History WMG / NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide

* Judging from the students' wide age range and bizarre abilities, Polk could be a WizardingSchool in the [[MahouSenseiNegima Negiverse]].

** Or, going with the [[MahouSenseiNegima Negiverse]] Theory, a relative of Chamo.

[[WMG: Ned is the current generation of {{Blackadder}}.]]

[[WMG:There is some connection between this series and Bill Willingham's Main/{{Fables}}.]]

[[WMG:Timmy Toot-Toot and Heppokomaru/Gasser from Main/BoboboboBobobo are related.]]

[[WMG: Timmy Toot-Toot and [[BoboboboBobobo Gasser]] are ''the same person''.]]

Additionally, Spinelli has a love of metalworking, and Moze has a gift for woodworking. [[spoiler: They both also end up with their best friends and neighbors (T.J. for Spinelli, Ned for Moze).]]

After watching all those ''Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll'' reruns during The90sAreAllThat, I'm convinced that Ned and Clarissa are related somehow. Really pay attention to both of them, while they aren't directly similar to each other, they do share a lot of character traits... plus seeming to be the only characters in both shows who frequently break the fourth wall and seem to be very savvy in solving their problems in life. While Clarissa isn't old enough to have be Ned's mother, if they had any relation it would be safe to bet that they are cousins with a huge age gap.

As in RealLife, the decision would have been made at the district level, probably in TheNineties. Pal probably opposed it, and Crubbs' lack of organization left him unable to tell whether someone was breaking the uniform code or had been opted out by their parents; thus, getting rid of the unoforms would have been a no-brainer just after the turn of the millenium.

Basically Ned really did make a School Survival Guide and years later as a adult actually published it as a series of children's books (DiaryOfAWimpyKid..etc) And the show is only a humorous narrative by the author as how the books came to be. Or the show is told from the point of view of the Child reader in where humorous anecdotes about the creation of the books various chapters are laced throughout that tell how they were created when the author was their age.

[[spoiler: They both also end up with their best friends and neighbors (T.J. for Spinelli, Ned for Moze).]]

[[WMG: Cookie is a [[GirlGenius Spark.]]]]

[[WMG:Polk is a Main/WizardingSchool, possibly in the [[Main/HarryPotter Potterverse]].]]

* The Gryffindor uniform kid ''could'' just be a fan. People wear HarryPotter scarves in RealLife--it's not much of a stretch for someone to wear the full school uniform as a fashion statement.

[[WMG: The NDSSG verse is an AlternateUniverse of the {{Recess}} universe.]]

* Ned is AltVerse!T.J. Both are BookDumb protagonists, as well as the idea guys. They both also [[spoiler: either are implied to or end up being the OfficialCouple with their best friend who also has been their neighbor for a while (Spinelli for T.J., Moze for Ned.)]]
* Moze is AltVerse!Spinelli. Both are tough, short tempered {{tomboy}}s, the DeadpanSnarker of the group, and got their nicknames (based on their last names) to more easily differentiate themselves from the multiple other people in their elementary school classes with their same first names.

-->'''T.J.:''' There are a lotta Ashleys out there, but there's only one Spinelli.

-->'''T.J.:''' There may be many Ashleys in this world, but there will always be only one Spinelli.

* Ned is AltVerse!T.J. Both are BookDumb protagonists, as well as the idea guys. They both also [[spoiler: either are implied to or end up being the OfficialCouple with their best friend who also has been their neighbor for a while.]]

Both are tough, short tempered [[tomboy tomboyish]] girls, the DeadpanSnarker of the group, and got their nicknames (based on their last names) to more easily differentiate themselves from the multiple other people in their elementary school classes with their same first names.

C'mon, they're just asking for it. Ned's a GenreSavvy, [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary Middle School Student,]] Cookie's a GadgeteerGenius, and Mose is an ActionGirl [[strike: in the making]].

[[WMG: Ned Bigby and [[Main/ClarissaExplainsItAll Clarissa Darling]] are related.]]

After watching all those ''ClarissaExplainsItAll'' reruns during The90sAreAllThat, I'm convinced that Ned and Clarissa are related somehow. Really pay attention to both of them, while they aren't directly similar to each other, they do share a lot of character traits... plus seeming to be the only characters in both shows who frequently break the fourth wall and seem to be very savvy in solving their problems in life. While Clarissa isn't old enough to have be Ned's mother, if they had any relation it would be safe to bet that they are cousins with a huge age gap.

Read the book ''AChildCalledIt'' by Dave Pelzer. The next time anyone sees this episode, keep this theory in mind and see what you feel.

One-bite was a severely abused boy who's parents fed him very little, if any, food and never packed him a lunch or gave him lunch money, not even enough for a little something from a vending machine. This is why he'd go out of his way to steal anything he could at lunch, including cafeteria food. (which is always hyped up to be worse then eating out of the trash, even in the real world)

This also explains how, even with all the stuff he 'one-bites', he remains almost frighteningly thin. It also explains how he showed up out of nowhere, because he was rarely at school anyway because of all his 'accidents', and so his parents ensured that he'd receive no food. This is also why no one ever reported One-Bite to the office for his thefts, they knew he would get in serious trouble and be ether beaten or receive even less food.

This information was soon released around school. Crushed at what happened to One-Bite and how everyone was so blinded with protecting their own food that they ended up killing One-Bite, not a student nor teacher has ever brought up his name again. This explains why One-Bite hasn't even been mentioned since his episode.

*** I'm calling it: Moze is liveordie. Female, {{Deadpan Snarker}}, microphile. It all adds up.

Seriously. Listen to Seth say "I am sad." That's {{Bad Bad Acting}} right there. His excitement was more of victory ("YES! WOO!) rather than relief that he didn't lose them to Ned.

[[WMG:There is some connection between this series and Bill Willingham's {{Main/Fables}}.]]
Think about it. Bigby Wolf; Ned Bigby; and the school teams are called the Wolves... that's got to be at least a ShoutOut.
* It can't be a reference to the original story, either, because there's no other way in which Ned is big, bad, or a wolf.

[[WMG:Timmy Toot-Toot and Heppokomaru/Gasser from {{Main/Bobobobo Bobobo}} are related.]]
They're both Asian. They both have superpowered flatulence....

We know Gasser can speak perfect American-style English because he does it in the dub (how's that for circular reasoning?), and we've never seen him in school. It's never been established that Timmy can't speak Japanese, and we've never seen him out of school. The blue hair is a wig to protect his real hair from the Hair Hunters.

[[WMG:Polk is a Main/WizardingSchool, possibly in the [[Main/HarryPotter Potterverse]].]]
There's no way the Super-Tramp 3000 would've carried Cookie that far without grievous permanent injury; no way could Moze have built a fully-functioning two-story volcano inside the school in a couple of days; no way could Ned have been so oddly disfigured by his attempts to "look strong" only to revert to his normal self when he finally let his breath out - not by ''natural'' laws. Polk being a WizardingSchool would explain a lot.

The second part of the assertion takes more stretching; you'll have to accept the theories offered on the WMG/HarryPotter page about electronics and the UK Ministry of Magic. But J.K. Rowling has said that British and American wizarding culture "aren't necessarily" as closely related as in RealLife.

And then there was the time that [[Main/NewTransferStudent new kid]] wore a full Gryffindor House [[Main/TransferStudentUniforms uniform on his first day]]. You'd think someone, somewhere along the way, would've told him to show up in jeans and a t-shirt, especially if it's part of TheMasquerade. Apparently not.
* Usually, that would be the assistant principal's job. Would you take fashion advice from Crubbs?

** On the first day at your new school? Now ''that's'' {{Main/Otaku}}! And it's a good thing Polk didn't have its own uniform - or do jeans and a T-shirt count?

[[WMG: Ned is the current generation of {{Blackadder}}.]]
"Ned" can be short for "Edmund", the family name could have been changed by the ancestor who fle-, um, ''immigrated'' to America, Ned ''is'' good at playing the system, and his general lack of JerkAss -ness could be explained by anything from self-awareness and personal effort, to simply the idealism of youth (every other Blackadder we've seen has been at least 30).

All of which means that somewhere in England there's a school with a Baldrick and a Percy who are missing their Blackadder...

Sorta like an {{alternate universe}} or history where [[HighSchoolAU some of the characters are middle school aged and have different names.]] Ned could be Alt!J.D. -- they both have wild day dreams; his best friend Cookie could be Alt!Turk. Both shows even have an {{almighty Janitor}}!!
* The show is the LiveActionAdaptation of J.D.'s own School Survival Guide.

[[WMG: Ned really did create a School Survival Guide and the show is a narrative story/anecdote on how it was created ala TheWonderYears, HowIMetYourMother...etc]]

** I saw it as the new kid thinking that the Gryffindor uniform was typical English school garb, which is only slightly more ridiculous than believing that that [[AwesomeAnachronisticApparel Banker 1910]] outfit was typicalEnglish day garb.

* The [[strike: ferret]] weasel could be a spell gone wrong.

** Or, going with the [[MahouSenseiNegima Negiverse]] Theory, he's a relative of Chamo
