * Played straight for Miley Cyrus, even more so because her character is The Danza. Justified because the entire premise of the series requires that "Miley" be a girl who is not famous. People in the show have never heard the name before, and later struggle to remember it. For example, when Miley Stewart is dating Jake Ryan and she ends up being interviewed on TV, the host calls her "Milky" - and when corrected, doesn't care that he was wrong.
 * Given the above, you'd think the trope would also apply to her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. However, it's subverted when a direct reference is made. Robbie Ray puts on a mullet wig and claims to be Billy Ray - which couldn't happen if the celebrity did not exist. A double subversion occurs when the woman Robbie is talking to thinks he's crazy and quickly leaves.
 * Character Development:
 * Miley in the first season was a shy, timid, awkward girl. Somewhere along the line she managed to pick up large amounts of sass. She stayed clumsy though.
 * Lilly started out as a funny, quirky tomboy. By the time she got together with Oliver, she had turned into a giggling girly girl.
 * Child Prodigy: Rico starts out as one, eventually aging into a Teen Genius. He is in the same class as Miley and Lilly, despite being three years younger.
 * Chivalrous Pervert: Rico.
 * Clark Kenting: Miley as Hannah.
 * Comic Book Time: Averted. While there are some continuity errors, each season clearly shows the teenage cast progressing to a new school year. Dealing with the issues of growing up is a recurring theme in the series.
 * Commuting On a Bus: In Season 4, Mitchel Musso was removed from the billed cast, with Oliver only appearing in a couple of episodes.
 * Completely Missing the Point: When Hannah is signed up for a celebrity tennis game, Miley seems more concerned with having a signature grunt than you know...actually learning tennis.
 * Cool Loser: Lilly and Miley (and arguably, Oliver) qualify. Both girls are ranked at the very bottom of Amber and Ashley's 'Cool List', causing them to be shunned by the entire school. Matters improve somewhat in high school, though they're still pretty low in the pecking order. We're talking about two attractive, hip, trendy, charismatic girls who turn heads everywhere they go in Real Life.
 * Costume Porn
 * Crossover: Wizards of Waverly Place On Deck with Hannah Montana and That's So Raven Suite Life of Hannah Montana. Characters and settings from Cory in The House appear in the episode "Take This Job and Love It". Beacause Selena Gomez plays both Alex Russo and Hannah's rival, Mikayla, none of the Hannah Montana cast directly interact with any of the Wizards of Waverly Place cast.
 * The Danza:
 * Miley Stewart is played by Miley Cyrus. Averted at first, as the lead role was named Zoe Stewart, later changed to Chloe Stewart because Zoe was thought to be too similar to Zoey 101, and the character was established well before Cyrus came in. In fact, she originally auditioned (yes, auditioned) for the role of Lilly. It was changed to Miley as all of the aliases were becoming confusing to her in Real Life. Still an odd subversion because Miley wasn't her real first name -- it's Destiny Hope Cyrus, and Miley was a nickname she got as a baby -- but then she had her first name legally changed to Miley.
 * Played straight in the case of Heather Truscott, played by Heather Locklear.
 * Deadpan Snarker:
 * Miley/Hannah, in practically every episode -- especially after the first season. She's cute, she's funny, she can be downright obnoxious. It's why the audience can comfortably laugh at her when the Zany Scheme invariably backfires.
 * Lilly also tends to fall into this role -- she and Miley are best friends, after all. In some cases (such as the time where Miley and Jackson were thought to be dating) she basically spends the entire episode doing nothing but make snarky comments.
 * Deep South: Miley Cyrus hails from Franklin, Tennessee in Real Life, and her dad comes from Kentucky. The Stewarts, being Southerners, came from the fictional town of Crawley Corners, Tennessee, as The Movie makes quite clear. The show never lets you forget the Stewarts' Southern roots for too long, the strong accents Billy Ray and Miley have for starters. The episodes featuing Mammaw, Uncle Earl and/or and Aunt Dolly only reinforce the issue.
 * Defictionalization: Miley Cyrus' early music career consists entirely of songs from the show, including performances as Hannah Montana in real life. Arguably, this wasn't the original intention. Disney Consumer Products failed to produce any official Hannah Montana merchandise for the first holiday season following the show's initial airing in March 2006, indicating that they did not anticipate the popularity it would garner nor the demand it would generate.
 * Disney Owns This Trope: Rico owns his evil laugh. And the North American rights to the "Hey-yo!" Furthermore, his company is called "Muah-hah-hah Industries."
 * Dumb Blonde: Lilly, especially in Season 1.
 * Easily Forgiven: Robbie Ray will forgive anything that Miley messes up, as long as he's convinced she's genuinely contrite.
 * Lampshaded in "De-Do-Do-Do, De-Don't-Don't-Don't-Don't Tell My Secret":

"Jackson: Face it, you don't have my talent for anything but the truth. Every time you try, you wind up getting caught, sitting on a bench, or the couch, or the porch where Dad says, "Bud, if you'd just woulda told the truth in the beginning yadda yadda yadda I love you."... "I love you too."... you ride Blue Jeans, he writes a song, The End."
 * In "Been There All Along", Jackson actually has to explain this to Miley to stop her from trying another Zany Scheme.

"Miley: I never wear sparkles!"
 * Empathic Environment: When Miley lost an anklet her mother gave her, the weather in Hawai'i promptly turned sour. When Robbie Ray gives a speech telling her how her mother is always with her, anklet or no, the weather promptly turns gorgeous again.
 * Escapist Character: Hannah. Invoked in some of her songs, such as "Just Like You", which lets the audience identify with her more readily.
 * Everythings Sparkly With Jewelry: Many of Hannah's outfits from the earlier seasons were created by sticking thousands of rhinestones on perfectly ordinary clothes. Once the show's popularity took off, so did the budget, so her later costumes are mostly hand-made and fall into full Pimped Out Dress territory -- but still play this trope straight.
 * Brought up in one of the DVD extras:

"Lilly: But your fantasies always drive you to do the right thing, in an educational and entertaining way!"
 * Executive Meddling: Possible -- In some of the episodes, there's an underlying feeling that the plot and even the show could have been brilliantly satirical, but that the Disney sitcom formula, as well as the target demographic being little girls, puts a limit on the writers' storytelling potential.
 * Expository Theme Tune: "Who would have thought that a girl like me -- would double as a superstar?".
 * Extraverted Nerd: Rico, again.
 * Flat What: At least once an episode.
 * Genre Savvy: Lilly has a fair amount of this. Several times she points out Miley's crazy schemes and why they wouldn't work. Sometimes it's even implied that Lilly agrees to play along only because she knows that Miley will learn something when the plan fails.

"Miley: I'm a girl. I have needs.
 * The Ghost: Uncle Earl and Aunt Pearl until Season 2, when Uncle Earl was finally portrayed in all his larger-than-life glory by David Koechner. Aunt Pearl remained The Ghost.
 * Good Feels Good: Sarah seems to really enjoy her goodie-two-shoes ways.
 * Gosh Dang It to Heck: "Sweet Niblets!"
 * "Dang Flabbit!"
 * Granola Girl: Sarah.
 * Groupie Brigade: Exaggerated in the first season, where just saying the name Hannah Montana too loudly can trigger a stampede of rabid fans trying to find her. Still played straight throughout the rest of the series, and is the justification behind Miley going to all the trouble of keeping a secret identity.
 * Happier Home Movie: In one episode, Miley watches a family Christmas from when her mom was still alive.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: Miley and Lilly.
 * Hidden Depths: Jackson will loudly proclaim at every opportunity how disappointed he is that Robbie Ray had a second child, or how much he resents Hannah Montana taking precedence over any of his own plans -- especially because Miley never lets him forget it. However, when push comes to shove and Miley really needs his support, Jackson will sacrifice anything -- even his own happiness -- to protect his sister's hopes and dreams.
 * Hollywood Dateless: Jackson is portrayed as a uncouth, socially-awkward loser who couldn't get a date if his life depended on it. This in spite of the fact that he's played by the boyishly-handsome Jason Earles, takes a different girl out every third episode, and has even had a few random women come on to him (usually when he's not trying to be charming).
 * Honest Johns Dealership: Rico charges exorbitant prices for mediocre food at his surf shop, has some questionably-legal business practices (eg: charging for restrooms, in the home state of the Congresswoman who that practice abolished, no less), and has had more than one run-in with the Health Department.
 * Hormone Addled Teenager: Most (if not all) of them. Considering the hectic double life Miley has, the show spends a disproportionate amount of time on hers and the others' various crushes.
 * Hot Dad: They don't call Robbie Ray the "Honky Tonk Hearthrob" for nuthin'!
 * Hot Mom:
 * Heather Truscott, played by none other than Heather Locklear.
 * Susan Stewart, seen in flashbacks, played by Brooke Shields.
 * I Am Song: The series loves this trope, as several songs qualify. It begins with "Just Like You" and "The Other Side Of Me" in Season 1, progresses to Season 3's "Supergirl" and "Just A Girl", then finishes with "Ordinary Girl" in the final season.
 * Idol Singer: Hannah in the show, Miley in Real Life.
 * Emily Osment and Mitchel Musso have followed suit.
 * I'm a Man I Can't Help It: Gender inverted with Miley in S2 Ep08, "Take This Job and Love It", where Miley gives this as the reason she didn't want to take Roxy, her overprotective bodyguard with her on a date.

Robbie: Please tell me you just said you're a girl who has knees."

"Miley: You know Lilly, you should really write a book.
 * Insufferable Genius: Rico.
 * Intergenerational Friendship: Between Robbie Ray and Rico.
 * I Should Write a Book About This: Subverted in one episode:

Lilly: About what?

Miley: I don't care, as long as you stop talking."

"Miley Stewart: He loves me. He loves me not, and now I need more petals!"
 * Jerk With a Heart of Jerk: Rico has been known to do right by people, but usually only when it serves his own interests.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold: However, Rico does manage, on rare occasions, to do something truly altruistic.
 * Keeping Secrets Sucks: Oh, does it ever. To maintain her secret identity, Miley has to lie to her friends, endure bullying at school, and suffer through constant discrimination or embarrassment... all the time knowing she could make all of it go away so easily. It's no picnic for Miley's family and friends either. Robbie Ray and Jackson both give up their own happiness to protect her, torching their respective relationships with Lorelai and Siena (albeit temporarily, as Miley eventually shares the secret with both).
 * Kid Com
 * Laugh Track
 * Line of Sight Name: Miley is doing a radio interview from her kitchen while eating spaghetti and claims to be speaking from a cafe in Italy. When she is asked where she is, her father passes her the pasta box. She reads the first words she sees and claims to be in the small village of "Sodium Free". She immediately ammends this to "Sodium Freme" (said in an Italian accent).
 * Literary Allusion Title: Every episode title is a Shout Out to a song. Many also end up becoming Pun Based Titles.
 * Loves Me Not: In the episode "Good Golly, Miss Dolly":

"Lilly: (close to tears) Look, you don't have enough for the big tiger, okay? It's the dragon stickers, the erasers, or the ice cube with the fly in it!"
 * Love Triangle: Season 3 introduces Jesse, one of Hannah's band members, as a rival to Jake Ryan for her affections. An unusual situation when you realize that as far as the world knows, Jake is actually dating Hannah's alter-ego Miley Stewart, whom Jesse doesn't even know exists. The episode handles this by separating scenes between Miley/Jake and Hannah/Jesse - meaning Jesse is only aware that Hannah is dating somebody - but . It is possible that Jesse just didn't know who Jake's girlfriend was supposed to be.
 * The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life: A recurring trope throughout the series, with increasing significance each time. Early on, it's played for laughs, with Miley going on a date... to a Hannah Montana concert. Later on, she lets Jake in on her secret when the guilt of continually lying to him becomes too much to bear. In the movie, everything comes tumbling down when Miley tries to have a romantic dinner with Travis while simultaneously attending the mayor's banquet as Hannah. Finally, in Season 4,
 * Mean Character Nice Actor:
 * Moises Arias, who plays Rico, is not as selfish and rotten as his character. In fact he promoted penguin preservation with the Disney MMORPG, Club Penguin.
 * The girls who played Amber and Ashley aren't really mean in real life either.
 * Nor is Romi Dames, the actress who plays stuck-up socialite Traci Van Horn. Quite the opposite, in fact.
 * Missing Mom: Miley and Jackson's mother died some time prior to the pilot. She does appear in a few episodes (played by Brooke Shields), in dream sequences.
 * Morality Chain: Often, Lilly is the only thing keeping a leash on Miley's diva-ness.
 * The Movie: Technically, two movies -- the first was a Concert Film, while the second was based on the show.
 * My Hair Came Out Green: Miley tries to dye her hair blonde and it ends up green.
 * New Season New Name: The fourth and final season is re-branded Hannah Montana Forever.
 * Officially Shortened Title: Inverted for the Japanese adaptation, which is marketed as Secret Idol Hannah Montana.
 * Oh My Gods: Robbie Ray uses "Lord" in a theological context.
 * Only Sane Man: Jesse was the only person to make the connection between Hannah and Miley
 * Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Siena is played by Australian actress Tammin Sursok, whose accent lapses occasionally. In particular, she seems to struggle with saying "Hannah Montana". Fridge Logic kicks in when one realizes that Siena's nationality was never stated, and thus she has no need to affect an American accent.
 * Paper Thin Disguise: How the cast's Secret Identities are kept secret. Lampshaded when Jackson points out the obviousness of Superman's Paper Thin Disguise, and Miley agrees with him as she and Robbie Ray don theirs.
 * Robbie's Mustache is made even thinner as anyone could easily put 2 and 2 together that Robbie Ray and Robbie Ray Stewart are the same person especially when one considers that he never hides the fact that he is Robbie Ray even without the mustache. It very possible this is an attempt to Lampshade this trope as Robbie seems to be the same person with or without the mustache.
 * Picked Last: Happens to Miley whenever gym class involves teams, and is the setup for the episode "Cuffs Will Keep Us Together". As Hannah Montana, she has the coordination to dance onstage - sometimes in high heels and while also singing, no less - but when it comes to sports, she's unable to do things like catch a ball without using her face.
 * Platonic Life Partners: Miley and Oliver, Lilly and Oliver before their Relationship Upgrade in Season 3.
 * Porn Stache: Most of Robbie Ray's Paper Thin Disguise consists of this. Lampshaded by Robbie repeatedly.
 * Promotion to Opening Titles: Moises Arias, as of Season 2.
 * Real Life Relative: Miley Stewart's father Robbie Ray Stewart is played by Miley Cyrus' father, Billy Ray Cyrus. (Yes, that Billy Ray Cyrus).
 * Reality Subtext: The fourth season deals with themes such as whether Hannah's audience would accept the change and growth in her work, Miley and Lilly growing up and out of the tastes and fashions they had when they were younger, and whether her fans would stay with her even after Miley stops being Hannah Montana and appears in public as the real Miley. This seems to reflect Miley's image change into a more adult and more edgy/personalized/reflective image and music style in Real Life, which began before the fourth season was filmed.
 * Relationship Upgrade: Lilly and Oliver, friends since kindergarten, become an Official Couple in Season 3.
 * Rich Bitch: Traci Van Horn, who has the unmitigated gall to tell Lola, to her face, how uncool she thinks she is, despite being friends with Hannah, who publicly humiliates herself just as often.
 * Running Gag: Several.
 * Robbie Ray's obsession with his hair to the point where his kids very first go-to move when bad news comes their way is to compliment his hair.
 * The fact that Robbie Ray is always making awful puns and Miley reminding him that 'you ain't funny'. In fact, you could say this is one of Robbie Ray's main schticks in the series.
 * In Season 4, Lilly gets a new job running the ticket exchange booth at the amusement park. One of the top prizes is a big stuffed toy tiger that costs 50,000 tickets - a ludicrous amount that would fill a large container. Guess what every kid tries to exchange his or her measly handful of tickets for. Lilly easily handles the initial incident in the first episode, cheerily explaining the three cheapest prizes that all those tickets are good for. Fast-forward several episodes and many more kids later, and she's just about ready to crack.

"Jackson: There's only one thing that will get me into that college!
 * The Scrooge: Despite being filthy-stinkin'-rich from both his own and his daughter's record sales, Robbie Ray is notoriously, if a bit selectively, tight with a penny.
 * Secret Identity: Many episodes of the show revolve around Miley trying to keep people from learning she is Hannah Montana. Once, Miley tried to get a phone by taking a bad picture of her as Hannah but learned she was wearing a necklace labled "Miley". Lilly and Oliver adopted their own secret identities as well.
 * Selective Enforcement: Miley is Easily Forgiven, whereas Jackson Can't Get Away With Nuthin.
 * Series Continuity Error: Oh so many! A few examples:
 * There are a number of instances where it seems the episode order (as aired on TV) had been changed from the intended order as they were written. Like when Miley mentions she will "be driving soon", in the episode after the one where she is driving by herself already. Or when Lilly says Hannah just starred in a movie, but the episode where she auditions for that movie hasn't happened yet.
 * Lilly's birthday, which was implied in The Movie to be in the summer, but came around again just seven months later in "Can't Get Home to You Girl". This could be related to the episode shuffling noted above.
 * In one episode, Lilly spectacularly butchers the pronunciation of "empanada" (so as to rhyme with "Canada Eh") but in another episode, is taking AP Spanish, and able to tutor another girl in exchange for her math tutoring services.
 * Lilly mentions a brother once, in Season 1 -- then never again. In Season 3, she says sometimes she wishes she had a brother.
 * Shallow Love Interest: Many, which is understandable given the main characters are all teenagers. Notable examples include Becca Weller and Gabe "Hottie Lamati with the Swimmer's Body" Lamati.
 * She Is All Grown Up: Lilly. In the Tomboy and Girly Girl pairing of her and Miley, she started out as the former, with actress Emily Osment drawing unflattering comments about being her brother Haley Joel with a wig. Jump to Season 4 -- Lilly dresses straight from the Hannah Closet and Oliver is just smitten.
 * Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now: Hannah has been known to be on tour for weeks at a time, and engages in activities and publicity stunts during school hours, such as reading to a group of preschoolers. Yet, as regular old Miley Stewart, she attends a public school, and her absences are never referenced, nor do they arouse the suspicion of anyone at school.
 * Shout Out: Many. Notably, the episodes are named after songs.
 * At one point, Miley tells Lilly that her dad's nickname for her is in fact "Miley". In real life, "Miley" was a nickname Billy Ray bestowed on his daughter.
 * A very subtle one in "O Say, Can You Remember the Words" in which Jackson makes Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny!" face before attacking a pair of chocolate bunnies.
 * There's also one in an episode where Miley is trying to learn to climb a rope. After Lilly is distracted by Sarah coming in to tell her (falsely) that Oliver is back from his tour, Miley is at the ceiling in no time. Unable to figure out how Miley pulled it off (she used a hidden wire harness), Lilly asks "Are you a vampire?"
 * Jake Ryan probably takes his name from the ever-so-perfect male lead in Sixteen Candles.
 * When Jackson tries to get in to a college:

Robbie: Harry Potter's cloak of invisibility?"

"Lilly: Oh, come on! You so like Jake!
 * Sidekick: At one point Lilly refers to herself as such saying that she's just a sidekick who needs to learn to say no. She almost never does.
 * Soapbox Sadie: The aforementioned "Saint" Sarah, crusading for such worthy causes as the California Low Flow Toilet Initiative.
 * Spiritual Successor: To Lizzie Mcguire, particularly The Movie where Lizzie becomes a pop star and has a brunette double.
 * Stalker With a Crush: Oliver was one to Hannah until he found out who she really was. Lilly (in her Lola persona) was one to Orlando Bloom until she started dating Oliver.
 * Standardized Sitcom Housing: Almost to the point of an inversion of Friends Rent Control, considering it's supposed to be a Malibu beachfront house that two rock stars live in. Justified when you realize that it helps Miley pretend to be a normal girl.
 * Stylistic Suck: Sometimes, Hannah Montana gets an acting job. The character cannot act.
 * Three Amigos: Miley, Lilly and Oliver.
 * Token Minority: Subverted with Rico. He may be the only Latino in an otherwise monochrome cast, but he subverts the TV stereotype of Latinos by being intelligent, wealthy, and motivated.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Played straight in the first two seasons with Lilly and Miley, respectively. Lilly eventually becomes more of a girly girl herself, though she remains much more athletic than Miley, who is terrible at sports.
 * Took a Level In Jerkass: By Season 4, Lilly has turned into an opportunistic snob who spends most of her screen time whining and complaining.
 * Trailers Always Spoil: The official promo for "I'll Always Remember You" showed very few clips from the first half of the episode, and almost entirely put emphasis on Hannah taking off her blonde wig and exposing her identity as Miley Stewart to the world.
 * Tsundere: Miley towards Jake Ryan. When they first meet, she treats him with disdain, calling his antics "disgusting" and turning him down three times when he asks her to a dance. It isn't until Hannah guest stars on Jake's TV show and they almost kiss during a scene that she realizes - or admits to herself - that she actually likes him. Lilly with her usual Genre Savvy is actually aware of Miley's true feelings from the start:

Miley: No, I don't! How can you say that?

Lilly: Because, every time his name comes up, you act like you can't stand him."

"Jesse: You are way too smart to come up with something this stupid.
 * Unlimited Wardrobe: Miley calls it the Hannah Closet, but it's effectively a fashion boutique (that only stocks brightly-colored sparkly items for teenage girls) in her bedroom. Automated revolving carousels and remote-controlled sliding shelves filled with more clothes and accessories than the show has episodes ensure that Hannah never needs to wear the same thing twice.
 * Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Miley ventures into this territory at times.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: Jackson and Rico.
 * Wakeup Makeup: Miley and Lilly always seem to get out of bed with eye makeup, mascara, foundation and lip gloss perfectly in place. They also wear jewelry while sleeping. Averted with Robbie -- although never shown, he has a strict routine of grooming to always keep his hair looking nice.
 * We Named the Monkey Jack: One episode revealed that Miley once had a pig named Luann. The later episode, "Torn Between Two Hannahs" features her obnoxious cousin, Luann, whom she had named it after.
 * What Could Have Been: Taylor Momsen, Jo Jo, and American Juniors finalist Jordan Mccoy were all considered for the role. And lets not forget Miley originally auditioned for the role of Lilly Romero and the various names that both the main character (Zoe, Chloe) and her alter ego (Anna Cabana, Alexis Texas, Samantha York) went through before they settled on Miley and Hannah Montana.
 * A Worldwide Punomenon:
 * Most of the episode titles are wordplay on the titles of popular songs.
 * Robbie Ray constantly makes puns.
 * Young Entrepreneur: Rico's dad gave him the business, but Rico knows how to keep it profitable.
 * Zany Scheme: A typical episode starts off with Miley doing something selfish or irresponsible, then instead of taking accountability for her actions, she comes up with some dubious, convoluted plan to cover her tracks. Said plan will often involve the use of a ridiculous animal costume.
 * Miley/Hannah herself lampshades this in "He Could Be the One":

Hannah: HEY! For your information, you are looking at a girl stupid enough to dress up as a chicken, a duck, a swan...

Lola: A pirate, a carrot..."

Episodes of this series provide examples of:
"Lilly: Oh please! Next you're gonna be saying "She sees dead people!""
 * Acquired Situational Narcissism: Though no stranger to the occasional bout of egocentrism, Oliver takes it to Jerkass levels after appearing on America's Top Talent, acquiring his own Groupie Brigade, and very nearly scuttling his relationship with Lilly.
 * Actor Allusion:
 * By proxy:

"Robbie Ray: Oooh, my achy breaky back!"
 * Another allusion once removed, when we find out Miley used to own a goldfish named Scaley Joel Osment.
 * Miley lives on Destiny Way. Miley Cyrus' birth name is Destiny Hope Cyrus.
 * Robbie Ray regularly makes Billy Ray Cyrus allusions, including an episode where he actually wears a mullet wig and calls himself Billy Ray Cyrus.

"Jackson: Jackson Stewart, come on down! You are the proud owner of a brand new... USED CAR! Yes, over the last fifteen years this pre-owned beauty has been driven around by heavy smokers and sloppy eaters, and one Wilma McDermott whose cat popped out six kittens in the front seat! Yes, some stains just don't come out!"
 * Affectionate Parody of Happy Gilmore, in which Robbie Ray encourages Rico to find his Happy Place as he coaches him in horseshoe-pitching.
 * The Alleged Car:
 * "Loretta", Mamaw Stewart's rickety old Cadillac Eldorado.
 * In Season 1, the car Jackson buys for himself.

"Lilly: Yeah, I meant what's going on at Rico's?
 * Asian Airhead: Ashley DeWitt...so pretty, so stupid.
 * Basement Dweller: Francis Corelli, Seaview High's Social Studies teacher.
 * Bathroom Stall of Overheard Insults: Defied. Miley is Genre Savvy enough to check for feet under the doors before talking about being Hannah.
 * Berserk Button:
 * Do not, I repeat, do not call Lilly stupid within earshot of Oliver!
 * It's a NAZEL condition!
 * Never cheat on Miley. It'll lead to Hannah
 * BLAM Episode: The episode "Kiss It All Goodbye", where Miley is suddenly hated and accused of being a liar, was highly implausible given Hannah's universal popularity
 * Boxing Kangaroo: Boxing a kangaroo was among the demeaning jobs Jackson subjected himself to in "Wherever I Go".
 * Brainless Beauty: In addition to the aforementioned Ashley DeWitt, there's also Brainless Bodacious Becky, a Shallow Love Interest of Jackson's.
 * Captain Obvious: From the episode "You Never Give Me My Money", in which the three friends arrive at Rico's to find a large tent:

Oliver: Oh. There's a tent up.

Lilly: Thank you, Captain Duh!"

"Jackson: Amnesia? What do you think this is, an episode of Gilligans Island?"

 * Cool and Unusual Punishment: In the episode "Ready, Set, Don't Drive", Miley gets arrested for driving with an invalid license. She got her license as Hannah Montana because she didn't want to wait two weeks for a retest. Why, you ask? She couldn't handle the embarrassment of showing up to Amber's big party when Amber had her license and she didn't. Does Robbie Ray ground her? Passe! Take away her allowance? Old hat! Instead, he drives her to the big party, and announces over a bullhorn that Miley didn't get her license.

 * In the episode "Debt it Be", Miley's dad gives her and Jackson credit cards. But Miley goes overboard with it and Jackson has to help come with a plan to keep her dad from finding out about it.

 * Crowd Song:
 * In "Get Down and Study-udy-udy", Miley leads her class in singing The Bone Dance to prove she hasn't been cheating, just learning differently. Notable for ignoring the otherwise ongoing plot point that Lilly can't sing by having her be the first one to join in and sing it well. Since Miley Stewart is not the kind of person her classmates would expect to put on a song and dance routine, it leads to Rico having a Master of Delusion moment.

 * Hair Raising Hare: When Jackson eats too much chocolate, he has nightmares about a Godzilla chocolate bunny.
 * Homage: A rather disturbing one for a Disney Channel show, in which Jackson's ventriloquist dummy Franklin, having apparently survived going through a wood chipper and taken on a life of his own, takes his revenge on Rico. Not to be intimidated, Rico delivers the following Lampshade Hanging before fighting back:

"Jake Ryan: Oh, and Natalie Portman, Britney Spears, and Jake Gyllenhaal? Name droppers!"
 * Hypocritical Humor:

"Miley: Two years ago, Fourth of July, remember? (stares up into the sky)

Miley: Here. (holds Lilly's chin and turns her head to the correct angle)

Lilly: Oh."

"Lilly: Ha! I've got you! I'm not gonna let you ruin my best friend's life!

 * Meet Cute: In "The Way We Almost Weren't", Miley and Jackson time-travel back to the diner where Robbie met their mother for the first time. When they accidentally interfere with the initial encounter, Jackson starts fading out of existence.

 * Meganekko:
 * The episode "You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Zit Is About You" reveals that Lilly wears contacts, and when her dog eats them, she had to wear glasses. Even though she hates them, they place her nicely into this trope.
 * Also, Miley dons a pair of glasses while she's Lilly's "lawyer" in the episode "You Are So Sue-able To Me".

 * Motor Mouth: Miley can spit out some fast lines, most notably in the finale.
 * Near Death Clairvoyance: When Miley was unconscious in the hospital, she leaves her body and observes what's happeneing around her.
 * Never Trust a Trailer: Perhaps the greatest fake-out in the history of television occurred when the promos for "Miley Says Goodbye, Part 2" edited footage from the episode to give the impression that Miley intended to follow through in her desire to return to Tennessee, when in fact the Stewarts were just getting a new pad.
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed:
 * Hannah and her friends sometimes end up on morning talk shows. Early in the series, the show would be Wake Up, It's Wendy! hosted by an Oprah parody. Later on, Hannah appears several times on Mack and Mickey in the Morning, which closely mimics FOX's The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet.
 * The host on Singing with the Stars was a parody of Simon Cowell.
 * "Byron", another Simon Cowell parody, shows up in "Judge Me Tender", now teamed up with his American Idol co-judges Randy Jackson (well, a parody named "Andy") and Kara DioGuardi (the real deal).
 * No Matter How Much I Beg: Miley gives Lilly her checkbook so she doesn't spend, and Lilly being true to the request refuses to give it back, even when Miley has a 'Miley doesn't live here anymore' moment.
 * The Obi Wannabe: In one episode, Hannah has found that kids will emulate just about everything she does, and is afraid to ever express her opinions or preferences on television. As such, Robbie Ray enlists Jackson to school her in the fine art of obfuscation. Miley learns the technique, only to find out later that it doesn't work on children, so Hannah ends up delivering the episode's Aesop about being yourself instead.

 * Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud: Hannah does this twice, while reading off a teleprompter in "People Who Use People".

Revised Ending The original ending was a All Just a Dream senario. The show was revealed to be the dream of a young Miley Cyrus. Thanks to Executive Meddling it was thought to be too confusing for children and the ending was changed to "Robbie Ray: Excuse me, we'd like to get off.

 * Secret Relationship:
 * In a nod to Star Wars, when Jake and Miley are secretly dating they use the code-names 'Anakin' and 'Queen Amidala'.

 * Teacher Student Romance: Hot for student variation: The school nurse has a conversation with Lilly and Miley that makes it sound like she's having an affair with Oliver, though it turns out she's actually talking about him having diabetes.

 * This Is the Part Where: The lyrics of the song "If We Were a Movie" -- meant to be sung by a girl to a boy who doesn't realize her feelings -- practically consists of trope names strung together. Miley sings the chorus when she's sitting by herself on the balcony and pining for Jake:

When Jackson gives Miley back a repaired bear, she goes to insane lengths to replace his ball before he finds out that it's missing. She's eventually successful in obtaining a signed ball, but it turns out the original one was actually a forgery.
 * Wimp Fight: When Miley and Jackson were fighting over whether or not they were going to tell Siena the "Hannah" secret, it escalated to physical violence. And by physical violence, I mean the both of them slapping each others hands.
