School of Rock: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Dewey telling the kid's parents what he taught their kids goes something like this: 'Math, science, uh.. geography, Latin, Spanish, French, Latin... Did I say math already?'

** Also, "It will test your head, and your mind, and your brain."

* [[E ~~Equals~~ MC Hammer]]: Dewey writes E=mc^2 on the board while pretending to teach the children something. Played with slightly in that he is totally clueless about teaching and this was presumably the only vaguely mathematical formula he could remember, and the school principal doesn't bat an eyelid when she walks into the room, even though the children are preteens.

* [[Everybody Owns a Ford]]: All the parents' cars are Volvos. Probably done for laughs, not [[Product Placement]], unless Volvo itself has a sense of humor about its' stereotypical owners.

* [[Everyone Chasing You]]: After the parents take one of Dewey's remarks literally, see [[That Came Out Wrong]] below.

Line 42:

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Marta, one of the back-up singers. She had them braided and below the jaw line in a dreary, bored fashion (the dull uniform doesn't help), until the very end at their concert where [[Expository Hairstyle Change|they're high up and loose]].

* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: Freddy wears a pair during the Battle of the Bands, [[Rule of Cool]] most likely.

* [[Hey It's That Guy|Hey It's That Guy!]]: [[Miranda Cosgrove]] before ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' and ''[[I Carly|iCarly]]'' as Summer.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Hey It's That Guy!]]: [[Miranda Cosgrove]] before ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' and ''[[I Carly|iCarly]]'' as Summer.

** And the rival band has [[Rent|Roger]] as the lead singer.

** [[The Sarah Silverman Program|Sarah Silverman]] as Ned's (the real one, not Dewey) overbearing girlfriend!

Line 66:

* [[Save Our Students]]: Played with. The kids didn't really ''need'' saving, but a fair few of them come out happier than they ever were.

* [[Serious Business]]: "One great rock show can change the world."

* [[Shout Out]]: Possibly with Freddy, his last name is [[Scooby Doo|Jones]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: Possibly with Freddy, his last name is [[Scooby Doo|Jones]].

** There's also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAfievfFej4 this sneaky homage] to Black's Channel 101 series ''[[Computer Man]]''.

** Dewey's school uniform at the Battle of the Bands is a shout-out to Angus Young.
