A Million Hailey's On It Facts To Learn While You Are Bored!

Hey Guys, Here's A Milion Hailey's On It Facts To Learn While You Are Bored!

• Completely Different Title: The series has a different title in every country and region:
• Becomes 海莉的任務清單 (Hailey's To-Do List) in Hong Kong and 海莉救世界 (Hailey Saves the World) in Taiwan.
• 헤일리는 임무중! (Hailey is On a Mission) in South Korea.
• Leave It to Hailey in Persian.
• Os Desafios de Hailey is Brazillian Portuguese.
• Хэйли в деле (Hailey in Action) in Russian.
• Hailey y su lista para salvar al mundo (Hailey and Her List to Save the World) in Latin America.^note 
• Hailey má plán! (Hailey Has a Plan!) in Czech.
• Haileys liste (Hailey's List) in Danish.
• Haileys missies (Hailey's Missions) in Dutch.
• Ya Nara Kya! Hailey (Gotta Do It! Hailey) in Japanese.

• What Could Have Been: Early concept art showed that Hailey was a case of Colorblind Casting, as they toyed with her possibly being Black or Asian.
• Out of Order: As is typical with Disney Channel shows, the order the episodes first aired is not always the same as the order they were made, which can cause some confusion as Status Quo Is God is not always followed; there are changes from episode to episode of the status of friendships, dating, introduction of characters and pets, and information about the chaos bots and the future world, which affect whether the events of another episode make sense before or after another one.
• For instance, "Catching Felines", where Hailey needs to make a female friend to fulfill a list item, aired after "Road Trippin'", where Hailey and Kristine call one another friends. A production secretary of the show has confirmed that the order of the episodes' airing was the reverse of the order of production.

• Actually Pretty Funny: On the verge of Scott hearing a video message from Hailey confessing her feelings for him in "The A-maize-ing Maze", Hailey panics and throws his phone into the path of a combine harvester, destroying it. With Scott shooting her a rare Death Glare, Hailey chalked it up to her hand slipping, which breaks Scott into laughter and calls her "butterfingers".
• Artistic License – Law: Hailey adopts a flamingo from an animal shelter in episode 10, which many viewers will be disappointed to learn is very illegal in real life.
• Art Shift: When Hailey puts on a leather jacket, she sees her reflection in an art style reminiscent of a more action-oriented cartoon, to fit with the bad girl persona that accompanies the outfit.
• Balloonacy: In "The Puffle Kerfluffle", the Puffles wear helium-filled pants that render them almost weightless, allowing for airborne acrobatics as part of their act.
• Butterfly of Doom: Hailey completing her list starts a chain of events that eventually leads to the effects of climate change being reversed. If she fails to complete the list, climate change will instead spiral out of control, leading to The End of the World as We Know It.
• Couch Gag: The noise when Scott hits the ground in the opening is different in each episode.
• Diegetic Switch: In "Seas the Day", Hailey and Scott sing along to a song when partaking on their ferry's on-board karaoke. A (non-diegetic) rendition of the song is played over a montage of Hailey and Scott taking part in various activities on Catalina Island, none of which manage to get Scott out of his slump.
• Dismotivation: Hailey tends to avoid trying new things. The to-do list she must complete, however, is set to push her far out of her comfort zone.
• Embarrassing Nickname: In "The Beginning of the Friend", Scott brings up that when she was younger, Hailey threw up on the Zero Gravitron ride, so all the other kids called her "Hurley" for a week.
• Free-Range Children: Most of the time, Hailey and her friends (and enemies, etc.) seem able to roam freely with little sign of any interference from parents or other authority figures except in the rare cases when that is necessary to the plot (like Hailey's mom initially saying no to her adopting a flamingo as a pet or attending a K-Pop concert on the night she'd agreed to babysit her twin brothers), which generally end with her managing to do the thing anyway without getting in serious trouble for it. Taken to the extreme in "Road Trippin'" where Hailey, Scott, and Kristine take a bus ride from Oceanside, California to Flagstaff, Arizona, a 500-mile trip in one direction.
• Freeze-Frame Bonus:
• When Hailey's going over her list in the third-to-last shot of the theme song, it shows she has already eaten junk food for a day, done synchronized swimming, volunteered at a shelter, and made a pie. Those were numbers 149, 148, 145, and 141.
• In "We Wish You A Merry Chaos-Mas", the newspaper about the Oceanside Christmas Festival is briefly shown around the end of the episode to be dated "December 24th 2023". This confirms that all episodes of the series released thus far take place in 2023, excluding flashbacks and the future itself.
• Identical Stranger:
• In "The Puffle Kerfuffle", Kylie and Thacher are the stars of a children's show called The Puffles, with Thacher looking very much like an older Scott with piercings. At the end, Thacher introduces his wife, Bailey, who looks like an older Hailey — right down to the glasses — and shares similar interests. Hailey even imagines herself and Scott as them.
• In "Cubix Dudes", Scott thinks he sees Hailey backstage (when he's joined a performance group), but it turns out to be a guy named Harley who's in the crew, whose back side looks just like Hailey.
• In "U.F. Whoa!", Hailey and Scott pose as two government scientists who just fixed a youth ray. The two they stole their lab coats from then show up, looking superficially like an older Hailey and Scott.
• Killer Robot: "Chaos Bots" are being sent back from the future to try to stop Hailey from completing the list.
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The extended theme song lists one of Hailey's tasks as "Learn to play guitar and write my own theme song."
  Beta: Done!
• • Limited Wardrobe: Aside from very rare occasions where a wardrobe change is required, Hailey sports a red-and-white tee under overalls (always with the left side undone), and Scott wears a green shirt over a long white one and jeans.

  
  
• • Leitmotif:
  • The lead of "The Future's In My Hands" serves as one for Hailey herself, playing in situations such as her successfully completing a list item.
  • The chorus of "The Future's In My Hands" serves as one for Hailey and Scott's friendship, playing in significant moments concerning the pair.
  • The Chaos Bots have a foreboding piece of electronic music play whenever they appear, establishing them as a mysterious threat from the future.
  • Love Theme: "Kiss Your Friend" from the pilot recurs as a Leitmotif whenever there's Ship Tease between Hailey and Scott, such as when she meets her Identical Stranger in "The Puffles" that gives her a boost in confidence seeing as how she admitted to her best friend that she liked him, and in "U.F.-Whoa!" when Scott and Kristine break up.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: "Frankly Fabulous" has mentions of musical artists named "Lady Goo Goo" and "DJ Salad".
  • Once More, with Clarity: In "Lady and the Trampoline", Hailey remembers her friends mocking her for sweating too much at the trampoline park. Later in the episode, she is shown a video of that day revealing that they were actually being supportive, but Hailey was too self-conscious to realize it at first.
  • Painful Rhyme: From the theme song: "Teach a cat to play the piano/Roller-skate all the way to Orlando/Use my earwax to make a candle?" Beta looks particularly bemused at the lyrics.
  • Person as Verb: Hailey describes Scott's random and impossible list (modeled after her own) as "very Scott."
  • Phoneaholic Teenager: Kristine is shown to be this (unsurprising since she has a bunch of followers). When she's forced to give up her cell phones in "Escape Doom", she goes through an Extended Disarming of cell phones she has hidden all over her person, and soon starts going crazy, talking in hashtags and emojis, calling the cell phones her babies and herself their mama. She even has a more old fashioned cell phone amongst her five other smartphones!
  • Real After All: "Mer-made in Oceanside" involves Hailey looking for a mermaid that she saw many years ago, only to find that it was actually just an advertising model that was moved around from being played with by dolphins. However, while looking down at the sea at the end of the episode, she sees a real mermaid, who winks at the viewer.
  • Running Gag: Every time The Professor starts to share the night's winning jackpot numbers with Hailey, she's yanked back into the portal before she can finish. Eventually, in "We Wish You a Merry Chaos-mas" the Professor admits that this was just an elaborate prank and she had no intention of giving Hailey jackpot numbers, as it could disrupt the timestream.
  • Shameless Self-Promoter: In-universe in "U.F. Whoa!", Scott's mom Sunny manages to insert promotions for the family restaurant, U.F. Dough, while being interviewed by a news reporter about a reported UFO.
  • Saying Too Much: When presenting their taco at the fish taco festival, the judge asks what's the savory ingredient, Hailey tries to pass it off as a family secret, then Scott says the whole thing about it being Dingles.

  
  
• • In "Bringing Home the Beacon", Beta says "Oh, the Indignity" while annoyed.
  • In "Catching Felines", Scott mentions that Hailey used to be in the Squirrel Scouts.
  • In "In A Pinch", Hailey and Scott apologize to their teacher Miss Jackson for thinking they had killed the Crab Queen mascot, inadvertently quoting OutKast:
    Hailey: I'm sorry, Miss Jackson—
    Scott: (climbing down from stage) Whew!
    Hailey: But can I be for real?
  • In "U.F. Whoa!", Hailey and Scott sneak into N.O.P.E. Headquarters by disguising themselves as scientists, and going by the names, Regina and George.

  
  
• • Suicide as Comedy: In "Seas the Day", Scott's pouring his heart out about his breakup to a random guy on the pier. Who gets up and dives over the side to get away from it.
  • The Tape Knew You Would Say That:
  • Hailey is given a prerecorded message from her future self who's aware of how she'll react to the situation.
  • "Cos-Played" has the Professor send a prerecorded hologram to the same effect.
  • Vomit Discretion Shot:
  • In the pilot, Kristine literally tips her hat to Hailey for saving her and others from a runaway Tilt-a-Whirl, only for a small boy to throw up in said hat.
  • Later, during their ride in the Tunnel of Love, Hailey's nervousness on the ride causes her to vomit on Scott. Cut to a green drink being poured into a cup.
  • In "Beta'd and Hooked", Hailey and Scott go aboard Uncle Chunk's boat, which he owns even though he gets seasick very easily.
  • Played with in "Cos-played" where Scott throws up on Beta from eating too many popsicles, the vomiting is off-screen but we see Beta covered in Scott's teal-colored barf.

  - What Are Records?: "Bad Bear Day" starts with Hailey and Scott staring dumbfounded at a rotary dial telephone, having no idea what it's for
