* DisproportionateRetribution: A minor complaint about the cleanliness of the school bathroom during a school spirit pep rally causes the previous Student President to fall into a seizure (apparently induced by some sort of control chip), alarm klaxons sound, and a group of armored SWAT team looking security guards rush the stage to arrest and remove the Student President from the stage. The school's floating camera drones then announce that the Student President has been removed from power for a "loss of spirit" and replacement candidates for a new election will be picked from the gathered student body.

Added DiffLines:

When the school president has a breakdown, an election is called for a replacement. Zim enters, in the belief that the position will grant him power. To counter this, Dib (who is rejected as a candidate) backs secondary candidate Willy, a drooling moron who needs his help just to form coherent sentences.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Whoever wins the position of school president ends up being brainwashed into a preppy drone.
* BrickJoke: During one of the debates, Zim has GIR shower the crowd with salted nuts from his head. At the end of the episode, he has GIR pelt Dib with those same nuts.
* ButtMonkey: Dib gets muzzled twice, is shown to be so unpopular that saying something nice about him gets Willy pelted with garbage, and ultimately his efforts to beat Zim in the election just ends up doing the Irken a favor.
* ElectionDayEpisode: Admittedly it's just a school election, but it's treated as SeriousBusiness.
* EvilIsPetty: Zim takes the time to rub into Dib's face the fact that he inadvertently saved Zim by interfering in the election.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: By keeping Zim from winning the election, Dib accidentally saves him from getting brainwashed.
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The school principal and his staff are presented as this, meeting in a shadowy room and using brainwashing to forward their agenda.
* RunningGag: Zim lists the size of Dib's head as a major issue during one of the debates.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Miss Bitters can't be in the sunlight without burning.
