You probably remember Drake Bell from Drake and Josh (2004-2007), the Nickelodeon teencom about mismatched stepbrothers, with Drake the schemer ("let's break into the school and stack all the desks upside down") and Josh (Josh Peck) the stick-in-the-mud ("but we have to study for our math test"). It was loaded down with gay subtexts, including an nearly-out gay couple, Craig and Eric. (Dudes even hold hands during a crisis).
You may have gone to his first post-Drake movie, College (2008), where he and his three friends head for a "college weekend" (a weekend of fun activities to convince high schoolers to apply). Theirs involves nonstop shenanigans, all intensely heteronormative. At least Drake is taped to a statue of the founder with his backside exposed to the world. I think it's supposed to be humiliating.

You may have watched A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner (2011), to see how Nickelodeon would handle the gay-subtext classic. They flubbed it. Timmy is absurdly girl-crazy
And then you probably relegated Drake to nostalgic memories, not paying a lot of attention to what he's been doing for the last few years.
I checked. Brace yourself. It's a lot.
More Fairly Oddparents movies.
