Mr. Moseby tells the Tipton staff that Mr. Tipton wishes to film a commercial at the Boston Tipton, and all the staff have to do the auditions. Esteban, Arwin, Patrick, London, Maddie, and Carey do the auditions, as well as Cody and Zack making their attempts. Eventually, Carey ends up singing and Zack and Cody star in the commercial, making it family-oriented.
Tropes:
- Acquaintance Denial: Happens when the Martins are on line to audition for a Tipton commercial and Carey recognizes the director as an ex-boyfriend.Carey: I can't believe it. I know that director! I once had a date with him!Cody: Remember to mention we're your kids.Carey: He hates me.Zack: And your name was...?
- Big "NO!": Mr. Moseby does it when he realizes more kids are coming to the hotel.
- Characterization Marches On:
- When Arwin auditions and gets rejected, he takes out a bowling ball and says he can juggle. But in a later episode, "Bowling", Arwin is afraid of bowling balls, pins, or even the word bowling.
- Cody can dance in this episode, but in the episode "Footloser", he couldn't.
- It's All About Me: London, as always, has this attitude, especially when they talk about who is going to star in the commercial. During the meeting, she gets bored.Um, if this isn't about me, could we make it about me? 'Cause, otherwise, me is going.
