Line 8:
== Tropes present include: ==
* [[The Ace]]: Becky is portrayed as one, being ridiculously smart and also very good with sports. however, Becky mentions that Nicky is actually the stronger and more creative one. (Becky mentions that she can't even bench-press 15 pounds!) See [[Fridge Brilliance]] down below.
* [[Adaptation Decay]]: Taken to hilarious extremes [[In
** Also with the character of ''Di''di O' ''S''haugh''n''ess''ey'', who is basically Pepper Ann after [[Executive Meddling]].
* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: Grampa Leo and Grandma Lilly. In an in-universe example, Grandma explains they were originally going to give all their children L names, but she was so hopped-up on epidurals she wrote the L backwards on Laney's birth certificate, making her Janey. They would have changed it, but it would have taken too much paperwork.
Line 39:
* [[Distant Finale]]: "The Finale" skips 15 years into the future to show what everyone will become after graduating middle school.
* [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune]]: A fairly early Disney example, as Kathleen Willhoite (voice of the title character) also contributes the vocals.
* [[Donut Mess
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Cissy Rooney
* [[Everyone Went to School Together]]: As seen in a flashback episode, it seems that everyone in Hazelnut Middle School was in the same kindergarten class.
Line 78:
** [[Rich Bitch]] Trinket is voiced by Jenna van Oy (Six from ''Blossom'').
** Coach Doogan is voiced by Kathy Najimy (Peggy Hill of ''[[King of the Hill]]'')
** The principal's voice is none other than Don Adams of ''[[
** Chuck Pearson (Pepper Ann's father) is voiced by Maurice [[La Marche]] and apparently the one thing he and Don Adams have in common is that they both voiced ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'' With Maurice voicing Gadget when Don Adams wasn't available.
** Moose is [[Recess|Spinelli]]...and [[King of the Hill|Bobby Hill]]...and [[Time Squad|Otto Osworth]]...and a lot of other prepubescent boys (Adlon rarely, if ever, plays girls. If she does play girls, they're tomboys, like Moose and Spinelli).
** Nicky's on/off boyfriend Stuart is [[Cam Clarke]], [[Metal Gear Solid|Liquid Snake]] and the singing voice of [[The Lion King|Simba]].
* [[Hold Up Your Score]]
* [[Homage]]: One subplot was one to [[
** There was the episode "Myself, My Mother," which is an homage to ''[[Freaky Friday]]''.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Pepper Ann's mother in "The Sisterhood" forces Pepper Ann to go to a Woman's bonding weekend seminar, talking about how ''her'' mother forced her to do all sorts of things she didn't want to and learned all sorts of skills that had no place in the real world (all the while making her do stuff like chainsaw ice statues and participate in a mock women's rights protest)
Line 107:
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Amber, the Locker Bandit.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: An in-universe example that's [[Played for Laughs]]. Nicky and Becky are both terrified of swans, and none of them remembers why. At the end of the episode, their mom throws a box of their old toys out...and inside is a swan that, when active, has glowing red eyes and says, "Swan wants to PLAAAAAAAYYYYY" in a very intentionally scary voice.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Pepper's mom marries [[Jeopardy
** [[Mark Hamill]] is a [[Recurring Character]] with [[Running Gag|strong jokey overtones]]. [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|In the near future]], he is elected President.
* [[Noodle People]]: Every character. Even the overweight characters have skinny arms.
Line 113:
* [[One of the Boys]]: Moose
** Also Pepper Ann on an episode where Pepper Ann enters a beauty contest to prove her femininity.
* [[Only Known
* [[Only Sane Man]]: When she is not having her random outburts, Nicky is close to being the only Normal person in Hazelenut.
** Maybe Moose as well.
Line 149:
* [[Valley Girl]]: Cissy Rooney (only Cissy was voiced by [[Kath Soucie]], not Gail Matthius)
* [[Violent Glaswegian]]: Shelf McLain, the school bully. It apparently runs in the family.
* [[Visit
* [[Voices Are Mental]]: A noteworthy rare ''aversion'' of this; when Pepper Ann and her mom swap minds, the voice actors do not trade jobs, but they do trade inflections and speech patterns.
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Moose does have a real name (Margaret Rose), but there is no explanation for Pepper Ann and several other characters.
