History Series / NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide

* OneSteveLimit: Discussed when Moze grew annoyed of her nickname, of which only Ned, Cookie and Gordy used for her, and set out to get them to just call her Jennifer (her last name is Mosley). Ned reveals, with some sentiment, that he gave her that name because there were four other Jennifer's in their class, but only one Moze.

* ComedicUnderwearExposure: In the "Sick Days and Spelling Bees" episode, Ned advises Cookie that the best way to overcome his nerves and win the spelling bee is to picture the audience in their underwear. During the actual spelling bee, Ned realizes that Cookie is having a hard time doing this, so Ned stands up, pulls his own pants down, and stands in his boxer shorts to ease Cookie's nerves. As a sign of support for Cookie, all of the boys in the audience follow Ned's lead and do the same thing. Oddly, it's only the boys who decide to do this and not the girls. Also somewhat oddly, none of the boys in the entire audience are wearing tight underwear, such as boxer briefs or regular briefs/tighty-whities. Despite the popularity of boxer briefs among young men, all of the boys in this particular school appear to wear knee-length boxer shorts.

* TheyDo: Ned and Moze, who after seasons of UnresolvedSexualTension, finally get together in the GrandFinale.

Ned Bigby (Creator/DevonWerkheiser) is the clever but BookDumb protagonist who is dedicated to completing an all-encompassing guide "to help '''you''' survive school," covering every issue from tests and dodgeball to puberty and relationships. Reflecting its creator's animation roots, the sitcom is one of the rare live-action productions to utilize a TwoShorts format; every 11-minute story serves as a "[[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming Survival Guide to:]] [name of topic/subject]", wherein Ned and his two best friends GadgeteerGenius Simon Nelson "Cookie" Cook (Creator/DanielCurtisLee) and {{tomboy}} Jennifer "Moze" Mosely (Creator/LindseyShaw) each have [[TwoLinesNoWaiting their own storyline]] that requires his advice on the subject.

** Setting tables to collapse, "a Ned Bigby classic," seen ''only'' in the "Records." In general, Ned is portrayed as a notorious troublemaker. While he has caused a bit of trouble, it rarely hurts anyone and it was nowhere near the level this episode would have you expect.

* ToTheBatNoun: Sometimes.
-->'''Ned:''' To the library!

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: None of the characters--male or female, major or minor--are above AmusingInjuries, awkward situations or embarrassing subplots, which is part of what makes all the characters work so well with the show's tone. What's more, the show avoids the use of this convention in other shows of its type by even including the various love interests in this, even for minor or one-off gags.

-->'''Gordy:''' You see, Ned, fighting a girl is a lose-lose situation.\\

'''Gordy:''' *sounds horrified* Then, you just beat up a ''girl''. Jerk!

* NobodyPoops: Shown in "Guide to: Bathrooms" particularly when Cookie accidentally goes into the girls' bathroom when he had to go really badly. In "Guide to: Dismissal" Moze and other girls are tired of waiting in line for the girls' room and commandeer the boys room.

** "Nerdy bully" are the words used by Wiki/TheOtherWiki to describe Lance Widget, an extremely bossy and aggressive FatBastard who was Ned's tutor for a while and was always yelling at him and calling him "moron."

** The GrandFinale TVMovie takes it up to eleven with the LongTitle of, "Guide To: Field Trips, Permission Slips, Signs, and Weasels."

* LongTitle: A mild example. A few episodes do it as well, such as "Guide to: When You Like Someone Who Is Going Out With Somebody Else," "Guide to: Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts & Zombies," and "[[GrandFinale Guide to: Field Trips, Permission Slips, Signs, and Weasels]]."

* RefugeInAudacity: Everything that happens in the show is over-the-top and not just fueled by the RuleOfFunny... It's fueled by the [[UpToEleven Rule Of Hilarious]].

* An Extra Credit volcano was taken UpToEleven with the use of concrete, wood framing, knocking out part of the second floor, rerouting some heat vents into the base, and a few sticks of dynamite.

** In another episode, both Ned and Moze are trying to claim a pair of sneakers autographed by NBA legend Carmelo Anthony from the lost-and-found. Ned eventually pushes Moze and himself through a door that leads to outside the building and can't be opened from the side they're in. Ned gloats that now all he has to do is keep Moze in this space until 3 o'clock, and he can claim the shoes for himself. Ned is pretty confident...right up until Moze points out that since Ned is out there with her, ''he'' can't claim the sneakers either.

* {{Tomboy}}: Moze. She's tough, aggressive, athletic, and OneOfTheBoys. She also hates wearing dresses. And she loves woodshop (even though she only got put in the class by accident).

* DiageticVisualEffects: In "Girls," Ned remarks that when he meets his perfect girl, a golden light will hit her and the angels will sing. Twice in the episode, a light shines on Moze and a chorus of angels sings. However, it's not an actual BishieSparkle -- Gordy is just fixing up the lights while the choir practices in the hallway, as the lights in the chorus room broke. The third time this happens, however, [[SubvertedTrope Gordy fixed the lights and the choir is back in their room]], suggesting it's ''actually'' [[ShipTease in Ned's head]] that time.
