* {{Narm}}:
** The aforementioned use of "Hide and Seek" became this largely due to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmd1qMN5Yo0 a Digital Short]] on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' that parodied the scene.
** Luke's "Welcome to the OC, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!" line became this thanks to the ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'' parody turning it into a RunningGag.
** Marissa's meltdown in the season two premiere where she screams at her mom and throws their furniture into the pool.

* MemeticMutation: Overdramatizing murder scenes with slow motion and Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek." [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers!)]]In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saEzQcayEPM the climactic scene]] of the second season finale, "The Dearly Beloved", Marissa shoots Trey Atwood in the back to stop him from killing Ryan. As soon as the bullet hits, "Hide and Seek" begins playing, inadvertently replacing all of the drama with unintentional hilarity thanks to the sudden and [[{{SoundtrackDissonance}} out-of-place]] soundtrack. The meme only grew when ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' did a sketch parodying the scene.[[/labelnote]]

** Downplayed with Season 2. While it doesn't measure up to the same quality as season 1, it has been VindicatedByHistory in recent years by fans who felt like the season had plenty of entertaining moments. That being said, certain storylines like Lindsay's relationship with Ryan, Jimmy literally floating on a boat for the first half of the season, and Rebecca's arc aren't as well regarded.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Taylor Townsend, post-HeelFaceTurn. She's either loved for her personality post-CharacterDevelopment and promotion to the main cast in Season 4 (and for [[spoiler:replacing Marissa as Ryan's One True Love]]), or hated for those exact reasons.
* BLAM: Ryan and Marissa sharing a cigarette in the pilot, since the network would only allow that single scene and neither of them smokes for the rest of the series, it comes off as very odd.
