History Series / TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody

** Cole Sprouse is really very good at girly screams for his rather chicken-hearted character, Cody.

''The Suite Life of Zack and Cody'' (2005-2008) is a DisneyChannel KidCom about a couple of twins named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Zack and Cody]] who live in The Tipton, a hotel in Boston. Their divorced mom is a singer at the hotel who has a secret admirer in a rather dorky janitor named Arwin. Also at the hotel are two teenage girls, London, the [[DoesThisLookFamiliarToYou moronic heiress to the hotel chain]], and Maddie, a candy-counter girl who struggles to make sure she completes school as well as juggling very degrading jobs. The hotel is run by Mr. Moseby, who rarely tolerates the twins' antics. It was chronologically the second series in the {{DCLAU}}.

'''Miss Klotz:''' Didn't bother me when my four ex-husbands said it; Doesn't bother me when you say it.\\

* DawsonCasting: Not so noticeable in the beginning when 17-year old Brenda Song was playing 15-year old London Tipton, but by the end of Suite Life On Deck in 2011, London was a high school senior and Brenda was 23. Ashley Tisdale played 15-year old Maddie in 2005 when she was 20 but it's unclear if Maddie aged as slowly as London or if it just took London a few tries to make it through high school. It was worse for minor character Mary Margaret, who was the same age as London and Maddie but played by Monique Coleman, who is five years older than Ashley.

* TheJimmyHartVersion of:
** The ''Franchise/StarTrek'' theme in "Starship Tipton".
** The JamesBond theme in "The Spy Who Shoved Me".
** Billie Jean in "So You Think You Can Date".

**** ASpaceOdyssey is directly referenced by Woody early in the episode.

** Ironically, this episode aired the day after Kurt Warner's (Who guest starred wearing said jersey) final game. Now we know why he retired.

* ChekhovsGun: Woody's turkey leg-turning device seems like the most frivolous thing he's ever come up with...[[spoiler:that is, until it provides the batteries necessary to power the radio to call for help from the submarine.]]

** When Charo guest-starred, Disney made sure she could show off her enormous...flamenco guitar skills.

** Also one of the twins says Max dances better than a girl in a MissyElliot video. That girl was Alyson Stoner

* DeadpanSnarker: This ''is'' a Disney Sitcom. ''Everyone'' fits this trope. Maddie and Carey being the most prolific snarkers.

* SecretSanta: Maddie organizes the Tipton staff Secret Santa and makes sure that London picks her name, hoping for an expensive gift.

* GroinAttack: Zack, while attempting to learn croquet in the episode "Rollin With The Holmies", accidentally hits himself in the groin when he swings his croquet mallet.

** In the Season 3 premiere "Silent Treatment", Zack mispronounces the name of the author of ''WarAndPeace'' as Leo "ToyStory".

->''Six thousand dollars an hour might not sound like much, but it adds up!''\\

Now has its own [[Radar/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Getting Crap Past The Radar]] page.

* DeadpanSnarker: This ''is'' a Disney Sitcom. ''Everyone'' fits this trope. Maddie and Carey being the most prolific snarkers. So London Can't really be counted too much for this trope.
** Zack has his moments, too, especially when directed towards Cody.

** ''[[ShoutOut Snakes On A]] [[SnakesOnAPlane Boat]]:'' Zak and Maya get into a fight about how many girls Zack has been with. Before Maya walks away, there is a scene of a snake going up Zack's pants. During the scene that Maya walks away from Zack, one can see him shaking his leg, oblivious that the snake climbed up his pants. Doubles as a [[GroinAttack]] when the snake bites him

* GroinAttack: Zack inflicted one upon himself with a croquet mallet.

* FollowTheLeader: The popularity of [[ICarly iCarly]] led to the development of London's webshow ''Yay Me!''

* LittleMissSnarker: Max

** Kirby, who keeps a stick of butter in his pocket because he doesn't like gum. Which is so much more hilarious when you realize he shares a name with [[{{Kirby}} another Big Eater from a well-known series]].

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Hmm, so Bailey gets possessed by something related to ancient artifacts whose dialog is [[LargeHam over-the-top]], supremely condescending, and delivered in a voice that's lower in pitch with reverb, casually threatens to kill or torture people, and dons flamboyant period dress. [[StargateSG1 Geez whiz, I can't imagine what]]!
** ''GhostBusters''?

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In an episode where the group visits the home of ArthurConanDoyle, Cody figures out a supposed British resident is actually Belgian, due to him saying 'fries' instead of 'chips', [[spoiler:and it is revealed he was the GentlemanThief who stole the original SherlockHolmes draft.]].

* RetCon: Over the entire series, it was clear that Mr. Tipton loved his daughter, London. It was mentioned a few times that she is the sole heir to the Tipton company. Along comes the first episode that Mr. Tipton finally shows himself in (Episode 68), and what happens? Before eh makes his appearance, he has to ask London who she is when she calls, ask which daughter she is, and barely remembered her. Nice continuity ya got there.

** A very subtle one in "Starship Tipton": Even though the episode is a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' parody, the transporter effect looks more like an [[StargateSG1 Asgard beam]].

** In the Season 3 premiere "Silent Treatment", Zack mispronounces the name of the author of ''WarAndPeace'' as Leo "[[ToyStory Toystory]]".

* StalkerWithACrush: Cody towards Bailey in Season 1. The whole six month plan is all kinds of creepy.

* ButtMonkey: Moseby.

** Zack is this to Maddie.

** {{Justified}} though, as they are out to sea.

* AWorldwidePunomenon: In the episode where Cody is trying to become international chess champion.
-->'''Zack:''' ''(talking on the radio) I can't read it, it's all in Russian.\\
'''Cody:''' ''(moves a piece)'' Check.\\
'''Zack:''' I ''did'' check. It's in Russian.
** Earlier in the same episode:
-->'''London:''' I can't read any of this!\\
'''Maya:''' You can't read it because whoever wrote it was Russian.\\
'''London:''' I don't care how fast they were writing!

* DifferentAsNightAndDay: Two different pairs. Lazy, sloppy Zack compared to his twin neat, hardworking Cody, and also poor, down-to-earth girl Maddie with her frenemy airhead rich girl London.

* NotSoDifferent: Although the Martin boys appear, at first glance, to be DifferentAsNightAndDay, they're much more alike than either would care to admit. Zack is, in many ways, as much of a nerd as Cody, enjoying comics books and online fantasy games. Cody, likewise, is as big of a perv as Zack, such as when he encouraged Barbara to pursue cheerleading based on the realization that she'd be showing a lot more skin than he was accustomed to seeing.
