| Drake & Josh | comment |
Drake & Josh is an over-the-top Nickelodeon sitcom created by Dan Schneider about two Odd Couple stepbrothers that ran for four seasons from 2004 to 2007.Drake Parker (Drake Bell) is a popular, conceited ladies' man and dim-witted musician who ends up getting a stepbrother in Josh Nichols (Josh Peck), a goofy, affectionate, unpopular geek (until Josh Peck lost the weight and became quite handsome, that is, although Josh Nichols was still a geek).The two barely even know each other before their parents get married, but end up growing fairly close and balancing each other out. Drake teaches Josh how to not be so uptight, and Josh tends to bring out a nicer side of Drake. Many episodes are about Drake getting Josh to do something a little outrageous and not be so stiff, and it usually involves a plan to make money or get a girl.And then there's Drake's horrible sister, Megan (Miranda Cosgrove), who is several years younger than him and goes out of her way to torment him and Josh whenever possible. She has no excuse for it, and continuously avoids punishment since their parents think she is an angel. The last season saw a reduction in her general mean-spiritedness (more harmless pranks than outright evil torture), but throughout the series, there is only one moment she shows genuine affection towards them.The show is a Spin-Off of the sketch comedy series The Amanda Show, which Schneider had created and which featured Drake Bell, Josh Peck, and Nancy Sullivan as cast members. Schneider was impressed with the chemistry Drake and Josh displayed during several of the show's sketches, and decided to give them their show where they could play off their differing personalities.Like its fellow TeenNick programs, the show was aimed at preteens and young teenagers, but notable for many jokes aimed at adults. Homages to many classic sitcoms, innuendo and camp are the order of the day in many episodes. If there's a sitcom trope, Drake and Josh probably covered it.The show had two TV movies, Go Hollywood (set during the series), which was later referenced in its "sequel" via the series' near-end special Really Big Shrimp. About 15 months after the series ended, Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh was aired, set about 2 months following the events of Really Big Shrimp.Despite being the earliest part of the Nick Verse, it wasn't where it originated. Drake Bell helped, but it started in Zoey 101; Drake and Josh, meanwhile, exists as a Show Within a Show in the Nick Verse. Well, most of the time.note Side characters Gavin, Craig & Eric appear in the iCarly episode "iStart A Fanwar", while Helen appears in the Victorious episode "Helen Back Again". And while iCarly is later retconned into a fellow "show within a show", Victorious isn't, and both have had crossovers with each other...The producers and several cast members on this show (namely Schneider and Cosgrove) went on to make the show iCarly, which is very much in the same vein of comedy.In late 2016, a web series entitled Where's Walter started being posted to Drake Bell's YouTube channel. The series chronicles Drake Parker's attempts to find Josh's father Walter Nichols, who has gone missing. The series features several cast members from the show returning, although its canon status is unclear. | |

Aliens Speaking English | |
| Drake & Josh / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking English: Parodied in "Alien Invasion." Drake and Josh try to scare Megan making her believe that her radio is getting signals from aliens. While Josh tries some "alien-sounding" gibberish, Drake starts speaking some random words in French, which outrages Josh. | |

| Drake & Josh / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: As antagonistic as she could be to Drake and Josh, Megan's multiple Pet the Dog moments show she cares about her brothers, such as when she saves them from counterfeiters, won't let anyone else hurt them, and kisses them when they defend her from her cheating boyfriend. And it works the other way around too. Drake and Josh may not like Megan's pranks, but they do care about her and don't want anyone to hurt her. | |

The Millstone: "Josh Is Done" showed that Drake is this in regards to Josh. Without having to worry about Drake's selfishness, Josh would be able to enjoy a very good life. Conversely, without Josh, Drake would fall apart. So really, Drake needs Josh more than Josh needs Drake. | |

Nerds Are Sexy: "Smart Girl" centers around Drake's attraction to Michelle, a brilliant girl with glasses and bookworm whom he still finds incredibly hot. There are also plenty of fangirls who feel this way about Josh. In fact, several episodes show that if he just had more confidence in himself, he could get plenty of dates just fine. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Drake & Josh / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The writers used Josh's girlfriend to increase the subtext between the stepbrothers! When Josh and Mindy first become a couple, Josh can't bear to tell Drake, and Mindy is offended and refuses to date him unless he confesses. In context, it's because Josh knows Drake hates Mindy... and the result of Josh keeping it a secret is that Josh comes across like he's hiding that he's cheating on Drake and Mindy refusing to be "the other woman." The ongoing animosity between Josh's girlfriend and his flirty stepbrother, culminating in Drake inadvertently causing them to break up by poisoning Josh's mind against her, easily comes across as Drake and Mindy being romantic rivals for Josh. When Josh invites Mindy's parents to dinner at his house to impress them, he freaks out when he discovers Drake is home and demands that he stay upstairs and keep away from them... because he doesn't want Drake ruining things, not because he's hiding him... | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Drake & Josh / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: In "The Affair", Walter has an allergic reaction from unwittingly eating cumin, which manifests identically to an asthma attack, and has to be given an inhaler and a thump on the chest to recover. Actual cumin allergies are anaphylactic, with the effects being far more visible (among other things including heavy swelling) and requiring epinephrine injections. The writers needed a gross substance for Drake's B-plot in "Mindy Loves Josh." They chose "lizard urine." Reptiles don't "urinate" the way mammals do; they excrete all waste together in a thick, goopy, white substance just like birds, meaning the giant containers of yellow liquid Drake and his mom carry around simply would not exist in reality. | |

Title Drop: Played around within the Christmas special, where Josh addresses themselves as "Josh and Drake" in a signed letter to their parole officer, only to have Drake interrupt by saying that it sounds weird "the other way." Josh begrudgingly changes it to the title proper. | |

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: The episode "Blues Brothers" features Drake entering a talent show with his band, with it becoming apparent in the episode they intend to perform "I Found a Way." Doubles as an Actor Allusion, since Drake Parker writes the song in the show, which Drake Bell wrote & performed to serve as the theme song for Drake & Josh in real life. | |

Did You Think I Can't Feel? | |
| Drake & Josh / int_1bf0adc6 | comment |
Did You Think I Can't Feel?: Josh usually always suffers as a result of Drake's carelessness, but he usually puts up with it... until the episode "Josh Is Done." Josh gets fed up with Drake after he causes Josh to be late to his very important chemistry test, and so, because the teacher is incredibly strict, Josh has to take a make-up test with one letter grade knocked off. He decides he is "done" with Drake; they may be roommates until Josh leaves for college, but that's all they'll be. Drake is thoroughly convinced that Josh will come crawling back to him soon, and just waits. But Josh's life gets exponentially better without Drake; his rash is gone, Helen doesn't hate him and plays racquetball with him, and he gets asked out by a cute cashier. Drake's life on the other hand starts falling apart without Josh in it. Drake finally breaks down and asks Josh to forgive him for being such a horrible brother and come back into his life. | |

However, they're so guarded against the revenge that they just know is coming that they can't sleep, turn down a double date because they're afraid the girls have been sent by Megan, and generally ruin their own lives in fear. | |

Failed a Spot Check: Walter and Audrey somehow never catch onto Megan's gadgets, gizmos, and shenanigans, including those she openly posted online. In "Foam Finger", Josh doesn't bat an eye when Megan switches the note on his apple strudel container. In "Theater Thug", Josh has the titular crook on the ground for the police. The police instead arrest Josh while completely missing the actual crook, allowing the crook to flee the scene. In "Tree House", Drake failed to notice ahead of time there was no door for him and Josh to get out of the tree house. It was only until he walks into the wall that he starts putting two and two together. | |

Engineered Heroics: Played straight, but then Subverted in the episode "Who's Got Game?" Drake accidentally let it slip that Carly, a girl he was dating, was part of a competition between him and his brother to see who could date the most girls...only he liked her. One of his several attempts to show her that he's "honest" involves Craig and Eric to make it seem like he found one of their wallets and returned it to them. Carly sees through this and walks off...and then one of the nerds comes back and asks Drake if he stole his mom's credit card from the wallet. He did. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Drake & Josh / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In "First Crush," Josh shows Drake a very skilled painting he has of his crush Kathy, one of many. After she catches Josh lying to her about playing the guitar, Drake sneaks one of the paintings in her locker as a birthday present. She is amazed by it and Josh, after getting over his shock about his painting being in her locker, explains why he lied and how he feels about her. This succeeds in getting him a date with her. In "Smart Girl," Josh tries to tutor Drake to impress a smart, beautiful girl, including teaching him the six noble gases. Drake joins the academic team, and Josh helps him through a walkie talkie and listening device, until it malfunctions. The last question is about the six noble gases, and he is able to answer it. In "We're Married," Yooka, Josh's e-pal from Yudonia, mentions that the goat is Yudonia's national symbol and very sacred to them. After Josh accidentally gets her and Drake married, he gets her and her parents to end the marriage by telling them that the meat they're eating is goat, and Drake is the one who made it. Subverted in "The Battle of Panthatar." Drake gets an autographed Beatles album. After their friend Thornton uninvites him and Josh to his 16th birthday party because he catches Drake kissing his girlfriend, they decide to give him the album as a birthday present, much to Drake's reluctance, since he's a big Beatles fan. He says it's the best birthday present he's ever gotten, but he still doesn't re-invite them to the party. | |

| Drake & Josh / int_23aa0567 | comment |
Obsessed with Perfect Attendance: In "The Affair," Josh adamantly refuses to skip school to spy on their dad because Josh has had a perfect attendance record since nursery schoolnote though Josh had skipped school in an earlier episode, "Pool Shark". Drake convinces him to go anyway. Regardless, he still has a perfect attendance award in "Who's Got Game." | |

A few episodes deal with men (like Gavin) calling Audrey hot. Corey and Toplin (Thornton's little brother) are two boys who "had a thing" for Megan. And as for Drake Parker... | |

Spiritual Successor: The Odd Couple... FOR KIDS! To Kenan & Kel. Not only both are sitcoms created by Dan Schneider and share a similar premise of a Fat and Skinny duo (until Josh Peck lost weight, that is) going through a lot of trouble, some episodes share plot points. For instance, the episode in which Drake and Josh make a bet to go through a week without junk food and video games (their respective vices) is very similar to a Kenan & Kel episode in which Kenan makes a bet that Kel couldn't go through a week without drinking orange soda. | |

Uninvited to the Party: In one episode, their friend Thorton is having a massive birthday party, complete with gift bags that have cellphones in them, and Drake and Josh are invited...until Thorton catches Drake making out with his girlfriend unknowingly. Drake and Josh are officially uninvited, and in desperation, they give him Drake's autographed Abbey Road record as a present... and he still doesn't let them into the party. So they pull off an elaborate scheme to crash it... just to get the record back and ditch. One episode sees Josh becoming a teacher for Megan's 5th-grade class. He's so tough on the kids that they all turn on Megan as a result. She attempts to go to a friend's birthday party at The Premier but is rudely told she's no longer invited and uses this as her motivation to sabotage Josh's class the next day. | |

Sadist Teacher | |
| Drake & Josh / int_2a6a8e89 | comment |
Sadist Teacher: Drake is the sole brunt of Mrs. Hayfer's hatred. One example is when Drake gets a question right, she still thinks it's wrong because it's from Drake. Until a random student says the same answer and Hayfer say it's correct. Josh of all people turns out to be one in "Megan's New Teacher" in a different way, as he shows no biased hate for any specific student, not even Megan. He has 5th-grade students learn from a college level textbook. When the students tell him the homework was so difficult that even their parents couldn't figure it out, Josh responds by giving them all a quiz that they inevitably fail. Mr. Roland refuses to let Josh take the exam just for being tardy, forces him to take a make-up exam next Saturday at 6 A.M., and drops him a letter grade. That being said, he does give Josh his grades back after he gets a 100% on his make-up exam. | |

Guilty Until Someone Else Is Guilty: In the episode "Honor Council", Drake is accused of moving Mrs. Hayfer's car into her classroom. Despite the question of how he would've done it going unanswered, people become more and more convinced that he was responsible, and even his stepbrother Josh, who was initially on his side, starts to believe he did it. It's only by getting Josh's rival Mindy Crenshaw to confess to the crime after being tipped off by Megan that he manages to clear his name. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Drake & Josh / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Megan has her moments: When Drake & Josh were arrested for stealing Grill/MP3 hybrids endorsed by Gary Coleman (They had merely been selling them, and had no idea the grills were stolen), they each got a phone call. When Drake made his call, he phoned home and told Megan he was in jail, who laughed it off as a prank, but when Josh phoned seconds later, there was a noticeable look of concern on her face when she realized that they really were in jail, and helped the FBI arrest the real thieves. There was also the time when Mindy framed Drake for putting their teacher's car in her classroom. Drake was likely going to lose until Megan decided to help. She even said she couldn't stand to see him sad, scared and upset like he was unless she caused it. In "Josh Runs into Oprah," she bakes Josh a birthday cake, which Josh believes is poisoned. Megan sincerely counters that she wouldn't give him something that would make him sick on his birthday. She didn't say it wouldn't explode. She also disapproves of eating orangutans. In "Josh is Done", Megan outright tells Drake that he's gone too far after witnessing Josh become so serious breaking up their friendship. | |

Out-Gambitted: Megan is extremely skilled at these. Whenever Drake and Josh seem to succeed in getting revenge on Megan, the complexity of her plans reverses the tide. Most notably in "Alien Invasion," where Drake and Josh manage to trick Megan in the majority of the episode that she had seen "real" aliens. They go as far as dressing up into alien costumes just to get revenge on Megan. However, as the brothers do a victory dance, a real alien shows up behind Drake and Josh, terrifying the brothers even more. It turns out the alien is one of Megan's friends who helped her reverse the prank. | |

The Punishment Is the Crime: In "Believe Me, Brother," Megan pulls a prank on Drake and Josh by splicing Drake's music video with embarrassing footage of him and Josh. However, she also accidentally adds in video evidence of Drake's girlfriend attempting to cheat on him with Josh, revealing that Josh had told the truth about her the entire time and that she had been trying to tear the two of them apart. As a result, the two of them are ultimately grateful that Megan's prank happened, so they don't tell on her, half because they're grateful, and half because the mere fact that her plan backfired and helped them is punishment enough for her. While Megan was surprised by this, she brushes it off, saying "there's always next time". | |

Rebound Best Friend: In one episode, Josh ends up befriending a kid named Drew after Drake is unable to attend a magic show with him. Drew ends up spending more time with Josh than Drake can, so Drake gets jealous and finds his own new best friend in Jerry. The rest of the episode is Drake and Josh blatantly trying to replace the other and fight over their new friends, with it becoming increasingly obvious that Drew and Jerry are identical to Drake and Josh in almost every way. In the end, they hug it out, and Drew and Jerry end up happy too- getting chosen as the stars of a new Show Within a Show, Drew And Jerry. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Drake & Josh / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Played with in "Peruvian Puff Pepper", Megan orders the eponymous condiment for her salsa which she will enter in a salsa-making contest where Drake and Josh are one of her rival competitors. This pepper "ensures" her victory in the contest. The brothers manage to steal the pepper from her, much to her anger from being unable to retrieve it from her denying brothers. When the brothers use the pepper for their salsa and win the contest, Megan asks them to reveal the "secret ingredient." It is then revealed that the pepper had adverse side effects and is illegal, thus disqualifying the brothers' salsa. Since Megan is in second place, she gets the first-prize plasma TV instead. When the brothers accuse her of intentionally letting it slip that she bought the pepper, knowing they'd steal it for themselves, she smugly brushes it off as paranoia. The best part, she unintentionally gets her "boob" brothers in even more trouble than earlier in the episode. Maybe more intentional in "Megan's Revenge", after Drake and Josh tell her that her pet hamster Herve died, she indirectly makes the boys scared that she will attempt horrific revenge on them... ...but she does nothing wrong to them the entire time. She says just seeing them being terrified of what she could do to them is "the best revenge there is." | |

Intentional Mess Making | |
| Drake & Josh / int_38dbef5 | comment |
Intentional Mess Making: In "Peruvian Puff Pepper", Megan wants to join Drake and Josh in the Salsa-Making contest. When they refuse, she gets revenge on them by placing some explosives into their salsa pot. Within a few minutes, the kitchen is covered in salsa, and Drake and Josh are not only blamed for the incident but forced to clean it up as well. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Drake & Josh / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In the opening for "The Wedding," Josh asks Drake if he hates Aunt Catherine, too, and the last line of the intro is Drake replied, "Totally!", Drake Bell's character Kyle's Catchphrase on The Amanda Show. A Running Gag on The Amanda Show was Penelope always getting Drake's name wrong. Now, Drake's on the other end of it, always getting Craig's and Eric's names wrong. When called out on their mistake, Drake and Penelope both respond with a sarcastic, "It matters." When Josh is hesitating to go through with the plan in "First Crush," Drake Dope Slaps him on the head, exactly like their biggest recurring roles as teenaged mobsters (Drake as lead mobster Tony Pajamas, Josh as his right-hand man slash lookout) on The Amanda Show. | |

At the end of the movie, Bludge arrives dressed as Santa to give everyone gifts, but gets stuck (proving the kids' point) and has to break down the wall the chimney is built into to get out. | |

Subverted in "The Battle of Panthatar." Drake gets an autographed Beatles album. After their friend Thornton uninvites him and Josh to his 16th birthday party because he catches Drake kissing his girlfriend, they decide to give him the album as a birthday present, much to Drake's reluctance, since he's a big Beatles fan. He says it's the best birthday present he's ever gotten, but he still doesn't re-invite them to the party. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Drake. One episode, in particular, involved Josh and Mindy working on a project and discovering they have feelings for each other, but after a short time together she breaks up with him because Josh didn't tell Drake about it since he hates Mindy. After learning about the whole ordeal, Drake is not only supportive of the relationship but actively helps Josh to get her back, saying if he likes the girl it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. And another reason why Drake would be willing to support his relationship with Mindy? Because he has been waiting for Josh to finally find a girl, showing he wants his step-brother to find someone special! | |

Informed Attractiveness | |
| Drake & Josh / int_4864031b | comment |
Informed Attractiveness. A bit zigzagged. While Drake is meant to be the better-looking Chick Magnet in comparison to Josh, this is played more straight in earlier seasons, when Josh was more of a chubby, goofy dork. However in later seasons, Josh not only loses a great deal of weight and becomes better-built, but he becomes more down-to-earth while retaining his lovably dorky personality. Despite this, he is somehow less lucky with girls than his brother Drake, who, while not bad-looking, is relatively shorter and scrawnier than his brother, and not only shows blatant irresponsibility several times, but a sharp decline in common sense as the series goes on. This trope actually goes explained over the series to how Drake is charismatic, smooth talking, and calm while Josh is easily-stressed, socially awkward, and emotional which turns off girls more easily. Drake's relationships are also stated to only last 3 weeks. | |

Humiliating Wager: Drake and Josh are addicted to eating junk food/playing video games, respectively, and each contractually makes a bet that they could go without their respective addictions longer than the other one, with their parents getting in on the betting action. The loser would have to die/dye...... their hair pink. Both Drake and Josh crack at the same moment, meaning they both lost (along with both parents), so all of them end up with pink hair. | |

Downer Ending: "Peruvian Puff Pepper," "The Wedding" (hilariously), "Tree House," and "Theater Thug." In fact, Most episodes contain downer endings, leaving very few that end on a high note for Drake & Josh — some of those being "Steered Straight" and "Dance Contest." Even the series finale doesn't end on the best of notes, the final scene being yet another fight between the boys. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Drake & Josh / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Drake and Josh inflict this upon themselves in "Megan's Revenge," which is a part of Megan's Paranoia Gambit scheme. Because Drake ate her big cookie, Megan dyes his hands and feet a sickly greenish color to trick him into thinking he has a rare skin disease called dermatameculitis, which can only be cured by painful injections or dipping the infected areas in lizard pee. Not only does Mr. Roland kick Josh out of class for being a minute latenote "If you are late in my class, you are not welcome in my class.", but he forces Josh to take a make-up exam on Saturday at 6 A.M. and will have his grades dropped because of it. Fortunately, Josh aces the make-up exam and Roland is impressed enough that he takes back the grade deduction. Officer Gilbert sabotages Drake and Josh in every way to make sure they obtain as many tickets as possible and ultimately end up in jail, all because his Christmas was ruined when he was eight by a chimpanzee; something Drake and Josh had nothing to do with. Mindy Crenshaw parked Mrs. Hafer's car in the middle of her classroom and framed Drake. Then she became the prosecutor on the trial and managed to not only almost convince everyone Drake did it, but also to humiliate Josh. The offense? Her grades were a perfect 4.0 until Mrs. Hayfer dared to give her a B. Oh, and she hates Drake and Josh. And she's nuts. Yeah, Dan Schneider is fond of this trope. | |

Hired on the Spot: In "Movie Job", after Josh accidentally makes an employee at The Premiere quit, he starts giving advice to moviegoers when they mistake him for an employee. Helen, impressed by this, asks him if he's looking for a job and if he's sane, hiring Josh immediately when he confirms both of her questions. In the same episode, Drake is hired even quicker, with Helen nonchalantly hiring him on the spot when Drake simply asks for a job. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Drake & Josh / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: In "The Gary Grill", two cops accuse Drake and Josh, high school students in California, of stealing a bunch of grills from New Jersey without even checking for alibis. They even mock them when they try to explain what actually happened. Fortunately, they do release them upon finding the real thieves. In "Theater Thug", the police arrest Josh when he gets mistaken for the titular crook, who was in plain sight. In "Vicious Tiberius", an animal control officer arrives at Mrs. Hayfer's house to take care of the titular Rottweiler. Once he actually comes across Tiberius, however, he flees and hides in the bathroom with Drake and Josh. In "Steered Straight", the cop is assigned to send Drake and Josh to jail but forgets to lock the car while pursuing a robber, allowing the robber to steal it. In the Christmas special, the police, once again, arrest Josh when he gets mistaken for one of the party crashers, even though he was the one who reported them. | |

Disrupting the Theater: In "Megan's First Kiss", Drake and Josh suspect that Megan is up to no good and decide to follow her to her rendezvous at a movie. To disguise themselves, they dress up in ridiculous costumes complete with top hats and beards, sit right behind Megan, and discover she's on a date. However, to prevent the boy from kissing her, they start shouting nonsense, stealing his popcorn, and climbing over the seats to sit with him. Helen and Crazy Steve stop the movie and come to kick them out for disturbing everyone, but what's worse, the boy dumps Megan over having crazy brothers. | |

This forces them to care for it in their bedroom and hide it from their parents, which gets worse when Baaaab escapes and wanders around the house while their parents are home. Eventually, Baaaab gives birth, and they have to keep the lamb secret as well. | |

In "Helicopter" a completely random person shows up during the Cold Open, apparently the result of him testing out his new webcam. They try to get him to leave, but the oblivious man says he's lonely, and eventually starts brushing his teeth, leading to the duo bailing. | |

Courtroom Episode: "Honor Council" has Drake being framed for somehow getting the English teacher, Mrs. Hayfer's car inside her classroom. So Josh defends Drake and has him attend an honor council to exonerate the latter. However, Mindy Crenshaw, Josh's rival, becomes the opponent to find whatever dirt she could use to convince the jury that Drake is guilty. She almost wins, until Josh shows her a copy of her report card showing that she got a B in Mrs. Hayfer's class, thus causing Mindy to retaliate by putting Mrs. Hayfer's car in the classroom and framing Drake for the crime, all for terminating her perfect 4.0-grade point average. | |

Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Pretty well balanced out with the two boys sliding a few things past their parents. But quite often it is Josh who bears the brunt of any punishment. This was a plot point of "Dune Buggy." Josh laments that Drake gets away with everything and that he gets away with nothing early on, and admits it again in the middle of the episode. | |

Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere: The entire plot of "The Bet." Drake and Josh bet that whoever caves in from their respective vices (eating junk food and playing video games) must dye his hair pink. Megan secretly suggested to each of them to sabotage the other to win. In their sadistic attempt for the other to cave in, Josh sets up their room into a Willy Wonka-style candy land while Drake plays Josh's Gamesphere right before his eyes. It ended up both of them caving in and losing the bet. But Drake manages to weasel out of it by wearing a wig. | |

"Tree House" centers around Drake and Josh trapped in a half-finished treehouse with no exit large enough for them to escape through. Megan, acting especially callous since she was forced to miss her friend's birthday party to help the brothers rebuild the treehouse they destroyed, refuses to help free them, instead engaging in activates such as grilling burgers to torture them with hunger and giving their dates away to Craig and Eric. | |

Megan went from just a typical mischievous younger sister occasionally pulling harmless pranks on her brothers to a sadistic demon child who believes she was put on Earth to make their lives miserable. Her "pranks" also went from just simple antics like putting a bucket of water over an open door to having a full arsenal of high-tech gadgets and weapons that would make most CIA operatives jealous. She also seemed to be willing to go to further extents to cause them misery; in one episode, the writers imply she was willing to put a whole crowd of people in danger of kidney failure just so she could beat Drake and Josh in a salsa contest. | |

Took a Level in Dumbass: Drake and Walter. At first, Walter was an everyday father but by the end of the show, he's a complete idiot. Easy to tell how hard he fell in intelligence when you compare the respect his family gave him in the first season compared to later episodes when his stupidity is constantly taken advantage of by his children. Drake also grew more stupid too, from an average teen to too dumb to say "fuselage" correctly. Both never seemed to make it to being Too Dumb to Live however, fortunately. See Flanderization. | |

Caught Up in a Robbery: In the season 3 episode, "Theater Thug," the eponymous robber is going around and robbing local movie theaters. Naturally by the episode's end, he hits up the theater Josh works at while Josh closes for the day. When the cops quickly arrive on the scene, the robber tries to take Josh hostage but Drake, who was using the bathroom, sneaks up on him and hits him, allowing Josh to pin the robber down and capture him. However, when Drake sends the cops in, they arrest Josh thinking he's the Theater Thug because Josh portrayed him in a televised dramatization earlier that episode. | |

Opposites Attract: The heroes have opposite personalities and complain about each other constantly, but when given the chance to find new friends in "Drew and Jerry," each of them still picks someone who is his exact opposite! While Drew and Jerry eventually leave to make a tv show together, at no point is anyone interested in befriending his doppelganger. No matter how much Drake may think of Josh as an annoying nerd or how much Josh hates Drake's crazy schemes and the trouble they cause, they're drawn to each other because of their differences. | |

Weasel Co-Worker | |
| Drake & Josh / int_715f9556 | comment |
Weasel Coworker: Drake in "Movie Job." Drake is utterly useless at stacking candy, a complete slob, eats popcorn he's supposed to be selling, and is overall just useless. However, he's incredibly charming, and beloved by boss Helen, to the point he's instantly promoted (while Helen is unaware of diligent worker Josh's existence). In the end, Drake takes the blame for a publicity idea gone wrong Josh cooks up, and Helen reluctantly fires him, while she "hires" Josh to replace him now aware he exists. Notably, while Drake no longer works for Helen, her preference for him over Josh lasts the entire series. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Drake & Josh / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Rather balanced between the eponymous duo. Josh first does this to Drake in "Dune Buggy." It's one of the few completely non-comical scenes in the whole show. And again in "Girl Power" which also manages to convince the Crenshaws to allow Josh and Mindy to continue dating. Inverted in "Josh Is Done" where Drake gives on to Josh about himself. And Drake delivers one to Josh again in "The Big Shrimp." | |

On the other hand, Josh's status as the Chew Toy/Butt-Monkey/Cosmic Plaything was gradually dropped as Josh Peck himself lost a lot of weight and they couldn't use the same "fat people are funny" gag. And he eventually got a hot girlfriend, Mindy, and was not too much different from Drake in terms of social standing and popularity. "Josh is Done" is a huge episode in that regard as Josh cuts Drake out of his life after being screwed over one too many times and manages better without him, while Drake's world falls apart without Josh taking care of him. | |

Parental Bonus: Carly really flips out at Drake when she finds out he "dated" her after making a bet with Josh, assuming Drake lied to her about how strong his feelings were for her just so he could "date" her. To a kid, her outrage and initial refusal to hear him out at all come across as a typical over-the-top Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure combined with Liar Revealed, treating Drake (supposedly falsely) telling her he liked her as a Felony Misdemeanor. To an adult, however, Carly's indignation makes perfect sense... if what Drake told her resulted in them having sex. | |

When the tests were over Josh passed because he answered every question and did everything right while Drake failed because he violated numerous driving laws on his "date." What initially started as Drake's Born Lucky versus Josh's Butt-Monkey was reversed in an instant. | |

Artistic License – Education: In "Megan's New Teacher", Josh becomes a student-teacher for Megan's 5th-grade class and he makes them work from college textbooks, and the work is so difficult that even the kids' parents can't do it. There are no complaints made to the school about this at all despite the parents knowing about it. In "Josh is Done", Josh ends up missing his chemistry exam due to him running late for class and Mr. Roland not allowing tardy students to enter. While teachers can have rules and punishments for tardiness for students, many school policies do not allow teachers to kick students out of the classroom for being tardy. Furthermore, Mr. Roland has Josh take the make-up chemistry exam on a Saturday at six in the morning, which teachers are also not allowed to do because schools are typically not open on weekends or as early as six A.M., and drops his grade by a whole letter, which is a rather severe punishment for being late to class. He does rescind the last part after Josh gets a perfect score on the make-up exam, but still. | |

| Drake & Josh / int_9f39630a | comment |
Laborious Laziness: Subverted in the cold open of "We're Married". Drake calls Josh pretending to be a cop ordering Josh to bring Drake a soda. Josh naturally doesn't buy it an blows a whistle over the phone. Drake goes down to get a soda, at which point Walter calls Josh and Josh threatens him thinking it's Drake again. Despite Walter saying who it is, Josh still think it's Drake doing a perfect imitation and insults him. Josh wonders why Drake is putting more effort into getting someone to get him a soda than it would take to go down and get one. Right on cue, he sees Drake sitting next to him, soda in hand, and Josh realizes what he did. | |

Early Personality Signs | |
| Drake & Josh / int_a1a46946 | comment |
Early Personality Signs: One episode has the titular stepbrothers realize that when they were younger, the two had gotten in a fight over a foam finger at a baseball game. Both of them believe the other started the fight. Eventually, the vendor who sold them the finger is brought in to resolve the dispute. The vendor reveals that it was Megan, who was a toddler at this point, who instigated the fight by throwing a cookie at Josh, who naturally assumed Drake had done it. This foreshadows Megan's later role as a troublemaker who likes to antagonize her two brothers. | |

Commitment Issues | |
| Drake & Josh / int_a5b12e14 | comment |
Commitment Issues: Drake goes through a different Girl of the Week every episode (sometimes he'll go through multiple girls in the same episode). He's been shown to be afraid of being steady for too long and will often get bored with his current girlfriend very quickly (possibly the only exception is Carly, the record store worker, and even she disappears eventually). When his brother is struggling with The "I Love You" Stigma and asks him for advice, Drake's immediate response is that saying I love you is a trap. | |

Amicable Exes | |
| Drake & Josh / int_a681bfc6 | comment |
Amicable Exes: A major plot point of "The Storm" is how Drake manages to stay on friendly terms with multiple exes. This is most likely because, as shown in "Playing the Field," he's careful never to imply he wants more than a casual fling and is always open about that rather than lying to get what he wants from girls — he's a serial dater but not a serial ladykiller. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| Drake & Josh / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Drake will never have a girlfriend for more than an episode (unless one counts Carly, but even then only for two), despite multiple episodes dedicated to him trying to learn how to woo a particular girl he likes. On the other hand, Josh's status as the Chew Toy/Butt-Monkey/Cosmic Plaything was gradually dropped as Josh Peck himself lost a lot of weight and they couldn't use the same "fat people are funny" gag. And he eventually got a hot girlfriend, Mindy, and was not too much different from Drake in terms of social standing and popularity. "Josh is Done" is a huge episode in that regard as Josh cuts Drake out of his life after being screwed over one too many times and manages better without him, while Drake's world falls apart without Josh taking care of him. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Drake & Josh / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Both Parker siblings. In terms of wrongdoings, Drake is rarely caught (as lampshaded by Josh in "Dune Buggy"), while Megan is never caught. The theater thug is also this, due to everybody thinking Josh is the theater thug and beating him up. At the end of the episode the real thug shows up, but gets knocked out. When the police arrive, they arrest Josh thinking he's the thug, while the real one gets away. The police and other folks are this as well since they're also never seen punished for thinking he's the thug and letting the real bad guy get away. When Drake and Josh expose a kid cheating on Megan by bringing his other girlfriend, both girls break up with him. The brothers planned on teaching them a lesson. It was revealed back home, based on the injuries they've received, that the kid had taken martial arts classes. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Drake & Josh / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: The audience can see that Drake can shove candy in his mouth a few seconds before Josh gets his hands on the game controller in the climax of "The Bet," meaning Drake technically caved first and lost, but the boys were in a frenzy of withdrawal, not paying attention, and each sincerely insists the other caved first. Megan makes it a moot point by explaining how the word "first" is conspicuously missing from the conditions of the contract she wrote, so they both lose regardless of any theoretical gap between them. | |

Fake a Fight: In "Steered Straight", Drake and Josh's parents hire some cops to pretend to convict them to teach them a lesson after they get busted for using fake IDs to enter a prestigious nightclub. However, Blaze, a criminal on the run, hijacks the police car, forcing the duo to help him and his crew rob their own home. Eventually, the pair decide to drive the goons away by pretending to get into a bloody fistfight over the specifics of a plan to kidnap the governor of California. It works. | |

"Inside-Out Burger" is a parody of the burger chain In-N-Out Burger. | |

Teacher's Unfavorite Student: The titular brothers have Mrs. Hayfer as their English teacher. While Mrs. Hayfer generally likes Josh, she utterly despises Drake for being lazy, rude, and not being good at his studies. The feeling is mutual on Drake's part, who thinks that Mrs. Hayfer disproportionately hates him as shown when Drake correctly answers a question, only for Mrs. Hayfer to call him wrong and immediately call another student right when he answers the exact same question and later immediately accuse Drake for being the one to park her car in her classroom, which Drake didn't do. Drake's hatred for Mrs. Hayfer is such that in a later episode, he excitedly asks if she died. | |

The Bet: The episode "The Bet" had Drake and Josh betting they could quit their bad habits longer than the other. In this case, Drake's addiction to junk food and Josh's addiction to video games. The episode also has their parents making a bet on which boy would cave in first: Audrey bets Josh would win, and Walter bets Drake would win. Because they both cave, the entire family except Megan has to dye their hair pink, though Drake decides to wear a pink wig. In another episode Drake and Josh bet who can get more dates in a week. Drake ends up falling in love with the first girl he meets. Their relationship temporarily ended when Drake forgets to call off the bet, breaking the girl's trust in the process. Drake goes to great lengths to win back her trust through honesty and succeeds. While Josh wins the bet, still do not know Drake gave up a long time ago. | |

Hypocritical Humor: One notable example is in the episode "Dr. Phyllis Show," where Drake and Josh both appear on the said fictional show (a parody of Dr. Phil) as the subjects for "bickering brothers." At one point, Dr. Phyllis scolds Drake and Josh having to resort to physical confrontations as she doesn't seem to tolerate it. However, she later instigates a physical fight with them for insulting Liza Tupper, who just happens to be her daughter. In "Steered Straight," Walter became Audrey's mannequin for a huge girl's prom dress, making him the subject of ridicule throughout the scene. | |

But the CEO said the original song was a massive hit, breaking their servers, and ended up firing the producer who tried to manipulate a hit song. | |

Hard Truth Aesop: "Megan's New Teacher" has the lesson just because you're passionate about something, doesn't mean you're cut out for it. Despite Josh's academic inclination, and desire to teach the future generation, his poor skills with children show that's not the career he's destined for. | |

Just Fine Without You: In "Josh Is Done," Josh decides to stop having anything to do with Drake. Drake figures Josh can't get by without him, but it turns out that Josh gets by fine on his own and Drake needs Josh more than the other way around as while Josh has a good life, Drake gradually breaks down. | |

Let There Be Snow | |

Let There Be Snow: Subverted in the Christmas special. A little girl wishes for snow at Christmas in her tropical home and Drake and Josh try to deliver this via a wood chipper. It wasn't working until "Crazy Steve" loaded it up with hard cheese instead of Drake and Josh's original plan, ice, which didn't go too well for them - smashing windows and causing other massive property damage, one id even describing it as a drive-by. | |

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
| Drake & Josh / int_c1cef253 | comment |
Nice Mean And In Between. Josh, Megan, and Drake. Josh is the nicest one of the trio, being the most responsible and polite most of the time. Megan is the mean one, as she enjoys making her brothers' lives miserable for no reason at all and is evil. This leaves Drake as the in-between, as while he can be a jerk at times and hardly gives Josh much respect, he still shows many Pet the Dog moments to show he's a caring brother to Josh and has much more redeeming qualities than his little sister. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Drake & Josh / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The duo's last names (Parker and Nichols) are two intersecting streets in Massachusetts. The bakery beside The Premiere is named Schneider's Bakery, based on Dan Schneider's own TV production company. Belleview High School is based in Bellevue High School in Washington. The hippie costume Josh wears as a disguise refers to the character Antoine from All That. He even says "What it is" in the same fashion, and even when interrogated claims his name is Antoine. In "Helen's Surgery" it is revealed that Helen was on the show Happy Times, a shout out to Happy Days, What's Happening!! and Good Times. In Really Big Shrimp, one of the "Now Showing" movies in the Premiere Galleria is titled Now She's Carly, a blatant call on Miranda's upcoming show iCarly. The last scene in "Really Big Shrimp" involved Drake and Josh fighting over a shrimp that fell on the floor, which is a deja-vu scene between the same actors in one skit of The Amanda Show. The episode "I Love Sushi" contains a scene directly mimicking a similar scene in the I Love Lucy episode Job Switching. The title of the episode is no coincidence. The sushi company is even called "Ball and Vance Corp." Dan Schneider's wife's cooking show titled Hungry Girl is featured on the marquee of the movie theater. One episode opens with Drake and Josh reminiscing on an old gym teacher... named Bilbo. And later on, the debate on whether Clay Aiken or Frodo would win in a slap fight. In the Merry Christmas Drake and Josh TV Movie, Crazy Steve arrives at the Christmas parade in a DeLorean, the music sounding similar to the Back to the Future theme when he opens the door and climbs out. And when he leaves, the license plate (reading "CRAZY 1") falls off and spins on the spot, just like in the movie. One episode has Drake blackmail Josh into pretending to be his valet. He starts calling Josh "Jives." | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Drake & Josh / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Officer Gilbert's excuse for wanting to keep Drake and Josh from satisfying Mary Alice and her foster family is due to an incident he had when he got a chimpanzee for Christmas as he wanted, but then it destroyed their tree and presents and escaped. He hated Christmas ever since. As Josh points out in the letter, the chimpanzee was an adult and too much for the then young Gilbert to handle. The one Drake and Josh send him is a baby and is much more passive. | |

Unexpected Kindness | |

Unexpected Kindness: During "Josh Runs Over Oprah", it's Josh's birthday, and Drake completely forgot. When Josh sadly goes downstairs, he's greeted by Megan, who cheerfully wishes him a happy birthday and presents him with a cake. Suspiciously, he asks if the cake is poisoned, knowing her usual schemes. She seems genuinely surprised that he'd think she'd do that on his birthday, leading him to believe her as he blows out the candles. Then it explodes in his face, because she never said it wouldn't do that. | |

Blame the Paramour: In "Battle For Panthatar", Drake accidentally hooked up with his friend Thornton's girlfriend without knowing who she was, with the girl herself being totally complacent, just before the night of Thornton's awesome birthday party. However, Thornton's anger is mostly directed at Drake, causing him to become Uninvited to the Party (and Josh too, by proxy). Drake tries to jump through several hoops to make it up to Thornton, but when none of them work, he and Josh crash the party just to get his signed Abbey Road album back. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| Drake & Josh / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Audrey and Walter are nigh oblivious about Megan's regular torment of her brothers, no matter how hard they try and prove it. "Believe Me, Brother." Drake's girlfriend Susan is continuously hitting on Josh while framing up Josh for hitting on her. It was due to an accidental camera recording on Drake's band project that Drake learned the truth. Same with "Eric Punches Drake." Eric plays along with the rumors that he punched Drake for insulting his sister (instead of just accidentally), elevating him to cool guy status. Feeling abandoned, his Heterosexual Life Partner Craig reveals Eric's weak point for Drake to exploit. In "Honor Council", Drake is accused of stealing Mrs. Hayfer's car and putting it in her classroom, very few people believe Drake is innocent. Even Walter and Audrey don't believe him due to his past shenanigans. | |

Failed Attempt at Drama: When Drake and Josh argue, Josh trips on his way out of the room.

Drake and Josh watch a scene of the Drew and Jerry Show, and in it, the Jerry character says "I may have stumbled, but that does not lessen the significance of this departure!" This prompts Josh to wonder why they made Jerry such a dork, only to realize the reason and hang his head in shame. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: The two driving instructors in "Driver's License" turn out to be this as part of a Bait-and-Switch, with both providing fair assessments despite making no attempt to hide their biases. Josh's instructor gives him a license and says he's an excellent driver in spite of openly admitting to hating all teenagers on principle. Drake's instructor denies him a license because he is a terrible driver, even though she's just as smitten with him as almost every other woman on the show. | |

This results in him getting beaten up and arrested repeatedly, to the point where he's in the same theater as the actual Theater Thug and is beaten up and arrested while the real guy makes off with the theater's money. | |

In the Merry Christmas Drake and Josh TV Movie, Crazy Steve arrives at the Christmas parade in a DeLorean, the music sounding similar to the Back to the Future theme when he opens the door and climbs out. And when he leaves, the license plate (reading "CRAZY 1") falls off and spins on the spot, just like in the movie. | |

Doomed Autographed Item | |
| Drake & Josh / int_e1a5ee24 | comment |
Doomed Autographed Item: Done with Drake's new autographed guitar. Josh plugs it into an amp for all of five seconds before the guitar bursts into flames. He spends all his money on a brand new guitar and then has to go and track down the guitarist that signed it- at a concert Drake happens to be backstage at, causing a lot of hilarity to ensue. Drake, however, is just happy that Josh went through all that effort for him. | |

Flanderization | |
| Drake & Josh / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Drake just got dumber and dumber as the show progressed. At the start of the series, he was a teenager who admittedly wasn't too bright, but wasn't too dumb either. Eventually, it got to the point where he couldn't pronounce the word 'America'. As in, the country he lives in. Josh became de-flanderized as the show progressed. Initially, he was a weird and awkward fat kid. As the show progressed and his career took off, his character became much more down-to-earth, though he still has his moments of being socially awkward. Megan went from just a typical mischievous younger sister occasionally pulling harmless pranks on her brothers to a sadistic demon child who believes she was put on Earth to make their lives miserable. Her "pranks" also went from just simple antics like putting a bucket of water over an open door to having a full arsenal of high-tech gadgets and weapons that would make most CIA operatives jealous. She also seemed to be willing to go to further extents to cause them misery; in one episode, the writers imply she was willing to put a whole crowd of people in danger of kidney failure just so she could beat Drake and Josh in a salsa contest. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Drake & Josh / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Susan from the episode "Believe Me Brother" was Drake's girlfriend. She flirted with Josh whenever nobody was around and even kissed him, and when Drake showed up she acted like Josh was the one doing it all, driving a wedge between the brothers. Then when she was finally caught and Drake dumped her, she didn't even apologize, only saying that she couldn't help it if she was attracted to both of them, but now she wouldn't date either of them. Thornton from the episode "The Battle of Panthatar" served as such; uninviting Drake and Josh to his 16th birthday party simply because Drake unknowingly kissed his girlfriend at the premiere, and even when the two give Thornton their autographed Abbey Road album, in which he considers "the best present he's ever gotten", he still refuses to let them inside. Unlike other antagonists in the series, his Jerkass attitude towards the duo isn't Played for Laughs. His humiliation from the hands of the duo and Drake successfully retrieving his album away from him was certainly well-deserved. Corey from the episode "Megan's First Kiss". He blackmails Drake and Josh into giving him their clock, guitar, and the pants on their legs in exchange for staying with Megan after he breaks up with her at first. Then it's revealed that he was cheating on her all along with another girl, and he tries to weasel his way out of it when the brothers reveal his infidelity to Megan. It was so bad that the brothers finally tried to beat him up and then got their asses kicked because he knew kungfu. Heck, even Megan herself got some humanization in that episode by kissing Drake and Josh while saying she loves them in the end. Hewitt from the episode "Blues Brothers". His arrogant attitude towards Drake and sabotaging Drake in the talent show by stealing the song he was going to use despite proving plenty capable of performing well earlier just serves to make Josh's comeback to save Drake in the talent show all the more satisfying. | |

Artistic License – Music: Humorously averted when Megan strums Drake's brand new autographed Stratocaster for it to make only a quiet sound to her confusion. Josh then demonstrates that it needs to be plugged into an amp for it to sound right. Said amp bursts into flames when turned on, while somehow causing the guitar to burst into flames as well. | |

Magic Realism | |

Magic Realism: The effects of the "lucky shirt" in "Mean Teacher" are too extreme and too perfectly timed to be explained away as coincidence. The boys accept its magic as real and (successfully) plan how to use its magic to solve the problems of the episode. It's lost once the plot is resolved to prevent it from becoming a Story-Breaker Power, and no supernatural elements appear in the show before or after. | |

Exact Words: In "The Bet," Drake and Josh make a bet to see who caves into their vice first. Megan writes up a contract for the bet. In the end, they both end up losing because the contract only says that the loser is whoever caves, not whoever caves first. The parents also had a contract betting against their sons, also written up by Megan. Since both boys lost, both parents also lost. One Cold Open has Drake and Josh in a competition to see who could drink the most cups of coffee. Josh eventually gets too hyper from all the caffeine and passes out, while Drake remains completely fine because they never said that decaf coffee wasn't allowed. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: In the episode "Dance Contest", Drake and Josh each go through the winger; Josh gets his original dance partner stolen by Drake, and gets abused by his new dance partner, and Drake learns he's at risk of being held back in the 11th grade because he hasn't shown up for gym class for several months and he has to win the dance contest for extra credit to compensate for the gym class absences. What's even worse? On the day of the competition, both of Drake and Josh's dance partners are disqualified after a brief fistfight, and they're on the verge of giving up and going home...until Drake gets a last-minute idea to partner up with Josh for the dance contest. It was a huge long shot, but Drake and Josh ultimately win the dance contest together, Drake gets to move on to the next grade and Josh gets extra credit to one-up Mindy. | |

In the episode "Driver's License," when Megan overhears Josh saying that Drake's saving his butt (paying for Josh's ticket after Josh ran a stop sign) Megan says that she'll find out what it is. Two seasons later in the episode "Steered Straight," Megan reveals she found out and brings up how Drake and Josh got a speeding ticket, to the shock of Audrey and Walter. | |

| Drake & Josh / int_ff892c21 | comment |
Thornton from the episode "The Battle of Panthatar" served as such; uninviting Drake and Josh to his 16th birthday party simply because Drake unknowingly kissed his girlfriend at the premiere, and even when the two give Thornton their autographed Abbey Road album, in which he considers "the best present he's ever gotten", he still refuses to let them inside. Unlike other antagonists in the series, his Jerkass attitude towards the duo isn't Played for Laughs. His humiliation from the hands of the duo and Drake successfully retrieving his album away from him was certainly well-deserved. | |
