''Making the Band'' (2000-2009) is an MTV reality television series. It centers around various musical acts, most famously "Da Band" of Bad Boy fame. The first season chronicled O-Town's rise to fame, but has since been overshadowed by Sean "Diddy Combs' own acts, Da Band (Making the Band 2), Danity Kane (Making the Band 3), and Day26 (Making the Band 4).
Making the Band 2 is the most well-known series of the four. Its popularity skyrocketed upon being [[Series/ChappellesShow hilariously parodied by]] Creator/DaveChappelle.
----
!!This series provides examples of:
* ArchNemesis: Fred and Ness after Episode 4.
* BerserkButton: Talking about Fred's family.
** Denying [[SassyBlackWoman Babs]] her hair appointment.
** [[BriefAccentImitation "RAGGADU BLOOD OF A SLAVE"]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sara gets completely pissed with her fellow band members upon their constant partying and mistreatment of her and her family, almost resulting in fights with Chopper and Fred.
* BrilliantButLazy: Dylan is actually quite good on songs when he actually puts effort into his work. This doesn't happen often, however.
* CloudCuckooLander: Chopper. Also Dylan.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Ness attempts to fight Babs ("you wanna step up like a man to a nigga, I'mma knock you out like a man!") as she rips him a new one for denying her hair appointment.
* TheDitz: Chopper, which isn't very surprising considering him being the youngest member of Da Band.
* DoubleStandard: Ness attempts to avert this by stepping up to Babs, even if he was clearly in the wrong.
* DreadfulMusician: Dylan tends to be this, which is a given considering his laziness and stubbornness.
** Sara loses her voice from the constant stress of living with the group and being away from her family, resulting in a classic example of this trope as she tries to record a song.
* {{Jerkass}}: The whole group towards Sara.
** Fred tends to be very confrontational and abrasive, best demonstrated when he [[KickTheDog yells at Sara for telling him to mind his business and stop badmouthing her husband and children over the band's collective money.]]
** Ness is also very rude quite often, which lands him in a heated argument with Babs and at least four fights with Fred.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Fred's hostility towards Ness in episode 9 comes from Ness sharing very disrespectful comments about Fred and his family at home after Episode 4's ending.
* LargeHam: Dylan's accent tends to get played-up occasionally. Lampshaded and parodied by his fellow band members, particularly Chopper and Babs.
* ManChild: Chopper (though, to be fair, he was 15-16 by the time of MTB2's run). Dylan is a straight example.
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Sara. Babs occasionally.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Dylan tends to use his Jamaican accent which he uses for vocals in his everyday speech. It usually slips when confronted with a serious topic or conversation.
* RealityTVShowMansion: Diddy's house in MTB2.
* SassyBlackWoman: '''BABS'''. Also [[NiceGuy Sara]] when she's pushed to her limits.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Jamie from MTB2 Season 1.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: The infamous "cheesecake walk" of MTB2's Season 2 premiere, as well as the various jobs Diddy has Da Band do in the next episode.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Babs' Tomboy to Sara's Girly Girl.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: "''Da'' Band".
