This is a Canadian animated reply to ''[[Friends]]'' which follows the lives of six teenagers as they first seek, then maintain gainful employment at the [[The Mall|Galleria Shopping Mall]]. The series lasted from November, 2004 to February, 2010. A total of 93 episodes in four seasons.

Line 23:
** Oddly, played straight when Caitlin barfs on the rollercoaster and remains completely clean while everyone else gets covered in vomit.
*** Though the fact that Caitlin vomited in the first place is an aversion in itself.
**** Caitlin herself is a walking aversion. Though the girliest of the girly-girls, she also does some of the grossest stuff in the show.
** An entire episode was based around the fact that Nikki absolutely ''destroyed'' Jonesy's bathroom after a particularly terrible bowel movement, and Jonesy's forced to accept the fact that this trope does not exist in reality, and that girl's aren't, in fact, above such grotesque things.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Jonesy and Nikki.
* [[Building of Adventure]]: The Galleria Mall.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: In the [[Grand Finale]] {{spoiler|Nikki's family moves to Iqaluit after her father gets his dream job; the episode ends with the remaining five realizing that while she's not there right now, their lives will still be all right with out her.}}
** [[Hope Spot]]: {{spoiler|Nikki's family even agrees not to move after seeing how much Nikki's friends care about her, but she decides that she has to do the mature thing and move anyway so her father can have his dream.}}
* [[The Blind Leading the Blind]]: Characters often make the mistake of taking dating advice from [[In Love with Love|Caitlin]] or [[Casanova Wannabe|Jonesy]].
Line 42:
* [[Channel Hop]]: In the U.S, first showed up on ''[[Nickelodeon]]'', then a couple of years after they dropped it. Wound up on [[Cartoon Network]] (presumably due to the successful run of ''[[Total Drama Island]]'').
* [[Christmas Episode]]: There are actually 3 of these,... all taking place [[Not Allowed to Grow Up|within the same year?]]
** It's even weirder, as Jen's mom and Jonesey's dad were just dating at the start of the show. They weren't even engaged yet. Then they had to be engaged for awhile (it certainly looked like a full-blown wedding), and apparently conceived a child within wedlock. So I'd assume they were, in fact, seventeen by the end of the series.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] (Jude appears to show signs every now and then of him being a little off)
* [[Closet Geek]]: Chrissy is a big Star Wars geek but hides it from her popular friends, "The Clones", who are three [[Alpha Bitch|Alpha Bitches]] who act and dress exactly the same. She'd always been the most independent of them.
** This is [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] because she's one of the '''clones'''.
* [[Curse Cut Short]] (There are many uses of this involving the word 'Bitch', it's ridiculous. Once completely averted in "The Sushi Connection" when The Clones teased Nikki due to her assistant manager nametag saying ASS. MAN, short for Assistant Manager)
Line 128:
** When the gang reveal their embarassing secrets to each other, Caitlin adamantly tells them that hers won't be repeated before telling. Soon after, she goes and blabs their secrets to her boyfriend of the day because since they're dating, they shouldn't keep secrets from each other (while conveniently neglecting to tell him her own). This goes downhill as said boyfriend blabs said secrets while under hypnosis, causing the gang to cut Caitlin off from them for breaking their trust. Once the gang plan to take their revenge, she says best friends don't go blabbing other people's secrets (which she had done in the first place).
** When Jen and Nikki are taking a survey and ask Jonesy if he'd dump a girl for answering the phone with "Y'ello" he says he would because it's annoying. Later in the episode he answers his phone that same way.
** In the pilot, Tricia ends her friendship with Caitlin because of her Big Squeeze uniform, leaving her devastated as to why Tricia would do that to her for such a trivial reason. Wyatt comments on this, asking what kind of person would judge people by their clothes, which Caitlin admittedly raised her hand to. She then tries to justify it by saying she wouldn't do that to a friend at least.
* [[Girls Are Really Scared of Horror Movies]]
* [[Halloween Episode]]: ''Boo, Dude'' and the hour long special ''Dude of the Living Dead''.
Line 144:
** The same goes for Nikki.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: They all wear the exact same outfit or outfits (usually just a specific uniform they change into for a job) every day.
* [[Literal -Minded]]: In "Love at Worst Sight" Jude failed an eye exam because he thought he was supposed to literally read the chart.
* [[The Mall]]: The Galleria Shopping Mall, to be exact.
* [[May-December Romance]]: Although it's not exactly a romance, it's evident the mutual sexual tension between Jonesy and Yummy Mummy.
Line 152:
** Happens again when Jonesy volunteers to tell Wyatt that Marlowe is dumping him, and telling him in a cafe infamous for being a hotspot for couples breaking up. When Wyatt shouts his reaction in the wrong way, the customers (particularly the females) immediately mistook them for a gay couple breaking up because "Jonesy is deciding to switch teams". For some odd reason, despite their own break-ups with their boyfriends, the girls were angry that Jonesy's "breaking up with Wyatt". It didn't help that after Jonesy gets chased out, Wyatt runs after, asking something that could also be taken the wrong way.
** Nikki as well when she tries to find out if her new friend has a crush on her. The girl thought Nikki was trying to ask her out and politely declines because she already has a girlfriend.
*** What episode was that?
**** It's Role Reversal.
* [[Must Have Caffeine]]: Wyatt.
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: You should probably expect this from the makers of ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' - Jen is shown naked at least three times with Jonesy a close second. Jude as well, while ''skydiving''.
Line 216:
* [[Sue Donym]] (When Jude tries to be a goth, he goes by "Judas")
* [[Sweetheart Sipping]]: Jonesy and Nikki. Nikki, really?
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Nikki's [[Girl of the Week|Guy of the week]] Stone
* [[Talent Show]]: On Idol Time At The Mall, an [[American Idol]]-type show [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|comes to the mall]].
* [[The Picture Came with the Frame]]: Done on the Christmas special, to show how lonely Ron the mall cop is.
