History Series / KenanAndKel

** ''Film/GoodBurger'' was essentially a spiritual film version (though it was more associated with ''Series/AllThat'', since the idea for the movie came from a recurring sketch on the show, similar to what ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' has done to some of its sketches), since both Kenan and Kel star in it with similar roles.

--> [[spoiler: '''Kel:''' ''[crying on the stand]'' [[LargeHam I DID IT! IT WAS ME! I... DROPPED THE SCREW... IN THE TUNA!]]]]

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: In "Safe and Sorry", Kenan and Kel find an old map in the Rigby's storeroom. Kenan thinks it says "safe", Kel thinks it looks more like "sofa". Just guess which one is correct. [[spoiler: [[DoubleSubversion Both, actually]]]].

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* IdentityAmnesia: The basis for the episode "Girl-Watchers," where the boys go to the airport to pick up Eric's girlfriend Melissa. As they greet Melissa [[spoiler: (*a* Melissa, not *the* Melissa)]] at the gate, Kel accidentally knocks her unconscious. When she wakes up, she tells them she doesn't know anyone named Eric, making them think she has amnesia (and knock her out some more in the hopes of jogging her memory).

** The boys think this happens to Eric's girlfriend in "Girl Watchers" after Kel knocks her out at the airport with her suitcase and she claims not to know Eric when coming to. [[spoiler: It turns out to be the wrong girl, however.]]

* BigWhy: This was practically Kenan's CatchPhrase on ''Series/KenanAndKel'', used whenever one of their schemes goes pear shaped. As seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1geHuoc7_8 here]], it's sometimes used by the other characters as well. Kenan shouting this is even played over the post credits logos.

* CatchPhrase: "Aww, here it goes!" from Kel at the beginning and ending of each episode. In the Christmas episode, the whole cast says it, with Kel saying "Aww, that's my line!". And in "Tales from the Clip", Kenan says it after Kel walked away in anger.
** '''WHHHHHYYYYYYY?!'''
** And of course, "Who loves orange soda?"
*** "Kel loves orange soda!"
*** "Is it true?"
*** "Mmmmmmmhmmmmmmm! I do, I do, I dooo-oooooh."

* TakeThat: In "Diamonds are for Roger", Kenan and Kel turn on the TV to [[Series/FamilyMatters Steve Urkel]] saying [[CatchPhrase "Did I do that?"]], this is followed by Kenan laughing mockingly at the TV before telling Kel to change the channel.

** One episode had Kenan's father Roger mistaken by the title characters (although Kenan believes in his innocence) for a jewel thief nicknamed "The Diamond Bandit" that they heard about on an ''America's Most Wanted''-type program. Ironically, John Walsh makes a {{Cameo}} on this show.

*** "[[StarWars May the Pork be with you.]]"

* UltimateJobSecurity: Kenan constantly goofs off at Rigby's, always allows Kel to take free orange soda, and leaves whenever he wants, even when his shift isn't over. If his boss were anyone other than [[ExtremeDoormat Chris]], he would have been fired his first day.

* [[HeelFaceMole Face Heel Mole]]: During the 18th annual grocery bagging contest, Chris' rival Angus offers a job for Kel as a way to win the contest. Kel accepts, but [[spoiler:during the contest, Kel succumbs to the pressure, allowing Kenan to win. Kel was feigning, that's the reason he accepted the temporary job.]]
