Line 9:
* [[The Alleged Car]]: The minivan at the end of the film, which is missing two doors and has had most of its paint scorched off. Thomas' parents force him to drive it to school as punishment, though his friends think it looks [[Badass]].
* [[Based
* [[Big Man On Campus]]: Thomas becomes this at the end.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Remember the Santa statue that the main characters stole from T-Rick? {{spoiler|It was full of ecstasy. [[Oh Crap|And]] [[Chekhov's Gunman|T-Rick]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|wants it]] [[Kill It With Fire|back]].}}
Line 20:
* [[Flipping the Bird]]: The Santa statue does this perpetually, {{spoiler|and Thomas does it to the helicopter}}.
* [[Gamer Chick]]: Kirby is seen kicking Costa's ass at ''[[Mortal Kombat 9 (Video Game)|Mortal Kombat 9]]'' on the 360.
* [[
* [[Informed Judaism]]: J.B.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Costa, the one who planned the entire party, gets his charges dropped because his family can afford a good lawyer. {{spoiler|He's still awaiting the results of three paternity tests, though.}}
Line 29:
* [[One of the Boys]]: Kirby.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|Dax, with the implication at the end that he's a [[Self Made Orphan]].}}
* [[A Party - Also Known As an Orgy]]
* [[The Precious Precious Car]]: Thomas' dad tells him not to touch the Mercedes or let anybody else use it. Predictably, it winds up at the bottom of the pool.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: {{spoiler|By T-Rick at the end.}}
* [[Running Gag]]: Costa seems to have a cousin for everything.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Costa. He thinks he's cool, and is quick to blame the two other boys for his loser reputation and lack of girlfriend, but the scenes showing him inviting people to the party indicates that it's probably just in his head. He's also fond of talking about his life in Queens, where he supposedly was one of the coolest boys ever. [[Subverted Trope|On the other hand]], he ''did'' organize the wildest party ever without suffering any lasting consequences, managed to gather a ''very large'' crowd for his friend's birthday, became one of the coolest kids in school, {{spoiler|and scored with at least three girls}}.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Basically the first quarter of the movie. Any [[Genre Savvy]] viewer can guess that any of the rules laid out by Thomas or his father will end up broken.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Dax, the main cameraman, rarely speaks until the very end. Given what we learn about him later, this makes him a lot scarier. Even the main characters are freaked out by him.
* [[Was It Really Worth It?]]
* [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Of course Thomas will never do anything too serious, he's a "loser".]]
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]:
** Thomas {{spoiler|was indicted on six separate charges}}.
** Costa {{spoiler|got off the hook thanks to his expensive "Jew lawyer", but is still awaiting results on three separate paternity tests}}.
