* BullyHunter: Max spends the movie getting back at [[TheBully Dobbs, Troy]], and [[SadistTeacher Jindrake]]. It's deconstructed since it only ''angers'' the people he bullied, and since he was supposedly moving away, he made his two best friends (and the rest of the school by extension) targets of the former two, and caused Jindrake's RevengeByProxy. After speaking with the janitor, he realizes all he did was [[DirtyCoward hit and run]] rather than deal with the people who bullied him constructively.

not an example of the trope - it's deliberate - and trope corrected


* IsThisThingStillOn: Jindrake, whenever he tries to make announcements over the TV system.



* WalkingTechbane: Jindrake. To put it simply, whenever he attempts to make the announcements via telemonitor, he usually ends them when pressing the button to turn off the camera, only for it to turn out that he didn't actually turn it off, and usually humiliates himself in the process -- First instance is when he, while bragging about himself in a manner to a movie review, ended up exposing that he was actually faking his image as President of the United States and even being near Washington, and the second instance had him sticking pencils up his nose and referring to himself as a walrus (although this part may have been intentional) -- with his secretary usually telling him that the camera is still on. He does eventually manage to figure it out, though; apparently, he needs to press the button twice for it to turn off.



* WritersCannotDoMath: Jindrake, during his assembly, tells them that he's improving the school's zero tolerance policy to one of subzero tolerance, which is more than zero. However, sub-zero is actually a number even less than zero; in other words, a negative number. Though this is arguably intentional on the film's part, to show that Jindrake isn't particularly adept at making threats.

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Troy [=McGinty=] ''almost'' becomes one once we learn that he was traumatized as a child by the sight of Max's father dressed as a bizarre cartoon character."Almost" because that certainly doesn't justify him being a complete JerkAss a decade later.
