  • Ear Worm:
    • "Brusha, brusha, brusha/ Get the new Ipana/ With a brand new flavor/ It's dandy for your teeth!"
    • "Grease is the word/ Is the word/ That you heard/ It's got groove/ It's got meanin'!"
    • "I got chills! They're multiplyin'!"
    • "Tell me more tell me more/Like, does he have a car?
    • "Greased Lightning"
    • "Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee/ Lousy with virginity/ Won't go to bed 'til I'm legally wed/ I can't, I'm Sandra Dee!"

And "Greased Lightning" is brimming with homo-eroticism what with the butt-shots and Danny's head being in direct line to Kenickie's crotch and vice versa much of the time; the fact that the lyrics are about how much pussy they're going to get makes this a Crowning Moment of Funny. There's quite an undercurrent in the 'Will you be my second?" conversation they have just before the race.
    • Kenickie's head also likes to find its way in between Danny's knees during the music numbers, A LOT.
  • Stoic Woobie: Rizzo. Especially in her song "There Are Worse Things I Could Do".
  • Unfortunate Implications: To mend the rift in the relationship with the boy you like, you have to dress in revealing clothing, wear tarty make-up and talk in a husky voice. Nice.
