This is what is known as a ''comedic'' premise. The theories are not meant to be serious. The entries are written ''as if'' someone believes them.

If you are tempted to make an entry refuting a theory, the discussion pages are there for that purpose. The article itself should be used for tongue-in-cheek "proofs" and "evidence" supporting the theory, or for yet wilder theories.

The dead serious theories, the crazy-yet-scarily-accurate theories, and the out-there-with-no-basis theories all fit in WMG. '''Don't remove them just because they are {{Jossed}} or had barely any relation to reality'''.

* This is either FridgeBrilliance or [[{{Tropers/Teknomage}} me]] being slow on the uptake. In the scene where Rosie has a viewing party, Dylan uses his phone to take a picture of Brianna's chest. This basically makes him seem like a jerk, and is used to garner sympathy for Izzie (from both her mom and the audience). However, a few days after watching the movie it occurred to me that not long before that, Izzie had told her mom that she and her friends had gotten Dylan to play [[ParlorGames Truth or Dare]]. It's possible Dylan had received a dare to do what he did, which Izzie probably wouldn't have heard if it happened while she was talking with her mom. Which makes sense if you consider that right as that conversation was ending, Dylan and a friend of his came up to the two of them wanting to make sure Brianna was going to be at the party. The timing of their question could indicate the dare had just been made a moment ago. I'm not sure how much any of this would mitigate Dylan's jerkdom at accepting the dare, but if he was only doing it out of a desire to play by the rules of the game Izzie herself had wanted him to play... *shrug*
* To contrast the above example, I provide the following as an example of my ''definitely'' being slow on the uptake, and not at all as clever as a refrigerator: It was a few days after seeing the movie before it suddenly occurred to me that what Izzie and Mel said in the scene where they made a crank call to Matthew Perry was based on the theme song from his [[{{Friends}} show]].

This needs to be emphasized. Several tropers are deleting valid entries because they are jossed or have barely any relation to reality when this note says otherwise.
