Line 8:
Has a [[Nintendo DS]] game adaptation and a [[Direct to Video|direct-to-DVD]] sequel.
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Hallow's Eve]]: The Halloween party.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Regina and, [[Becoming the Mask|later]], Cady. The whole movie is arguably a [[Deconstructive Parody]] of this trope, demonstrating how a girl can be so simultaneously loved, feared, and hated by the rest of the student body.
Line 25 ⟶ 21:
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Cady's transformation into the [[Alpha Bitch]].
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Trang Pak and Sun Jin Dinh's dialogue becomes [[Fun with Subtitles|a lot funnier if you speak Vietnamese]]. Also, at the end of the movie, when {{spoiler|Gretchen is brown-nosing to the Cool Asians in Oriental-sounding gibberish}}, one of them says (in confused and unsubtitled Vietnamese), "What?"
* [[Billing Displacement]]: When a ''Mean Girls'' game came out for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2010, [[Lindsay Lohan]], the film's star, wasn't on the cover. The tabloids [https://web.archive.org/web/20140212145717/http://perezhilton.com/2010-04-12-fill-in-the-blank-330#respond had a field day with this.]
* [[Blatant Lies]]:
{{quote|'''Karen:''' "I can't come out. ''[fake coughing]'' I'm sick."}}
Line 39 ⟶ 35:
{{quote|'''Mr. Duvall:''' "You know, you're not really required to make a speech..."}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Regina George, the butt of all of Cady's (technically Janis's) tricks and pranks. [[Jerkass|She probably deserves it, though.]]
* [[California Doubling]]: As [[Roger Ebert]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130225045705/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=
* [[Can't Believe I Said That]]: Invoked by Gretchen a couple times when insulting Regina. It's pretense, of course.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]:
Line 61 ⟶ 57:
* [[Eating Lunch Alone]]: Occurs with Cady twice: on her first day of school, when she hasn't made any friends, and {{spoiler|after she's been kicked out of the Plastics and rejected by Janis and Damian.}}
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Regina. Cady is also shown to have this kind of appeal later on as well.
* [[Fan Service]]: [[Bunny Girl|The Halloween party]], [[Sexy Santa Dress|the Christmas pageant]], [[Amanda Seyfried]] [[Wet Sari Scene|in a wet T-shirt]], [[Tina Fey]] [[Lingerie Scene|stripping down to a bra]]... this movie is in love with this trope. Even [http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/mean-girls-mean-girls-200481_640_657.jpg the] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140406094134/http://blog.lib.umn.edu/raim0007/gwss3307_summer2008/mean_girls.jpg publicity] [http://youngpost.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/meangirls11.jpg shots] show about ten square feet of leg.
* [[Fake American]]: Rachel McAdams. (Canadian)
* [[Fallen Princess]]: Janis used to be popular, but her reputation was destroyed by a rumor and she now willingly embraces outsiderdom.
Line 115 ⟶ 111:
* [[Misplaced Wildlife]]: During Cady's party, Aaron sees a picture of Cady back in Africa riding an elephant. An ''Asian'' elephant.
* [[Must Make Amends]]: This is pretty much what the [[Three Act Structure|third act]] of the movie is about.
* [[My Card]]: {{
* [[My Nayme Is]]: It's spelled "Cady," not "Katie."
{{quote|"...Yeah, I'm gonna call you 'Caddy.'"}}
