31	* EasyEvangelism: The film has a particularly odd scene where Matt gives a 30 second speech where he manages to show he isn't familiar with the first thing about feminist theory, at the same time as convincing a Women's Studies class that StrawFeminist-like feminism is pointless without any objection from the teacher or fellow stuents.

58	* PecFlex: Crick does it to try to intimidate Matt, who decides to twists his nipples instead.

61	* SexySilhouette: Used in the sex scene at the beginning with Matt and his "mysterious girl" only show as silhouettes.
62	* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Cynthia feels this way at times, since any achievements she accomplishes get diminished since she just "got there because she's beautiful". When she gets her face bruised in an accident, she actually finds her real passion in being a self-defense teacher.
63	* SpiritualSequel: ''100 Women'' by the same director is also set in the world of a college-age man trying to find the woman he fell in love with and grows by learning from a number of different women where she lives. Both protagonists have a male friend (roommate then cousin) who is sex-obsessed and hooks up with one of the teaching women.
64	* TheStoner: Matt's roommate Rod acts the part.
65	* StrawFeminist: Matt takes a Women's Studies class. Every time we see him in this class, the camera zooms in to the teacher's underarm hair with a dramatic sound effect. Towards the end of the movie, there's an {{anvilicious}} scene where he tells the teacher that feminism and other "isms" don't help and just creates misunderstanding between people. The entire class (aside from him, entirely female students) breaks into applause for him.
66	* StripPoker: Or rather Strip ''Foosball'', Arlene's favorite game, where you lose one article of clothing whenever the other player scores. Matt ends up naked when playing against her. He later teams up with her on a 2 vs 2 against Crick.
67	* TeenyWeenie: Crick and his friend, when they get stripped naked after losing strip foosball. All the girls laugh and tease him about it. He blames it on the cold.
68	* TheirFirstTime: Matt lost his virginity to a mysterious girl whom he got trapped in an elevator with while a blackout happened. Since he couldn't see what she looked like, he searches for her over the rest of the film.
69	* ThoseTwoGirls: The "Janeites", as Matt nicknames them, are always seen together.
70	* TitleDrop: When Matt gives his AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to the entire dorm.
71	-->'''Matt''': "I went to the Virgin Vault and I declared my love in front of '''100 girls'''."
72	* TongueTrauma: Matt (as Francesca) bites off the tip of Crick's tongue after he tries to give her a ForcefulKiss.
73	* TraumaticHaircut: Crick is forced to cut out his ponytail when Penny and Matt bolt it to the floor.
74	* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Matt as "Francesca" is sexually assaulted and almost raped by Crick, but she bites off the tip of his tongue instead. When Crick comes back at the end of the film, Matt gets up the courage to admit that he was Francesca and proves it by showing that he kept the tip of the tongue preserved to be used as evidence and then reattached. It also inspires other girls from the dorm to come forward, so Crick is less worried about the fact that Francesca is a guy than by his impending arrest.
75	* WholesomeCrossdresser: When Matt discusses his trouble finding his mystery girl, his female best friend suggests crossdressing. He dives right into it with all the enthusiasm of the rest of his intergender musings. When he realized that "Francesca" could get far more emotionally close to the girls around than he could, he decides to keep doing it.
