The OC: Difference between revisions

* [[Author Avatar]] - Seth Cohen is Josh Schwartz.

* [[Bait and Switch]] - In this example from 3.18

'''Jess''': Did you know Trey's dealing? (''Ryan turns around'') Blackjack, off the strip. }}

* [[Batman Gambit]] - Caleb Nichols almost pulls this off in Season One. This results in Jimmy {{spoiler|punching him in the face and ruining his deal in a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].}}

** Kirsten finds Ryan with Lindsay (2x08, "The Power of Love") in almost the exact same position she found him with Marissa (1x10, "The Perfect Couple").

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09diX06ILqg Seth being stealth](2x07) and tagging along with Ryan (4x02)

'''Seth:''' I won't get in the way, you know how stealth I can be. }}

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]] - Hardly an episode goes by without the use of this trope.

* [[Cunning Linguist]] - Taylor Townsend is fluent in French, Korean and Spanish and is able to use enough Latin to deliver her valedictorian speech in that language.

* [[Dawson Casting]] - Lampshaded in "The L.A."

'''Seth''': It's ''Hollywood'', man. }}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Defictionalization]]: Before the series, "OC" was sometimes used in print as shorthand for "Orange County," but very rarely in speech, and never prefixed with a "the." Many Orange County residents scoffed at the show's title, but over the years, some of them really do refer to the region "the OC" without irony.

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Kirsten, before Ryan joined the family and caused her to soften. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|a touching scene]] in the fourth season premiere, "The Avengers", when Seth puts together a comic book illustrating the Cohens' lives before he joined the family.

* [[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: {{spoiler|Marissa, in Ryan's, in the Season 3 finale.}}

* [[Diegetic Switch]]: Though not as often as [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]].

* [[Genki Girl]] - Taylor Townsend

* [[Genre Savvy]] - Seth. Almost to the point of breaking the fourth wall sometimes. At the beginning of one episode he notes that everything has been going so well lately that something is bound to go wrong.

Or a-ringin'... Don't answer it, it's probably a flaming bag of crap. }}

* [[Gold Digger]] - Julie Cooper
