Worst Disney Channel and Nickelodeon Teen Sitcom Cliches

This list sums up every teen sitcom cliche in Disney Channel and Nickelodeon.
The Top Ten
1 Laugh tracks

Laugh tracks are the most cliched things used in so-called "Sitcoms." They could say the simplest sentence and the most hoaxed, unbelievably robotic canned laughter I've ever heard. If you want to TRY to make your minimum audience laugh at LEAST once per episode, for God's sake include some passable jokes! And less of the flipping canned laughter!

They are annoying, I mean why would you put laugh tracks, you know that laugh tracks are death people from the 80's so you are mordibly listening to death people laughing and the jokes they say they are not even funny, and why should you put a laugh track every minute

YES! They put a laugh track on EVERYTHING! It could be the most overused joke ever, and they put a laugh track. For instance, someone could say "What's up? " and when the person answers "The sky." then they put a laugh track.

It's like they're GUIDING YOU BY THE HAND ON WHERE TO LAUGH, because they know it's not funny and they need to give you some sort of signal on where to laugh.

2 Dumb blondes

Leni Loud is another example. Well, at least she acts like a teen sitcom dumb blonde.

Leni Loud is an example of a GOOD dumb blonde character.

3 Main characters acting like spoiled brats

That sums up a little bit. Miley Stewart, Rocky and Cece, etc.

In some scenatios it works, others... just look at Jessie, or Liv And Maddie.

4 Annoying younger sibling

You know how one-dimensional Matt McGuire and Kate Sanders are?! The fact that Kate Sanders is a mean girl is also terrible. Lizzie McGuire is a great Disney Channel sitcom, but the weakest one when there were only six generation eras of gaming.

Matt McGuire is an example.

5 Alpha bitches

Another thing I've noticed about most of these sitcoms are that the main character is always a singer/actor or something.

Lexi Reed and Kate Sanders are the examples.

6 Features a school

I love That's So Raven and Boy Meets World with a passion. But I am aware of their main flaws, such as the fact that one of its main locations is a school. How many times have we seen this cliche? - The Ultimate Daredevil

I'll admit... I see no appeal in Unfabulous. Nickelodeon in a nutshell... So, Addie Singer is basically forcing her lover to date her, eh? I feel sorry for Emma Roberts.

Looks like anime isn't the only thing that suffers from this cliche.

It's always either a high school or a middle school

7 Arguments

I hate arguments. It gets on my nerves and so do my parents'.

8 Teen angst

Every teen sitcom and drama had teen angst. What's next? A lighter and denser children's sitcom version of "My So-Called Life meets Malcom in the Middle"? There's going to be teenagers hating on their family and refusing to do their homework? Most teenagers get angsty, hate their parents, sneak out of the house, and sleep at school.

Remember Cat Valentine?! She is very argumentative towards he rparents and is a spoiled little girl who whines about literally everything!

9 Sleepover episodes

I have seen a few episodes about sleepovers. There's also on animated series and teen dramas as well.

The Sleepover Club is this every episode.

10 Bad behaviors

Even worse than the teenage main characters acting like spoiled brats. All they do is to hate on their parents, sneak out of the house, ditch school, and refuse to do homework.

I hate O11CE, because this show includes tons of bad behaviors. Like Gabo who is a gary-stu, Lorenzo is a selfish soccer player who loves fighting. That's the reason why I hate that show.

The Contenders
11 Mean-spirited undertones
12 Kissing

Victorious has the most out of every sitcom.

Including in teen dramas.

13 Stupid parents

Even though Wizards of Waverly Place is a kickass homage to the Harry Potter franchise, why are the parents stupid?! Justin Russo's younger siblings are meant to be ignorant, not his parents!

14 Unrealistic content

Seriously? Shows are supposed to be unrealistic, that's how fictional stuff works. Have you even forgot how to judge stuff?

15 Unfunny moments

Excluding That's So Raven.

16 Toilet humor

Disney1994 is a clean freak who goes insane at one slight mention of toilet humor, just like nelsonericxx. It's just sad

Like in Ricky, Dicky, Nicky and Dawn

17 Sexism

Nickelodeon has the most sexism (if it doesn't have the same level of sexism as Disney). Remember Monster High, Zoey 101, Lalaloopsy, Regal Academy, The Other Kingdom Kuu Kuu Harajuku and Shimmer & Shine?! I hate these shows with a passion because it proves us that Nickelodeon and Mattel target dainty girls at very young girls.

18 Dumb people

Almost every single show has that one dumb person that you want to punch

19 Stereotypes

Imagine if Cat Valentine had a crush on Troy Bolton and forced her to rescue her dainty, lazy body and furiously called him a nobody if he doesn't like how Amy Rose does to Sonic, but WAY more wild!

20 Annoying content
21 Every protagonist on the show is prissy
22 The unpopular/weird friend

How I feel about these characters vary. Most of the time they're stupid, very annoying, and practically embarrassing. They usually dress like an idiot and talk like one because they're trying to be funny, and it's just obnoxious. On the flip side, they could actually be likable and NOT a total ninny, but the main character treats them like crap because they're not popular. There's almost always episodes where the main character would ditch them for the populars, even though this person is supposed to be their friend! Whether this character is likable or not, this cliche sucks and these friend duos rarely have any reason as to why they're friends.

23 Love interests

This is why 10-year-olds(or younger) want boyfriends/girlfriends. It's not realistic and it's just stupid. Also most of the character love interests are just liked because of their looks and have barely any personality. And they basically become a Mary Sue/Gary Stu.

24 Dumb plots
25 Dating episodes

You have watched Save The Date, the episode on The Loud House?
