* AwkwardPoetryReading: There's a joke about Janey's StalkerWithACrush Ricky writing a creepy love poem, where he confesses to stealing her hair, and reciting it in front of the class. It ends with him in tears and the class thoroughly disturbed. This isn't the first time he did this as one student says, "Not again" after hearing that the poem was about Janey. Even the teacher was reluctant to call on Ricky, only doing when it was clear none of the other students wanted to recite a poem.

''Not Another Teen Movie'' is a 2001 AffectionateParody striving to do to HighSchool movies what ''Film/ScaryMovie'' did for horror. It shared some of the same creators, none of whom were Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg, instead they're specifically Phil Beauman and Buddy Johnson.

The basic plot was taken from ''Film/ShesAllThat'', but it also parodied ''Film/AmericanPie'', ''Film/CantHardlyWait'', ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' and dozens of others. Including a parody of the Creator/HeathLedger singing scene from ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'' that leads to the [[HollywoodHomely Pretty Ugly Girl]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice being tasered]].

Notably, this was the film debut of Creator/ChrisEvans.
