Misuse the trope is about moments so overly serious that they become funny


* {{Narm}}: Most the trailers Disney aired promoting the movie mostly focused on what a great time the actors had working on the film and not the actual plot.

* TheScrappy: Most modern reviewers will comment on how creepy and annoying Stephanie is; her [[StalkerWithACrush crush]] on Jeanette is uncomfortable, and her quirkiness is more irritating than endearing.

* TheBandMinusTheFace: Watt and Hurley occasionally perform Minutemen songs together in duo concerts. The two have refused to replace D. Boon with another guitarist for these performances, and instead have rearranged the songs for bass and drums only.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: With the exception of Virgil (who does jump onto being an asshole in the third act but gets better), Charlie, and Zeke, a huge chunk of the cast are popular assholes, the students the Minutemen ''do'' save just become assholes and just like the popular kids, and the staff (''especially'' Vice Principle Tolkan) do nothing about it since it'd be [[StatusQuoIsGod "breaking the food chain"]].

* FanPreferredCouple: Despite Virgil being in love with Stephanie to the point that the film ends with them getting a MaybeEverAfter, you will find next to no fanfiction pairing him with her. Instead, most fans prefer to pair him with either of his co-male leads, Zeke or Charlie. Zeke/Virgil is arguably the most popular due to the chemistry between Creator/JasonDolley and Creator/NicholasBraun and Zeke being the most popular character from the film. Charlie/Virgil is popular because of the large amount of screentime dedicated to their friendship and is also more popular than Charlie's canon relationship with Jeanette.

* HarsherInHindsight: In the early-mid 1980s, "Corona" was written after the band took a day-trip to Mexico during Independence Day in 1982 and D. Boon caught wind of the more downtrodden elements of the area [[note]] the TitleDrop was referring to the beer brand - the morning after, Boon had witnessed a woman picking up empty beer bottles on the beach to bring to a redemption center [[/note]]. In 2020, the song became an unofficial anthem of the [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic COVID-19 pandemic]], as the things that happened during this time period were eerily reminiscent of the song's lyrics.

* SampledUp: "Get Out" by Music/{{Sublime}} samples the drum intro to "It's Expected I'm Gone". The drum part to Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Scentless Apprentice" is also suspiciously similar. The drum part was used yet again by Pinback in their song "Hurley", named after George Hurley.
