* MalAProper: Johnny Nogerelli, whose verbal garbling produces gems such as turning "menstruation" into "mentalstration".
* MustNotDieAVirgin: Intentionally invoked and set to music, with the song "Let's Do It For Our Country". Louis brings Sharon down to the bomb shelter, where a confederate sounds the bomb siren to make her think it's TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. Cue an incredibly [[{{Narm}} Narmful]] song where she sings about volunteering for the war, contrasting with his rather less patriotic intentions. Then she realizes the siren has stopped, opens the shelter door, and trips over his friends listening at the door.

The new kid Michael is a nerd. A hopeless nerd! And furthermore, he's in love with Stephanie, who as a Pink Lady can only go with a T-Bird. Naturally, the solution is to find out what she wants in a man and become it, regardless of cost or effort. But Michael succeeds so wildly he ends up upstaging the T-Birds, impressing the whole school, and becoming so awesome that Stephanie [[{{Wangst}} starts to question]] whether she wouldn't rather just have the [[BeYourself normal nerdy guy]] who keeps helping her with her essays. When Michael finally [[TheReveal reveals]] his [[BadassBookworm true identity]], he gets the girl and the acceptance he so craves. Hooray!

Also features a talent-show act with [[FetishRetardant girls trying to act sexy while dressed as Christmas trees and jack-o'lanterns]], and [[InformedAttribute almost]] [[InformedEmotion every]] [[InformedFlaw instance]] of informed or [[DesignatedHero designated]] [[DesignatedVillain anything]].
