Kickin' It (2011-) on Disney XD, is set in the struggling Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy, run by Rudy (Jason Earles, previously of
Hannah Montana). Five misfit students band together to form the Wasabi Warriors.
1. Wisecracking Jack, played by Leo Howard (left), who has also starred in a
Disney channel DVD review program,
Shake It Up (2013) and
Conan the Barbarian (2011), #9 on my list of
Unexpected Disney Channel Teen Hunks. He has a crush on
2. Kim, the only girl in the dojo.
3 Surly lone wolf Jerry, played by Mateo Arias (right, with Jake T. Austin, who
apparently hugs every teen hunk he can find),#7 on the list. He's dating Mika, niece of the owner of their hangout, Falafel Phil's.
4. The nerd Milton (Dylan Riley Snyder), who is dating Julie, but also buddy bonds with Randy (
Evan Hofer).
5. The portly Eddie (Alex Christian Jones), who isn't dating anyone in particular, but fancies himself a "playa."
In spite of the requisite children's program hetero-horniness, there is a lot of gay content.
1. Beefcake provided by the regulars and such guest stars as
Billy Unger and
Booboo Stewart.
2. Jason Earles' gay-vague portrayal of Rudy, who has a girlfriend but likes to hang out in his "man cave" with love-hate frenemy Lonnie (Peter Oldring, left, the gay Fabian on
Love That Girl)
3. Jack and Jerry, inseparable partners, with an intense, physical romance reminiscent of that of Zack and Slater on
Saved by the Bell. They even have a shipping name, Jarry. (A shipping name is a portmanteau used by fans to identify the relationship they favor; for instance).
