History Series / SoRandom

* {{Adorkable}}: Becky, the girl who was raised by *'''''[[{{Sting}} DUN DUN DUNNN]]'''''* [[spoiler:beavers]]!

''So Random!'' (2011-2012) is a SketchComedy series on the DisneyChannel. [[ShortRunner Only lasted one season.]] Technically, the third season of what once was ''SonnyWithAChance''. In that show, ''So Random'' was a ShowWithinAShow that the characters were stars on and snippets would be shown in between the off-set plots.

* AffectionateParody / StylisticSuck: Similar to its role in ''SonnyWithAChance'', it is a parody of ''Series/AllThat'', ''YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'', ''TheAmandaShow'', ''[[MickeyMouseClub MMC]]'', etc. and its tone reflects that.

* TheBandMinusTheFace: At least where the nucleus of the cast is concerned, it is basically ''SonnyWithAChance'' minus Sonny. The behind the scenes plotlines concerning Sonny have been abandoned as well, but are briefly brought back in the episode in which Tony Hawk guest-starred.

* CallBack: In one of the Tantrum Girl skits, Allisyn Ashley Arm wears her Blossom Scout uniform from ''SonnyWithAChance''.
** Glendovia, the [[{{Ruritania}} imaginary country]] featured in a ''SonnyWithAChance'' episode, gets a fair mention in one sketch.

** Jokes about anorexia, killing RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer (Although that was a SonnyWithAChance special episode), and GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER. This show was weirder than when I was a kid.

* SpinOff: In fact, the show (and its promos) removed all mentioning of the [[SonnyWithAChance original show]] and counts it as a "New season of ''So Random''".

** Everything he says is true. No matter how ridiculous it is. Which makes him a GenderFlip {{Expy}} of ''SaturdayNightLive'''s Penelope.

* ParentalBonus: A few, with shout-outs to ''TheKingsSpeech'' (a R-rated film with a famous ClusterFBomb scene) and "Advertising/TheMostInterestingManInTheWorld" (an ad for ''beer'').

* {{Sentai}}: Parodied with one sketch that was a TakeThat to {{Nickelodeon}}'s ''SupahNinjas''.

[[PoesLaw Unfortunately, without knowing this]], [[{{Defictionalization}} or with the burden of it having to stay true to its parodic nature and hold together as its own entity sans SWAC]], [[BrokenBase it can come across as over the top or mediocre in its own right]].
