Bromwell High
Bromwell High (2005) is a British animated comedy.
Keisha, Latrina, and Natella form a Comic Trio at Bromwell High, an incredibly poor state school, and the show profiles the wacky hijinks of their everyday lives. The show also notably averts Two-Teacher School by giving the teachers just as big of a part (if not bigger) in the plots as the students.
The series' thirteen episodes aired on Teletoon, and had an incomplete run on the UK's Channel 4.
Tropes used in Bromwell High include:
- Absurdly Powerful Student Council: The student council president is given absolute power, even above that of the headmaster, though this is only discovered by digging through the school records.
- Always Someone Better: Tamsin.
- Apathetic Teacher: A school full of them.
- Especially Martin.
- Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: Natella often asks Keisha this.
- British Brevity: Thirteen episodes.
- Butch Lesbian: Ms. Gosby, so much.
- Butt Monkey: Kylie.
- Catch Phrase: Latrina has a bunch; most common are "* blank* is for gays!" and "Like me that time."
- Cloudcuckoolander: Latrina and Mr. Philips.
- Cluster S Bomb:

- Dumb Muscle: Keisha.

- Only Sane Man: Natella - although she can be just as neurotic as any other character given the circumstances.

- Redheaded Stepchild: Kylie.
- Status Quo Is God
- Tourette's Shitcock Syndrome: Carol, although it's used as a one-off joke.
