Line 27:
** Kim Pine sounds monotonous for the most part and in utter contempt for the stupidity of her fellows. Much like [[Daria]].
* [[HSQ]]: Very, very high. Stacey's [[Flat What]] when Patel breaks into a [[Bollywood]] [[Non Sequitur Scene|song and dance number]] is a masterpiece of [[Lampshade Hanging]].
* [[Hype Backlash]]: Calling it an "epic of epic epicness" in promotional material (it didn't sound ironic) and several people hyping it as some kind of crown jewel of nerd culture (see the [[James Cameron]] quote about the original comic), resulted in massive backlash once people watched it and it simply wasn't seen as that good. Most detractors call it a sub-standard romance story that doesnisn't even is that nerdy, generating the popular insult that is for boys what [[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]] is for girls.
* [[It Gets Better]]: The movie opens slowly; over a half-hour passes before the first Evil Ex appears, even longer before [[Big Bad|Gideon]] enters the picture.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "X ruined an entire generation of Y". Originally a lyric of a parody song criticizing stereotypical fourth-wave feminists by comparing their behaviour and fashion to the movie version of Ramona Flowers (thatwho is seen as a cold and abusive girlfriend that doesn't deserve Scott, don't wears very feminine clothes and have dyed hair in unnatural colors, making it look like she is trying to look like a cartoon character), it became invoked ironically or non-ironically used when one single element of something is said to have ruined a entire generation of it. It can be invoked in multiple situations, like trends in movies, literature, sports, live-action, or politics.
* [[MST3K Mantra]]: If you're thinking hard about the movie, you're doing it wrong. Just lean back and laugh.
** This just applied to the crazy out-of-nowhere Evil Ex fights and (though consistent) unexplained 8/16 bit video game logic. The relationships between the characters are done completely seriously.
