* ''ComicBook/{{Futurama}}:'' Spoofed in one issue where the crew are forced to re-attend high school. When they refuse, they're dragged off by the Detention-bot, only to find the cast of the original film already there. The Detention-bot shoos them out, telling them to "find somewhere else to overcome your differences and bond!"

Cool Loser cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* The main characters in ''Film/TheFaculty'' are all explicit [[ShoutOut Shout-Outs]] to characters in ''The Breakfast Club'': Casey is the nerd Brian, Delilah is the [[AlphaBitch princess]] Claire, Stan is the [[JerkJock athlete]] Andy, Zeke is the [[{{Delinquents}} criminal]] Bender, and Stokely is the [[CoolLoser basket case]] Allison. [[spoiler:In fact, this trope foreshadows TheReveal on a meta level once a viewer starts asking where [[NewTransferStudent Marybeth]] fits in. The answer: ''[[UncannyValleyGirl she doesn't.]]'']]

* The ''Series/IAmNotOkayWithThis'' episode "Another Day in Paradise". The JerkJock Brad and [[SpoiledSweet his girlfriend]] Dina get set to detention after Brad cheats off of Dina's test, the CoolLoser Sydney gets sent too after she stands up for Dina, and the dweebish NiceGuy Stanley winds up with them because he felt like it (mouthing off to the teacher specifically to get sent to detention). The {{delinquent|s}} Jenny rounds out the group.

YMMV Sinkhole.


* ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'': An offscreen example. In an event, the player can convince Damien to have fun when he's stuck in detention. This is turned into the plot of the movie offscreen and by the next time you hear about it, Damien has befriended a group of very different kids he met in detention and is frozen [[SignatureScene in the football field with his fist to the air]].

* In ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'', the protagonists consist of a bookish {{Nerd}}, his JerkJock former ChildhoodFriend, a PhoneaholicTeenager AlphaBitch, and a ShrinkingViolet. They're all brought together by detention when they would almost never interact otherwise (Fridge only sought out Spencer to copy his homework).

* Four of the five main cast members in the high-school-set SurvivalHorror game ''VideoGame/ObsCure'' fit the character archetypes from ''The Breakfast Club'', with Kenny as the athlete, Ashley as the princess, Josh as the nerd, and Stan as the criminal. Only Shannon, characterized as the GirlNextDoor, sticks out -- and even then, not only does a NewGamePlus give her a very punk-inspired outfit complete with [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue-and-red hair]] (as opposed to her [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold normal blonde hair]]) and [[StockingFiller fishnets]] that makes her look the part of the basket case, but in the sequel, she's been given a full {{goth}} makeover in both her clothes and [[DarkerAndEdgier her personality]], ironically inverting the BeautifulAllAlong reveal of Allison at the end of ''The Breakfast Club''. And of course, the game is about them exploring their empty school, though Leafmore High School has far fewer life lessons and more monsters than there ever were at Shermer High School.

* [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/25695925 A Princess, a Treehugger, and a Space Cadet Walk Into a Library]] is an ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' HighSchoolAU which loosely parallels the plot of ''Film/TheBreakfastClub''. Ax is a FunnyForeigner instead of an alien. [[DeanBitterman Chapman]] takes the place of the principal from the movie.
