❀❀NEW TAG❀❀ “Instant Hypocrite” ❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀
Wow, this scene is full of examples of tags I hate in the modern shows, but actually done well. Disney overuses “instant hypocrite” jokes so much that you can basically never believe what any character says until you wait to see if there’s a punchline proving them wrong.
So, there’s something that catches my attention pretty often in these shows, and it’s that the actors are, a lot of the time, way better than the script. Now, not to say the script here is bad, but Ashley Tisdale’s performance definitely elevates it to one that makes me laugh every time. We’re gonna see examples of this where the joke is truly horrible and the actor tries their very best, to no avail. That’s why I like to separate “Disney sitcom” from “Disney actors” because the actors are usually a lot more talented than people give them credit for.
