  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

*** More than that. They turned him from a dorky kid who attended math camp, took notes on virtually everything the teacher said, and apparently took a full Advanced Placement load in high school, into an impossible genius: Various ''On Deck'' episodes reveal that he has written three cookbooks, a novel and an opera, that he has a patent, that he spent years translating ancient hieroglyphs as a personal side project, was building model molecules out of juice boxes in nursery school, and, if I remember correctly, ''cut his own umbilical cord.''
 
** Maddie's rudeness to London (Perhaps the [[High School Musical|Sharpay]] sunk in?)
 
** Arwin's [[Basement Dweller|living-with-his-mom-ness]] ("Mother! Throw me the house keys!")
 
*** In one episode, this Flanderization comes to a peak when Zack and Cody get him to make the place his own after his mother moved out. Since then, this aspect of the character [[Character Development|was dropped]].

Cquote2

The Suite Life on Deck

  • Broken Base: Cailey. While the majority of fans agree they wanted together, when they were together fans cannot agree whether this was good for the show.
  • Canon Dis Continuity: Bailey mentioned have 6 big sisters and 3 little ones in "Parrot Island" although in "Twister" she is implied to be an only child as no sisters are present.
  • Creator's Pet: Cody in Season 2 into Season 3. He acts like a complete prick and still he's the center of most episodes.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: Cody again. Cailey fans tend to ignore the fact that he acts like a jackass or that he was obsessed with Bailey when he wasn't dating her.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: Most fans choose to ignore the movie and a lot of fans don't speak of (or haven't even seen) the I'm in The Band crossover.
  • Ho Yay:
    • Bob and Zack seemed to have a deeper relationship than just friends. Zack seemed very hurt that he had become mushy with Barbara. Of course, it was Played for Laughs.
    • The recent "Beauty and the Fleeced" episode combined this with a Stupid Sexy Flanders incident where at the beginning Woody (sans glasses) is apparently describing an attractive girl before Zack points out that Woody just mistook Cody for a girl.
      • This could also be seen as a shot at Cody's masculinity
    • "Ala-ka-Scram" definitely makes an argument for Zack and Woody, especially during their makeup scene.
    • Les Yay: Although only for one episode Bailey and Jessica have a ton of this with some fabricated Foe Yay (to fool Cody) included.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: An author once wrote two stories about romances between Bailey and Jessica Ellis (who at the time was just one of two twins), then "Model Behavior" happened and Jessica and Bailey shared several Les Yay ridden scenes.
    • In another fanfic called 'Zoey 1803', Zack is turned into a girl named Zoey. Zack would later get a love interest played by a girl named Zoey.
    • In "My Oh Maya", Maya lists various drinks the smoothie bar sells. One of them is the Cherry Chiller. It was easy to miss at the time but fastforward to 2012 when McDonald's released a smoothie with a similar name
  • Replacement Scrappy: Maya was briefly this during the beginning of Season 3, due to viewers thinking she replaced Bailey. Speaking of which, Bailey herself was essentially this for Maddie at first.
  • Portmanteau Couple Name: Woody bestowed "Cailey" upon Cody and Bailey.
  • Seasonal Rot: From mid-Season 2 into the first few episodes of Season 3, wherein most characters' Flanderization came to a peak, and watching the show became something akin to rubbernecking at the train wreck. Once Season 3 got off to a roll, the characters began to recover their charm and depth.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Despite the show being about twins, Cody was the focus of virtually every episode for the first two seasons, Zack only appeared to be a one-joke character. However, it would seem the tables have turned in Zack's favor as of Season 3.
  • Take That: London's "your mom needs a hobby" in regards to Bailey's large family (Despite being rewritten) could be one at Kate Gosselin and other reality shows with large families
  • Tear Jerker: In "London's Christmas Carol", the part with her in the future and her future self going "I'm alone" and on the verge of tears.

The Suite Life Movie

  • Fanon Discontinuity: It's much more enjoyable if you think of it as an adaptation of the series and don't try to fit it into the timeline.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Bailey comes off a lot less like "worried girlfriend" and more "bitchy whiner."
