Jessie: Difference between revisions

Not to be confused with ''Jesse'', the short-lived NBC show starring Christina Applegate.

----

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Jessie's father is in the military, so was [[Debby Ryan]]'s father.

* [[Affably Evil]]: Dale Davenport, the bully at the kids' school. Very mean and tough, but requests healthy snacks for himself and his victims.

* [[Agony of the Feet]]: In an unusual reversed example, a little person store detective undercover as one of Santa's Helpers kicks Luke, causing him to hop on one foot.

* [[Alliterative Name]]: Dale Davenport the school bully.

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Whenever Ravi ends up angrily shouting in Hindi. He also has some Hindi writing on his bedroom door.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Mrs. Chesterfield always calls Zuri "strange little girl."

* [[Cheerful Child]]: Zuri and Ravi.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Zuri.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Jessie tends to act as this for Emma

* [[Creepy Child]]:

** Zuri is this [[In-Universe]], according to the landlady.

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: One of the ways they're [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].

* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Jessie knows a few military moves that she shows when she subdues Emma's punk boyfriend

* [[The Danza]]: Christina Ross is played Christina Moore.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: A lot of characters are shaping up to be this, especially Bertram, but Emma pulls off a rather hilarious example of snark in episode two:

'''Emma:''' Wow Luke, you're 0 for 2. }}

* [[The Ditz]]: Tony.

* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Tony, and to an extent, Luke.

* [[Dope Slap]]: Mr. Kipling does this to Ravi, Luke and Emma with his tail when they fail to realize that he could be the pet for their cool pet viral video.

* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Jessie starts out like this, but she softens up by the end of the first episode.

* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Debby Ryan dyed her hair auburn for this role.

* [[Fat Bastard]]: Bertram.

* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Actually avoided, while Ravi does act foreign, most of his jokes aren't ethnicity based.

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Emma is pretty smart, and actually does well in school, but still acts pretty goofy.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Emma makes Jessie's "a salt" joke into one of these by pointing out how Tony's laughing at it was fake and that it wasn't really that funny.

* [[Insult to Rocks]]:

'''Bertram:''' That's an insult to wolverines, At least they occasionally lick themselves clean! }}

* [[Jerkass]]: Luke

* [[Latin Lover]]: Again, Luke. At least he tries to be.

* [[Motorcycle Jousting]]

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: It's pretty obvious that the Rosses are a parody of the [[Angelina Jolie]]-[[Brad Pitt]] family.

* [[Pluto Is Expendable]]: In the pilot Jessie is carrying Emma's model of the solar system (her science fair project), she trips and destroys the model. During the judging of the science fair Emma wins, because Pluto falls off right before and the judges like that she remembered that Pluto is no longer a planet.

* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: Mr. Kipling, until you get to know him.

* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Ravi and Luke.

* [[Servile Snarker]]: Bertram.

* [[Ship Tease]]: Jessie with Luke and/or Tony.

** Luke's huge crush on Jessie is reminiscent of the Zack-Maddie pairing from ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]''.

** Creepy Connie tears apart Luke's stuffed animal [[They Killed Kenny|Kenny the Koala]]. Luke's reaction upon discovering this? "[[South Park|They Killed Kenny!]]"

** Ravi calls a jar of hot peppers he is carrying in the park "hotter than [[Selena Gomez]]".

*** He later states that they are one of the hottest peppers in the world. Which further explains the comparison.

** In the same episode, Mrs. Chesterfield says the peppers are hotter than Anderson Cooper.

* [[Sitcom Villain]]: Agatha is shaping up to be this.

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''[[The Nanny]]'', due to the fact (like Fran Fine in that series) the main character is hired as the nanny to a wealthy family through pure happenstance; coincidentally, ''Jessie'' creator/executive producer Pamela Eells O'Connell was one of the original writers for ''The Nanny''.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]:

'''Tony:''' Whatever it is, it does not have to do with a giant lizard. }}

** While Jessie is talking to Creepy Connie, she accidentally reveals that Luke sleeps with a stuffed animal.

* [[Take That]]:

** In the episode "Star Wars", when Jessie and Jordan are hounded by the paparazzi, she says "... that they might not be after him, there is girl downstairs that looks like Justin Bieber." YMMV on whether its a true [[Take That]] or [[Played for Laughs]], but his fans sure thought so.
