Line #19 Fridge/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody


1	[[AC:FridgeBrilliance]]
2	* I wondered how some of the staff were so agile in "Commercial Breaks" (doing somersaults etc). Then it hit me... they were used to carrying heavy bags and such - of course they were athletic!
3	* In "Poor Little Rich Girl", towards the ending, London recites wedding vows as an analogy of Maddie's loyal friendship. It may be PlayedForLaughs, but it becomes FridgeBrilliance (and HarsherInHindsight) when you learn that she's gone through a lot of step-mothers. After attending all their weddings, she's probably [[HiddenDepths memorized the wedding vows]] by now.
4	* At first, one wonders why London's private submarine would have torpedo tubes. When one considers that the controls are all in Russian, and the former Soviet republics are notorious for selling off surplus military hardware, one realizes it's most likely an old Soviet diesel sub.
5	* Why did Bailey get into Yale when Cody didn't? She's from a low income family which gives a better story of overcoming adversity.
6	** The Martins were probably living in poverty for some time before the series began, though. It's been mentioned that they had lived in their minivan for at some point, and Cody's first reaction to being woken suddenly in the middle of the night was to ask if they were moving again. It's safe to assume that the whole premise of the original series of them living in the hotel was because they literally could not afford to stay anywhere else.
7	** While they had been poor in the past, "I used to be super poor but then my mom got a cushy job that allowed us to run wild in a fancy hotel for years" doesn't really have the same ring to it when it comes to an essay.
8	** Alternatively, a much more sound reason that is common in real life may be due to the fact that Cody was still a delinquent, and that this would have to be recorded somewhere. He may have the brains, but Yale was likely turned off by his misadventures with his brother over the years, deconstructing the show in a way.
9	* At first, London's ditzy comment about [[ItMakesSenseInContext being a missing person]] in one episode seems in character. But, at the episode's ending, we learn that she ''is'' the missing person, Richard Gold.
10	* The show is Disney's answer to a [[Series/DrakeAndJosh similar show]] on a [[Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} rival channel.]]
11	* If Maddie's parents hate one another so much, why can't they get a divorce? Considering that they're Catholic (Maddie's OverlyLongName includes a large number of Catholic saints and she goes to a Catholic school) it's likely they can't because Catholicism frowns heavily on divorce.
12	* Why does Moseby have UltimateJobSecurity? He's the only person who can rein in London. Also, Mr. Tipton ''does'' seem to love her despite his neglect; he likely knows that if he fired Moseby, London would never forgive him.

15	* There's a reason the twins (particularly Cody) are tired of their mother's story about the past boyfriends she joined a band with. Her tendency for on-and-off relationships could be what lead to her divorcing their dad. The last thing they want to hear is another story of the very thing that drove their fun (if irresponsible) father out of the picture.
16	* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'': in the '[[FairytaleEpisode fairytales]]' episode, where each of the Acts is a classic fairy tale, retold with the characters from the show in the places of the characters in the fairy tale. Pretty standard stuff for a Creator/{{Disney}} SitCom. Each of the stories uses the FramingDevice of it being [[AllJustADream one of the character's dream]]. Also standard. The [[FridgeLogic strange part]]? [[AlphaBitch London's]] dream, which is a retelling of "Literature/SnowWhite", has London herself as the evil queen, with Bailey as Snow. It ends with the Queen eating her own poison apple and collapsing in the woods. So, London, a.k.a. vapid personified, has a dream in which she is the villain, and the story ends with her dying alone? Um, wow. Could this possibly mean that she knows how shallow she really is -- as vain as an Evil Queen who would murder someone for being prettier than she is -- and possibly even resents that part of her personality so much that her ''death'' is literally referred to in her own dream as being a HappyEnding? In other words, London, [[HiddenDepths at some subconscious level]], [[DrivenToSuicide hates herself and wants to die]]? Probably even without consciously realizing it? Talk about dark for Disney... true, it ''might'' have been entirely unintentional on the part of the writers, but it brings up certain questions, that's for sure.
17	** This sounds like it might have been a ParentalBonus.
18	** This is a mix of FridgeBrilliance and FridgeHorror: In the fashion show episode, London started developing a distorted body image, starving herself and overexercising. ''People with eating disorders tend to have suicidal thoughts.''
19	* ''Maddie on Deck'': Apparently child marriage is legal and socially accepted in Liechtenstamp. Maddie being forced into marriage is a legitimate cause for concern, but there's also the fact it's a ''child'' who's pushing for that marriage and outright threatening armed conflict on people who object.
20	* Because of crossovers with ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', vampires exist in ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', ''Suite Life On Deck'', ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'', ''Series/HannahMontana'', ''Series/CoryInTheHouse'', and ''Series/{{Jessie}}''.
21	** Vampires are the least of everybody's worries. Some of the creatures ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' unleashed upon the Franchise/DisneyChannelLiveActionUniverse are downright nightmarish.
22	* In the episode "The Suite Life Goes Hollywood Part 1" of ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', the viewer sees the television writers talking to Zack and Cody about their {{Zany Scheme}}s. We hear one [[ItMakesSenseInContext taken out of context]], about a monkey that's still in the hotel vents... given some more thought, if that poor monkey is still in the vents, it could be starving or left to perish. On top of that, any guests hearing its anguished cries from the vent might be pretty frightened.
23	* In one episode, London comes via helicopter to rescue Maddie from a Summer camp. The helicopter crashes offscreen when she's in a cabin. Either everyone ignores the pilot, or London was flying the helicopter herself and left it idling outside the camp.
24	** Its a toss up as to whether the idea of an ignored dead pilot or that of London flying is more disturbing.
25	* In the international dateline episode in the sequel series, a GroundhogDayLoop occurs and Cody keeps on living the same day over and over with no one else the wiser. Though we the audience only see about 4 or 5 of these moments before he breaks the loop when he talks about how he initially thought what breaking the loop would entail, which is getting Bailey to kiss him at the dance, Zack responds by pointing out that he isn't a good dancer, and when Cody says he took a class, Zack says it would take more than one class, which Cody accepts and says he would take 50 classes in order to break the loop and by the time it gets to when they were about to kiss but then the loop occurs he is a good dancer. How many times did Cody have to relive the same day but we just didn't see? Also I wonder if anyone else in the world was knowledgeable of the loop and was wondering if they could break it or not and when they couldn't had to live through the same day over and over.
26	** On that point in {{Series/Wizards of Waverly Place}}, Alex turns back times 18 times so that Justin can have his first kiss and the spell is explained as being the source of déja vu. It’s entirely possible that (considering each one is explicitly set in the same continuity of the other) that might have led to Cody’s loop.
27	*** That loop explicitly had Alex only rewinding at most a minute in time to give Justin a do over. Cody was clearly experiencing more time than that before it looped back as he starts in the morning in school and the dance when the loop started is clearly at night.
28	* Good gravy is the movie's plot freaky when you think about it. The whole point of the experiment the villain is running is to erase people by making them into one person in two bodies. And this almost happens to Zack...
29	* Considering Mr. Moseby's race, and how Ilsa seems to have it out for him from the very moment she steps into the hotel in her debut episode, is she really just being overly strict, or is she actually racist and nitpicking at him because she doesn't see him as worthy of running a high-class hotel?
30	** Not to mention the [[AllGermansAreNazis Nazi jokes]] associated with her.
