History Series / ThatGirlLayLay

In March 2024, [[https://tvline.com/news/that-girl-lay-lay-cancelled-season-3-nickelodeon-1235190221/ Gabrielle Nevaeh Green announced the series was cancelled]], ending ''That Girl Lay Lay'' at 2 seasons of 45 episodes.

** Overlaps with CoolKidAndLoserFriendship, since Sadie can be sort of a cross between a CuteBookworm and a CoolLoser, and Lay Lay can be seen as a lovable cool kid that everyone respects like a ClassPrincess.

'''That Girl Lay Lay''' is a series for Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, which premiered on September 23, 2021.

Sadie Alexander (''Gabrielle Nevaeh Green'') is an ordinary freshman who gets nervous in front of others, which is why she relies on her positive affirmation app with an artificially intelligent avatar called Lay Lay (''Alaya High'' aka ''"That Girl Lay Lay"'') for helpful advice. When Sadie wishes on a shooting star that Lay Lay was real, her wish comes true and causes Lay Lay to become human, and the two become an inseparable duo on a series of adventures as Sadie learns to stay true to herself, while trying to keep Lay Lay's identity hidden.

The series is the second spinoff from the 2019 ''[[Series/AllThat "All That"]]'' revival to feature a cast member and 8th spinoff overall.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Although it doesn't happen often, sometimes, all the characters, including both the male and female characters, can be subjected to a little bit of slapstick comedy and antics sometimes. Especially with Lay Lay and the Alexander Family.

* SeamlessSpontaneousLie: An overarching part of the show is Sadie pretending Lay Lay is an exchange student from Houston, to hide her identity as an avatar.

* FamilyOfChoice / ParentalSubstitute: Given that Lay Lay has no real human parents since she is an artificially intelligent avatar, Lay Lay and Marky's parents, Trish and Bryce, often serve the role of being like the parents on the show that she never had, and Sadie and Marky often serve as being like the brother and sister she never had. This especially becomes more pronounced in the second season of the show, when Trish has an emotional moment with her and hugs her telling her she loves her almost like a second daughter, and Lay Lay thanks her and the Alexander Family for being like an honorary family and adoptive parents for her.

* {{Crossover}}: A five way crossover with ''Series/DangerForce'', ''Series/SideHustle'', ''Series/{{Warped}}'', and ''[[YoungDylan Tyler Perry's Young Dylan]].''

* '''Creator/AndreaBarber''' as Principal Willingham

* ChurchLady: The ''Positive'' Type but with a side of SassyBlackWoman: Sister Velma, the elderly woman and choir member from the church the Alexander Family and Lay Lay attends in the episode, "Ha-Lay-Lay-Lujah," can he considered a positive example of this trope, although she can also be quite snarky and sassy sometimes.

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: When Lay Lay sets up a classic "Bucket Over a Door Frame" prank for Sadie, Marky asks her what's inside the bucket by saying, "If it's not confetti in it, what's in it? Glitter? Ping-pong balls? Scorpions?" He says "scorpions" specifically because he lost some actual live scorpions inside the house.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Lay Lay sets up a classic "Bucket Over a Door Frame" prank for Sadie, Marky asks her what's inside the bucket by saying, "If it's not confetti in it, what's in it? Glitter? Ping-pong balls? Scorpions?" He says "scorpions" specifically because he lost some actual live scorpions inside the house.

* [[StockSuperpowersIndex Superpowers]]: Lay Lay is 'NOT' a literal superhero, 'but' because she is an artificially intelligent avatar, she has a few cybernetic sci-fi superpowers that can bend the laws of physics to her will, and she calls them "Avatar Powers". Only a select few characters know about her Avatar Powers as of Season 2, including Sadie and Marky. Some examples of them that she occasionally uses throughout the show, include:

* ConsistentClothingStyle: Unlike Lay Lay who seems to have an UnlimitedWardrobe on the show, Sadie can often be seen wearing mostly the same type of modest but trendy, and geeky graphic tee shirt outfits, or girly sweater and button down shirt outfits throughout most of the show all the time.

* JiveTurkey / [[SoulBrotha Soul Sista]]: Being a rapper, Lay Lay is very much in touch with modern trends and frequently uses Generation Z internet slang in her vocabulary, such as "Yas", "Drip", and "Lit".

* InvisibleParents: [[PlayingWith Justified]] with Lay Lay since Lay Lay is an artificially intelligent avatar who was wished to life as a human, but she has no real human parents. And how does she and Sadie explain this absence of parents to the Alexander family: that she's an exchange student from Houston who doesn't have any local relatives to stay with, so she has to live with the Alexander Family, thus enforcing the plot to keep Lay Lay around.
