Degrassi High/YMMV


 * Alas Poor Scrappy: Claude's suicide
 * Better On DVD (Mostly...the continuity becomes clearer, but so does every single Retcon)
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming (Tabi asking Dwayne to dance in the last episode.)
 * Die for Our Ship (The Joey/Caitlin pair was so beloved by many fans that they showed no sympathy to any of the various Romantic False Leads, even when
 * Hollywood Homely: If Alex got rid of the huge glasses, shaved the neck beard, and took some acne meds, he would be decent looking.
 * Memetic Mutation (From School's Out: )
 * Never Live It Down (Michelle is absolutely infamous for crying - which she does about 3 times in the whole series, once at her parents divorcing, and twice at her boyfriend cheating then dumping her. Apart from those, she was actually one of the more proactive characters in the series)
 * Tessa told the other kids the school was burning down. She dated Alex of all people and even Yick. But it always comes back to the fact that Joey Jeremiah fucked her.
 * The Degrassi parents don't like the idea of Christine being in school with their children after she gets pregnant
 * Derek killing a child while drunk driving.
 * No Yay (Michelle's father's actions always came off as a little... unfatherly)
 * The Scrappy (Kathleen and Claude, though both are definitely meant to be unpleasant)
 * Tear Jerker: After everyone finds out that school bully Dwayne has HIV he admits "I used to like it when people were afraid of me but this is different."
 * Values Dissonance (Many of the story arcs, especially Michelle's and Dwayne's, only make sense with early 1990s attitudes toward parenting, AIDS, and so on; also, modern audiences will probably not be amused by the scene where Joey and Wheels dance as caricatured Mexicans)
 * Unnecessary Makeover: Stephanie gives one to herself. She was actually pretty without the makeup set to whore.
 * Wangst (Claude is king here, but it's left deliberately unclear whether you're supposed to sympathize with him)
 * The Woobie (Kathleen, mostly, though other characters could count)
