Line 1: {{work}} [[File:~~kenan_kel_th~~kenan kel th.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\| ''Awwwwwwwww... Here it goes!''}} In what would become a recurring theme among the show's alumni, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were such a big hit on [[Nickelodeon]]'s variety show ''[[All That]]'' that they were [[Sit Comic\|given their own TV show]]. Set in Chicago, the sitcom chronicled the misadventures of ambitious Kenan Rockmore and dimwitted Kel Kimble. ''Kenan & Kel'' aired from 1996 to 2000. As of July ~~25th~~25, 2011, it airs as part of [[Teen Nick]]'s "[[The 90s Are All That]]" block Not to be confused with the ~~webcomic~~web comic ''[[Kevin and Kell]]''. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes found in this series include: ===~~ * [[All Love Is Unrequited]] -: Kenan constantly fails to impress his pretty co-worker, and Kel is completely oblivious (or plain annoyed) to the fact that Kenan's little sister, Kyra, has a massive crush on him. * [[Applied Mathematics]] -: Kenan once uses this trope to explain Kel his plan, Kel then tells him he can't add things that aren't numbers. * [[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?]]{{context}} * [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Aside from the [[Noodle Implement~~\|Noodle Implements~~]]s, "Ditch Day Afternoon" had this: {{quote\| '''Newscaster''': It seems the robbers have demanded a car, a helicopter, $2,000,000 and curiously...some orange soda.}} * [[~~You Fail Law Forever\|~~Artistic License - Law]]: "The Tainting of the Screw" seems to ignore the idea of tort reform. Found a screw in your tuna? Sue the company for $10,000,000! * [[Auction]]{{context}} * [[Big No]]: In ''Diamonds are for Roger'' Kenan and Kel sit down next to a man asking why he's arrested. {{quote\| Man: I was just fixing a guy's teeth.~~<br />~~ Kenan: Ooh, so you're a dentist.~~<br />~~ Man: '''NOOO!''' }} * [[Birthday Suit Surprise Party]]{{context}} * [[Black Humor]]: Kenan and Kel cause bad things to happen to a sweater. This sweater belongs to Kenan's date, and is irreplaceable because it was made by the girl's grandma who passed away. * [[Broken Record]]: "Time to write! Time to write! Time to write!" ** "I! DROPPED THE SCREW! IN THE TUNA!" * [[Butt Monkey]] -: Kenan's Dad and Chris. * [[Can't Get Away ~~With~~with Nuthin']]: Almost every episode ends this way. * [[Catch Phrase]] -: "Aww, here it goes!" from Kel at the beginning and ending of each episode. '''WHHHHHYYYYYYY?!''' And of course, "Who loves orange soda?" Line 37: ** '''"Open me, Kel! Enjoyyyyy meeeeeeee!"''' '''"Nooooooooooooo, I can't!"''' * [[The City vs. the Country]]: The two-parter where Kenan's family moves to Montana so Roger can live out his dream of being a park ranger. Subverted when the whole family hates the run-down house, Kenan hates his new school and Roger finds his job boring and the family can't wait to move back to Chicago. * [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] -: Kyra * [[Clip Show]]: One episode, in which Kenan and Kel introduce a clip show, but have a fight. The show can't actually start, so time is spent trying to get them to make up - with numerous clips shown in the process. * [[Cloudcuckoolander]] - Kel Line 56: * [[Do It Yourself Plumbing Project]] - It ended up flooding Kenan's basement. * [[Ditzy Genius]] - It is revealed in one episode that Kel has a genius IQ (even higher than Kenan's), despite being a dimwit. * [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Monkeys]] - "We Are The Chimpions". * [[The Faceless]] - Chris's mother * [[Heel Face Mole\|Face Heel Mole]]: During the 18th annual grocery bagging contest, Chris' rival Angus offers a job for Kel as a way to win the contest. Kel accepts, but {{spoiler\|during the contest, Kel succumbs to the pressure, allowing Kenan to win. Kel was feigning, that's the reason he accepted the temporary job.}} Line 69: * [[The Ghost]] - Chris's mother. * [[Ghost Story]]: {{quote\| '''Kel''': When the bread popped out of the toaster, no one knew what to put on it jelly, margarine, cinnamon-sugar. I suggested butter, crumbs were everywhere...~~<br />~~ '''Kenan''': Man! He said let's tell ghost stories not toast stories. }} * [[Hero ~~With~~with Bad Publicity]] - In one episode, "Foul Bull". * [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] * [[How Much Did You Hear?]] - Kyra managed to get her way when she eavesdropped into one of Kenan's schemes. * [[Idea Bulb]]: Parodied in one episode; Kenan is standing in front of a lamp when he has an idea. * [[Inner Monologue Conversation]]: One episode begins with Kenan and Kel prepping the audience, then thinking to themselves about each other and the audience. Inexplicably, halfway through the intro, Kenan is able to hear Kel's thoughts and proceeds to tell him what to do while in Kel's head. Kel is left wondering why he can't actually talk back, then opens the episode anyway. Line 82: * [[Jail Bake]] - In "The April Fools" Kel tries to smuggle Kenan a very obvious saw in a cake. It doesn't work. * [[Limited Wardrobe]] - One must wonder if Kenan and Kel ever change their underwear. * [[Locked in Aa Freezer]] - One episode had everyone in the restaurant locked in the restaurant's freezer. * [[Love Letter Lunacy]] - It was actually a love poem Kenan wrote for class (He didn't know they were going to read it out loud) and carelessly threw away. Said poem reached his good friend's girlfriend, [[Hilarity Ensues]]. * [[Misplaced Wildlife]] - In "Natural Born Kenan", Kenan dreams that his "real" parents are snow-people from the north pole, and they have a pet penguin. Justified of course, since it ''is'' a dream. Line 98: ** Notably, at the end of the final episode, the curtains open, showing [[Continuity Porn\|every single item]] Kenan [[Brick Joke\|had requested over the years]]. * [[Noodle Incident]] - Kel gives Kenan a [[Long List]] of things he was talked into doing: {{quote\| '''Kel''': You talked me into [[Wholesome Crossdresser\|wearing pantyhose]], you talked me into tickling that policeman...you talked me into selling my kidney, you talked me into [[Crosses the Line Twice\|gluing myself to that train]]--you remember ''that''?~~<br />~~ '''Kenan''': [[Crowning Moment of Funny\|Oh, yeah; you ran pretty fast]]!~~<br />~~ '''Kel''': '''I HAD to'''! }} ** In "I'm Gonna Get You Kenan", right after Kenan turned on the TV: {{quote\| '''Newscaster:''' ...and that pickle never swam again.}} * [[Nuclear Family]] * [[Once an Episode]] - "Who loves orange soda?" Line 112: ** This trope just gave Me an idea. Grab a flashlight, some glitter and a flare gun and meet Me at the cemetery. Come On, slappy! * [[Offscreen Crash]] - Often. * [[Ow, My Body Part]] {{quote\| '''Kyra:''' You're squeezing my liver!~~<br />~~ '''Kenan:''' Your liver? }} * [[Pepper Sneeze]] - They tried using pepper to confirm the identity of a criminal dressed as a clown but they ran out and ended up using Chris' mom's "[[Squick\|foot crust dust]]". Line 120: * [[Prepare to Die]] - "You have angered Chimpy..." * [[Rashomon Style]] - The recounting of how a botched robbery ended in the robber unconscious on the ground. Kel's recounting consists solely of his inability to open a gigantic bottle of orange soda that coaxes him to open it, much to his heartbreak. {{quote\| '''Police officer:''' What does that have to do with the robbery?~~<br />~~ '''Kel:''' Nothing. It's about orange soda. You have to pay attention! }} * [[Refuge in Audacity]] - The last act of ''Two Heads Are Better Than None," where they chow down on a human dinner with five other guests, three of whom are murdered off-screen during the course of the dinner, their severed heads later found on a table in the basement, next to other two [[The Fool\|in stocks, seemingly ignorant of their surroundings]]. Just...wow. Line 131: * [[Shout-Out]]: Kel tries to learn an episode's plot by reading the TV listings, but reads a description for ''[[Rugrats]]'' instead. In "Foul Bull", Kenan tried to change the channel to ''[[My Brother and Me]]'', his favorite character is Goo. Kel Kimbel in: ''[[Singin' in ~~The~~the Rain ~~(Film)~~\|Drinkin' Orange Rain]]'' * "[[Star Wars\|May the Pork be with you.]]" "[[Family Matters\|Did I do that?]]" * [[Something Completely Different]]: "Futurama," the [[Zeerust]] episode. * [[Spanner in ~~The~~the Works]] - Kel, occasionally Kenan. * [[Standardized Sitcom Housing]] * [[Stand-In Parents]]: Kenan once felt the need to hire stand-ins for a conference with his school principal. * [[The Show Goes Hollywood]]: There's an episode when they catch the wrong plane and end up in Hollywood. They were trying to go to ''an orange soda convention''. * [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: During her birthday party in "Clownin' Around," Kyra has to put up with an [[Alpha Bitch]] that's obnoxious to her and crushing on Kel. Kyra eventually stands up for herself, but Kel then plays the trope straight - making a point of siding with Kyra and giving her a kiss on the cheek. ** Subverted at the end of the same episode. Kenan quickly ends the show and is about to walk off, but Kel interrupts the credits to ask about the lack of a final wacky plan. Kenan said he was intending to give Kel a break this time... only to then think of a new plan. * [[Title Drop]] - Subverted. Kel holds a camera in front of him and Kenan with a red curtain behind them: "It's like we have our own show: ''The Kel and Kenan Show''!" ** In "Natural Born Kenan", in Kenan's dream Kel said he and the Rockmore's "real" son Kevin are going to have their own show: ''Kevin and Kel''. * [[To Be Continued]]: Kel says this in "Bye-Bye Kenan: Part 1" and "Aw, Here It Goes to Hollywood: Part 1". * [[Tongue Onon the Flagpole]] - Or a fish in a restaurant refrigerator in this case. ** Kenan's parents too. * [[Token White]] - Chris Potter Line 155: * [[Trail of Bread Crumbs]]: Kel leaves some of these while he and Kenan climb up the stairs of the tallest building in Chicago. Kenan reminds him they're just going upstairs and they'll come back downstairs. * [[You Answered Your Own Question]]: In "Clowning Around". {{quote\| '''Kenan:''' Quick! What's the number for 911?~~<br />~~ '''Kel:''' ''(long pause)'' I forget.~~<br />~~ ''(Kenan groans)'' }} * [[Zany Scheme]] - Kenan was fond of these. They [[Status Quo Is God\|never ever worked out.]] Line 163: ---- [[Once an Episode\|Kel,]] grab a [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence\|picket fence]], [[More Dakka\|a minigun]], and [[Power of Love\|the power of love]] and meet me at [[~~The Other Wiki\|~~the Other Wiki]]! Now come on... Tropey! Kenan?! How am I supposed to get a picket fence?! The other wiki, I don't even know about the first wiki! And who can I get the power of love from? Isn't that the crazy future song?! KE-KENAN?!?!
