History Film / RoadTrip

* GeekyAnalogy:

* PowerWalk: Towards the end. Played for laughs with Kyle stumbling and almost falling.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Purely for the purpose of selling the results for gas money.
** At the start of the film, when they go to get Kyle, EL suspects he's in the middle of this. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments He's right.]]

Josh's long-term, long-distance girlfriend Tiffany has got silent on him, and so, believing she is dumping him, he accepts the advances of the beautiful Beth Wagner. The next morning, after Beth has left, Josh's friends E.L., Rubin Carver and Barry Manilow (not ''the'' [[NamesTheSame Barry Manilow]], mind you) come to investigate. Josh reveals that Beth videotaped their amorous adventures, evidence that his friends demand to see. [[UnfortunateItemSwap Of course, the tape sitting on the TV contains a romantic message Josh recorded for Tiffany - the "sex with Beth tape" is in an envelope winging its way to Austin, Texas.]] Right as this realization sinks in, the phone rings - it's Tiffany, apologizing for not answering Josh's calls, as her beloved grandfather just died suddenly. Josh realizes there's only one option: get to Austin before the envelope and prevent Tiffany from ever seeing it.

Thus begins the wacky adventures of Josh, E.L., Rubin and Kyle - the one who actually owns the car - as they travel 1800 miles to try and save Josh's relationship. A quest that will take them through jumping broken bridges in a Ford Taurus, pretending to be members of a national black fraternity, stealing a schoolbus from a blind chick and discovering why you shouldn't send food back at greasy-spoon diners.

* MaleGaze: During the ShowerScene, a woman is explaining how AllMenArePerverts. As she continues the explaination the camera zooms in on her breasts, until they're all we can see. When another girl picks up the thread of her complaints, the camera pans over to her - still with an extremely tight focus on her breasts.

* AllMenArePerverts: Mentioned in the ShowerScene by a topless woman.

* DontExplainTheJoke: Kyle's joke about dogs and their testicles goes awry because of him repeating the punch line.

* TheQuest

* VomitDiscretionShot: Josh's girlfriend is about to vomit during his nightmare vision, but then wakes up.

* MusicalisInterruptus: The dramatic music during the OrbitalKiss at the end stops with a RecordNeedleScratch when Barry and the red-haired lady come to their senses.

* RevengeIsADishBestServed: The asshole cook that gets upset about Kyle asking him to take the sugar off his toast (a very mild request said very meekly by the nicest guy of the protagonists in a complete inversion of UnsatisfiableCustomer) retaliates by ''licking'' the sugar off and then ''shitting'' on the toast before handing it back. What is more disgusting is the fact that Kyle never figures this out and actually likes the taste.
