So Random! (2011-2012) is a Sketch Comedy series on the Disney Channel. Only lasted one season. Technically, the third season of what once was Sonny with a Chance. In that show, So Random was a Show Within a Show that the characters were stars on and snippets would be shown in between the off-set plots.However, Demi Lovato, who played Sonny, refused to reprise their role after the second season in order to focus on their musical career and resolve some personal issues. The show was retooled and defictionalized into its own show, losing the backstage plots and becoming a full-fledged Sketch Comedy show complete with special and musical guests.The entire series is now on Disney+.

Mad Libs Catchphrase: "Don't mean to brag, but Insert Failure Here. Hollah!" The Simple Country Boy has "Aint nothin' but a (Insert complicated metaphor here)" when someone thanks him for something. Tawni's character says this to Angus in every sketch: "Oh Angus, you know (insert whatever he's doing in the sketch) drives me CRAZY!!!" Mr. Goodman will occasionally shout out the name of a food and then smash into something.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 So Random! / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Sonny's disappearance. In the premiere episode, none of the cast mention Sonny nor ever said of what happened to her. Chad immediately took her place as the new Random without explanation and he doesn't mention Sonny, either. Even Chad and Sonny's yet-to-be rekindled relationship hasn't been spoken about again after the Retool. It was never made clear if the Randoms and the Falls have made peace with each other since Chad is now the new cast member. The Tony Hawk episode sees Chad plug Mackenzie Falls in the opening, so he's clearly still on that show. Marshall doesn't appear in the spin-off and his whereabouts were never commented on, either.

Take That! One sketch has Fred, Taylor Swift and Willow Smith participate in a game show, but no one can actually play because Taylor keeps singing all her answers to the tune of the pre-chorus of her song "You Belong With Me", Willow keeps flipping her weave and saying repeating everything she says at least twice, and Fred is too busy being... Well, Fred. The show itself seems like a parody of SNL Celebrity Jeopardy. Another sketch has Harry Potter struggling to understand "the real world". Even though he spent 11 years there and then some.
