Context YMMV / TeenGirlSquad

Go To

1* {{Adorkable}}: All of the girls exhibit this when it comes to boys but What's Her Face can barely get a relatable sentence out when she tries to court someone.
2-->'''What’s Her Face:''' Uh... hi. I like music, and um, cloth.
3* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Many fans believe that the Arrow'd Guy is a [[{{VoluntaryShapeshifting}} shapeshifter]] or a force of nature, thanks to him appearing in almost every issue, taking on a different form each time. Even the Homestar Runner Wiki believes he may actually be [[GenderBender So and So's stepmom]]. However, given that [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext this is a comic]] [[DadaComics written by Strong Bad...]]
4* EnsembleDarkhorse: The title characters are this within the ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' body of work.
5** The Arrow'd Guy, mostly because he often appears out of nowhere to kill the girls in hilarious ways.
6* FridgeBrilliance:
7** Why does So and So think of Tompkins as [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys "such a renegade"]]? She's an overachiever. Any boy who doesn't live up to her extremely high academic standards would be a rebel from her point of view.
8** In Issue 12, Cheerleader gets valentine (sorry, "valemtime") cards from every football player except one. Quarterman is probably the one player who didn't give her a card, considering he turned down her advances in Issue 4.
9* HilariousInHindsight: In an Easter egg from Issue 13, Peacey P is somehow "a guest star on [his] own album, y'all biscuitheads!" Over a decade later, at the end of 2019, Music/{{Kesha}} revealed the track list to ''High Road'', including a track where she actually guest stars on her own album.
10* HollywoodHomely: The Ugly One, despite her name, isn't really that ugly compared to the other characters. However, she compensates by being [[ThePigPen unhygienic]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric]], and generally off-putting.
11* MemeticMutation:
12** This series brought us the various permutations of "[Something]'d!", used to describe things that come out of nowhere to kill or injure the girls (such as "ARROWED!", "MSG'D!", and "MANIAC IN A SPEEDO'D!") Most of the non-sequiturs in ''Teen Girl Squad'' are easily quotable, especially "My blood hurts" and "Wave 'O Babies".
13** "X is no place for a mighty warrior."
14* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: ''Teen Girl Squad'' was well-liked by actual teenage girls. Moreover, it was mainly with the unpopular girls that related most to What's Her Face, the ButtMonkey of the group. It helps that the series mocked the "high school hierarchy" that they were victims of.
15* NightmareFuel:
16** Mr. Pitters getting eaten alive by vultures in TGS #9.
17** What's Her Face's raccoon bunkmate in TGS #11 has a sickly appearance and voice. It's made all the worse when she asks What's Her Face to give her multiple shots.
18--->''Hiya, bunkmate...do you love me?''
19* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Many references date this series to the [[TurnOfTheMillennium early to mid 2000s]], such as the girls' gratuitous use of LeetLingo and Cheerleader texting with a [[TechnologyMarchesOn slide phone]] in Issue 12. The tenth issue from October 2005 has So and So mentioning Creator/TheWB which would go off the air less than a year later.
20* UnpopularPopularCharacter: What's Her Face is the ChewToy of the comic and even when she doesn't die still suffers a lot, likely because of that she's the most popular of the girls within the fandom.
21* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: While [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner the cartoon it spun off from]] was a bit tame, despite the occasional risqué humor, the NightmareFuel, and LateToThePunchline moments, this one isn't, if only for the aforementioned FamilyUnfriendlyViolence.
22** Granted, it's incredibly [[StylisticSuck poorly-drawn]] FamilyUnfriendlyViolence, and the ESRB rated the second episode of ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople'' E10+ despite the inclusion of a make-your-own TGS comic, so...
