Line 8:
Of course, seeing as Strangers With Candy is based entirely on [[Spoof Aesop|Spoof Aesops]], Jerri's intentions of leaving her twisted, drug-addled past behind her never come to fruition. In her own words: "Oh, I'm still doin' the wrong things, but at least I'm doing them the right way." This mockery of after-school specials focuses less on the students and more on the adults concerned with nothing but their own selfish needs.
 
Jerri was based on [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Florrie_Fisher:Florrie Fisher|Florrie Fisher]], and many of Jerri's stories about her past are taken directly from Fisher's film ''The Trip Back'', the inspiration for ''[[Strangers With Candy]]''. Some comparisons [http://www.jerriblank.com/swcmisc.html#florrie here].
 
Sample plot: In the first episode, Jerri attempts to befriend a popular girl by supplying her with homemade drugs. The popular girl winds up in a coma, and Jerri spends much of the episode somewhat in guilt. When the girl dies, it seems as though Jerri will finally own up to what she has done-- but Jerri throws a memorial party instead, gaining the popularity she's wanted all along.
