I kinda like that. It's maybe not intentional but shows that despite objectively neglecting his daughter it's not his intent solely. He is proud of her and does want to be there for her but in context of the show his failed past romantic relationships with exwives, busy business endeavors, and a pattern of trying to overcompensate his lack of spending time with her by instead buying her gifts I feel makes him a better character. He's very flawed. It seems with his exwives he buys gifts and woos them but he neglects them too and it turns into Mr Tipton and his ex wives despising each other due to him unable to spend quality time with them. As seen in the commercial and boutique ep he even tries to parent London but again his pattern of neglect to focus on business endeavors ends up him just being a bad dad.

YES! Joey from Liv & Maddie just did an interview abt this he said “They have a deal with, I don't know if it's the unions or the AMPTP, but they had a deal where the first three seasons of a show, you get paid 88% of scale. So it's 88% of like minimum wage, pretty much, for the crew, and then the idea is, you work on a show, it becomes popular, you go four, five, six seasons, and you get 100%, or whatever that is. But then, they, by the third season, even if the show's popular, they reboot it as a brand new show. So, we were Liv and Maddie for the first three seasons, and the last season was Liv and Maddie: Cali Style." And it's technically a 'new show' so they can go back to paying you crap but it's in our contracts that we can't renegotiate unless everybody decides to renegotiate."

From the season 2 food critic episode, the Chinese guy is actually speaking Taishan/Toisan/Hoisan dialect (which is similar to Cantonese). It's the dialect of the early Chinese migrants to the West Coast. I speak the dialect, and I'll try to translate what he says, but some of it is difficult to understand cause of the way he speaks and my ability to translate it into English. "Since I was 12 years old, I've never shaved/cut my beard!" (he says it weirdly but i think it lines up with the way other American born taishanese people speak) "aiyaaaa!" Zack's dialogue then the Chinese guy basically curses them out (the phrase is a common thing said when you're angry and cursing someone out, but i dont know what the English translation for it is) to the best of my ability, he says "(unknown translation of way of dying) die the two of you" The way he delivers the lines in Taishanese is a bit awkward now that I'm actually listening to what he's saying. I never noticed that he was matching the English vibe rather than how it would actually sound in the language. Especially with the cursing of the twins line. The way he emphasizes each of the words doesn't really convey anger to me, and reminds me more of a 10-year-old me imitating what my parents said to my sister when I was trying to express anger.

Having the Finnish nun's names be Huuskonenen is so funny to me, because Huuskonen would be a fairly standard name, but some writer went the extra mile and decided to make a pun that almost nobody would get. A large majority of Finnish last names end in -nen, so somebody decided to look up "Finnish names", noticed a pattern, and decided to run with it. Somewhat similar to seeing a character named John Smithith or Erik Larssonson representing England or a Scandinavian country respectively.

I'm curious if the reason older shows had more named speaking characters is because of changes with Union protections. Like, maybe the increased rate for named background characters is semi-recent and back then they were able to get away with paying them less. I have no clue tho, just a guess

[@zoeg5304]

I totally agree! I wish those types of stats were more transparent. I feel like it’s just as likely that production studios realized that they could save money by having non-speaking background characters and reduced lines on non-main characters just to cut costs and increase profits because they knew they could. Even though most young children prob won’t notice, I think it really adds to the rewatch-ability to earlier disney Channel shows compared to modern children’s media

[@Thed538dhsk]

Or it could be that Disney channel got more $ back then for content vs later on when clearly the channel seemed to hit its peak in terms of growth and streaming has been a bigger priority. At this time when these eps aired maybe it was part of the parent company Disney's model to invest more in these shows and keep growing viewership for children viewers after earlier success with shows like even stevens and Lizzie Maguire with inital fast growth. Hit a plateau and they started reducing budgets? Compare shows like victorious or later live action shows to drake and Josh. I feel it was common to have more interesting side characters at this time across networks. Remember when cartoon network had live action shows. Weird time

I very distinctly remember the dyslexia episode, I personally always had beef with it because while struggling to read is the most well known symptom, it's not a requirement and that stereotype is what prevented me from getting a diagnosis until middle school. I liked to read, so the spelling, grammar and other symptoms were written off as lazyness. So I genuinely was really upset that the episode used "you can read" as the way to catch Zack's lie, it felt like my friends were going to see that episode and decide I too was faking, and watching this video I still felt that fear for a split second even all these years later, so in a way I'm glad they pulled it

Literally just what I needed, a SUPER LONG analysis video that will keep me enthralled and able to eat along with!

[@DiademAce]

Enough for gaming and eating😂

[@skarloey1214]

Long? It isn't even 5 hours

[@Xblackjckqueen]

‘besides i’m not sharing a bed with you’ ‘but we’re friends!’ ‘we are siblings!’ i know it’s not a bit but that was funny as hell, this is slowly becoming one of my favourite deep dives, keep them coming please !!!

[@pristiq946]

At 39:30 when Zack wakes Cody up and he immediately asks if they're moving again, I thought that Carrie had previously been in some abusive relationships after the divorce from Kurt necessitating frequent late night escapes. I think it would explain some of the kids behavior of finally being around adults who are strict but care versus prior abusive adults.

[@nutella7644]

I was thinking more like their mom didn't have a stable place for them to live (renting around cheap places, etc) until they found the hotel since their dad seems okay, both of these ideas are sad realities for kids of divorce parents so i think its possible but yea :(

[@ECKohns]

At one point Disney considered making a Spin Off focusing on Arwin. And even shot a pilot with Brian Stepanik and Selena Gomez as his niece. And considering that Selena Gomez plays a character in the “Midsummer Nights Dream” episode of Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and Mikaela on Hannah Montana, and the fact that Suite Life, Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place all take place in the same universe, Selena Gomez would have like, 4 doppelgängers in this universe.

[@joshc5613]

Into the Selena-verse

[@mariajimenafigueroa233]

I feel Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana missed an opportunity to make a joke about it. When Zack meets Alex, he could had said: You remind me of someone, do we met before?

[@joshhale9355]

Suite Life was necessary viewing in my house. Every character was fully developed, it wasn’t weird when a side character like Arwin or Esteban got their own episode like in other shows because they were just as important to the cast as Zack or Cody. It was just a refreshing watch, even my parents were cool with watching it (my dad thought Moseby was really funny actually). I still laugh at so many of the jokes in the show, especially when the boys were with Moseby, just a classic grouping on screen. Easily my favorite of any Disney sitcoms, by a massive margin.

[@lysmoriarty6818]

honestly the kid who played bob was such an excellent comedic actor. his delivery in the clips made me laugh out loud all these years later. underrated king

[@Murhuedur]

When I was like 6 I had a nightmare where Arwin came into the lobby with a bucket and began laying eggs into it and screaming in pain. It's still one of the scariest nightmares I've ever had to this day

[@tonoornottono]

i’ll reply to this comment just so you know somebody did read this. it is revealing of your mind.

[@bellalincoln6552]

Iconic nightmare haha

[@bellalincoln6552]

(actual haha in case it read as sarcastic, I am genuinely morbidly intrigued by Arwin laying eggs)

[@elinaw6175]

I feel like this comment should have come with a trigger warning, I don't know for what, just just in general

[@finn4531]

The forbidden lost episode creepypasta

[@octodaddy1602]

I contend to this day that the "mom said not to run with scissors" line at 3:10:30 is one of if not the best jokes in z&c, regardless of the awfulness of the scene as a whole

[@oommuhh]

perhaps the hotel doesnt cost $2000 a night but Mr. Moseby was insinuating that guests at the Tipton were the type of people to spend $2000 a day

[@AeonKnigh432]

I like both Zack and Cody being a bit sneaky in the pilot, and I like London being a bit smarter and more mischievous. It just adds more opportunity for shenanigans to happen, which is fun.

[@Lisa_Flowers]

I think it makes all the characters too similar and doesn't create enough contrast, which is probably why they changed it. Like yeah you get more opportunities for shenanigans but there's less you can do from that point onward because the characters are similar enough that their reactions and choices would be the same. Like 'what if we wrote a show about a sneaky and mischievous kid, and his sneaky and mischievous twin, and the sneaky and mischievous daughter of the hotel owner?'. Then Maddie and Mosbey would be the only straight man/responsible one. It wouldn't work as well for A and B plots either because usually Zach and Cody are contained to themselves and maybe one or two other characters so there wouldn't be enough conflict between them as siblings and they'd essentially just be the same person. I think it works better if they have distinct characters with distinct goals, and even when they're goals are the same they have different preferences for how to achieve them. Contrast and the ensuing conflict makes for better comedy.

[@Morphinbeast]

Fun fact as weird as it sounds there really were "Kids Clubs" back in the early 2000s it was literally just a kid version of night clubs. It was weird but for us kids at that time it was the best place to go.

[@Dudeman23rd]

1:11:52 You're aware that the "whistle in my pudding" bit is a reference to a very famous Reese's ad, right? The fact that it's lived in your head rent-free since the show aired and you chalk it up to some writer who just "couldn't think of anything better" is hilarious to me. Whoever wrote that absolutely did it on purpose.

[@Zaqt23145]

This video was such a delight, the editing, the old Disney bumpers, and the ghost hunting interlude? Hilarious! Seriously you did a fantastic job. And as a kid I remember being LIVID at the highschool musical episode , screaming at the tv ‘THAT’S SHARPAY!!’

[@Mskittenlover12]

Carrie saying that guy ate all her animal crackers but then saying she was in high school makes me think the animal crackers are actually code for marijuana or something and the writers knew what they were doing.

[@oldasyouromens]

Animal crackers is a strain from California, where the writers of this show live. So not impossible.

[@tonoornottono]

i guess

[@JuanJose-fw1eg]

I think this is the most "Nickelodeon" show of the 2000s Disney Channel sitcoms, kinda mean spirited and with a designated "punching bag" character.
