Undergrads: Difference between revisions

* [[Initiation Ceremony]]: Subverted with Rocko's fraternity. The college banned embarrassing hazing rituals, so they just have a get-together party. Rocko refuses to believe there is no hazing, believing it all to be a [[Secret Test of Character]], so he goes out and does several bizarre, humiliating acts in the name of his frat.

* [[Jerk Jock]]: Rocko has this persona, despite not being an athlete. He is quite burly, though.

* [[Kavorka Man]]: While Cal is attractive and good-natured, the sheer amount of women he attracts is obscene.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Pretty much everyone. Nitz however favors the "closet full of the same outfit" version of the trope, as shown in the last episode when Cal gives out his clothes to girls after sleeping with them.

** This is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the final episode.

{{quote| '''Brody''': I feel like I haven't cracked a textbook or seen the inside of a classroom all year.}}

* [[Reality Subtext]] / [[Write Who You Know]]: All of the characters are based on the creator and his best friends and people he met in college. In fact Jessie is voiced by the actual woman she's based on.

* [[Right Behind Me]]: Nitz says right after calling Rocko a terrible friend.

* [[Serious Business]]: For Gimpy, ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[The X-Files]]'' and ''[[Quake]]''. For all of the gang, ''[[Risk]]''.

* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: When Gimpy introduces Cal to his RA we suddenly see her with no glasses, hair down, in a cut-off shirt and [[Who Wears Short Shorts?|daisy dukes]]. Later in the episode she takes geek chic [[Dominatrix|to a whole new level]].

** The show's theme song is the [[Good Charlotte]] song "''The Click''" - At one point in the series, they're playing a show at State U & when Nitz is told this, he questions where he knows them from.

** One of the girls in "Drunks" is wearing [[Space Channel 5|Ulala's costume]].

* [[Slice of Life]]

* [[Soapbox Sadie]]: Kimmy, especially in the episode "Financial Aid".

* [[Take That]]: Rocko has a homoerotic dream about Cal. When Nitz starts to say that it may not have been homoerotic, Rocko immediately asserts that Keanu Reeves was there.

* [[Talking to Himself]]: Almost all of the male characters are all voiced by the same guy.
