Strangers with Candy: Difference between revisions

* [[Anything That Moves]] - Jerri is frequently being shown as being attracted to men and women, although she rarely does much about the latter. Not to mention her history in Tijuana with Ramone the Donkey.

* [[Author Catchphrase]] - "[[The Colbert Report|Think about it - I haven't.]]"

* [[Big No]] - Orlando at the mall when {{spoiler|Jerri leaves him to return to the cult.}}

* [[Biting the Hand Humor]] - the last episode.

** Two property developers show up at Flatpoint High and repeatedly deny that they're tearing it down and building a strip mall, even as classrooms are demolished and food outlets built in their place. At the end of the episode, the teachers and students [[Trash the Set|go on a rampage of destruction and burn down the school]], with one teacher gloating "They'll never turn it into a strip mall now!" The [[Reality Subtext]]: the property developers were based on two Comedy Central network execs. ''[[Strangers With Candy]]'' was being cancelled, and replaced with a show called ''Strip Mall''.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] - Jerri addresses the camera at the beginning of the episode, and sometimes mid-show ("Let's read it now"). Winona Ryder also does it when she delivers the aesop in the finale.

* [[Catch Phrase]] - "I've got somethin' t' say!"

** Also "But I'll be the laughingstock of Flatpoint Hiiiigh!"

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]

* [[High School]]

** [[Firefly|Wash]] as a cult leader

** [[Stephen Colbert]] as a history and English teacher

** Script typos such as "I'll be back in a shortly" and "This was this one time..."

* [[Trash the Set]] - the final episode

** "I've got 3,000 students and nearly a dozen teachers, surely one of them can prove to be exceptional."

* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]] -- Everyone, but Jerri most of all.
