{{tropelist}}
* [[All Just a Dream]]: {{spoiler|About a third of the movie.}}
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Christie, even years after high school.
* [[Broken Aesop]]: The Aesop of the movie is ostensibly
** Unless you're being frumpy as a defense mechanism because being yourself in a high school setting leaves you open for others to take advantage of you.
* [[The Chain
* [[Class Reunion]]: Duh
* [[Conversational Troping]]: The movie opens with Romy and Michele watching ''[[Pretty Woman]]'' and commenting on one of the [[Tear Jerker]] scenes. They are also rather [[Genre Savvy]] about their own genre: [[High School]] movies and comedy movies in general.
* [[Cover Identity Anomaly]]: Romy and Michelle's claim to be "successful businesswomen" lacks a few vital details; such as what business they are in.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: [[Typecasting|As usual]], [[Janeane Garofalo]]'s character.
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
* [[Kissing Cousins]]: Michele lost her virginity to her cousin Barry.
* [[Marilyn Maneuver]]: The downdraft from Sandy's helicopter gives Christine a very impressive one as the heroines leave.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Romy to Christie:▼
{{quote|What the hell is your problem, Christie? Why the hell are you always such a nasty bitch? I mean, okay, so Michele and I did make up some stupid lie! We only did it because we wanted you to treat us like human beings. But you know what I realized? I don't care if you like us, 'cause we don't like you. You're a bad person with an ugly heart, and we don't give a flying fuck what you think! }}▼
* [[Rebel Relaxation]]: The Cowboy
* [[Right Through the Wall]]: Romy gets to borrow the [[Cool Car]] in return for closing the office blinds and faking [[The Immodest Orgasm]] with the mechanic so his colleagues can hear.
* [[The Slacker]]: Rare female example.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: One L in Michele, people.
▲* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Romy to Christie:

* [[Threesome Subtext]]: Sandy still has a crush on Michele, but doesn't bat an eyelid at her insistence that Romy dance with them as well. At the end, all three of them go home in his helicopter.
* [[Throw It In]]: Lisa Kudrow (who, let the record show, [[Genius Ditz|has a biology degree from Vassar]]) made up the entire glue formula on the spot.
