Billy Elliot Plot was renamed Gender Normative Parent Plot in TRS and expanded to be gender-neutral. Appropriate example indentation here.
* GenderNormativeParentPlot: Parodied. Octavio, a Mexican student, tells Marschz that his parents won't let him do the play. Dana heads down to "the barrio" so he can talk Octavio's parents out of their "ethnic narrow-mindedness". The camera pans out to show Octavio's small but comfortable home; Octavio himself is a very bright guy who was placed into the class due to his willingness to try new things. His parents' disapproval of the play doesn't come from a sexist hatred for the arts (the opposite actually, his father writes fantasy/fiction novels and his mother is a painter), but for the play's content.

The 2008 comedy film ''Hamlet 2'' stars Steve Coogan as high school drama teacher Dana Marschz, a recovering alcoholic and failed actor who has earned a reputation for his poor adaptations of famous films (rather than his ability to teach anyone anything). At the start of the most recent semester, Dana learns two sobering facts: the school has cut its budget to the point where his drama program remains the only arts class left in the curriculum, and his class will end up cut at the end of the semester.
