* BurgerFool: Brad works at two of these, with varying levels of horribleness. He is fired from the first due to an UnsatisfiableCustomer and quits the second. There is another fast food joint that manages to be even worse; mostly mentioned only in dialogue, it is shown at the beginning of the film when one of its employees, Arnold, tries to operate a milkshake machine, only to have the mixture splashback in his face.

When the film was first released, it received mostly negative reviews from critics who wrote it off as just another teen SexComedy.

* ImagineSpot: Utilized a few different times, when Spicoli fantasizes about winning a surfing championship and Brad imagines Linda coming on to him while [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbating in the bathroom]].

Added DiffLines:

Also appearing in the cast are some unknowns who became much bigger stars. Creator/AnthonyEdwards is the third guy in Spicoli's stoner trio. The big tough football player is Creator/ForestWhitaker. And blink and you'll miss him, but one of the two guys working the grill in the scene where Brad is fired at the fast foot place is Creator/NicolasCage, making his film debut and credited under his real name of Nicolas Coppola.

Linda. Linda notices Brad, who has recently broken up with his girlfriend, and says "God, he hardly even talks anymore." Then he goes into the bathroom and enthusically masturbates to an ImagineSpot fantasy of her topless. Nothing more comes of this.

** GirlfriendInCanada: It's hinted, but not confirmed, that Linda's college-age boyfriend Doug might not exist. A couple of times Linda makes mistakes when talking about him, and her bragging about all the awesome sex she and Doug are having has a strong whiff of HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday.
