Line 13:
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Ricky and his pursuit of Monique.
* [[The Ace]]: Everyone other than Lane seems to have incredible skill at doing things. Highlighted by Lane's younger brother, who uses his book knowledge to pick up trashy women and build a ''launchable space shuttle'' in the attic.
* [[Alien Lunch]]: She's not an actual alien, but Lane's mother Jenny is enough of a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] that she might as well be: she's shown on-screen cooking a meal where tentacles and claws wave from the pot; in another scene she serves the family a gelatinous green goo that flees Lane's plate when he pokes it with a fork.
* [[Ascended Meme]]: "I want my two dollars!"
Line 59 ⟶ 58:
* [[Mocking Music]]: After Beth has broken up with him, Lane is driving despondently and looking for something cheery to listen to on the radio. ''Every'' station is playing a breakup song; he ends up ripping the radio out of the car and hurling it out the window.
* [[My Beloved Smother]]: Ricky's harridan of a mother.
* [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]]: After the break-up, every guy from the [[One-Scene Wonder|math teacher]] to the rude mailman to [[The Flintstones|Barney Rubble]]
* [[Naked Freak-Out]]: The roller-skating cheerleader in the cafeteria in her underwear, due to Lane's accidental slip-up. [[It Gets Worse]] as {{spoiler|''all'' of her boyfriends give him a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]}}.
* [[Obstacle Ski Course]]: The ski-off with Roy at the climax of the film turns into one.
Line 71 ⟶ 70:
* [[Stalker Shrine]]: Lane has turned his room into one of these, dedicated to his girlfriend.
* [[Standard Snippet]]: Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy" as Lane's Camaro rolls out for the first time. Gene Autry's "Here Comes Santa Claus" during the Christmas sequence.
* [[Stock Shout Out]]: In-universe, Lane doing Frankenstein-imbuing-the-creature-with-life at the start of the "Everybody Wants Some" sequence.
* [[The Stoner]]: Charles. Or he would be, if he could find anything to get stoned on.
