Line 40:
* [[Freudian Slip]]: "I'd love to study you. Study ''with'' you."
** It's tit o' clock -- uh, two o' clock.
* [[Gang -Bangers]]: Hamilton and his gang
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: It's MTV, so the radar is screening a lot less, but all the same, seems like whoever approved Amy's comment that "I haven't had this much fun since I found out what the shocker was" probably didn't actually know what the shocker is.
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Sprinkled around the pilot episode.
* [[Growing the Beard]]: As of Season 2, the series seems to be relying more on character development to hook viewers rather than crude humor.
* [[Hey It's That Guy|Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Millicent from [[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]].
** Zeke from [[High School Musical]] plays a random guy on the basketball team.
** Kevin Arnold's dad from [[The Wonder Years]] plays as RJ's principal.
Line 65:
* [[School Play]]: [[Twilight (Literature)|Vamp]] [[West Side Story|Side Story]]
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Lily Miran as does her actress in [[Real Life]].
* [[Shout -Out]]: [[Meaningful Name|Mrs. Robbins]], a friend of RJ's parents and middle-aged woman, lures RJ into her bedroom in an attempt to seduce him. [[The Graduate|This sounds strangely familiar]]...
** While rehearsing for the school musical, the director mentions that [[Pride and Prejudice And Zombies|students don't like reading Jane Austen unless it has zombies in it]].
** Miles' shirt in the lunch scene in The Berger Cometh is from [[Adventureland|a particular Pittsburgh amusement park]].
Line 77:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: "At least he's still got his jockstrap o--" [[Hilarity Ensues|In comes the plot]].
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: The sneak preview for episode 7 of season 2 (the Weezer episode) shows {{spoiler|Amy kissing RJ}}, which is literally the last 5 seconds of the episode.
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: Max. Not only does RJ tell Jenny the truth when {{spoiler|the coach framed him for cheating on Jenny}} he saves him from being the victim of a hit from the [[Gang -Bangers]] {{spoiler|or so he thought}}, yet Max STILL acts like a [[Jerkass]] to him. Although, this is more to play the [[Jerk Jock]] trope straight.
** [[Double Subverted]] in the second season finale - {{spoiler|Max thanks RJ for not revealing he's gay to the student body, but says that it doesn't mean he won't still mess with RJ.}}
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: Jenny and Max. Sure he's the good looking [[Big Man On Campus]] and he at least tries to be nice in front of her but there are still many moments where he acts like a big [[Jerkass]] to her.
