bashing family guy? YOU'RE SO EDGY!


** In a dark and sick way, this movie plays out in pretty much the same way Meg Griffin's life would on the later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. On the upside, it shows that SethMacFarlane doesn't always steal ideas from ''TheSimpsons'' or ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' for ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.

Alpha Bitch is not a YMMV trope, nor is Ambiguously Gay- you can\'t add objective tropes to the YMMV page because they may or may not count (if that\'s the case, don\'t add them).


* AlphaBitch: Lolita to some viewers. She is Dawn's chief female tormentor but doesn't seem that popular herself. She is first seen eating lunch alone, after all, and may have simply tagged along with the popular girls afterwards.



* AmbiguouslyGay: Some viewers see the boyish-looking Lolita this way, particularly when she targets Dawn in the bathroom.

Discussed in the cleanup thread here.


* CompleteMonster: Lolita is such a sociopath one can't help but feel disgust whenever she walks into frame. However, given the general air of nihilism that permeates through the film, everyone is a suspect.
