History Series / HannahMontana

%% * BerserkButton:
%% ** Do not, I repeat, do ''not'' call Lilly stupid within earshot of Oliver!
%% ** ''It's a NAZEL condition!''

%% * ChivalrousPervert: Rico.

%% * PromotionToOpeningTitles: Moises Arias, as of Season 2.
%% * PunBasedTitle: Most of the episode titles are wordplay on the titles of popular songs.
%% * PungeonMaster: Robbie Ray constantly makes puns.

* SickeninglySweethearts: Lilly and Oliver, after being friends since kindergarten, suddenly turn into this, even calling each other "Lillypop" and "Olipop".

%% * SlidingScaleOfContinuity: Level 2 (StatusQuoIsGod).

%% * ChainedHeat: Oliver does this to Miley and Lilly in "Cuffs Will Keep Us Together".
* ChangingYourselfForLove: In one episode, Miley decides to try and turn her tomboyish best-friend Lily into a GirlyGirl to help Lily win over her crush (and because Lily's antics were annoying her), especially after seeing the AlphaBitch duo flirting with him. However, this only makes the boy less interested in her, to the point where he stands her up at the dance; it turns out, he liked her ''because'' she was a cool skater-chick.

%% * CostumePorn

** Miley/Hannah, in practically every episode -- especially after the first season. She's cute, she's funny, ''[[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist she can be downright obnoxious]]''. It's why the audience can comfortably laugh ''at'' her when the ZanyScheme invariably backfires.

%% * DefrostingIceQueen: Joanie in later episodes becomes friends with Lilly, Miley after she starts dating Oliver.

%% * GirlPosse: Subverted with Ashley in that she's just one girl.

** "Sweet Niblets!"

* HappierHomeMovie: In one episode, Miley watches a family Christmas from when her mom was still alive.

** Miley is doing a radio interview from her kitchen while eating spaghetti and claims to be speaking from a cafe in Italy. When she is asked where she is, her father passes her the pasta box. She reads the first words she sees and claims to be in the small village of "Sodium Free". She immediately amends this to "Sodium Freme" (said in an Italian accent).

** Music/MileyCyrus hails from Franklin, Tennessee in RealLife, and her dad comes from Kentucky. The Stewarts, being Southerners, came from the fictional town of Crawley Corners, Tennessee, as TheMovie makes quite clear. The show never lets you forget the Stewarts' Southern roots for too long, the strong accents Billy Ray and Miley have for starters. The episodes featuring Mammaw, Uncle Earl and/or and Aunt Dolly only reinforce the issue.

%% * DefrostingIceQueen: Joanie in later episodes becomes friends with Lilly then Miley after she starts dating Oliver.

* [[ItsAWonderfulPlot Wonderful Life]]: In the episode "When You Wish You Were the Star", Miley wishes upon a star that she could be all Hannah, all the time. In this AlternateTimeline, Jackson is a hermit, Robbie Ray is married to a GoldDigger, Lilly is the AlphaBitch (with Ashley and Amber as her GirlPosse), and Rico and Oliver have gone into business together as sleazy paparazzi-wannabes.

-->'''Jake Ryan:''' Oh, and Creator/NataliePortman, Music/BritneySpears, and Jake Gyllenhaal? Name droppers!

** [[Film/StandByMe Rob Reiner]] in "You Gotta Lose That Job".

** [[Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond Ray Romano]] and Donny Osmond in "We're All on This Date Together".

** Robin Roberts (from Good Morning America) in "Can You See The Real Me?".
** [[Series/AllMyChildren Kelly Ripa]] in "I Am Mamaw, Hear Me Roar!".

* SpotTheImpostor: When Miley's cousin Luann tries to pose as her and expose her secret, Lilly and Oliver confirm which Miley is real by suggesting Oliver kiss them both; the one who likes that idea is Luann.

* SheIsAllGrownUp: Lilly. In the TomboyAndGirlyGirl pairing of her and Miley, she started out as the former, with actress Emily Osment drawing unflattering comments about being her brother [[TheSixthSense Haley Joel]] with a wig. Jump to Season 4 -- Lilly dresses straight from the [[UnlimitedWardrobe Hannah Closet]] and [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Oliver]] is just smitten.

%% * AnAesop: One per episode, generally. More prevalent during the series' early run -- the third and fourth seasons have quite a few episodes that manage to avoid this trope.

%% * BasementDweller: Francis Corelli, Seaview High's Social Studies teacher.
%% * BathroomStallOfOverheardInsults: DefiedTrope; Miley checks for feet under the doors before talking about being Hannah.

%% * BigEater:
%% ** Lilly. Skinny as she is, [[{{Hammerspace}} one wonders where she puts it all]].
%% ** Robbie Ray, leading to some people, including the President, [[RunningGag teasing him about his waistline]].
%% * BigFancyHouse: Miley's new home in season 4.

%% * CausticCritic: Music critic Barney Bittman, played by the legendary Gilbert Gottfried.

%% * DisorganizedOutlineSpeech: Lilly lists reasons not to be friends in "When You Wish You Were the Star".

%% * DugInDeeper: Lilly is HollywoodToneDeaf and Miley CannotSpitItOut.
%% * DumbBlonde: Lilly, especially in Season 1.

%% * EggSitting: Oliver and Sarah do this in "My Boyfriend's Jackson and There's Gonna be Trouble".

%% * EscapistCharacter: Hannah. Invoked in some of her songs, such as "Just Like You", which lets the audience identify with her more readily.

%% * FlatWhat: At least once an episode.

%% * GoodFeelsGood: Sarah seems to really enjoy her [[GranolaGirl goodie-two-shoes ways]].

%% * HasTwoThumbsAnd: A CatchPhrase of Jackson's.
* HatesMySecretIdentity: Amber and Ashley, who bully Miley, idolize Hannah.
%% * HeterosexualLifePartners: Miley and Lilly.

%% * HormoneAddledTeenager: Most, if not all, of them. Considering the hectic double life Miley has, the show spends a disproportionate amount of time on hers and the others' various crushes.

%% * IntergenerationalFriendship: Between Robbie Ray and Rico.

%% * KidCom

%% ** [[SassyBlackWoman Roxie]] in particular applies as one at times.
%% * LaughTrack

%% * TheMeanBrit: The second of the two Simon Cowell parody characters was played by [[Series/TheNanny Charles Shaughnessy]], an actual Brit.

%% * {{Meganekko}}:
%% ** The episode "You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Zit Is About You" reveals that Lilly wears contacts, and when her dog eats them, she had to wear glasses. Even though she hates them, they place her nicely into this trope.
%% ** Also, Miley dons a pair of glasses while she's Lilly's "lawyer" in the episode "You Are So Sue-able To Me".

* MissingMom: Miley and Jackson's mother died some time prior to the pilot. She does appear in a few episodes (played by Creator/BrookeShields), in dream sequences or old videos.

%% * MotorMouth: Miley can spit out some fast lines, most notably in the finale.
%% * TheMovie: Technically, two movies -- the first was a Concert Film, while the second was based on the show.
* MusicalThemeNaming: Many of the episodes are (slightly altered) named after songs.

%% * PlatonicLifePartners: Miley and Oliver, Lilly and Oliver before their RelationshipUpgrade in Season 3.

For its fourth and final season, the show was {{Retool}}ed and re-branded as ''Hannah Montana Forever''. In the process it became only the second live-action Disney Channel show to reach four seasons (and third overall), behind ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' and ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''.

* LovesMyAlterEgo: Miley can mostly avoid this issue as Hannah and Miley don't run in the same social circles, but at least once she dated a boy who explicitly didn't like Hannah Montana's music. However, she was able to use this to her advantage in "My Best Friend's Boyfriend" after she learns that Lilly's boyfriend Lucas is cheating on her; she and Oliver set up a scenario where Lucas will be out for dinner at the same restaurant as Hannah and Lola, allowing Miley to flirt with Lucas as Hannah (since he obviously wouldn't do anything with Lilly's best friend) so that he will admit his cheating in front of 'Lola'.

* LovesMyAlterEgo: Miley uses this in her favour in "My Best Friend's Boyfriend"; after she finds Lilly's boyfriend Lucas is cheating on her, she and Oliver set up a scenario where Lucas will be out for dinner at the same restaurant as Hannah and Lola, allowing Miley to flirt with Lucas as Hannah (since he obviously wouldn't do anything with Lilly's best friend) so that he will admit his cheating in front of Lola.

* LoveTriangle: Season 3 introduces Jesse, one of Hannah's band members, as a rival to Jake Ryan for her affections. An unusual situation [[FridgeLogic when you realize]] that [[BackStory as far as the world knows]], [[SeriesContinuityError Jake is actually dating Hannah's alter-ego Miley Stewart]], whom Jesse doesn't even know exists. The episode handles this by separating scenes between Miley/Jake and Hannah/Jesse -- meaning Jesse is only aware that Hannah is dating ''somebody'' -- but [[spoiler:eventually the two guys end up confronting each other in front of Hannah]]. It ''is'' possible that Jesse just didn't know who Jake's girlfriend was supposed to be.

%% * PornStache: Most of Robbie Ray's PaperThinDisguise consists of this. {{Lampshaded}} by Robbie repeatedly.

''Hannah Montana'' (2006-2011) is about a teenager named Miley Stewart (played by Music/MileyCyrus) who seems like an ordinary girl to the kids at her school. But secretly, she is also [[TeenIdol teen pop sensation]] Hannah Montana, and the only people who know besides her family are her best friends, Lilly and Oliver.

%% * WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Thor.
** When Miley removes her wig and reveals her identity to the world, several characters she met before were never seen and their whereabouts were unexplained (Traci, Johnny, etc.).

* DoomedAutographedBall: In one episode, Miley purposefully shred's Jackson's prized autograph baseball as revenge for him accidentally destroying her favorite stuffed animal. When he fixes it for her, she feels so guilty that she goes out of her way to get a new baseball signed by the player, who now runs a pizza restaurant, and forces her to perform as Hannah to get the signature. When Jackson finds out all the trouble she went through, he forgives her despite not having the autograph.

* CaptainObvious: From the episode "You Never Give Me My Money", in which the [[ThreeAmigos three friends]] arrive at Rico's to find a large tent:
-->'''Lilly:''' Yeah, I meant what's going on at Rico's?\\
'''Oliver:''' Oh. There's a tent up.\\
'''Lilly:''' Thank you, Captain ''Duh''!

** Two of Jackson's best friends -- [[BlackBestFriend Cooper]], not seen since Season 1, and Thor, not seen since Season 2.

* BlackBestFriend: Cooper to Jackson.

** [[Series/GoodMorningAmerica Robin Roberts]] in "Can You See The Real Me?".

** [[Series/SportsCenter Robin Roberts]] in "Can You See The Real Me?".

%% * {{Adorkable}}:
%% * Much of the show's success can be attributed to Miley Cyrus' [[GenkiGirl bright and energetic personality]] combined with her goofy mannerisms and a total willingness to look foolish on camera. She's even been compared favorably to comedy legends Creator/LucilleBall and [[Series/TheCarolBurnettShow Carol Burnett]].
%% ** Lilly also has many {{Adorkable}} moments throughout the series, due to her awkwardness and emotions.

** Miley in the first season was a [[{{Adorkable}} shy, timid, awkward girl]]. Somewhere along the line she managed to pick up [[LittleMissSnarker large amounts of sass]]. She stayed [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsy]] though.

%% * LargeHam:
%% ** ''Everyone'', but especially Lilly.

'''Robbie:''' Please tell me you just said you're a girl who has knees.

'''Hannah:''' [[ActuallyIAmHim You have]] [[SecretIdentity '''no''' idea.]]
