Line 45:
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: The only boy in the new official canon (And on the website) at this point is Eitan, and while Cameron, Dylan and various others have been released as dolls under the Bratz Boyz moniker, Eitan is part of the main ensemble-image on the website with the girls.
* [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]]: One of the discontinued characters is a Japanese girl named May Lin. [[Did Not Do the Research|Oops!]]
** Katia and her father, introduced in ''Bratz: Genie Magic'', is ''obviously'' Russian, according to Cloe's latest blog post, she's now Moroccan (This might be a case of [[Did Not Do the Research]] since the fashions in Genie Magic had a slight Moroccan influence).
* [[Blithe Spirit]]: No one other than the Bratz in [[The Movie]] had even ''thought'' about ''talking'' to people outside of their cliques, let alone sitting at a different cliques' lunch table, until they came along.
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Burdine and the Tweevils
* [[Bowdlerize]]: The recent comeback has the girls dressing in layers and pastels for no apparent reason. This wouldn't be so bad if they were actually well done though. All of the make-up is the same now too.
* [[Broken Aesop]]: The main characters constantly tell the one-shot characters that they should follow their own unique sense of style... right after they give them a makeover or get done gawking at the villains' untrendy [[Limited Wardrobe]].
** In addition, the villains are supposed to reinforce the message that the viewer should be unique and look like nobody else... and yet the main characters and their boyfriends are all recolors of one another. (Yes, that includes their outfits.)
Line 55:
* [[Colon Cancer]]: Bratz: The Musical: Girlz Really Rock
* [[Dawson Casting]]: The movie, where Jade, Yasmin and Sasha are played by actresses atleast close to high school age, but Cloe is played by Skyler Shaye, who is twenty one.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: In ''Bratz Rock Angelz'', after Jade gives [[Lean and Mean|Burdine]] a double cheeseburger for lunch, Burdine fires Jade, [[Up to Eleven|her children and her grandchildren]] from the Your Thing magazine for life and tells her that she'll never work in any magazine from that day onwards.
** Then Jade and the rest of the Bratz fake being employees of ''Your Thing'' and then Byron Powell gets the ''Your Thing'' crew ''kicked out'' of a concert because they're not dressed punk.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The Fashion Pixiez movie contains a scene that looks surprisingly like a rave party, with everybody attending high on [[G-Rated Drug|'evil pixie magic']].
Line 64:
* [[Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry]]
* [[Expy]]: Struts, which is ''Bratz'' [[X Meets Y|meets]] ''[[My Little Pony]]''.
** Someone also did [[Cunning Like a Fox|Foxz]], who were even creepier than the Strutz and Bratz put together. Even the [[Furry Fandom]] thought they looked like cheap hos.
* [[The Fashionista]]: Jade, although the slogan implies the whole line is about this.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Katia the genie from ''Genie Magic''.
Line 72:
* [[Girl Posse]]: Quinn and Avery, Meredith's yes men.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Cloe
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** Burdine Maxwell's voice sound familiar? Thats because you probably know her as [[Just Shoot Me|Nina Van Horn]] or [[The Emperor's New Groove|Chica]].
** Cloe is [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Ty Lee]]
** Yasmin is [[The Fairly Odd Parents|Trixie Tang]]
** Jade is [[Punky Brewster]]
** Sasha is [[Sister, Sister|Tia Landry]] and [[The Game (TV series)|Melanie Davis]]
** Kirstee and Kaycee are [[The Big Bang Theory|Penny]] and [[Mean Girls|Gretchen Weiners]], respectively.
** After Lionsgate took over production, Chloe became [[Sabrina the Animated Series|Sabrina]] (in ''Sabrina's Secret Life'') and [[Baby Looney Tunes|Baby Lola Bunny]], Jade became [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Rainbow Dash]], and Kaycee became [[Barbie]]
Line 85:
* [[Informed Flaw]]: In ''The Movie'', Cloe is supposed to be clumsy. But that doesn't stop her from being the best soccer player on the school's team, capable of pulling off moves that only professional players can do. Her clumsiness even gets the girls into the situation where they make up and become friends again and lets her spend time with her crush.
** In one of the animated movies, Jade is publicly humiliated at school when word got out about her fashion ''disaster''... which was... a pretty cute and unique outfit. despite the fact that there didn't seem to be ''any'' thing wrong with it, all of her friends say that it looks terrible. Instead she happily chooses to wear a generic yellow dress identical to the other ones everyone else wore to the dance, and happily declares that she finally got her individual fashion sense back.
* [[Insult Backfire]]: In both ''Rock Angelz'' and the live-action movie, the girls get the idea for their group's name from a mean girl calling them "brats." It's much more subtle in ''Rock Angelz'' than in ''Bratz: The Movie''.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Burdine and the Tweevils.
* [[Live Action Adaptation]]: ''Bratz: The Movie'', which was nominated for several Razzies (including "Worst Movie"), and was described by one reviewer as "the reason why terrorists hate [America]."
Line 111:
* [[Series Franchise]]
* [[Spinoff Babies]]: ''Lil' Bratz'', ''Bratz Babyz'', ''Bratz Boyz'', ''Bratz Kidz'', ''Bratz Petz''...
* [[Stripperiffic]]- The dolls have been accused of being this, with some degree of truth. Due to what might or might not be unfortunate tailoring, there have even been Bratz dolls with pronounced camel toe.
** MGA seems to be trying to change this with the new dolls, who are much more covered.
* [[Take That]]: Burdine, the Tweevils, and Meredith all have [[Hair of Gold|blonde hair]], [[Blue Eyes]], and are always shown [[Princesses Prefer Pink|wearing the color pink]]. Burdine also reminds Kaycee of "that fashion doll" Kirstee used to hit her with when they were 3. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Hmm...]]
