History Recap / DannyPhantomS2E14BeautyMarked

Hurray, the Miss Teenage Happy Princess Beauty Pageant is coming to Casper High, and all the girls are thrilled! All except Sam, who finds beauty pageants sexist, demeaning, and shallow. So you can imagine Danny's and Tucker's surprise when she announces she's entering, to make a statement about just how sexist and demeaning and shallow the whole thing is. She's not the only one involved -- Danny gets chosen to be the pageant's single judge, which instantly makes him the most magnetic ChickMagnet in school. Naturally, he's too distracted by the attention to listen to Sam's concerns about the host, Dora Mattingly, who she thinks is acting very strange but whom the audience just thinks looks oddly familiar...

* TrophyWife: This is Aragon's only goal -- he just wants a human bride because no other ghosts have one. Fortunately for Sam, this means [[YouGotSpunk none]] [[AbductionIsLove of]] [[ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou the]] [[AttemptedRape usual]] [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty tropes]] associated with the villain trying to force the hero's love interest into marriage or the subsequent FridgeHorror apply.

* ShoutOut: Aragon's dragon form bears a striking resemblance to that of [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent's]]

* AbsenteeActor: Every female student we've ever seen at Casper High (from named minor characters to recurring unnamed background characters) appears... except Jazz and Valerie (which makes sense, as neither the {{Bookworm}} nor the ActionGirl would be the least bit interested in becoming the next Miss Teenage Happy Princess).

!This episode provides examples of:

* JudgementOfParis: The pageant comes across as a modern version of this, with Danny in the role of Paris. Like Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, all the contestants try to bribe him into picking her. It also turns out Aragn chose him as the judge because "surely a half-ghost would select a perfect human bride."

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: It’s one delivered by Sam that helps Dora realize that she can do so much better than being TheDragon to her brother.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: It's safe to say that this episode uses a ''lot'' of unflattering modern stereotypes retroactively attributed to the medieval period, with rather than anywhere close to how medieval society actually operated.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Unlike others who wear their amulets, Aragon and his sister are both able to transform into dragons at will.

* ChandelierSwing: Sam does this at one point during her huge spectacle to make Prince Aragon call off the wedding, noting that she’s always wanted to do it. Dora then admits that she’s always wanted to do it, too.

'''Dora:''' What I should’ve done ''ages'' ago!

And what does the winner of this pageant get, anyway? A one-way trip to the realm of the ghost of a medieval prince named Aragon (yes, ''that'' [[Recap/DannyPhantomS1E2ParentalBonding Aragon]]) to spend eternity as his bride. Surprise! It was all a trap!

* ArtifactOfDoom: Sam is forced to wear a tiara that prevents her form leaving Aragon's castle.

* TwoRightsMakeAWrong: The boys rescue attempt clashing with Sam's escape attempt.
