*** Bridgit Mendler would also go on to do the voice of the main/title character in ''[[TheBorrowerArrietty The Secret World of Arrietty]]''. Potentially doubles as an ActorAllusion since her character ''also'' has a relationship with a character played by David Henrie.

* TheCastShowoff: Bridgit Mendler's singing.
** PJ is the guitarist for his band, and Jason Dolley plays the guitar in real-life as well as the piano. However, opinions vary on [[IronyAsSheIsCast PJ's playing ability but that is a different trope]].
** Spencer and Emmet both can dance and they have a dance-off in which they take turns serving each other.
*** Spencer also sings part of "One Step Closer" (a song on Shane Harper's self titled album) during a talent show.
** Teddy has a few chances to sing on the show, once for a talent show, a contest, and an audition for a school musical.
*** Her friend Skyler does a duet with Teddy for the talent show, but they combine with PJ and Emmet's band and mash-up both songs and subsequently win the talent show.
** Leigh-Allyn Baker appears for have professional dance training, and Amy Duncan tries to teach her family simple and complicated dance moves and routines in an episode when she wants them to do a song and dance number for her hospital's fundraiser. When they don't even try to duplicate what she just showed them, she asks, "what are you waiting for?" and Teddy says "10 years for dance lessons." Which may be a hint to Leigh-Allyn having dance training, or could just be a joke, or both. She even gets an applause track played after the more complicated part of her routine, probably pointing to the former.
** Then there's also Victor, who sings very well in an episode, as his actor, Kevin Covais was a finalist in ''Series/AmericanIdol''.

* ActorAllusion: Teddy and Skyler [[TheClique have been friends before]] (and are friends in real life).
** In "Return to Super Adventure Land", Amy was replaced for the role Gabe's Mom by [[WriteWhoYouKnow Gabe's (actual) mom]].
** A [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] in "The Bob Duncan Experience": During her video diary, Teddy starts to say "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." This would have been a sly reference to {{Bridgit Mendler}}'s role as Olivia in ''Film/LemonadeMouth'', the final scene of which has the saying flashing on video screens behind the band, except that Teddy substitutes "go to the prom with Emmett" for "make lemonade."
* DawsonCasting: Most of the actors are older than their characters. Bridgit Mendler is about three years older than Teddy, Jason Dolley is about two years older than PJ, When the show first started, Gabe was supposed to be 10, making Bradley Steven Perry two years older. Amy and Bob were supposed to be high school sweethearts. Leigh Allyn-Baker was 37 when the show first started and Eric Allan Kramer was about 10 years older. Gabe and Charlie are around the same age as their actors portraying them--give or take one year.
* DirectedByCastMember: Eric Allan Kramer ("Wentz's Weather Girls" and "Rat-A-Teddy") and Leigh-Allyn Baker ("Charlie Whisperer" and "Bob's Beau-Be-Gone").



* IAmNotSpock: Disney Channel in the UK has taken to advertising ''[[MadeForTVMovie Minutemen]]'' and ''[[HighSchoolMusical Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure]]'' as featuring "PJ[=/=]Gabe from ''GoodLuckCharlie''" as opposed to actually naming Jason Dolley & Bradley Steven Perry.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: PJ is dimwitted and a poor guitarist, but Jason Dolley had a 4.0 GPA in high school and is able to play guitar and piano.



* WriteWhoYouKnow: In the episode "Return to Super Adventure Land," Gabe says that the mom they got to replace Amy for the commercial looks more like his mom than Amy does. One sure hopes she would - that's Kimberly Perry, Bradley Steven Perry's real-life mom!
