Line 7: ''He's the [[Title Drop\|American Dragon]]!"''\|''' Opening theme song'''}} ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'' (2005-2007) was a [[Disney Channel]] cartoon about a young teenager growing up in a world full of weird goings-on. OK, so that's almost ''all'' Disney Channel cartoons. More specifically, Jake Long is the "American Dragon", a cocky, brash youngster with the power to shapeshift into his reptilian alter-ego, serving as a sort of [[Superhero]] for the magical creatures that [[Masquerade\|live in secret]] (Harry-Potter-style) in the human world. Line 20: The series was canceled in fall 2007 after a run of 52 episodes. A similar premise exists in the [[Cartoon Network]] show ''[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]'. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This show contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Academy of Evil]]: The Huntsclan Academy. * [[Achilles' Heel]]: Sphinx Hair for dragons. Usually, it is only used to force dragons back into their human forms, but the episode "Bite Father, Bite Son" suggests that Sphinx Hair is far more dangerous than that, and might even be fatal if dragons are exposed to it for too long. Line 36 ⟶ 37: * [[Baby Talk]]: Rose mocks Jake in this way in "Ski Trip". {{quote\|'''Rose''': Aww, is the big, bad blizzard wind too much for your wittle dwagon fire? }} * [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]]: One episode focuses on The Huntsman trying to resurrect Huntsclan soldiers that have passed away with a magical beetle. {{spoiler\|When Jake makes it so that The Huntsman can't finish the spell, the hunters die once again}}. Done again with Jake's blood {{spoiler\|resurrecting The Dark Dragon.}} * [[Badass Abnormal]]: It's easy to forget that dragon powers aside, Jake is trained and proficient in kung-fu. Besides his [[Super-Powered Evil Side\|evil doppelganger]] humiliating [[Jerk Jock\|Brad]], Jake once smacked down giant four foot tall killer bugs without even bothering to dragon up. * [[Badass Normal]]: Rose. Pretty much the entire Huntsclan, really, but when a fourteen-year-old girl built like a drinking straw is fighting huge firebreathing dragons to a standstill you know you don't want to get on her bad side. * [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: {{spoiler\|"Being Human"}}. Sure, Jake is safe and {{spoiler\|Chang and Bananas B get trapped in a cave, but they still succeed in their goal of resurrecting The Dark Dragon}}. * [[Berserk Button]]: [[Our Vampires Are Different\|The Strigoi]] pushed Mr. Long's when they hurt Jake in "Bite Father, Bite Son". * [[Beware of the Nice Ones]]: Jake's father and the Tooth Fairy. The first, when he sees his son in danger, gave a run for their money to the [[Our Vampires Are Different\|Strigoi]] and ''pushed the Jersey's Devil off a cliff'', the second, in ''Hong Kong Knights'', {{spoiler\|killed the Dark Dragon for [[Berserk Button\|ruining her dress]] by throwing i-beams at him with a crane}}. * [[Big Bad]]: The Huntsman. * [[Bigger Bad]]: The Dark Dragon. Line 59 ⟶ 60: * [[The Cameo]]: [[Let's Make a Deal\|Monty Hall]] as himself -- ''as a bad guy'' (one of Pandarus's flunkies). Later gets fired and is seen drinking away his troubles in a malt shop. {{quote\|'''Monty Hall''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny\|C'mon! Monty's got a big bowl of pain behind door number three!]]}} ** Also [[Fillmore!\|Ingrid Third]] can be seen briefly in a crowd scene in ''Halloween Bash.'' * [[Capulet Counterpart]]: Rose. * [[Catch Phrase]]: "Awwwwww, ''man''!" Line 74 ⟶ 75: ''Body Guard Duty'': {{spoiler\|"You should keep that in mind when you find out the dark, awful truth about Rose"}}. ''The Rotwood Files'': {{spoiler\|Rotwood tricks Jake into revealing himself as a dragon and vows to expose him one day}}. ''Being Human'': {{spoiler\|Chang's spell works and The Dark Dragon comes [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]]}}. YMMV, but ''Half Baked'' might qualify as well. * [[Clip Show]]: A montage of clips from the past season is used over the end credits of the final episode.
