1* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Ali Larter's whipped cream bikini, which is funny, given that a ''[[HotTeacher different]]'' character actually ''was'' a stripper.
2* HilariousInHindsight: The title of the movie is also the codename for the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_college_admissions_bribery_scandal 2019 college admissions scandal]]. No, the movie isn't about that. The codename is, however, a reference to this film
3* MemeticMutation: "But I don't want your life!" James Van Der Beek even joked that the recipients of the college admission scam named after the film in 2019 should have used the line.
4* MisaimedFandom: In regards to the whipped cream bikini scene, many say that Mox should've hit that or how he shouldn't have been able to resist that. They seem to forget that 1. Mox was in a happy relationship with Jules and 2. Darcy was the girlfriend of Mox's best friend -- his HOSPITALIZED best friend.
5* {{Narm}}: James Van Der Beek's ''utterly absurd'' attempt at a Texas accent is absolutely laughable.
6* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/JessePlemons plays Jules and Lance's younger brother Tommy.
7* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The five wide receiver spread offense Lance and Mox implement in the final game was fairly unheard of at the high school level in the 1990s, which is what makes it so effective against the opposing defense. By the 2020s, the system became commonplace with high schools across the country, with defenses developing their own systems to defend against it.
