18	A ComedyTrope where cheerleaders are often shown speaking as if they were cheering in ordinary conversation. They might be doing this as a form of practice, or because they are staying "in character" between games, or because they are just too airheaded to know any other way of communicating. Alternatively, they might be shown cheering at inappropriate events, such as chess matches.

20	See also PomPomGirl, who may be likely to at least [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope due to being a [[ItMakesSenseInContext cheerleader girl]].

Teachers are allowed to bid on students to do various chores for them. The girls are bid on by Logan, the rich JerkAss of the gang who offers to pay all of the money they need. The catch: the girls have to dress up as cheerleaders and follow him around, making him look good. After a few days, the girls get sick of it, and decide the one way to get him to stop is to [[MaliciousCompliance cheer everything he does]]. They cheer him waking up, getting locked out of his dorm room in a towel with shampoo in his hair, and getting shut down by a girl. Eventually, he just gives them the check and begs them to leave him alone!
