Line #92 Radar/ShakeItUp


1	The Creator/DisneyChannel continues to push the envelope in defying its own puritanical censorship standards.
2	----
3	* In "Start It Up", [=CeCe=] suggests Rocky to ImagineTheAudienceNaked. This, however, disgusts her, especially when she sees a guy do some kind of vibrate dance (note, however, that [=CeCe=] is [[CovertPervert grinning like a]] {{Cheshire Cat\| Grin}}.)
4	-->'''Rocky:''' I'm putting even more clothes on that one!
5	** This wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't on Disney but in the same episode, we get this exchange:
6	-->'''[=CeCe=]:''' Remember when we were at camp and I wanted to race those canoes?\
7	'''Rocky:''' They were very unstable.\
8	'''[=CeCe=]:''' No, I'm very unstable! I tipped over the canoe, cut my lip, and my top came off!\
9	'''Rocky:''' [=CeCe=], you were ten. Nobody even knew you were a girl.\
10	'''[=CeCe=]:''' I KNEW!
11	** The out of context scene in the opening with [=CeCe=] forcing [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything milk]] into Rocky's mouth and then Rocky... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything spitting it out with a disgusted look on her face]].
12	* At the end of the episode where Flynn brings Henry to his karate class, Henry successfully "flips" [=CeCe=]. As Henry rejoices over finally being able to beat ''someone'', Flynn says to him: "Now you can walk tall and ''proudly say that you beat up a girl!''"
13	* From the second episode:
14	-->'''Flynn:''' You guys aren't from here, are you?\
15	'''Tinka:''' We are from foreign land where you would already be working in a factory.
16	** [[DontExplainTheJoke You don't usually hear a joke about child labor on a kid's show.]]
17	* The way how [=CeCe=] and Rocky were chewing the spaghetti (before their near-SpaghettiKiss) in "Meatball It Up" is very [[EroticEating suggestive]].
18	* An example of {{Twincest}} in "Add It Up" when Tinka has to explain to Gunther that they aren't going to get married. He seems disappointed.
19	** Could be justified in that this may have been a custom in... wherever they came from.
20	** Also in "Add It Up", Gary makes a lot of advances at [=CeCe's=] mom.
21	-->'''Mrs. Jones:''' My taser is fully charged and I'm not afraid to use it.\
22	'''Gary:''' Right back at ya.
23	*** or
24	-->'''Mrs. Jones:''' (to [=CeCe=]) I hate to be bad cop here, but if you don't raise your grades, you're off the show.\
25	'''Gary:''' You know, I wouldn't mind if you played a little bad cop with me.
26	** The result of Deuce and Gunther's many [[OneSidedArmWrestling arm wrestling matches]]:
27	-->'''Rocky:''' Deuce, where's your clothes?\
28	'''Deuce:''' None of your business. You're just lucky we thumb wrestled and I [[RightThroughHisPants won back my underwear]].\
29	** During one of those matches, Deuce claims to be Gary Wilde and texts him to meet at the studio for "special rehearsal."
30	** This seems to be an ongoing thing. In "Show It Up", Flynn performs a magic trick which includes [[PullARabbitOutOfMyHat producing Deuce's underwear from a hat]]:
31	-->'''Deuce:''' How'd you do that?\
32	'''Flynn:''' Impressed? Would you say I... ''knocked your socks off?''\
33	'''Deuce:''' Okay, let's move on to another trick before I [[TheNudifier wind up naked]].\
34	'''Flynn:''' Yeah, [[TooMuchInformation nobody wants to see that]].
35	* In "Give It Up", Mrs. Locassio mentions that she used to dance as a Vegas showgirl ''[[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn in her birthday suit]]''.
36	** Also in "Give It Up":
37	-->'''Deuce:''' FYI, Seraphina told me couture means fancy clothes. I thought it meant lady parts.
38	** At the beginning of the episode, [=CeCe=] is dreaming about being the star of "Shake It Up" and dancing solo. Rocky comes to inform her that she is dreaming and reminds her that she was making out with [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Robert Pattinson]] before going on stage. [=CeCe=] replies, "Don't worry, I didn't let him bite my neck!"
39	* In one episode, Tinka and Ty have a series of ping pong matches (all of which Ty loses). Eventually, Ty does get to win, and their rules state that the winner gets to hit the loser with the ping pong ball. Ty refuses, saying he won't hit a girl. Tinka tells him he's "not a man, he doesn't even deserve to wear the pants he wears!"
40	* In "Kick It Up", [=CeCe=] looks for new people to hang out with other than Rocky, leading to this:
41	-->'''[=CeCe=]:''' I'm so glad to be hanging out with you again. I really missed you. You wanna [[GirlWatching go to the park and meet boys]]?\
42	'''Flynn:''' [[HoYay I go to the park every day and meet boys...]] ''eight year old boys!''
43	* In "Age It Up", the main conflict in the episode was [=CeCe=] and Rocky having to deal with the ephebophiliac relationship between 16 year old Justin Starr and his mid-twenty year old female manager. They most likely got it past the radar when it was [[TheReveal revealed]] that [[spoiler:Justin is [[OlderThanTheyLook actually 24 years old]]]].
44	** Also, the lyrics to Justin's song "Not Too Young to Feel this Way", are very disturbing knowing that he is in a relationship with his manager, before we know [[spoiler:that he is 24 years old]]. Lampshaded by [=CeCe=] and Rocky:
45	-->'''Rocky:''' Justin, we saw you kissing your manager.\
46	'''[=CeCe=]:''' And frankly, you ''are'' too young to feel this way!
47	* From "Party It Up":
48	-->'''Flynn:''' We need more boys in this house. I'm outnumbered!\
49	'''[=CeCe=]'s Mom:''' Hey, don't look at me! Factory's closed.
50	** They even got away with an ''anorexia'' joke in the same episode(though it was removed in later airings and in all streaming releases after Music/DemiLovato criticized the network for making light of the disease):
51	-->'''Supermodel:''' I could just eat you up! You know, if I ate.
52	** Another minor example occurs in "Party It Up", when the two female protagonists withdraw and groan after [[BreastAttack body bumping]]. This followed the body bump of two guys...who did not groan.
53	* In "Hook It Up", Rocky says this in response to changing in public:
54	-->'''Rocky:''' Well, my banjo prefers to stay in its case.
55	** Also in "Hook It Up", after Ty teaches Flynn some dance moves to impress a girl he likes, Ty tells him to be careful not to pull something he might need after he's impressed the girl.
56	** In response to being accused of sucking up to the boss:
57	-->'''Gunther:''' We have a saying in our country: "You can't get to the top unless you kiss the bottom."
58	** Another example. After [=CeCe=] is used as a mop, Tinka comments that she has always known that [=CeCe=] is a dirty, dirty girl.
59	* In "Match It Up", we got this:
60	-->'''Henry:''' So you see my conundrum.\
61	'''Flynn:''' I don't know what a conundrum is, but I'm pretty sure I don't wanna see yours!
62	** [=CeCe=] was seen wondering why Deuce was so turned off by her.
63	* A non-sexual one in "Wild It Up", when Rocky, after trying to act "bad", breaks into the vice principal's office and bubble wraps it. Deuce tells her in order to escape punishment she should go to a vending machine in the subway, find the key to a locker with a fake passport, go to Costa Rica to meet his cousin Zuzu who will set her up working in a factory, and her new name will be Carlos Esperanza.
64	* One of the songs, "Scratch" features the line (which could easily be taken the wrong way): "You need to get yours, I need to get mine." Another song, "Roll the Dice" is basically all about gambling...
65	** Heck, the entire theme song seems to be a huge DoubleEntendre.
66	** The song "Watch Me" gets away with repeating the line "watch me, do me". Or, quite possibly, "watch me do me." No matter if the comma exists in the line or not, how it got past the radar is beyond me.
67	*** It's the latter, and it's a relatively harmless colloquialism for "watch me be myself." Which isn't to say that a DoubleEntendre isn't intended.
68	* They seem to be drawing attention to [=CeCe=]'s lack of a body:
69	-->'''[=CeCe=]:''' Don't worry, in a few years, you'll have a figure.\
70	'''Little Girl:''' You don't have a figure.\
71	'''[=CeCe=]:''' I do too!\
72	'''Little Girl:''' Yeah, if the figure is a 1!
73	* Gunther and Tinka's show was about puppets who go through "[[UnusualEuphemism magical]]" changes in their adolescent bodies. Gunther even has a puppet say, "I'm getting yarn in places I didn't have yarn before."
74	** This is [[ContinuityNod brought up again]] in "Show It Up", when Gunther and Tinka are supposed to perform with Randy, Candy and the Bulldog Bunch in the talent show.
75	* In Rocky's fantasy of what happens if they are no longer best friends, [=CeCe=] is a pop star, who is asked if she had work done. She replies that she had a butt job and a face lift, and gets told that her cheeks look fuller... Which cheeks?
76	* In "Model It Up", Flynn is watching a Soap Opera with Mrs. Locassio and this exchange occurs:
77	-->'''[=Flynn=]:''' I don't understand what's happening. I thought that guy came over to clean her pool.\
78	'''Mrs. Locassio:''' Well, that's enough life lessons for today.
79	* In the episode "Doctor It Up", Deuce mentions that his dad wants him in the family business, but until he's 18 he can't know what it is...
80	* In "Jingle It Up", [=CeCe=] and Gunther are chosen to do a dance on "Good Morning Chicago." Tinka is so upset, she storms off ranting in her native language. When Gary asks Gunther to translate, Gunther tells him that he's not comfortable repeating it in front of [=CeCe=] and Rocky,"...but rest assured it had something to do with the horse you rode in on."
81	* The entire ''Break It Down'' album. Example:
82	** ''Twist My Hips''
83	-->[-Do feel this?-]\
84	[-Do you feel that?-]\
85	...\
86	[-Are you ready to move it? Move it?-]\
87	[-Cause I'm ready to lose it! Lose it!-]
88	* In "Sweat It Up", [=CeCe=]'s mom goes out with Cece's gym teacher (she'd been faking an injury in class and got caught) and it sounds like it didn't go especially well. The next day, the gym teacher tells [=CeCe=] she'll have to make up the missed classes in a relatively short time or go to summer school. [=CeCe=] asks him, "Is this because my mom blew you off?" She means because she didn't show interest in him but it sounds like something else ...
89	* On one episode, a critic writes a bad review of Rocky and Cece's dancing on Shake it Up Chicago, so they spend most of the episode trying to dance for him to get him to give them a better review. At one point, they corner him in an elevator and tell him they're going to "razzle-dazzle" him. The critic gets a horrified look on his face and shouts "No!" I wonder what he thought they were going to do to him? wink wink
90	* In "Tunnel It Up" Rocky says the only two people tall enough to dance with her when she's in heels are the guy who she winds up taking and the captain of the girl's basketball team.
91	-->'''Rocky''' (pouting): And she didn't ask me.
92	* It's amazing how Tinka's last line in "Reality Check It Up" was able to get past anyone's radar.
93	-->'''Tinka''': You milk my goat, I shear your sheep.
94	* In "Shake It Up, Up & Away", [[ItMakesSenseInContext Ty gets trapped inside a giant dough]], so he asks Deuce to grab the phone in his pocket and call for help. Deuce digs for the phone, but Ty quickly screams "HEY, THAT'S NOT THE PHONE!" with a very disgusted look on his face. Deuce apologizes with an equally disgusted look.
95	* A minor case in '' Apply It Up", only because its said by girls and not boys. When Rocky and [=CeCe=] are excited about getting mail from the Chicago Fine Arts Academy, Rocky notices that [=CeCe's=] envelope is much bigger than hers and says " Why is your package bigger than mine" Nearly unnoticeable and if Ty and Deuce said it, it would have crashed into every radar tower imaginable.
96	* In "Throw It Up" [=CeCe=] and Rocky are trying to get a sick and sleeping Gary ready for the broadcast. Neither one wants to put on his pants leading to an argument:
97	-->'''[=CeCe=]''': I'll get him dressed and then you do his pants.
98	-->'''Rocky''' (freaked out): Me!? You do his pants!
99	-->'''[=CeCe=]''': No, you do his pants.
100	-->'''Rocky''': No, you do it.
101	-->'''[=CeCe=]''': Fine. We'll both do it.
102	** Although the girls needing to remove his sweatpants to put on his other pants is lampshaded by the fact that they just put them on ''over'' his sweatpants, Gary giggles and mumbles unconsciously, "it tickles, mommy" to add to the awkwardness of the situation. We also don't see the girls button the jeans or zip them up on screen, but when they bring him to the stage they are and he also appears to be wearing a belt implying they finished the job.
103	*** The worst of the scene however is that in a few shots, Gary's sweatpants don't do much to hide his ahem package. In fact, they kind of accentuate it. How this got past the editors when they are particularly careful about these things on the Disney Channel (e.g. they have edited shots where bras appeared unintentionally) is a little baffling.
104	* In the episode "Rock and Roll It Up", Gary's grandmother, Edie, tells the main characters about her being in the first dance show in America (or something like that). Because of this, the main cast portrays character's in Edie's story. Edie tell them about the time she and her best friend went to dance in a club despite the dance show being against it. One dancer tells Edie to shake her hips, to which she replies (something along the lines of), "I promised my mom I wouldn't until I was married."
105	* In the episode "Future It Up", the future versions of [=CeCe=] and Rocky dance for a reunion show. They think about calling the experience "2 Girls, 4 Legs, 1 Incredible Night." How that got past the radar I'll never know.
106	* "Shake, Santa, Shake" from the Christmas episode is the epitome of this.
107	** "He's shaking his hips,
108	** Got a a sack full of gifts,
109	** And a beard that's crazy white"
110	** And then...
111	** "Shake, Santa, shake it,
112	** We know you wanna make it
113	** Naughty never looks so nice
114	** We want that merry, merry!
115	** We want that merry, merry!
116	** We want that merry, merry!
