''Teen Girl Squad'' is a spinoff sub-series of ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', in which (canonically) Strong Bad draws, in [[Stylistic Suck|comically bad style]], a stick-figure cartoon depicting the misadventures of four [[Department of Redundancy Department|"teenage girls between the ages of thirteen and nineteen"]]. The main characters include Cheerleader (the de facto leader of the group, an [[Alpha Bitch]] wannabe whose popularity is all in her head), So and So ([[Ditzy Genius|an overachieving brainiac who lacks common sense]]), What's Her Face ([[Deadpan Snarker|the cynic of the group]], as well as the token poor person, and by far the least popular of the four girls), and The Ugly One (who seems to possess [[The Pig Pen|suspect hygiene]] and a [[Cloudcuckoolander|strained relationship with reality]] among other things, but is more popular than What's Her Face).
 
There are fifteen toons in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131112104104/http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgsmenu.html main series], and [http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Teen_Girl_Squad a number of other appearances elsewhere] (most notably, the first three episodes of ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]'' each feature an exclusive ''TGS'' toon, the first two of which are [[Choose Your Own Adventure|interactive]]).
 
Generally speaking, the characters go on various bizarre misadventures, which usually lead to them dying or otherwise being affected in very strange ways (usually announced loudly) in every episode, which include such things as...
Line 28:
* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]: Issue 12 gives us the two hipster kids who decide "She Likes Cloth" would make a good band name. Also, when the girls are forming a band, So And So suggests "Smartly Pretty", but is shot down in favour of "Kissyboots".
* [[Against My Religion]]: "Thank groodness. Sweating is against several of my religions!" -Cheerleader in Issue 14
* [[All Cheering, All the Time]]: Cheerleader Brian
* [[All Girls Like Ponies]]: In the [[Christmas Episode|Decemberween Special]], the text on Cheerleader's intro card is "wants a pony".
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: So and So has shown an attraction to Tompkins, considering him a "renegade", though he's more or less your typical high school slacker.
Line 56:
** ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Homestar Ruiner]]'''s ''Teen Girl Squad'' (basketball).
** ''4 Gregs'' (football).
* [[Blatant Lies]]: In issue 15, when Manolios Ugly One tells [[Dungeons and& Dragons|Dn'D]] Greg to not lay a finger on his daughter (if he does so he'll gut him like a sheep), a random gutted sheep says that it isn't so bad... when it turns out to be bad. Also, in the same issue, Arrow'd Guy claims that What's-Her-Face will come into her own in college... and then immediately afterward shoots her down with a flock of sparrows. ''"A new twist on an old classic!"''
* [[Bottomless Pit]]: Their school has one (named after its sports team, of course)
* [[Girl of the Week|Boy of the Week]]/TemporaryLoveInterest - Most of the Girls' boyfriends, though Sci-Fi Greg and What's Her Face seem to have a more off-and-on relationship.
Line 140:
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: The Ugly One: "Whoa! Did I draw that new hotness?"
** And Dn'D Greg looks awful good in a tux.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: All of Dn'D Greg's references to ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' are accurate and well-researched.
** Averted with the 12-sided die that looks nothing like a dodecahedron. This is likely because of Strong Bad [[Did Not Do the Research|not doing the research]].
* [[Show Within a Show]]
