== [[The Suite Life On Deck]] ==
* "The Play's The Thing". The students have to participate in Cody's play for their final drama assignment. Bailey accuses Cody of making a play that is nothing more than a "thinly veiled portrayal" of her breakup with him, which Cody denies, and she refuses to perform. And then he has to get {{spoiler|HIMSELF}} to play as Hailey, while Zack plays Brody. When it's play night, they don't get many people in the audience, and Bailey is as hostile as ever. And during the play, {{spoiler|"Hailey" gets killed off}} and Bailey's reaction is easily justifiable. After the play is over, Cody confesses to Zack that the play ''is'' based off of his break-up with Bailey. Then, when Cody goes to apologize to Bailey, she thinks they should never speak to each other again and shuts the door in his face. Sorry Cody, but this was a pretty bone-headed move on your part. {{spoiler|Then, in the later 3-part "Twister" special, they DO get back together. Long story. Go see the episode for yourself if you're curious.}} While it seems like Cody got what he deserved (Bailey wanting to never speak to him again), the [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)|Wall Banger]] in question is killing off "Bailey", which some did ''not'' like.
* In "Prom Night", Ms. Tutweiler claims that it was harsh of Moseby to cancel the prom because he "can't take a joke". Let's recap: Moseby {{spoiler|was horrified because he was ''floating in a stormy sky. On a chair. Lifted by balloons.''}} And then he is {{spoiler|forced to land by a helicopter into the ocean, and then rescued by a "loathsome baboon". And his clothes get ripped.}} Is that ''seriously'' supposed to be the meaning of "can't take a joke"? NO! While it was [[Played for Laughs]] (and admittedly the episode was pretty funny), that's a serious matter, not a joke that you can't expect them to take seriously. '''HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.''' This ''is'' subverted at the very end of the episode when Moseby admits he did overreact, but for the most part, it isn't the kind of thing for one to expect others to see merely as "a joke".
** Well, he said that before {{spoiler|HE DOES THE SAME FUCKING PRANK TO ZACK AS REVENGE!!!!}} So, he probably didn't even mean it, which makes it more of a [[Wall Banger]].
