Power Trio -> Freudian Trio
(added stuff that somebody who isn't a fan of the work wouldn't know - spelled out the acronym "DCLAU", added to the description that this is a TV series) |
(Power Trio -> Freudian Trio) |
||
Line 9:
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Tanisha to Sophie
** [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: {{spoiler|Tanisha is Sophie's friend.}}
* [[And Starring]]: Rondell Sheridan
* [[Asian Airhead]]: Haley (Sophie's friend) (Type Two)
* [[Ass in Ambassador]]: Meena's father Raum Paroom, the [[Ruritania|Bahavian]] ambassador to the United States, smugly asserts the superiority of his own culture. He also forces his daughter to stand out like a sore thumb and restricts her relationships in the name of maintaining her cultural identity and [[Eagleland Osmosis|not getting too assimilated in American culture]]. He mellows out somewhat, but still has his moments.
Line 19:
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: In one episode, Newt falls in love with Cory in drag.
* [[Expy]]: A lot of recycled characters from TSR. Newt's an expy to Chelsea. Meena's an expy to Eddie. Hell, even Cory gets his own expy named Sophie.
* [[The Fool]]: ''Everyone''. Except for characters [[The Ditz|even]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|dumber]] than that, of course.▼
* [[Five-Man Band|Four Man Band]]: In a few episodes.
** [[The Hero]]: Cory
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
** [[Sixth Ranger|Fifth Ranger]]: Candy
** [[Tagalong Kid]]: Sophie
▲* [[The Fool]]: ''Everyone''. Except for characters [[The Ditz|even]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|dumber]] than that, of course.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Subverted with Meena. She seems well-assimilated in American culture, and her foreignness is only occasionally played for laughs.
** Her father seems to be more of a straight example, and forced Meena into most (if not all) of her [[Funny Foreigner]] situations with his insistence on tradition.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Sophie sometimes falls under this category.
* [[Kid Com]]
* [[No Party Given]]: Not only is President Martinez's party affiliation never mentioned, but he rarely does anything vaguely political from which one could hazard a guess.▼
* [[Our Presidents Are Different]]: The President Buffoon to be exact.
** Also qualifies as President Minority, as he's a Latino.
▲* [[No Party Given]]: Not only is President Martinez's party affiliation never mentioned, but he rarely does anything vaguely political from which one could hazard a guess.
▲* [[Power Trio]]: Cory (Id), Newt (Ego), and Meena (Superego).
* [[Replacement Flat Character]]: Sophie to Corey
* [[Ruritania]]: Meena apparently comes from a country named Bahavia. Bahavia seems to be a mixture of India and Russia.
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: About as often as could be expected from a low-budget [[Disney Channel]] [[Sitcom]] with zany situations, but Super-Speed DDR stood out well above the rest. There were also absolutely ''silly'' costumes, though some of them were intentionally unimpressive.
* [[Spin-Off]]
Line 45:
* [[The Theme Park Version]]: The White House and the President
* [[Three Amigos]]: Meena, Cory, and Newt.
* [[Totally Radical]]: The show's title. Cory's [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|excessive usage of the word "dang"]], but that's not the only factor...
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Candy's reason for the aforementioned [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]].
* [[Young Entrepreneur]]: Cory plays this trope straight. He is always coming up with some scheme to earn some extra bucks, which often get him in a lot of trouble.
