History Creator / DanSchneider

On March 26, 2018, Nickelodeon and Schneider mutually decided to end their 24-year relationship.

On March 26, 2018, after 24 years with the network, Nickelodeon announced [[http://deadline.com/2018/03/nickelodeon-tv-series-producer-dan-schneider-part-ways-1202353698/ it would not be extending its deal]] with Schneider's Bakery, also ending the production of ''Game Shakers'', thus terminating Schneider's association with the company.

His production company is called Schneider's Bakery and he loves to put various {{Easter Egg}}s among his various shows, such as a Schneider's Bakery can be seen in the stock location footage of the movie theatre in ''Series/DrakeAndJosh.'' His shows tend to use a similar way of talking, a variation on BuffySpeak by finding obscure, unusual or sometimes made-up words to use.

He can be considered to be Nick's sitcom equivalent to comic playwright Creator/NeilSimon, of ''Theatre/TheOddCouple'' (which Schneider's show ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' bears similarities to) fame.

On March 26, 2018, after 24 years with the network, and under [[https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/30/arts/dan-schneider-nickelodeon.html suspicion of misconduct with an internal review finding allegations of verbal abuse]], Nickelodeon announced [[http://deadline.com/2018/03/nickelodeon-tv-series-producer-dan-schneider-part-ways-1202353698/ it would not be extending its deal]] with Schneider's Bakery, also ending the production of ''Game Shakers''.

* ''Series/TheAmandaShow'': He also had a [[CreatorCameo minor role]] as a frequent prank phone call victim of Amanda Bynes.

See also the Series/NickVerse, a SharedUniverse between various Nickelodeon live-action [=KidCom=] series -- it's also known as the "Schneiderverse" as so far ''all'' of the shows in it are his (though that could change in the future).

* AdultsAreUseless: Adults in his shows are typically incredibly naive, pushovers, overly underhanded, or just utter morons.
* AuthorAppeal: Feet, putting the likes of Creator/QuentinTarantino and Creator/JossWhedon to shame when it comes to shoe-horning feet-related humour into his shows.

* ButtMonkey: Quite a few appear in his works (even including in the main cast).
* ColdOpening: On almost every show he produces (''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'' and ''Series/KenanAndKel'' are the exceptions)
* ComedicSociopathy: By and towards his main characters. The main offenders are Megan from ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' and Sam Puckett from ''Series/ICarly''. Said recipients are Series/DrakeAndJosh and Freddie Benson respectively.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: Very common in the Schneider-verse world, especially in his sitcoms. Guest characters who interact with the main protagonists have high chances of being full of UnfortunateImplications.

* DisproportionateRetribution: One of the chief sources of humor in several of his shows.

* HappyEnding: He averts this in most episodes of his shows, to add to the comedic effect. Sometimes results in NoEnding.
* HistoryRepeats: "iParty with Victorious", the ''Victorious'' episode starring Jennette, and ''Sam & Cat'' all aired on the second Saturday of the month of June.
* {{Jerkass}}: Wouldn't be a Dan Schneider show without a couple.
* KarmaHoudini: There usually are a few {{jerkass}} characters in his works that receive absolutely no sort of comeuppance or consequences for their behaviors and actions; the most JustForFun/{{egregious}} example is Megan, the villain of ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' who was a borderline sociopath not to mention [[CreatorsPet very well liked by the writers and despised by the fanbase.]]

* LaughTrack: AvertedTrope for ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'', due to it being a single camera work shot on location. Played very straight with every other show he's made.
* LargeHam: You're gonna see a lot of characters like this in his works. Josh, Chase, Michael, Freddie, Spencer, Robbie, Trina... the list goes on and on.

* NoEnding: Schneider likes to use this trope often in his more [[Series/ICarly recent]] [[Series/{{Victorious}} works]].

* PoliceAreUseless: Police officers are often portrayed as either apathetic, idiots, or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs apathetic idiots]].
* RecursiveCanon: Events in ''Series/{{Victorious}}'', ''Series/ICarly'', ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'' indicate that ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' is a fictional TV show in the shared universe of the other 2 shows, despite certain characters from that show like Helen, Gavin, Eric and Craig appearing in person for some of those shows.
** Or that the ''Drew and Jerry'' ShowWithinAShow from ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' is a fictional TV show in the shared universe of the other 3 shows.
* RuleOfFunny: There's no sense of logic in any of his shows.

* ShaggyDogStory: Loves having episodes without endings, or endings where nothing actually matters. Recent example is the iBust A Thief episode of ''Series/ICarly'' which had the gang try to get back Sam's stolen laptop. In the end Sam had left it in a pizza box in the fridge and discovers it at the end and doesn't tell anyone.

* SpinOff: Despite having shows on the air for nearly 20 years, ''Series/SamAndCat'' and ''Gibby'' are Schneider's first true spinoffs. Most everything else is just a SharedUniverse.

* TheVerse: See the Series/NickVerse.
* TotallyRadical: All over the place. Even the GoshDangItToHeck euphemisms have shades of it.

** ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' send-up for Victorious.

The king of [[KidCom kids' comedy]] in the TurnOfTheMillennium.

Dan Schneider (born January 14, 1966) is an American actor, writer and producer born in Memphis, Tennessee. He's probably best known to adults as Dennis Blunden on the old ABC sitcom ''Series/HeadOfTheClass''. But to millions of children (and kids-at-heart), he is the creator, writer and producer of several of the most well-known and loved {{Kid Com}}s. His work portfolio is primarily composed of {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}'s premier shows (and vice-versa: his shows make up a very large chunk of Nickelodeon's live-action programming).

He can be considered to be Nick's sitcom equivalent to comic playwright Neil Simon of ''Theatre/TheOddCouple'' (which Schneider's show ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' bears similarities to) fame.

This is due to quite [[https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/30/arts/dan-schneider-nickelodeon.html certain rumours of him molesting Nickelodeon actresses and asking underagedgirls to post picture of their feet for him to look at.]]

* GoshDangItToHeck: There's a lot of strange euphemisms for swears in his works, the most used ones are "skunkbag," "chiz," "jank," and "suckish."

* LargeHam: You're gonna see a lot of characters like this in his works. Josh, Chase, Michael, Freddie, Robbie, Trina... the list goes on and on.

** ''Series/AllThat'' spawned ''Series/KenanAndKel'', ''Series/TheAmandaShow'' and ''Series/{{Zoey101}}''. ''The Amanda Show'' was treated as an actual show being put on for the audience, much like ''All That'', and both referred to each other.

** ''Series/{{Zoey101}}'' spawned ''Series/{{Victorious}}''

* CrazyHomelessPeople: Most frequently mentioned and seen in the early seasons of ''iCarly''.
** However after MoralGuardians complained, Nick told him he's not allowed to make fun of hobos anymore, but that doesn't stop him from making hobo jokes by GettingCrapPastTheRadar in ''Sam & Cat''.

* The ''Series/SamAndCat'' crossover SpinOff from the above two (a rare ShortRunner for Schneider, though mostly due to TroubledProduction rather than any lack of success.)

* KidsAreCruel: Child characters tend to be [[BrattyHalfPint Bratty Half-Pints]] at best to [[EnfantTerrible Enfant Terribles]] at worst. Megan from ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' is the epitome of this trope.

* JerkAss: Wouldn't be a Dan Schneider show without a couple.

* AuthorAppeal: Feet, putting the likes of Creator/QuentinTarantino and Creator/JossWhedon to shame when it comes to shoe-horning feet-related humour into his shows.
