History Series / HannahMontana

* MeetCute: In "The Way We Almost Weren't", Miley and Jackson [[AllJustADream time-travel]] back to the diner where Robbie met their mother for the first time. When they accidentally interfere with the initial encounter, Jackson starts [[ShoutOut fading out of existence]]. They spend the rest of the episode trying to invoke this trope for their parents, [[Film/BackToTheFuture to ensure that they are actually born]].

* AllgedlyDateless: Jackson is portrayed as an uncouth, socially-awkward loser who couldn't get a date if his life depended on it. This in spite of the fact that he's played by the boyishly-handsome Jason Earles, takes a different girl out every third episode, and has even had a few random girls come on to him, usually when he's ''not trying'' to be charming.

* ExtravertedNerd: Rico, who is loud and obnoxious about his stellar financial skills.

* HollywoodDateless: Jackson is portrayed as an uncouth, socially-awkward loser who couldn't get a date if his life depended on it. This in spite of the fact that he's played by the boyishly-handsome Jason Earles, takes a different girl out every third episode, and has even had a few random girls come on to him, usually when he's ''not trying'' to be charming.

%% * ChildhoodFriendRomance: Lilly and Oliver, who have been friends since the fourth gade and start dating in the middle of Season 3.

%% * GoofyPrintUnderwear: A plumber.

%% ** [[SassyBlackWoman Roxy]] in particular can be one at times with her obnoxiously snarking and yelling in her efforts to protect Miley.

** In a nod to ''Franchise/StarWars'', when Jake and Miley are secretly dating they use the code-names 'Anakin' and 'Queen Amidala'.

* SelectiveEnforcement: Miley is EasilyForgiven after just a conversation, whereas Jackson CantGetAwayWithNuthin, even if what he does isn't half as bad as what Miley does.

* SweetAndSourGrapes: Zigzagged in "Bye Bye Ball". Miley wanted little else than to get back at Jackson for accidentally destroying her teddy bear by destroying his prized baseball signed by his hero. But when she attempts to "accidentally" destroy it like she intended, she finds she doesn't have it in her heart to retaliate him like this and forgoes her revenge. Unfortunately, her revenge just so happens to fall in her lap anyway when she accidentally throws the ball into the food processor. At first, she doesn't take it well until she realizes shehas exactly what she wanted: to get back at Jackson , and the alibi that it was "[[InnocentlyInsensitive Just an]] [[IronicEcho accident]]". ...But then it's deconstructed when it turns out Jackson fixed Miley's bear, so he may be off the hook, but Miley is now on the hook.

%% * VacationEpisode

* BrotherChuck: A number of characters were quite unceremoniously PutOnABus, including:
** Two of Jackson's best friends -- Cooper, not seen since Season 1, and Thor, not seen since Season 2.
** Roxy, not seen since early Season 2.
** Mikayla, also not seen since early Season 2. Although there's [[Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace probably a good reason for that]].
** Dandruff Danny, not seen since Season 1.
** The Movie gives Hannah Montana a publicist played by Vanessa Williams who is never seen after the movie, and also a love interest played by Creator/LucasTill who is never mentioned again (even when listing old boyfriends).

* SweetAndSourGrapes: Zigzagged in "Bye Bye Ball". Miley wanted little else than to get back at Jackson for accidentally destroying her teddy bear by destroying his prized baseball signed by his hero. But when she attempts to "accidentally" destroy it like she intended, she finds she doesn't have it in her heart to retaliate him like this and forgoes her revenge.

At first, she doesn't take it well until she realizes shehas exactly what she wanted: to get back at Jackson , and the alibi that it was "[[InnocentlyInsensitiv Just an]] [[IronicEcho accident]]". ...But then it's deconstructed when it turns out Jackson fixed Miley's bear, so he may be off the hook, but Miley is now on the hook.

* SheIsAllGrownUp: Lilly. In the TomboyAndGirlyGirl pairing of her and Miley, she started out as the former, with actress Emily Osment drawing unflattering comments about being her brother [[Creator/HaleyJoelOsment]] with a wig. Jump to Season 4--Lilly dresses straight from the [[UnlimitedWardrobe Hannah Closet]] and [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Oliver]] is just smitten.

* Also to ''Series/PhilOfTheFuture'', in the sense that it's been said that the money Disney gained from the success of ''Phil'' was used to create ''Hannah''.

* NoIndoorVoice: Most of the characters can be pretty shouty at times, especially Lilly. This gets spoofed, [[ParodyAssistance with Miley Cyrus herself]] in an ''SNL'' skit for a [[https://youtu.be/MeSd7Q7oThc Disney Channel Acting School]], where one of the "tips" is how to shout your dialogue.

* NoIndoorVoice: Most of the characters can be pretty shouty at times, especially Lilly.

* FakedFoodContaminant: In "You Give Lunch A Bad Name", Mamaw becomes [[EmbarassingRelativeTeacher the new school lunch lady]] and humiliates Miley and Jackson. In an effort to get her to leave, they disguise Jackson as a health inspector and plant hair into her food to make it look like she's contaminated it. However, his disguise falls off, and Mamaw is hurt to learn her grandkids did that to her.

* Miley getting Jackson a new signed baseball involved her as Hannah (who usually has sold out concerts in amazing venues) singing at an ordinary restaurant for an annoying owner. Which included having to a sing a song off key on purpose that owner could perform with her and during the performance does an unrehearsed stunt with Hannah that almost injured Miley.

->''You get the best of both worlds!\\

Then you rock out the show!

Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both worlds!''
-->- "'''The Best of Both Worlds'''", sung by Hannah Montana

->'''Travis:''' So you and Miley are pretty close?\\
'''Hannah:''' [[ActuallyIAmHim You have]] [[SecretIdentity no idea.]]

* DugInDeeper: Lilly is HollywoodToneDeaf and Miley CannotSpitItOut.

* TheMeanBrit: The second of the two Simon Cowell parody characters was played by [[Series/TheNanny Charles Shaughnessy]], an actual Brit.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In the episode "Ready, Set, Don't Drive", Miley gets arrested for driving with an invalid license. She got her license as Hannah Montana because she didn't want to wait two weeks for a retest. Why, you ask? She couldn't handle the embarrassment of showing up to [[AlphaBitch Amber]]'s big party when Amber had her license and she didn't. Does Robbie Ray ground her? Passe! Take away her allowance? Old hat! Instead, he drives her to the big party, and announces over a bullhorn that Miley didn't get her license.

** Robbie Ray will forgive ''anything'' that Miley messes up, as long as he's convinced she's genuinely contrite.

* LargeHam: ''Everyone'', but especially Lilly.

** Miley is doing a radio interview from her kitchen while eating spaghetti and claims to be speaking from a café in Italy. When she is asked where she is, her father passes her the pasta box. She reads the first words she sees and claims to be in the small village of "Sodium Free". She immediately amends this to "Sodium Freme" (said in an Italian accent).
** Oliver lies to a girl he dates (because he actually wants to stop seeing her) by saying that he's on a tour with a band called "Restroom This Way". The name comes from the restroom direction sign near him.

** The episode featuring "[[EvilTwin evil cousin]]" Luann takes it UpToEleven, particularly as [[ActingForTwo Miley Cyrus is playing her using an exaggerated Southern drawl]]. They talk about things like eating road-kill, and Luann dresses like a cowgirl until the end.

Also ''Series/PhilOfTtheFuture'', in the sense that it's been said that the money Disney gained from the success of ''Phil'' was used to create ''Hannah''.

* {{Meganekko}}:
** The episode "You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Zit Is About You" reveals that Lilly wears contacts, and when her dog eats them, she had to wear glasses. Even though she hates them, they place her nicely into this trope.
** Also, Miley dons a pair of glasses while she's Lilly's "lawyer" in the episode "You Are So Sue-able To Me".

-->'''Jackson:''' Jackson Stewart, come on down! You are the proud owner of a brand new... '''''used car!''''' Yes, over the last fifteen years this pre-owned beauty has been driven around by heavy smokers and sloppy eaters, and one Wilma [=McDermott=] whose cat popped out six kittens in the front seat! Yes, some stains just don't come out!

** Karen Kunkle, Jackson's -- and later, Miley's -- SternTeacher.
** [[CausticCritic Music critic]] Barney Bittman -- again, extra credit for Gilbert Gottfried.

* AlphaBitch: Mikayla, who acts bitchy and antagonistic to Hannah every chance she gets.

* CampingEpisode: "Ooh, Ooh, Itchy Woman" in season 1. Miley, Lilly and Oliver go on a school camping trip. Miley and Lilly have to share a tent with [[AlphaBitch Amber and Ashley]], while Oliver has to share a tent with mean boys.

* ChristmasEpisode: "Killing Me Softly with His Height" (season 3) and "It's The End Of The Jake As We Know It" (season 4) have Christmas-related settings and subplots.

** In a later episode, Miley gets her own bank account (with $5,000 in it) and - [[ContinuityNod remembering what happened with the credit card]] - becomes obsessed with defying this trope by refusing to spend a single penny.

* DerailingLoveInterests: [[spoiler:"The End of the Jake as We Know It". Some might be inclined to think that the title was taken too literally, with Jake's cheating coming out of left field given his prior development. It's JustForFun/{{egregious}} when the episode right after reintroduces the other love interest Miley rejected for Jake]].

* DisneyOwnsThisTrope: Rico owns his evil laugh. And the North American rights to the "Hey-yo!" Furthermore, his company is called "Muah-hah-hah Industries."

** {{Lampshaded}} in "De-Do-Do-Do, De-Don't-Don't-Don't-Don't Tell My Secret":
-->'''Hannah:''' ...but then I learn a valuable lesson and everything's okay!

-->'''Jackson:''' Face it, you don't have my talent for anything ''but'' the truth. Every time you try, you wind up getting caught, sitting on a bench, or the couch, or the porch where Dad says, "Bud, if you'd just woulda told the truth in the beginning yadda yadda yadda I love you."... "I love you too."... you ride Blue Jeans, he writes a song, ''The End''.

* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Many of Hannah's outfits from the earlier seasons were created by [[GemEncrusted sticking thousands of rhinestones]] on perfectly ordinary clothes. Once the show's popularity took off, so did the budget, so her later costumes are mostly hand-made and fall into full PimpedOutDress territory -- but still play this trope straight.

-->'''Miley:''' [[SarcasmMode I never wear sparkles!]]

-->"Who would have thought that a girl like me -- would double as a superstar?"

** Oliver performs and Hannah is a guest judge on ''America's Top Talent''. [[note]]Despite [[Series/AmericasGotTalent the name]], it's more a parody of ''Series/AmericanIdol'', complete with thinly-disguised imitations of that show's judges and a [[SpecialGuest cameo appearance]] by actual ''Idol'' judge Kara [=DioGuardi=].[[/note]]

* HonestJohnsDealership: Rico charges exorbitant prices for mediocre food at his surf shop, has some questionably-legal business practices (eg: charging for restrooms, in the home state of the Congresswoman who had that practice abolished, no less), and has had more than one run-in with the Health Department.

--->'''Miley:''' Please don't let it be yet another song about my double life or you might as well just stamp "I'm Hannah Montana" on my forehead."

* InterclassFriendship: Lilly and Oliver; both come from middle-class backgrounds and are best friends with rich, insanely successful pop star Miley Stewart / Hannah Montana. Miley has helped Lilly financially several times, such as paying for their school field trip to DC and hiring her as Miley's housekeeper.

-->'''Miley:''' You know Lilly, you should really write a book.\\

* ItsAllAboutMe: {{Inverted}} in the episode where Miley meets the Queen of England, with Jackson expressing the complaint that everything was always about Hannah Montana.

* KidsPlayMatchBreaker: In the episode “She’s a Super Sneak”, Miley and Jackson sneak out to a movie, only to see Robby Ray on a date with a new woman, a real estate agent. Miley is opposed to the idea of her father “replacing” her [[MissingMom deceased mom]], so she convinces Jackson to go to her office in disguises to try and dig up some dirt on the new woman.

-->'''Lily''': I can't believe it!\\
'''Miley''': I know, Amber sounds horrible!\\
'''Lily''': No, I can't believe you had a pet pig named Lou-Anne.\\
'''Miley''': We thought he was a Lou until the piglets came.

'''Lilly:''' (looks around, confused) ...I don't see it, where...? \\
'''Miley:''' Here. (holds Lilly's chin and turns her head to the correct angle)\\

** Further {{lampshaded}} by Miley in "Been Here All Along", when she tells Lilly to "Hold on, I'm in a flashback moment." -- right before said flashback [[FlashbackEffects takes over the screen]].

** How the cast's {{Secret Identit|y}}ies are kept secret. {{Lampshaded}} when Jackson points out the obviousness of Superman's PaperThinDisguise, and Miley agrees with him as she and Robbie Ray don theirs, which consist primarily of a wig and new clothes.

* PopularIsEvil: Amber and Ashley think they’re better than everyone else. They even set up a system to declare Miley and Lily the least cool people in school, sinking them to the bottom of the PopularityFoodChain.
** Not only that, in the alternate reality of “When You Wish You Were The Star” in which Miley was born Hannah and never met her friends, Lily formed a three-GirlPosse with Amber and Ashley, and was just as stuck-up and nasty as them.
* PornStache: Most of Robbie Ray's PaperThinDisguise consists of this. {{Lampshaded}} by Robbie repeatedly.

-->'''Miley''': Why aren't you jumping?
-->'''Lilly''': Why aren't you yay-ing?
-->'''Miley''': Why aren't you jumping and yay-ing?

** In Season 4, Lilly gets a new job running the ticket exchange booth at the amusement park. One of the top prizes is a big stuffed toy tiger that costs 50,000 tickets - a ludicrous amount that would fill a large container. Guess what ''every kid'' tries to exchange his or her measly handful of tickets for. Lilly easily handles the initial incident in the first episode, cheerily explaining the three cheapest prizes that all those tickets are good for. Fast-forward several episodes and many more kids later, and she's just about ready to crack.
-->'''Lilly:''' (close to tears) Look, you don't have enough for the big tiger, ''okay?'' It's the dragon stickers, the erasers, or the ice cube with the fly in it!

* SheIsAllGrownUp: Lilly. In the TomboyAndGirlyGirl pairing of her and Miley, she started out as the former, with actress Emily Osment drawing unflattering comments about being her brother [[Creator/HaleyJoelOsment]] with a wig. Jump to Season 4 -- Lilly dresses straight from the [[UnlimitedWardrobe Hannah Closet]] and [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Oliver]] is just smitten.

-->'''Miley''' (looking at a tabloid pic of Hannah): I look ''good'' in a moustache. Oh yeah. I'd definitely date me.\\

(beat)\\
'''Miley and Lilly''' (in unison): Awkward!

-->'''Lilly:''' Oh hey, I thought you'd be uh, spying on your dad and his date.\\

* ThisIsThePartWhere: The lyrics of the song "If We Were a Movie" -- meant to be sung by a girl to a boy [[ObliviousToLove who doesn't realize her feelings]] -- practically consists of [[GenreSavvy trope names strung together]]. Miley sings the chorus when she's sitting by herself on the balcony and pining for Jake:

* TotallyRadical: In-universe example, {{lampshaded}} by Miley:

* {{Tsundere}}: Miley towards Jake Ryan. When they first meet, she treats him with disdain, calling his antics "disgusting" and turning him down three times when he asks her to a dance. It isn't until Hannah guest stars on Jake's TV show and they almost kiss during a scene that she realizes - or admits to herself - that she actually likes him. [[note]]Eventually, Jake and Miley enter an on-again, off-again relationship. From then on, every time they are ''not'' a couple, Miley is generally nice to him, but her [[BelligerentSexualTension angry reactions to any perceived slight]] are well out of proportion to the JustFriends status they are supposedly at.[[/note]] Lilly, with her usual savvy, is actually aware of Miley's true feelings from the start:

--> ''Mikayla:'' Has been!
--> ''Hannah:'' Never was!
--> ''Mikayla:'' Bottle blonde!
--> ''Hannah:'' Lip syncher!
--> ''Mikayla:'' Bra stuffer!
--> *Hannah gasps, both slam their phones down*
--> ''Hannah:'' I hate you.
--> ''Mikayla:'' Like I care.

** In "I'll Always Remember You", [[spoiler: Miley reveals her secret to the world and gives up her pop star life for good]].
* WhamLine: An InUniverse example from "I'll Always Remember You" [[spoiler: "Her name was Miley Stewart" *removes wig*]]

-->'''Jesse:''' You are ''way'' too smart to come up with something this stupid.\\
