Line 14:
** Apparently, ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'' as well, in a parody segment called "Strawberry Shortbread Saves the Earth".
* [[Adorkable]]: Becky, the Girl Who was Raised By *'''''[[Sting|DUN DUN DUNNN]]'''''* Beavers!
* [[Affectionate Parody]] / [[Stylistic Suck]]: Similar to its role in ''[[Sonny With a Chance]]'', it is a parody of ''[[All That]]'', ''[[You Can't Do That On Television]]'', ''[[The Amanda Show]]'', ''[[Mickey Mouse Club|MMC]]'', etc. and its tone reflects that. [[PoesPoe's Law|Unfortunately, without knowing this]], [[Defictionalization|or with the burden of it having to stay true to its parodic nature and hold together as its own entity sans SWAC]], [[Broken Base|it can come across as over the top or mediocre in its own right]].
* [[Age Inappropriate Dress]]: ''Your Daughters Closet'', the only store that sells cool clothes to moms who are too old to rock them!
* [[The Band Minus the Face]]: At least where the nucleus of the cast is concerned, it is basically ''[[Sonny With a Chance]]'' minus Sonny. The behind the scenes plotlines concerning Sonny have been abandoned as well, but the behind the scenes part came for one episode only- the one where Tony Hawk guest starred.
Line 22:
** Including the fact that people think she throws tantrums.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: In [[The Muppets|Miss Piggy]]'s episode, we see her talking to Kermit on the phone. Her side of the conversation (we don't hear Kermit's) goes something like:
{{quote| "Kermit, Kermit. Let me explain this again. ''So Random!'', the [[Show Within a Show]] is now [[Spin -Off|its own show]]. Yes, Chad's a Random now, deal with it!"}}
* [[Call Back]]: In one of the Tantrum Girl skits, Allisyn Ashley Arm wears her Blossom Scout uniform from ''Sonny With A Chance''.
** Glendovia, the [[Ruritania|imaginary country]] featured in a ''[[Sonny With a Chance]]'' episode, gets a fair mention in one sketch.
Line 71:
* [[Muppet Cameo]]: "Miss Piggy".
* [[New Transfer Student]]: In one sketch, Oscar becomes the [[Funny Foreigner]] Olaf, who came from Glendovia.
* [[Parental Bonus]]: A few, with shout-outs to ''[[The King's Speech]]'' (a R-rated film with a famous [[Cluster F -Bomb]] scene) and "[[The Most Interesting Man in The World (Advertising)|The Most Interesting Man in The World]]" (an ad for ''beer'').
* [[Parody]]/[[Homage]]: [[MC Hammer|MC Grammar]].
* [[Retool]]: How do you carry on without your main character? Why focus on the [[Show Within a Show]] of course.
Line 78:
** He's made a couple other appearances since then.
* [[Sketch Comedy]]
* [[Spin -Off]]: In fact, the show (and its promos) removed all mentioning of the [[Sonny With a Chance|original show]] and counts it as a "New season of ''So Random''".
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To Nickelodeon's ''[[All That]]''.
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: "I'm Gonna Marry Zac Feldman Show!" revolves around one. The [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|name of the sketch]] is a dead ringer for it.
