Originally the primary emphasis was delivering the tips and focusing on school matters such as homework, lockers and school clubs. But soon the stories expanded to focus on the [[Love Dodecahedron|complex relationships]] between the maturing characters and the tips focused on how to deal with social situations. A brief synopsis of these relationships would be:
* The nerd Lisa Zemo had a huge crush on Cookie, who accepted her [[Just Friends|as a friend]] but was oblivious to her affection. When she came back from summer break [[She's All Grown Up|changed]] and [[Beautiful All Along|stunningly beautiful]], he found himself in competition with a fanclub of her new admirers. Meanwhile, he developed a rivalry and potential romance with [[Tsundere|loud, scary,]] [[Yandere (disambiguation)|and slightly-psycho]] Evelyn Kwong.
* Ned pined after his lifelong crush Suzie and they soon became a couple. But within literally weeks, she moved out of state, leaving him at the mercy of his [[Stalker with a Crush]], the [[Rich Bitch|beautiful, rich and popular]] but [[Yandere (disambiguation)|insane]] [[Alpha Bitch|Missy]].
* Moze has several boys she is interested in as well as others who could be considered [[Stalker with a Crush]]. The third season she fell for the handsome foreign exchange student, Fayman, and they become a couple, but she can't understand why she doesn't feel the same spark she feels for Ned.
 
Line 35:
** An unintentional funny moment in the Dutch dub, where the obvious Dutch stereotype referee becomes German.
* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: All of the tips, despite how goofy the show can be, have real value.
** Aside from the [[A Day Atat the Bizarro|Halloween episode]] ones involving ghosts, vampires and werewolves.
* [[Bathroom Stall Graffiti]]: The "Hottie List"
* [[Beautiful All Along]]: Lisa Zemo
Line 69:
{{quote|'''Ned:''' Don't you know how a credit card works? You get a bill at the end of the month for all the stuff on it. How are you going to pay for that?
'''Cookie:''' DUH! [[Logical Fallacies|I'LL JUST PUT IT ON THE CARD!]] }}
* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: At different times, both Ned and Cookie dress up as girls. Cookie specifically employs [[Gender Bender Friendship]] to learn what Lisa looks for in a guy. Both also have a bit of [[Attractive Bent Gender]], especially when Loomer falls for Cookie's alter-ego.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: The characters are supposed to be 13 (7th grade) and for the most part they aimed to get actors in the realm of 12-15 to play those kids (at the start Devon Werkheiser was 13, Lindsay Shaw was 15). But the series progressed [[Webcomic Time|slower than real life]] and the actors ended up pushing 17-18 when they were supposed to still be 14.
* [[A Day Atat the Bizarro]]: The Halloween special.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Ned was stumped for tips on dealing with girls, the best he could come up with is that they like shoes and they smell nice. When Moze harrassed him with "Is that the best you can do?" [[Painting the Fourth Wall|he pulled out a boombox, turned on the theme music, pointed Mozes' head to the camera]] and had her deliver the tips.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The [[Genre Savvy]] Moze
Line 112:
** In one of the first episodes, mention is made of a "Hottie List" in the girl's bathroom. We get a brief view of some of the names on the list, one of which is Greg ''Secsay.''
** In the last episode, Ned has a lot of...issues with his clothes. In the last maybe 15 minutes, he's pretty much running around in just a hula skirt.
* [[Girlfriend in Canada]]: In one episode, Cookie pretends he has a girlfriend to make Lisa jealous. Unfortunately, the only person he makes jealous is [[Yandere (disambiguation)|Evelyn]]...
* [[Glove Slap]]: Leads to a duel over Moze between Faymen (who she was currently going out with) and Seth (who had broken up with her in the previous season). [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Moze:
{{quote|Moze: Guys! Don’t be jealous over me! And ''where'' are you getting the white gloves?}}
Line 180:
* [[Script Wank]]: Ned will recap the lessons from the episode at the end.
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: In "Survival Guide to Tests", when Ned decides that, to pass the three tests he will have on the same day, he will have to become "the opposite of Ned Bigby". Gordy then asks "Den Ybgib?", and he goes with it. When he passes, he gets a G.E.E.K. membership card with the backwards name on it.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Several to ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' (Which is appropriate considering Daran Norris, the voice of quite a few characters on FOP, plays Gordy), many to (what else?) ''[[Star Wars]]'' in the "Guide to Dodgeball"
** Two were made in "Guide to The New Kid". In the end, a new kid from Britain shows up with a [[Harry Potter (film)|Hogwarts Uniform]] and earlier than that:
{{quote|'''Teacher:''' Please welcome... (is handed a piece of paper from Cook) ...Lord Simon Nelson-Cook, [[The Dukes of Hazzard|The Duke of Hazzard]].}}
Line 221:
{{quote|'''Gordy''': Because, this is more fun.}}
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Some of [[Two Lines, No Waiting|the B-stories]] (especially a number of Cookie's in Season 3) fall under this. For example, "Positives and Negatives" had Cookie trying to get back at Loomer after a static charge attack, and "Extra Credit" had him [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] the pun when he showed Ned and Moze [[Credit Card Plot|the credit card his dad lent him for the episode.]]
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: Evelyn
