Character history

Season one

George Michael and Surely in "Justice is Blind"

Maeby pays George Michael off for doing homework for her. The next day at school he follows her and finds that she is pretending to be Surely, collecting a giant check from the school. ("Altar Egos") George Michael chastizes her for making light of illnesses and for abusing the legal system to build ramps in their school's gym. However, when she publicly calls him a "hero" he gets swept away by the crowd's applause. ("Justice Is Blind")

Season three

Surely in "Notapusy"

Maeby later uses Surely (with the surname 'Wolfbeak') in an attempt to prove that the Miss Inner Beauty pageant at the Church and State Fair will still favor girls with outer beauty. Maeby is certain that Surely's plain dress, large (fake) nose, and inability to walk will prevent her from winning the pageant, but the sympathy she gets from the judges results in a win, beating the beautiful Hope Loblaw and plain Ann Veal. ("Notapusy")

Trivia

• A poster for Surely is first seen in "Shock and Aww".
• The nose Surely wears at the Miss Inner Beauty pageant is Nicole Kidman's from The Hours, purchased for her by Jamie Kennedy as he was trying to bribe her for a role in Snowboarding School 2.
• The name 'Surely' is a play on the fact that Maeby's real name sounds like 'maybe' which is the opposite of 'surely'.
