Nice Hat is now dewicked


* NiceHat: Geoff's instantly attracted to one he sees on a store mannequin that reminds him of a cool cab driver he and Erica met once. Other people agree that it's nice, with Erica supporting the purchase and some students at the college campus inviting him to a party because of it, but Barry hates it (mostly because the rest of the JTP except for him have also taken steps to improve themselves and become more popular).

* MakeoverMontage: Done when Barry asks Erica to give him a bad makeover to show the JTP how lame their own outfits are. She gives him a series of ridiculous outfits, but Barry thinks they're too cool; it's only when she gives him a stylish preppy ensemble that he's convinced he's lame enough.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut:
** When Geoff tells Erica to look at the hat, she thinks he means the mannequin next to it and tells him that it's not going to come to life like in ''Film/{{Mannequin}}''.
** Among the outfits Erica tries on Barry are [[Series/TheDukesOfHazzard Boss Hogg]] [[note]]or "Boss Pig from that show witih the gal whose entire character is she wears jeans shorts", as Pops puts it[[/note]] and the oversized suit worn by Music/DavidByrne in ''Film/StopMakingSense''.
