* BadassBookworm: Elias and Tisini are somewhere between this and AcademicAlphaBitch. Yes, they are stuck-up nerds, but both are outspoken, stand up for themselves when somebody insults them, and can outsmart even teachers, especially if the teachers are being unfair or ignorant. While they are not popular, they occasionally get respect from their classmates because of this.


Added DiffLines:

* HighSchoolHustler: Chicco, who has no respect for the teachers, and is often pulling schemes with Massimo and/or Bruno as his sidekicks.

* ReplacedTheThemeTune: The show changes the theme song every season. Season 1 has "Fire Lady", Season 2 has "Studiare in Jeans" (probably the most famous), Season 3 has an unknown song that was never released. "Fire Lady" is a disco ballad with English lyrics that have nothing to do with the show. Season 2 and Season 3 have much goofier openings, and both seasons have upbeat and humorous Italian songs with school-related lyrics.

Very popular with the Italian audience of TheEighties, the show is a ComedySeries, often based on {{Running Gag}}s, and the plots usually don't take themselves seriously. The main characters are: charismatic but BookDumb leader Chicco, LovableJock Massimo, FatComicRelief Bruno, rich and blond DudeMagnet Sharon, alternative EmoTeen Benedetta, BetaCouple Daniele and Rossella, and two unpopular nerdy girls only known by their last names Elias and Tisini.

* GraduationForEveryone: Downplayed. While horrible students like Chicco Lazzaretti and Bruno Sacchi manage to pass the graduation exam, the only one who doesn't is ironically AcamedicAlphaBitch Tisini due to an argument with the examiners. She still graduates before the end of the summer after filing an appeal.

* ProductPlacement: One of the most infamous aspects of the show. Especially in the first two seasons, the protagonists are shamelessly mentioning many real-life brands, with Algida Cornetto (ice cream cone) being the most blatant one: people are shown eating it at least OnceAnEpisode in the first season, the advertizing slogan is mentioned in conversations between characters, Sharon is introduced eating one in the intro, and another scene in the intro has all the characters eating cornettos with huge "Algida" advertizing posters behind them. This is downplayed in season 3, as the products are only shown, but almost never mentioned by name.

'''I Ragazzi della 3ª C''' (''English: ''The Boys of the 3rd C'') [[note]] "Third", meaning the third/last year of Liceo Classico, a type of Italian high school, "C" because Italian classes are sorted by letter[[/note]] is an Italian series that aired from 1987 to 1989, focusing on a group of high school students during their senior year.

The show is a ComedySeries, often based on {{Running Gag}}s, and the plots usually don't take themselves seriously. The main characters are: charismatic but BookDumb leader Chicco, LovableJock Massimo, FatComicRelief Bruno, rich and blond DudeMagnet Sharon, weird EmoTeen Benedetta, BetaCouple Daniele and Rossella, and two unpopular nerdy girls only known by their last names Elias and Tisini.

Despite the high school setting and all the archetypal characters of SchoolStories, this show actually predates ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' by two years.
----
!!The show contains examples of:
* ArtifactTitle: The main characters graduate at the end of season 2, so in season 3 they are in college and no longer in 3ª C, their high school class.
* ButtMonkey:
** Bruno, who lets everyone take advantage of him, due to his gullible ExtremeDoormat personality.
** The two nerdy girls Elias and Tisini are often mocked for their physical appearance.
* DumbButDiligent: Bruno is gullible and naive, but hard-working and he always tries his best. Ironically, he takes his studies seriously but always gets horrible grades.
*EmoTeen: Benedetta embodies many traits of the emo/goth/alternative girl. She always wears black, likes to quote Asian literature and obscure horror movies, is a spiritualist, and is often wangsting about her hatred of modern society.
* FatComicRelief: Bruno is the only overweight character and also the most unlucky and the butt of all the jokes.
* HeldBackInSchool: Chicco is 24 years old and has repeated the senior year several times, but he just enjoys staying in high school. When he finally graduates at the end of season 2 (despite all his attempts to be held back again), he is so shocked that he needs his friends to comfort him.
* LastNameBasis: Elias and Tisini, as part of their TheFriendNobodyLikes status, since all the other protagonists refer to each other by their first names. Meanwhile, the first names of Elias and Tisini are never revealed.
* ProductPlacement: One of the most infamous aspects of the show. Especially in the first two seasons, the protagonists are shamelessly mentioning many real-life brands, with Algida Cornetto (ice cream cone) being the most blatant one: people are shown eating it at least OnceAnEpisode in the first season, the adveritizing slogan is mentioned in conversations between characters, Sharon is introduced eating one in the intro, and another scene in the intro has all the characters eating cornettos with huge "Algida" advertizing posters behind them. This is downplayed in season 3, as the products are only shown, but almost never mentioned by name.
* PutOnABusToHell: Benedetta's actress leaves the show in the third and last season, so it's stated in-universe that Benedetta moved to North Korea.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Sharon doesn't appear in the unaired pilot.
