-->-- ''Avenging ComicBook/SpiderMan'' #12
Creator/JohnHughes's ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' was one of the biggest hits of TheEighties and helped codify the modern teen movie. It's no wonder that many works like to reference it by invoking the film's [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/600full-the-breakfast-club-poster_5072.jpg iconic poster]], either within the work itself or as part of its advertising.
Indications that the poster is being referenced include:
* A group of at least five characters with distinct appearances sitting on the floor, in close proximity to each other, positioned in two or three rows.
* The characters mimicking the poses on the poster, especially if they share surface similarities to the ''Breakfast Club'' archetypes. In fact, the way the characters are arranged and posed already evoke their high-school stereotypes, which could partially be why the poster is so influential. In particular:
** One character in the back row bending their elbow like Creator/JuddNelson as Bender.
** One character in the foreground laying on the floor with their arm supporting their head like Creator/MollyRingwald as Claire.
* A tagline about how these disparate individuals came together.
* The work is a DetentionEpisode or a WholePlotReference to the film.
* The work is about teens or other young people -- bonus points if they're an actual BreakfastClub. As the ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2'' poster proves, however, this is not a requirement.

The characters of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' are reimagined as school stereotypes and posed similarly. The aloof Mikasa (something like a {{Goth}}) is Allison, the cocky Jean is Bender, the {{Nerd}}y Armin is Brian, the burly Reiner (a jock) is Andrew, and the high-status Krista (a cheerleader) is Claire.

* The documentary ''Film/AmericanTeen'''s poster is a direct send-up of ''The Breakfast Club'', since it is fittingly about an AllStereotypeCast of a "rebel", a "queen bee/princess", a "jock", a "heartthrob", and a "geek/gamer".

The only character who doesn't share surface characteristics to a ''Breakfast Club'' character is Ned, who's cocking a cowboy hat in the back.

Creator/JohnHughes's ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' was one of the biggest hits of TheEighties and helped codify the modern teen movie. It's no wonder that many works like to reference it by invoking the film's [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/600full-the-breakfast-club-poster_5072.jpg iconic poster]], either within the work itself or as part of its advertising.
Indications that the poster is being referenced include:
* A group of at least five characters with distinct appearances sitting on the floor, in close proximity to each other, positioned in two or three rows.
* The characters mimicking the poses on the poster, especially if they share surface similarities to the ''Breakfast Club'' archetypes. In fact, the way the characters are arranged and posed already evoke their high-school stereotypes, which could partially be why the poster is so influential. In particular:
** One character in the back row bending their elbow like Creator/JuddNelson as Bender.
** One character in the foreground laying on the floor with their arm supporting their head like Creator/MollyRingwald as Claire.
* A tagline about how these disparate individuals came together.
* The work is a DetentionEpisode or a WholePlotReference to the film.
* The work is about teens or other young people -- bonus points if they're an actual BreakfastClub. As the ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2'' poster proves, however, this is not a requirement.

The characters of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' are reimagined as school stereotypes and posed similarly. The aloof Mikasa (something like a {{Goth}}) is Allison, the cocky Jean is Bender, the {{Nerd}}y Armin is Brian, the burly Reiner (a jock) is Andrew, and the high-status Krista (a cheerleader) is Claire.

** [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/7/70215/6410081-4107271881-17860.jpg One variant cover]] of ''Archie Marries Veronica'' puts Veronica, Jughead, Archie, Betty, and Reggie as Allison, Bender, Brian, Claire, and Andrew respectively.
** A variant of ''Veronica'' #293 (marketed as ''Kevin Keller'' #3) has Betty, Reggie, Archie, Kevin, and Jughead in the aforementioned positions.
* ''ComicBook/AvengersArena'''s [[https://i.imgur.com/pefge06.jpg issue 6 cover]] references both ''The Breakfast Club'' and ''Series/{{Survivor}}'', with the characters dressed up as the latter and posing as the latter.
* In ''The Avenging ComicBook/SpiderMan'' #12, Peter and ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} explore Peter's dreams to find out who is trying to infiltrate his brain. At one point, Peter dreams characters into ''The Breakfast Club'', which is introduced [[https://i1.wp.com/www.bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/115.jpg?resize=600%2C447&ssl=1 with a shout-out]] to the original poster. Peter is Brian, redheaded love interest Mary Jane is Claire, jock frenemy Flash is Andrew, Deadpool himself is Bender...and he doesn't know who Allison is, so the person impersonating her must be the villain. It turns out to be Hypno-Master.

* The documentary ''Film/AmericanTeen'''s poster is a direct send-up of ''The Breakfast Club'', since it is fittingly about an AllStereotypeCast of a "rebel", a "queen bee/princess", a "jock", a "heartthrob", and a "geek/gamer". These slot into the ''Breakfast Club'' roles you'd expect, except for the "rebel" in Allison's position and Bender's position being taken by the "heartthrob".
* ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne'' released a whole slew of posters that were send-ups of iconic posters, [[https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/readyplayerone-tributeposter-highres-breakfastclub-1520373880.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:* including]] one of ''The Breakfast Club''.
* ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', which is [[GenreMashup part teen movie]], released a couple of posters referencing ''The Breakfast Club'' and ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''. The [[https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/SMH_DOM_Online_1SHT_Club_AOJ_01.jpg former]] puts nerdy protagonist Peter in Brian's position, popular girl Liz in Claire's position, snarky outcast Michelle in Allison's position, and academic bully Flash in Andrew's position. The only character who doesn't share surface characteristics to a ''Breakfast Club'' character is Ned, who's cocking a cowboy hat in the back.
* [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51z%2BQw4bttL.jpg This]] ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2'' poster spoofs ''The Breakfast Club'' by posing the chainsaw killers like the characters.

The episode [[https://www.glamour.com/story/riverdale-season-3-episode-4-recap is chock-full]] of references to the film.
