Line 8:
This was the last "old school" Disney Channel Original Series before the [[Follow the Leader|paradigm shifter]] ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]'' premiered in 2001 and pioneered the now infamous [[Strictly Formula|Disney Channel Formula]]. It remained the last show on the channel without a quirky "gimmick" as part of the premise until ''[[Good Luck Charlie]]'' premiered ''ten years later''.<ref> By this, we mean the last show produced ''solely'' by the channel; ''[[Life with Derek]]'' was produced in Canada.</ref>

* [[Accidental Athlete]]: Twitty in "Head Games".
* [[All Cheering, All the Time]]: [[Invoked]] and [[Played for Laughs]] in an episode Ren joins the squad, only to be criticized for not being perky enough; she takes this to heart and begins cheering all the time. This takes a turn for the bizarre where she cheers while doing laundry and suddenly realizes/cheers that a sock is missing... and still manages to make it rhyme and keep the pace.
* [[Animated Credits Opening]]: Done in [[Claymation]].
* [[Anti-Sneeze Finger]]: One episode uses this at the end, when Ren is getting a retake of her school photo. She is about to sneeze, but Louis puts his finger under her nose to stop it and save her from being photographed in mid-sneeze.
Line 43:
** Also a [[Fever Dream Episode]].
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Donnie had his fair share of shirtless scenes.
** Ren and her bikini could be an example of [[Ms. Fanservice]] in
* [[Official Couple]]: Louis and Tawny.
* [[Power Trio]]: Louis, Twitty and Tawny. Also; Ren, Ruby, and Monique.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Virtually all of Ren's friends except for Ruby and Monique.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Donnie Donnie is quite Masculine but enjoys getting facials and shaves his legs. In one episode, he turns the safety valve of the hot water heater so he could use use the scalding hot water from the shower in order to turn the bathroom into a sauna. [[Hilarity Ensures]] when Louis's candy bars that he has to sell melt after being to close to the heater.▼
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Coach Tugnut, especially in "Influenza: The Musical".▼

{{quote|'''Tugnut:''' It has been pointed out that my obstacle course is dangerous, cruel and sadistic. It has also been pointed out that I myself am dangerous, cruel, and sadistic. So I have decided to cancel 6th period.
'''*Kids cheer*'''
'''Tugnut:''' Just Kidding. I'm also funny. I should add that.
▲* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Coach Tugnut, especially in "Influenza: The Musical".
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''The Tell-Tale Heart'' by [[Edgar Allan Poe]].
* [[Slippery Swimsuit]]: Louis was trying to show his dad that he could be serious in a swimming contest, only for it to backfire horribly when he still managed to be the brunt of jokes due to his trunks falling off and his not realizing it until ''after'' Twitty points it out.
Line 57:
* [[Teen Genius]]: Ren, and to a lesser degree Tom Gribalski.
* [[Throw It In]]: In-Universe example: In the movie's beginning, during Ren's valedictorian speech, Louis and Beans (after tricking Donny into letting them go backstage) have a beach ball-shaped device bounce around the podium, with Tugnut (who was asleep during the speech) being ordered by Weskler into grabbing the ball and restoring order. Louis intended for the ball, when exploding, to release confetti. However, Beans (who presumably was the one who actually created the ball) misheard his instructions and said that he thought Louis said "spaghetti", right after the ball detonates and sprays the coach with the brunt of spaghetti and meatballs. Louis then said to Beans that his mishearing things made the prank even better.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Donnie. "When I look at the sun, I have to squint."
** This sequence from [[The Movie]] when the family learns that the "tribe" has shunned them.
{{quote|'''Miles:''' You have been shunned.
'''Donnie:''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|YES!]]<br />
'''Eileen:''' No, Donnie. That's bad.
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]: Virtually every episode had a main plot and "B" story, with one revolving around Louis and the other involving Ren. The show alternated which character received the A plot and which received the B plot.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: Louis and Tawny.
