History Series / StudentBodies

** In "All Hallow's Eve," Nick Benedetto (previously seen [[TheBully terrorizing the school]] in "The Bully") attends the Halloween dance, made up as the ''[[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Incredible Hulk]]''. He is seen walking up to people and roaring. They immediately flee from him, not only because of his Hulk persona, but probably more because he's the school bully and they're afraid of him anyway.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Chris had a big crush on Morgan in the first season, and she would sometimes use this to her advantage.

'''''Student Bodies''''' is a syndicated television comedy program produced in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from 1997 to the end of 1999 that mixed animation with live action.

The show was originally made for the American market and aired briefly in syndication (mainly to get EdutainmentShow E/I credit), and also aired in Canada on CBC Television, Global and YTV. It featured an ensemble cast of high school students at Thomas A. Edison HighSchool who run a school newspaper. The official school newspaper, in the words of the protagonist Cody Anthony Miller, sucks. The [[LoveInterest new girl]], [[WideEyedIdealist Emily Roberts]], suggests that she and Cody start up their own, featuring Cody's irreverent cartoons. Other members of the cast include Cody's best friends, [[ButtMonkey Chris Sheppard]] and Margaret "Mags" Abernathy, [[KidAnova Romeo Carter]], [[CuteClumsyGirl Grace Vasquez]], and the two members of the rival newspaper group, editor [[UpperClassTwit Victor Kane]] and photographer [[CameraFiend Francesca "Flash"]] [[TheTrickster Light]]. There's also the Vice Principal, [[DeanBitterman Mrs. Morton]].

* GuyOnGuyIsHot: "The Break-Up" subtly implies this. Victor accidentally rents a pornographic film called Saving Ryan's Privates for a double date with Cody. Victor and Cody are turned off but their dates, Kim and especially Paula, look very interested. The title suggests that it's gay porn.

* TheCastShowoff: Several cast members were talented singers, dancers, or musicians, and the show made use of this in a number of episodes :
** Mik Perlus (Victor) and Victoria Sanchez (Grace) showed off their dance moves to Latin music in "Cody Moves In." In fact, Victor and Grace were still dancing with each other, even after everybody else had settled down.
** In "The Junior Prom," the show made use of Mik's talents again, this time with Jennifer Finnigan (Kim), in a beautiful swing dancing routine.
** Jamie Elman (Cody) sang a love song while playing the piano in "Valentine's Day."
** Katie Emme (Mags) also got to show off her vocal talents, in "Mags' Birthday" and "Mags' Secret Admirer."
** Michelle Sweeney (Mrs. Morton) sang the final number in "The Christmas Concert." She was accompanied by Mark Taylor (Romeo) and Mik Perlus (Victor) on guitar, and Jamie Elman (Cody) on keyboard.

* FollowTheLeader: The show was accused of imitating ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' by critics; the ThemeSong used in later seasons is a fairly transparent ripoff of the theme from ''Series/{{Friends}}''.

* GuyOnGuyIsHot: "The Break-Up" [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar subtly]] implies this. Victor accidentally rents a pornographic film called Saving Ryan's Privates for a double date with Cody. Victor and Cody are turned off but their dates, Kim and especially Paula, look very interested. The title suggests that it's gay porn.

* ParentalBonus: Try rewatching the show and [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar see how many jokes you missed]] as a kid.

* {{Adorkable}}: Chris

There's also the Vice Principal, [[DeanBitterman Mrs. Morton]].

** At the end of the scene, Kim remarks that what Cody did was pretty risky, since he had no idea how Kim would react to him kissing her. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Cody replies, "You were worth the risk."]]

* [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone My God, What Have I Done?]]: In "Victor Gets Drunk," Victor is horrified to learn that while he was intoxicated, he [[spoiler:made cruel remarks about Flash's alcoholic mother.]]

* LoveAtFirstSight: In "Cyrano de Edison," the students perform a scene from ''Theatre/CyranoDeBergerac,'' with Cody as Cyrano, Emily as Roxanne, and Romeo as Christian. Cody, who is now convinced that Emily doesn't return his feelings for her, half-heartedly delivers Cyrano's line, which everyone quickly realizes is just as much [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Cody speaking for himself]] :
-->'''Cody''': Roxanne, you cannot know what these moments mean to me. How could you, when I have never really told you how I feel?
-->''[Cody gazes at Emily]''
-->'''Cody''': I have loved you from the moment I first saw you, and I will love you until the moment my life ends.
-->''[Emily's eyes widen and she smiles.]''
-->'''Grace''' : Oh, that is so beautiful.
-->'''Cody''': I ask only one thing. A kiss.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: "The Trial" has a possible example. Cody dreams that he's on trial for cheating on Emily and Chris says that he's obviously feeling guilty otherwise he would having that ''{{Baywatch}}'' dream again. Enter Grace in a bathing suit, babbling about an emergency.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: In "The Road Trip," Chris admits that he's never [[UnusualEuphemism "been to Wonderland"]] (unlike Cody, Romeo and Victor).
