The Class Menagerie: Difference between revisions

 

----

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Mikey.

** One might also argue Brad, who is one of the few characters in the series to never show romantic interest in anyone.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Lisa.

* [[California University]]: Fictional DeMontfort University.

* [[Coming Out Story]]: Mikey in "Duet to Me".

* [[Dramedy]].

* [[English Rose]]: Cindy.

** DeMontfort University is based on UC Berkeley, Suzukawa's alma mater.

* [[Farce]]: "My Funny Valentine." Otherwise avoided.

* [[Jerkass]]: Brad, Kevin, Biff and Dani all get portrayed as this, though Brad and Kevin had their nice moments, but Biff's father is arguably the biggest jerkass of the entire cast.

* [[Jerk Jock]]: Biff.

** If you count guest appearances in [[The Suburban Jungle|other comics]] the closest Mikey has had to a relationship was with a member of his [http://suburbanjungleclassic.com/?p=1285 own species] (for once).

*** On the other side, [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/930010/ one piece of] [[Fanfic]] (SFW) that [[Word of God]] has described as definitely non-canon (but still liked enough to actually [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/995507/ illustrate it]) has Mikey hook up with an otter.

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Algernon.

* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Brad and Scott are mistaken for gay by Scott's parents.

* [[MST]]: Done in-universe by Kevin to Mikey's puppet show. He even replaces one of the puppets with [[Lampshade Hanging|Tom Servo]].

* [[Must Have Caffeine]]: Brad won't stay awake for long without a large dose of coffee or cola. He will literally fall asleep on the spot once the clock reaches zero.

* [[Schedule Fanatic]]: Mikey.

* [[Ship Tease]]: Brad and Scott [[Mistaken for Gay]] with much hilarity. Also, Dani and Kevin in one VERY early strip, though this didn't lead anywhere.

* [[Spicy Latina]]: Danielle Rosalina "Dani" Murrieta is an example of the confrontational, [[Tomboy|tomboyish]] type.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Earlier public drafts of ''TCM'' had some of the male characters regularly wearing considerably less, especially Brad in his shorts and tank top that left little to the imagination. But the final version of ''TCM'' has him wearing a full flannel shirt. This probably actually ''adds'' to his [[Fetish Fuel]] effect as the shirt leaves much more to the big tough guy image.

** Hilariously subverted, and pointed out by the creator of ''[[Funny Farm]]'' in a guest strip, some characters actually worked in the reverse, with Scott's everyday clothing going from a button up shirt, to a black t shirt, to a tank top, as well as Biff seizing to wear any shirts at all.

* [[Team Mom]]: As the dorm's RA, Dani sees herself as this.

* [[Walking Techbane]]: Brad. Every machine he touches that isn't related to making coffee will die in a spectacular manner. He doesn't even have to touch them. On one memorable occasion a microwave spontaneously exploded when he just mentioned it.

** The microwave was [[Driven to Suicide|trying to protect itself.]]
