Shake It Up/YMMV

• Awesome McCoolname: Deuce Martinez.
• Dude, NOT Funny!: The anorexia joke in "Party it Up". Just ask Demi Lovato (see Unfortunate Implications below)...
• Ear Worm: There are over 12 songs associated with this show. One of them will get stuck in your head. Especially the theme song.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: Most fanfiction you see about the show will be Cece/Rocky
• Ho Yay:
  • In "Add It Up", Gunther arm wrestles Deuce down to his underwear.
  • And this comment by Flynn about Henry:

"We've shared hair gel; he's mine now."

• • Gunther and Ty.
  • "Shrink It Up" marks the first time Gunther solely and directly addresses a male character as "baybee", that male being Deuce.
  • Deuce and Ty in "Reunion It Up".

Ty: A little more bro and a little less mance.

• • • And in just about a bunch of other episodes. One episode had them both hold a phone between their hands so they could win it. Deuce had an embarrassing itch on his back, so Ty had to try and scratch it for him... Suffice to say, it was rather awkward, but laced with total bromance.
  • Also a Les Yay: Rocky and CeCe, at least Once an Episode.
    • "Break It Up" is a particularly noticeable example - the pair have a heart-to-heart about how they'll never leave each other while lying in bed together wrapped in each other's arms. This conversation opens with CeCe commenting that Rocky's hospital gown does not cover her butt and ends with them moving their faces together and CeCe wrapping her leg around Rocky. Yikes.
    • "Egg It Up" is also pretty heavy on the Les Yay. The scene where CeCe finds out Rocky's been working with another smart girl to come up with a project comes across as if Rocky's been cheating on CeCe in another way.
• Tear Jerker: When Flynn gets upset about his dad not being around.
  • CeCe's prayer to "the big guy" at the climax of "Break It Up". She (and the show) try their best^[1] to inject some humor into it but it fails at making it and any less sad and touching a moment.
• The Scrappy: Claus.
• They Just Didn't Care: Possibly the only explanation as to how a FAMILY show on the DISNEY Channel was able to get away with a joke about eating disorders.
• Unfortunate Implications: The brief depiction of anorexia in the episode "Party It Up". See Getting Crap Past the Radar.
  • Apparently Demi Lovato felt the same way and complained about it; now Disney Channel is pulling the episode.
  • The sheer amount of xenophobia and sexism in the My Fair Lady plot with Gunther.
• Villain Sue: Candy (stinkin') Cho in "Show It Up", Played for Laughs.
