The Pacifier is a 2005 Disney live-action comedy starring Vin Diesel (in his first family comedy) and directed by Adam Shankman about a Navy Seal who is sent to babysit five obnoxious kids while their mother goes to Switzerland. What could possibly go wrong?After a rescue mission to save government scientist Howard Plummer ends with the scientist dead and Navy SEAL Lt. Shane Wolfe (Diesel) in the hospital, Shane is sent to protect the deceased scientist's family while their mother Julie (Faith Ford) and Shane's superior Captain Bill Fawcett (Chris Potter) go to Zurich, Switzerland, to retrieve a deposit box her husband had left there. Initially, the five kids, Alpha Bitch wannabe Zoe (Brittany Snow), rebel without a cause Seth (Max Thieriot), Firefly Scout Lulu (Morgan York), toddler Peter, and baby Tyler, cannot stand their new guardian and do everything they can think of to get him out. In response, Shane treats the family to some military style discipline.Things aren't much better at school. While Principal Claire Fletcher (Lauren Graham) allows him to be there to protect the kids, Vice Principal Dwayne Murney (Brad Garrett)— who actively dislikes Seth, particularly when he keeps ditching the wrestling team (which Murney also coaches) — is a totally different matter. As Shane tries to deal with these issues and come to some sort of agreeable arrangement with the kids, he tries to find the missing satellite program, all while dealing with a pair of masked ninjas who are looking for the same.They get word that their mother cannot get the box until she can supply the correct password, so she ends up staying for a lot longer. As time goes on, Shane finds himself warming up to the kids, and the feelings are eventually reciprocated. In the end, Shane becomes a surrogate father to the kids, and, with their help, he saves their father's research from falling into enemy hands. | |

Title Drop: Shane is describing his special ops wrestling grapples with one in particular (and his personal favorite) called "the Pacifier." Just so you know, it involves putting the opponent's fingers in said opponent's own mouth. | |

Gone Horribly Right/Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Seth and Zoe pour cooking oil on the stairs, hoping that Shane will slip on it. Instead, Helga the nanny does and then does a rather bad topple down the stairs. This causes Helga to quit and leave in a rage, despite Shane's attempts to stop her from leaving. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| The Pacifier / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The promotional trailer combines a scene of Shane preparing to drive the family minivan to school, answered by Lulu dramatically leaping out to kiss the ground after the van finally comes to a stop. The latter scene is actually in response to Zoey's first driving lesson with the van, rather than Shane's Badass Driver skills. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: Shown during the Wild Teen Party. Zoe is yelling at her boyfriend Scott for inviting a whole bunch of people that she didn't know to her house for a party. After Shane gets back and makes them clean up the mess they made (which includes baloney plastered to the ceiling with mustard), she's upset...because Scott will never speak to her again. Shane, being a SEAL, has the sense to call her out on that. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| The Pacifier / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Zig-zagged. While Vice Principal Murney has reason to be angered when a Nazi armband was brought to school, which can cause fear and panic due what it represents, he may have just subconsciously wanted a reason to get Seth in trouble since the latter was only using it for a play that involved Nazis in the plot. Still, not a smart move on Seth's part. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Pacifier / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The kids' mother's name Julie Plummer is an explicit reference to The Sound of Music stars Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. There are many references to The Sound Of Music, all the way up to comparing the movie to the musical itself. | |

Mistaken for Subculture | |
| The Pacifier / int_c9c0fd62 | comment |
Mistaken for Subculture: Seth, the older son, is mistaken for a Neo-Nazi when he dyes his hair blond and a swastika armband is found in his locker. Turns out that he was actually playing Rolf in a community production of The Sound of Music. | |

| The Pacifier / int_d9f4777d | comment |
Refreshingly Normal Life-Choice: While Shane initially does not take well to being a manny in suburban Maryland, especially since the kids are all difficult in their own ways, he grows to love them and love being involved in a mundane life. After foiling the evil plot so that the family is safe, he retires from the Navy to become the high school's wrestling coach. | |

You Are Number 6: Given Shane's background in the U.S. Navy SEALS, Shane discards the kids' names. He labels them "Red One", "Red Two", "Red Three" and "Red Four", and “Red Baby”. | |

But Now I Must Go: Subverted. Once their mother returns home and they take down the North Korean spies, Shane tearfully tells the kids he can't stay with them any longer; though it turns out Shane chose not to return to the Navy and instead has become the new wrestling coach for their high school. So in a way, they can still see and meet him, but they aren't living with him anymore. | |
