Line 109:
** In the script of the stage version, (or at least the high school version, which kept most of the crap that got past the radar), it's "Oh no, don't tell me Khrushchev has his shoes off again!"
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: In the 2007 movie, {{spoiler|Amber has Tracy steal her thunder and her boyfriend, gets hoisted above the set, tears her dress getting down, and loses her crown to a child on live TV}}. And then she's surprisingly good natured about it in the end, possibly making this a subversion. Played straight with Velma, though, whose humiliation is more thorough and ''not'' taken well.
* [[Implausible Deniability]]: Edna refuses to believe that First Lady Jackie Kennedy's hairstyle has anything to do with hairspray.▼
{{quote|"I believe it is just naturally stiff."}}▼
* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]▼
* [[Informed Ability]]: Inez's dancing in the 2007 movie. {{spoiler|She's not appreciably better than the rest of the talented cast, yet we're supposed to believe that she alone was impressive enough to win Miss Teen Hairspray after just one (short) dance. It's implied she won because she was the only black contestant (ever) and the whole community voted for her, even though there'd still be alot of racism in the community, making this very improbable.}}▼
* [[I Take Offense to That Last One]]:
{{quote|'''Link Larkin:''' I shoulda been there, beside her. I can't sleep. I can't eat...
Line 116 ⟶ 120:
'''Tracy:''' You couldn't eat? }}
* [["I Want" Song]]: "Good Morning Baltimore" and "I Can Hear The Bells".
▲* [[Implausible Deniability]]: Edna refuses to believe that First Lady Jackie Kennedy's hairstyle has anything to do with hairspray.

* [[Jerkass]]: Velma Von Tussle in the musical and even more so in it's film adaptation (where she's less [[Laughably Evil]]), and Amber Von Tussle for a good while due to emulating her mother.
** The whole Von Tussle family takes this to ridiculously extreme levels in the original 1988 film. Tracy and (especially) Edna have their moments there too, in stark contrast to the kind people they are in the musical and 2007 film.
