Line 42:
* [[Drama Queen]]: Sharpay
* [[Duet Bonding]]: Troy and Gabriella, twice.
* [[E
* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: Sort of justified, however, in that it started out as a Disney TV movie that they didn't expect would be so popular. Had they any inkling, it probably would have been released to theaters.
* [[Fake American]]: Oleysa Rulin (Kelsi) is originally from Russia.
Line 64:
* [[Large Ham]]: [[Two Words Obvious Trope]]: Zac Efron. Watch ''Bet On It'' and you'll see. And Mrs. Darbus of course.
** [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Sharpay and Ryan.
* [[Last
* [[Letting Her Hair Down]]: Kelsi, at the end.
* [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: Sharpay by the end of each movie, and all the time in the spin-off film.
Line 82:
* [[Romance On the Set]]: Between Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. Every time pairs were needed during a dance, Kenny Ortega would always put them together.
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Ms. Darbus (until the third movie, that is).
* [[Saw Star Wars
* [[Serious Business]]: The passion and drama put into songs about things like the jock and the genius daring to try out for the musical reach ludicrous levels.
** For example, see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBVUlgG8Lm8 "Stick to the Status Quo"]. ''"No, no, ''[[Big No|NOOOOOOOOO]]''!!!"'' about a basketball player being able to bake, a nerdy girl liking hip-hop, and a skater dude playing the cello indeed.
Line 103:
** It also helps that the songs are rearranged to downplay the [[Squick]] factor; the love song "What I've Been Looking For" is sped up and fits a brother-sister bond nicely, and "Bop to the Top" is clearly addressed to the audience, not each other.
** On the flip side, there's an awful lot of fanfiction out there that pair the two. A few explain it away as Ryan and Sharpay not actually being related, though most keep the relationship intact. Of course, many fics lean towards the angsty, tortured side.
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: "[
** That the [[Alpha Bitch]] has a name that sounds like a kind of ''dog'' is possibly a [[Stealth Pun]].
* [[Villain Song]]: The songs themselves aren't really villainous, but Ryan and Sharpay still get the best ones.
