Line 26:
** When Jared and Jerusha Hess were asked ''when'' their story was set, they responded "Idaho."
* [[Animated Adaptation]]
*
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]] - In-universe: Napoleon's dance sequence is completely unexplained. It is unrelated to any aspect of Pedro's campaign, style, or personality (which was, itself, very random). It does not respond to Summer's campaign promises by any means. It comes out of nowhere and makes zero sense and has very little context. Everything goes quiet, and then - {{spoiler|thunderous applause; Pedro wins}}.
** It's a rare [[Justified Trope|justified]] BLAM, though--Napoleon only did it because he had no idea that he and Pedro were required to perform a skit, so he just did the first thing that popped into his head to stall for time. {{spoiler|It works beautifully}}.
Line 51:
* [[Lovable Nerd]] - Most of the protagonists, but Napoleon in particular.
* [[Merchandise-Driven]] - Not made that way, but it was latched onto extremely fast. Almost every quote you could name from the movie appeared on a T-Shirt at some point.
**
*** Or "I voted for Pedro" with George W. Bush's face on it.
* [[Metaphorgotten]] - "I, uh, would like to give you this advice. And a fella give me some years ago. He said, "When an argument arises... if you go outside and take, uh, a nice walk... you'll calm down and then you can come back and it won't be an argument."
Line 71:
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The hideous portrait of Trisha drawn by Napoleon, and anything drawn by him in general. Like the Liger.
* [[The Unintelligible]] - Lyle the farmer. He has actual lines, but they're almost impossible to understand due to the actor's mumbling speech.▼
* [[Too Quirky to Lose]] - This whole movie but particularly the climax is an example of this trope.
▲* [[The Unintelligible]] - Lyle the farmer. He has actual lines, but they're almost impossible to understand due to the actor's mumbling speech.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Quite a few. "Bodaggit", "decroded", etc.
* [[Wearing a Flag on Your Head]] - Rex wears a red white and blue bandanna with stars AND American flag pants.
** "Take a look at what I'm wearing. You think someone wants a [[Chuck Norris Facts|roundhouse kick to the face]] while I'm wearing these bad boys?!"
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: The entire subtext of everything in the film [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades this]].▼
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: In the post-credits scene, all of LaFawnduh's relatives are clearly in shock and disbelief at the fact that she's {{spoiler|actually marrying}} Kip.
▲* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: The entire subtext of everything in the film [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades this]].
* [[What the Fu Are You Doing?]]: Kip's "cage fighting skills" vs. Rex.
* [[When He Smiles]]: It takes flipping FOREVER for Pedro to register ANY kind of facial expression, let alone smile, but when he does, it's beautiful.
