* {{Nerd}}: Alan. An unusual example in that he's average looking (not attractive and geeked-down) and a poor academic achiever, which puts him more on the "Dweeb" end of the Venn diagram.


Added DiffLines:

* StereotypicalNerd: Alan is average looking, an academic underachiever in a family of overachievers, has poor social skills, and speaks in a high, weird voice.


* {{Nerd}}: Alan. An unusual example of the HollywoodNerd, in that he's average looking (not attractive and geeked-down) and a poor academic achiever, which puts him more on the "Dweeb" end of the Venn diagram.

Added DiffLines:

* StopHelpingMe: Shoop has to say this to Chainsaw and Dave when they try to chime in at his court hearing.


* CoolTeacher: Freddy is maybe a little too cool at times, but enforced in that he's just the gym teacher who was forced to teach remedial English or lose his job.

* GenreDeconstruction: [[spoiler:In the end, not all of the students pass. Even though they all buckled down in the end, it was too little, too late for some of them. That said, they've all gained a new appreciation for academic achievement]].

Added DiffLines:

* MsFanservice: While Pam isn't just eye candy (in fact she's involved in a major subplot), the shot of Courtney Thorne-Smith in a body glove wetsuit was obviously thrown in for this purpose.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: The guys hope that Anna-Maria will be an example of EuropeansAreKinky. During the BeachEpisode, she goes to take off her bikini top but Denise stops her.
-->"Whoa girl, this ain't the Riviera."



* RageBreakingPoint: When Mr. Shoop tells his class to study for the upcoming proficiency test, they laugh at him and ask for more favors. He gets fed up with their slacker attitude and calls them out for the party that nearly burned his house, the legal trouble he got in from taking the fall when two students almost got caught for under age drinking, and the other stuff he already did for them. He then tells them he doesn't care if they fail and get kicked out of school [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere and quits his job.]]
