Line 69:
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]:
** [[Ashley Tisdale]], a natural brunette, was asked to dye her hair blonde for the role of Maddie as a possible aversion of the [[Dumb Blonde]].
*** However In the [[Alternate Universe]] of "The Suite Smell of Success", Maddie is one to hers and London's lives being switched.
** In the episode "Romancing the Phone", in Maddie's day dream a guy asks her if she's a real blonde and she replies "I dye my roots brown."
* [[The Eeyore]]: Haley.
Line 106:
{{quote|'''Arwin:''' So I was leaning over a toilet, plunging...in and out, in and out, in and out...}}
* [[Instant Birth, Just Add Water]]: A couple had this in the [[Christmas Episode]], a shout out to the birth of Jesus Christ.
* [[Inter Class Romance]]:
** In one episode Maddie falls for a rich guy and attempts to look and act rich so he will like her.
** In another episode, London falls for a delivery boy, and seeks Maddie's counsel on how to act poor.
Line 126:
'''Esteban:''' I love nature films.
'''Carey:''' Did you even see the one about what a mother bear will do to protect her cubs? }}
* [[Modesty Towel]]: Played straight when one of the title characters spent a good part of an episode wearing a towel that reached from his ankles to his ribs. Was it a towel or a carpet??
* [[Mother Penguin]]: Sister Dominick.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Dumb hotel heiress whose first name is a famous capitol of an European country. Hmm. Who could that possibly be a reference to? It's even [[Lampshaded]] at one point:
Line 178:
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: London, at the cost of [[Flanderization|losing most of her brains]].
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: London and Todd St. Mark, son of the proprietor of the rival St. Mark Hotel, in the episode "Cookin' with Romeo and Juliet".
* [[The State Room Sketch]]: Actual Closet variant, completes the homage by having their mother open the door so that everyone tumbles out.
* [[Stereotype Flip]]: Maddie and London are the inverse of the [[Dumb Blonde]], [[Asian and Nerdy|Smart Asian]] stereotype.
** Though in the [[Alternate Universe]] of Suite Smell of Success, the stereotypes are withheld.
Line 205:
== Tropes in ''The Suite Life on Deck'' ==
* [[Aborted Arc]]: An arc began at the end of the second season involving Dante, a pre-teen impostor who had assumed Marcus' old persona of Lil' Little, and continued when Dante stowed away aboard the ''Tipton'', at which point Marcus reluctantly took the youngster under his wing and arranged for him to have a job performing aboard the ship. Since Marcus left, it's unlikely we'll see Dante again. [[The Scrappy|Most fans don't mind]].
* [[
{{quote|'''Moseby:''' I've been punched and pummeled by a pack of peeved Parisians!}}
** Also:
Line 230:
* [[Boldly Coming]]: Just barely [[Averted]] between Moseby and a [[Green Space Babe|purple skinned]] version of Tutweiller.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Emma Tutweiller.
** Bailey also fills this role at times, especially when she's around London.
* [[Camp Gay]]:
** Implied with London's many-times great grandson Rome, after all he is played by George Takei.
** London's favorite fashion designer, Arturo Vitali, is possibly the most [[Camp Gay]] character to ever appear on the [[Disney Channel]]. [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|The lines about ladies in lingerie aren't fooling anyone]].
* [[Can You Hear Me Now?]]: The students, crew, and passengers about the ''S.S. Tipton'' all seem to have phones that get reception anywhere in the world (including remote locations in developing countries and at sea), are standard models that aren't at all bulky or complex (as one would expect from a satellite phone with such capabilities), and never incur any sort of roaming charges.
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: In the the first series, London was depicted as being incredibly [[Muscles Are Meaningless|strong for her size]], helping Maddie train for her physical fitness test. In ''On Deck'', Zack had to give similar help to London. Of course, [[Flanderization|London's competence does vary]].
** Also both Zack and Moseby were addicted to online gaming in "Tiptonline" but play an online game in "Love and War"
Line 478:
== Tropes in ''The Suite Life Movie'' ==
* {{spoiler|[[Always Second Best]]}}: {{spoiler|Dr. Olsen's motivation for creating the Gemini Project. Zack sympathizes.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Assimilation Plot]]}}: To a certain extent. In fact, Dr. Olsen wants to {{spoiler|merge twins together into a single entity once they have bonded well enough.}} He appearently wants to end suffering from differences in individuals the world over, but primarily he aims to {{spoiler|end his suffering from being the "inferior" twin to Dr. Spaulding}}.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Cody presses Zack's the movie when he says this:
Line 489:
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Hurting each other, hurts each other.
* [[Dramatic Unmask]]: Multiple times during a flashback montage.
** To clarify, Dr Olsen {{spoiler|disguised himself as a janitor to easily infiltrate Dr. Spaulding's facility and steal and research,}} and most importantly to conceal the fact that {{spoiler|he is Dr. Spaulding's twin brother.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hive Mind]]}}: {{spoiler|Dr Olsen merges together sets of twins into a single personality and eventually creates a hive mind.}}
* [[Hot Scientist]] / [[The Vamp]]: Kellie and her twin Nellie, who discreetly goad Zack to ride the submarine that helps cause destruction and get Cody kicked out of his first internship with Dr. Spaulding, and later, convince Zack to not leave the Gemini Project. {{spoiler|Of course they are doing it specifically under Dr. Olsen's orders.}}
