History Trivia / ANTFarm

** The lead character is [[{{Jonas}} Big Rob's niece]] who almost spilled the Nick/Macy secret, and Tina the Angel from ''WizardsOfWaverlyPlace''.

** ChinaAnneMcClain (age 14), Creator/SierraMcCormick (age 15) play 11-year olds as does JakeShort who at 15 is old enough to be a high school freshman on the normal non-A.N.T. schedule, while Allie [=DeBerry=] (age 17) is only two years older than her character Paisley, who's 15 years old.

** Cameron's actor is 18 but looks much younger, so young, if his voice wasn't as deep as it is, (and it's not that deep) he could have probably been cast as and A.N.T. Chyna is roughly the same height as he is while being 4 years younger, and the actors have about a 5 year difference in real life. That could turn out to be very interesting and funny in later seasons since he is the only main cast member that is pretty much done growing.

* PlayingAgainstType: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Grunwald Ernie Grunwald]], who usually plays meek characters like [[TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Mr. Forgess]], plays Zanko, a jerky artist who steals credit for Fletcher's painting in 'FraudulANT'.

** ChinaAnneMcClain (age 14), SierraMcCormick (age 15) play 11-year olds as does JakeShort who at 15 is old enough to be a high school freshman on the normal non-A.N.T. schedule, while Allie [=DeBerry=] (age 17) is only two years older than her character Paisley, who's 15 years old.
** Sierra, who is 14, more than likely wouldn't be in High School yet since most kids who have a birthday after August have to wait until are 5 at enrollment to start school. However, she was on AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader nearly four years ago. Which would mean she either was in fourth grade, or she started school a year early is and indeed in high school now, theoretically speaking of course. Still a huge example of this trope.

** ''Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?'' in "America Needs TalANT" which featured Sierra [=McCormick=]

* WriteWhoYouKnow: In Fletcher's above-mentioned cartoon, the Characters include, Sketcher, Asia, and Pimento,(for Fletcher, Chyna, and Olive respectively) drawn as ants, and Gibson drawn as a bee, due to his yellow and blue stiped shirts. Fletcher even [[spoiler: made fun of Olive's fact spouting and later how [[LampshadeHanging Chyna is always finding reasons]] [[IdolSinger to sing]].]]

* DirectedByCastMember: StefanieScott is occasionally billed as an assistant director.

** As mentioned above, Olive used to [[AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader make people feel stupider than a fifth grader]].

* IronyAsSheIsCast: Allie [=DeBerry=] as the DumbBlonde Paisley is actually said to be very smart. Justified as actresses such as [[LegallyBlonde Reese Witherspoon]] and [[Film/MeanGirls Amanda Seyfried]], as well as many others have proved in the past that it takes a smart actress to pull off the dumb blonde, especially considering [[PlayingAgainstType roles that the aforementioned actress has done in which they weren't a dumb blonde]]. In addition to that, she previously sang in a choir. And while she isn't said to be a bad singer, she is the only member of the cast who hasn't sang at all aside from JakeShort (Olive singing the Slovakian national anthem barely counts as singing) on a show with a lot of singing on it.

** Zanko used to be[[TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Zack and Cody Martin's teacher in Middle School]], Mr. Forgess.
