  • Awesome Art:
    • The Animesque episodes.
    • The opening. There's a reason why it's in so many "Best Intros of the 80's" lists.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: In "Miracle at The Teen Club" Buck states "So what? Malls are a dime a dozen these days." Come the 2010's and many indoor malls are struggling to stay in business.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In "Rad to Worse", Radley tells Chanelle she will be the first female president. Later, she says it's "twenty years away". Considering she's both female and black... well, didn't quite make the first part, but still.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Sometimes you feel sorry for Bianca or Pierce when they suffer. Pierce moreso, there are often times when he suffers just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
  • Love to Hate: Bianca may have been an awful Alpha Bitch, but she's the main reason most fans watch the show.
  • Moe:
    • Jillian might qualify.
    • Chester definitely qualifies. He is adorable for being a precocious Lovable Nerd.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • Tracey Moore was Sailor Moon's Usagi/Serena's first voice. She was later replaced by Terri Hawkes during the production of DIC's English version.
    • Mary Long, another Sailor Moon (dub) voice actor also appears in the show.
  • Rooting for the Empire: Some fans admit to cheering for Bianca and/or Pierce to win in the end due to both of them being funny and colorful characters.
  • Squick:
    • Nikki being chased by an old man in "Old at Heart". Granted she was in her old lady disguise but still.
    • Chester making a robot girlfriend who looks 17. Keep in mind, he's maybe 10 years old. And all the guys think he's lucky.
  • Tear Jerker: In "The Dog Ate My Homework", Larke is unable to finish her assignment in time for prom and has to skip it. Troy visits her and throws a lovely rose to her to as a reminder. Larke grabs it, smells it, and breaks down in tears. "I'll be thinking of you too!" Luckily, Chester helps Larke by restoring the floppy disk containing her completed assignment.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Over the top '80s Hair, for starters, then the computer graphics shown...
  • Vanilla Protagonist: The main couple Larke and Troy. They are treated as the ideal girl (Larke) and the ideal guy (Troy) who never make mistakes. Almost all their friends are more flawed and wacky in their own way.
  • The Woobie: Wilshire. Even Pierce pities the guy.
