{{work}}

 

'''Drake Parker:''' ''Well, take a bath when you get home.'' }}

 

 

The two barely even knew each other before their parents got married, but ended up being fairly close and balancing each other out. Drake taught Josh how to not be so uptight and Josh tends to bring out a nicer side of Drake. Many episodes are about Drake getting Josh to do something a little outrageous and not be so stiff, and it usually involves a plan to make money or get a girl.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: In ''The Storm'':

'''Gary:''' It's called a blouse. }}

* [[As Himself]]: Tony Hawk in ''Go Hollywood'' and Gary Coleman in ''The Gary Grill''.

* [[Billing Displacement]]: In airings of the [[Christmas Special]], [[Miranda Cosgrove]] and Jerry Trainor (Carly and Spencer from ''[[iCarly]]'') are emphasized more. Some commercials will actually say "Starring Miranda Cosgrove and Jerry Trainor", even though Jerry Trainor is at most an [[Ascended Extra]].

* [[Biting the Hand Humor]]: When the brothers are stranded in the tree house, they can't contact their parents due to them having dinner with the ''Schneiders''.

Cheese's" with "Chuck E. Cheddar's" and "Gamecube" with "Gamesphere". Also, Drake and Josh drink "Mountain Fizz", "Dr.Fizz" and "Mocha-Cola". The list is endless.

* [[Education Through Pyrotechnics]]

* [[Embarrassing Cover Up]]: Driver's License gives a hilarious example after Drake pays for Josh's police ticket.

'''Josh:''' (stuttering) I mean... I'm thanking Drake for... (gulps) ''shaving'' my butt. }}

* [[Enter Stage Window]]

** There was also the time when Mindy framed Drake for putting their teacher's car in her classroom. Drake was likely going to lose until Megan decided to help. She even said she couldn't stand to see him sad, scared and upset like he was {{spoiler|unless she caused it.}}

* [[Even Nerds Have Standards]]:

'''Eric''': Pfft. '''Nerd.''' }}

* [[Failed Attempt At Drama]]

* [[Fan Girl]]: Wendy towards Drake in ''Number One Fan''.

* [[Fat and Skinny]]: At first, then Josh Peck lost ''a lot'' of weight

** {{spoiler|As Josh points out in the letter, the monkey was an adult and obviously too much for the then young Gilbert to handle. The one Drake and Josh send him is a baby and is much more passive.}}

'''Instructor:''' Oh, man... }}

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Walter is an awkward and usually clumsy man, clearly inherited by his son Josh.

** The Parkers' "attractiveness" seem to run in the blood. A few episodes deal with men (like Gavin) calling [[Hot Mom|Audrey]] ''hot''. Corey and Toplin (Thornton's little brother) are two boys who "had a thing" for Megan. [[Kidanova|And as for Drake Parker]]...

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Copious amounts of it, being a [[Dan Schneider]] show.

'''Josh:''' Wow, are you being part of '''Grammies Gone Wild'''? }}

** A scene features Josh following instructions over a salsa recipe over a radio cooking show. The announcer speaks with a cliche Latin-lover accent.] Cut to Josh holding a pepper in each of his hands.The announcer instructs to "Handle the ingredients as if they were a fine woman" and Josh quickly drops the peppers with an embarrassed expression, saying "Sorry, ma'am!"

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: One notable example is in the episode "Dr. Phyllis Show", where Drake and Josh both appear on the said fictional show (a parody of Dr. Phil) as the subjects for "bickering brothers". At one point, Dr. Phyllis scolds Drake and Josh having to resort to physical confrontations as she apparently doesn't seem to tolerate it. However, the boys later get into a physical fight with her for insulting her daughter, Liza Tupper.

** In ''Steered Straight'', Walter became Audrey's mannequin for a huge girl's prom dress, making him the subject of ridicule throughout the scene.

'''Walter:''' (annoyed) Sir! }}

* [[The "I Love You" Stigma]]: In a sweet parting moment at the door Mindy tells Josh that she loves him, which causes all sorts of awkwardness between them. Josh talks to Drake about it and implies he might love her back, causing Drake to [[Armor-Piercing Slap|slap him across the face]].

They get back together in the [[Grand Finale]].

* [[Imagine Spot]]

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: One of Drake's most definitive traits.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Drake. One episode in particular involved Josh and Mindy working on a project and discovering they have feelings for each other, but after a short time together she breaks up with him because Josh didn't tell Drake about it since he HATES Mindy. After learning about the whole ordeal, Drake is not only supportive of the relationship but actively helps Josh to get her back, saying if he likes the girl it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Both Parker siblings. In terms of wrongdoings, Drake is almost never caught (as lampshaded by Josh in ''Dune Buggy''), while Megan is NEVER caught.

** The theater thug is also this, due to everybody thinking Josh is the theater thug, and beat him up. {{spoiler|In the end of the episode the real thug shows up, but get's knocked out. When the police arrive, they arrest Josh thinking he's the thug, while the real one gets away.}}
