Crowning Moment of Awesome: The Tri-Lambs' musical number at the end of the Greek Games.
- Two words: Liquid heat. Basically, the second half of the film is this on the nerds' part.
- Ten minutes later, Gilbert gets one when he interrupts the Homecoming pep rally to call out the Alpha Betas (probably at risk to his own life).
  - Thirty seconds after that, Dean Ulich gets one when he stands up to Coach Harris for what is obviously the first time in his career.
  - Lewis at the end of the second movie when, after Roger give his "The Reason You Suck" Speech, he responds by punching him into the pool.
Crowning Music of Awesome: Again, the musical number at the Talent Show.
- The use of Queen's "We Are The Champions" at the end of the first movie, arguably the most effective use of the song in any media.
Hollywood Homely: Both the Triple Lambda guys themselves and the Omega Mu girls. Lampshaded by Booger:

The Omega Mu's?! But they're pigs!

Life Imitates Art: While the film series as a whole still has a devoted following; younger, casual movie fans may see the premise as outdated, now that Bill Gates and Paul Allen masterminded the true "Revenge Of The Nerds" in real life. Nerd/geek culture is far more mainstream among men and women today than in the 1980's and early 1990's.
Memetic Mutation:
- "My son, soon you will take over."
- "To truly hock a loogie, one must not retrieve the phlegm from the throat, but from the soul."
- All together now - "NERRRRRRRRRDS!"
- AH, HAHAHAHAHA!
Retroactive Recognition: Gilbert became Doctor Mark Greene.
- Yeah, but that was after he flew with Maverick.
- Booger later tried solving mysteries and enacting revenge.
  - And likewise hanging out with a different set of nerds.
