3
4	----
5	!!This episode provides examples of:
6
7	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Ms. Bennett's attempt to explain their trip to the mall is meant for education's sake is derailed the moment she catches sight of the "Fuzzy Wuzzy Wee Bits" store.
8	* BlackComedyRape: Discussed when Daria and Jane mention a ''Sick, Sad World'' episode about a woman who got molested by a kangaroo.
9	* {{Blackmail}}: Daria to Quinn, when she catches her skipping school to go to the mall.
10	** Jodie to the mall executives when they're caught spying on the class for an unpaid focus group session.
11	-->'''Jodie:''' I feel used. I feel abused. I feel that this is ''not'' a fun mall after all, and the media should be made aware of it.
12	-->'''Executive:''' All right, little lady. Here's a coupon for a free frozen yogurt.
13	-->'''Jodie:''' ''Don't'' insult me.
14	* EarlyBirdCameo: You can see the Gupty parents on the monorail to the Mall of the Millennium.
15	* EveryoneHasStandards: After Kevin tries to pass off stealing something from the Doo Dad Shop as "shrinkage," Brittany angrily drags him offscreen (implied to be in the direction of the store to return what Kevin took).
16	* TheGadfly: When Jane and Daria find out that Jane's coupon is for a hair salon, they start making the stylist uncomfortable by suggesting hairstyles inspired by people getting attacked by feral animals. It works so well that Jane manages to make the store give her cash to get her out.
17	* GotVolunteered: The show's usual variant: Daria says something, and somehow it's interpreted as her suggesting a school activity she hates (in this case, a field trip to the mall).
18	* HehHehYouSaidX: Kevin has this reaction at Mrs. Bennet's lecture.
19	-->'''Kevin''': Mackdaddy, did you hear what Mrs. B. called the mall?\
20	'''Mack''': She said "organism". That's NOT the same as "orgasm". And stop calling me that, ok?!\
21	'''Kevin''': ''(beat)'' Babe, did you hear what Mrs. B. called the mall? ''(starts making out with Brittany)''
22	* HormoneAddledTeenager: During the entire trip, Upchuck has tried to hit on Daria and Jane by telling them that he was given his father's credit card to buy a bikini for his assistant. For the rest of the episode, Upchuck only talks about bikinis.
23	* HourglassPlot: The episode starts with Quinn begging her parents to take her to the Mall of the Millennium and them refusing because it's too far away. After skipping school with the Fashion Club and getting blackmailed by Daria when she's spotted, Quinn is less than excited when Jake and Helen decide to surprise the girls with a trip to the mall next weekend (Daria is also unenthused due to the humiliating photo she's in at the Doo Dad Shop).
24	* {{Hypocrite}}: Mrs. Bennet tries to keep her class focused to get on time to the meeting with the mall executives and prohibits Upchuck from getting distracted on the way there... until she sees a Fuzzy Wuzzy Ribbit shop. She arrives at the meeting with a big bag of merchandise.
25	* IKnowYoureWatchingMe: Daria and Jane turn off the lights in the mall managers' conference room, correctly guessing that the class is being watched through a two-way mirror.
26	* InnocentlyInsensitive: While discussing all the differently colored levels in the mall, Jane snarks about them not reaching Puke Green and then quickly apologizes to Daria for forgetting she just threw up.
27	* {{Irony}}: At the beginning of the episode, Helen forbids Quinn from going to the mall, causing Quinn to miss classes to go with her friends. After Daria discovers it, Helen and Jake suggest going to the mall, and they are surprised to see that the two of them are not enthusiastic in the least.
28	* MakeOutKids: Brittany and Kevin start to make out on their seats, to Mack and Jodie's annoyance.
29	-->'''Jodie''': You think I would dishonor [[UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr Dr. King's memory]] if I went to seat in the back of the bus?\
30	'''Mack''': At least he is not singing.\
31	''(Kevin starts humming while making out)''
32	* NotSoAboveItAll: To Daria's frustration, even Jodie and Jane accept the bribe from the mall executives for the focus group incident.
33	* OhCrap:
34	** The mall executives get frazzled when Daria accurately guesses the class is being used for market research without their consent.
35	** Quinn actually screams when she realizes the girl the Fashion Club wants to give a makeover to is Daria.
36	--->'''Daria''' (''smirking''): Good to see you, too.
37	* TemptingFate: Jody and Mack are disgusted having Kevin and Brittney make out in the seat behind them. Mack notes that at least Kevin stopped singing. He then resumes ''humming'' Ninety Nine Bottles of Beer while making out.
38	* UmpteenthCustomer: Daria gets her picture taken with a crowd of eager salespeople because she's the 10,000th customer. Never mind the fact that she just wanted to redeem her coupon and get out of there as efficiently as possible.
39	* VomitDiscretionShot: When Daria throws up on the monorail.
