[[caption-width-right:350:Recognize them?]]
One guy with a crush. One hottie with a brain he's out to impress. One sociopathic school bully. One wild night full of dares that could potentially land the doer in jail. It's Dirty Deeds, the 2005 raunchy teen comedy that relies on the most basic of tropes and has the most predictable plot. Full of {{Retroactive Recognition}} galore and a laughably exaggerated spin on the teen comedy genre, this movie follows Zach on his quest to win over his brainy beauty after her dorky younger brother agrees to take on the school bully by engaging in dares to prove he's tough. To get her brother off the hook, he does the deeds and ends up getting way more than he bargained for. . . like an ex criminal friend, a model's bra and most importantly, the girl. Cliches follow.

* {{Adults are Useless}}: Officer Dill actually leaves the protection of the ''entire student body'' to the jocks, and even refers to them as the leaders of the school. Law enforcement. Leaves the jocks. Who terrorize everyone. To make sure nobody does the Dirty Deeds. Let that sink in.
* {{An Aesop}}: Duncan Rime, who turns out to be [[spoiler: Stash]], gives a speech to the kids about how being cool in high school is generally worthless once you transition out of the high school bubble.
* {{An Arm and a Leg}}: Played for laughs with the elderly officer, especially when he falls victim to {{Male Gaze}} upon seeing [[spoiler: Meg]] flash him to save Zach.

* {{Callback}}: Jen announced that Rachel Buff is giving out awards the next day at the carnival. One of the deeds sees Zach having to get a homecoming queen's bra. Guess who he just happens to run into while at a bar?
* {{Dark and Troubled Past}}: Although Zach takes the heat from Principal Fuchs most of the time, Zach is pretty much the good evil. Its implied that this is because his father is not around, as evidenced from a conversation with Fuchs when he says he couldn't reach Zach's father.
* {{Even Evil Has Standards}}: Zach saves an elderly blind man from eating the bread he [[spoiler: masturbated into]] and kidnaps an [[spoiler: dead man]] with no family or friends for a deed.

* {{Hypocritical Humor}}: One of the deeds sees Zach having to steal a homecoming queen's bra. He hits up a woman and asks, but she rebuffs him saying he's sick. Cut to her in dominatrix garb with her "slave."
