12!This Web Series provides examples of:
13
14* BottleEpisode: Episode 2, "Snowed In", near exclusively takes place in the school library, and literally deals with the students being trapped there. Somewhat subverted, as the library set has not been seen before or since.
15* {{Bowdlerise}}: Nicole's school put on a version of The Sound of Music. Without Nazis.
16* CreatorCameo: In Episode 4, one of the show's creators appears as a newscaster in a flashback.
17* ElectionDayEpisode: Rob Dole acts like this since the pilot. Most people ignore him.
18* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Kim is introduced narrating the weird goings-on, Nicole is introduced trying to befriend Kim and talking about her own boyfriend and their Greek life, Charlie is introduced by pulling out a wand from her hair and talking about a lizard conspiracy, Rob is introduced by narrating his platform and ignoring what Kim says, and the Adams is introduced by not caring where people sit. The school even gets into it, the first teacher - Biology- is introduced by doing a "Syllabus Rap".
19* {{Expy}}: By {{Word of God}}, Kim is essentially a GenderFlip of Jim Halpert from Series/TheOfficeUS. Even her last name is Halpert.
20** Episode 4 makes a passing reference to a pop sensation "Maya Iowa", which is a pretty obvious reference to Series/HannahMontana.
21* FratBro: With his tank tops, backwards caps, and love of all things frat, Nick certainly comes across like this.
22* GenderBlenderName: Charlie, the geek, is a girl.
23* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Whenever Kim narrates an episode, she's writing an email to an old friend. The friend is never seen or referenced outside of the emails, and the exact nature of their relationship is left unclear.
24* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Kim's boyfriend from High School and early college. He dropped her when his book was getting big. He explicitly called her his "training wheels". This is after she was a big influence in helping him get his book together and off the ground.
25* NewTransferStudent: We find out why in "Kim's Backstory"
26* NoodleIncident: Whenever Adams walks in, expect some story on what is going on. It usually involves wolves.
27* OnlySaneMan: Kim, who routinely comments on how things the other characters do don't make sense.
28* OverlyLongName: The name of Nick's fraternity is often eight Greek letters or more, compared to most frats that are two or three. It's name also changes every time it's mentioned.
29* ProperlyParanoid: "Snowed In" implies Yeti are real. And Charlie was defending against them.
30* RedScare: invoked in Dole-lusion. Robert's parents are immigrants from the Soviet Union. It's also averted pretty quickly.
