History YMMV / LizzieMcGuire

* BizarroEpisode: "[[FreakyFridayFlip Those Freaky McGuires]]". The end hints that it might be AllJustADream. Subverted with the HalloweenEpisode as [[spoiler: the supernatural stuff is just a prank]].
* ContractualPurity: Not necessarily a straight example, but [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalaine#Personal_life here's what's become of Lalaine (who played Miranda). Yes, ''methamphetamine'' charges]]. [[http://www.vanitytheft.com/ She got better, though]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Gordo tells Lizzie that Larry is "Marilyn Manson to your Britney Spears". "Britney Spears" was supposed to mean "wholesome" back then. Yeah...

** Ethan mentioned in one episode he'll take up Water polo. Years later in real life, Clayton Snyder (his actor) ends up being part of the US Water polo team.
** Anyone who has watched TheMovie and ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', TheReveal and methods of the BigBad as this.

* {{Narm}}: Lizzie's nightmare where she frets about the guys thinking she's not feminine enough. Has to be one of the laziest nightmare scenes ever made. Especially Kate's laughing.

* PeripheryDemographic: Not all of Lizzie's (or Hilary's) fans were/are girls.

* GeniusBonus: The names Isabella and Elizabeth (Lizzie's full first name) from the movie are in fact the same name, Isabella is the Romance variation and Elizabeth is the Germanic variation.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Lizzie has to give out balloon animals at the halloween dance in ''Night of the Day of the Dead'', but she doesn't know how to make any. So she gives out a bunch of narrow balloons saying, "Here, it's a snake" or "Here it's a worm". After giving her brother, Matt, a "caterpillar", he tells her, "This is a lame balloon animal" to which she replies, "Oh, sorry. Let me fix it." She then pops the balloon and says "Ooh, there. Now it's extinct."

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Gordo tells Lizzie that Larry is "Marilyn Manson to your Britney Spears". "Britney Spears" was supposed to mean "wholesome" back then. Yeah.

* UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}}: The theme of an episode in which Lizzie's English class study Robert Burns. However, as any Scottish fan will tell you, many of the examples of Scottish culture were completely wrong.

* BizarroEpisode: The FreakyFridayFlip episode.

* EpilepticTrees: There is a theory that is circulating around the Internet that Lizzie is a schizophrenic. It also partially explains why the show starts in middle school, and why Lizzie's friend Miranda disappeared from the show (even though the show states that she went to Mexico with her family). The theory can be [[http://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/21d83c/lizzie_micguire_show_and_movie_lizzie_is/read here]].

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Lizzie has to give out balloon animals at the halloween dance and she doesn't know how to make any. So she gives out a bunch of narrow balloons saying, "Here, it's a snake" or "Here it's a worm". A kid tells her, "You suck" and she pops the balloon she gave to him. "Here, now it's extinct."

* {{Narm}}: In the episode where Lizzie "goes bad", that is, crimps her hair and puts on a clip-on nose ring, her friends bring her back to normal by... playing sappy music while showing her a power point slideshow of their friendship.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: In a way. Many people nowadays think that this was a boring show, but it was really the first of Disney's preteen oriented shows with the "female main character, male possible love interest, female best friend" formula.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: This troper remembers an episode, though not perfectly, where Lizzie discovers a natural talent for gymnastics and is encouraged by her imposing female gym coach to pursue this. Miranda, oddly enough, scorns any desires or inclinations by her BFF Lizzie towards pursuing this field and by episodes end Lizzie has learned the errors of her ways and tells the gym coach that it just isn't for her. This verges on what the hell status when you consider in other episodes Miranda flips at our titular character for not giving her undying support in other situations that include, bad acting attempts in the drama club and backing her when Miranda is accused of shoplifting. "Remember kids, always pass up a chance to fulfill your potential in order to avoid feeling the scorn of your fellow students."

* {{Recycled Script}}: I read on the [[PopularIsDumb Popular is Dumb]] trope on the main page that [[TheLibby The Libby]] [[VillainOfTheWeek of the Week's]] group thought that The Libby had wet herself even though they saw it. [[WizardsofWaverlyPlace Hmmm, I wonder what other Disney show also did this?]]
