* PimpedOutDress: What all the girls wear to their parties. One girl got a dress so huge [[UpToEleven she had to stand on a ten-foot-tall mechanical platform to wear it.]] [[note]] She had a more reasonable, but still extravagant dress to change into.[[/note]]

* EntitledBastard: To such a degree that [[Creator/CharlieBrooker at least one commentator]] has speculated that they represent the end of western civilisation itself.

* UngratefulBastard: As a spin-off of the ItsAllAboutMe going on.

* CoolCar: It's their sixteenth birthday, so naturally its what they all want.

* RealSongThemeTune: "Sweet Sixteen" by Hilary Duff.

'''''My Super Sweet 16''''' was an Creator/{{MTV}} {{reality show}} that ran from 2005-2008 about teenagers' sweet 16 birthday parties. Despite its name, it has also featured other coming-of-age birthdays such as the Quincenera (turning 15 in Hispanic culture), 18, and 21 during MTV's annual ''Spring Break'' week. But rather than just a backyard barbecue or renting out a party hall with their families and friends, the kids featured in this show came from wealthy families, and their parties were an outlandishly decadent extravaganza, complete with high-profile musicians as performers, luxury sports cars as gifts, ''over a hundred of their peers'' turning out, and so on. Expect to see these kids cry, scream, swear, and berate their parents over every little detail about the party. Excerpts have been used in {{UsefulNotes/North Korea}}n propaganda videos about the supposed decadence of the West.

The show aired during MTV's "Bling-Bling" era, where series like ''MTV Cribs'' (showing off the homes of young celebrities), ''Pimp My Ride'' (where beater cars are given rap-video makeovers), and various one-off specials glamorized the lives of the wealthy, or at least their material excesses. However, the Great Recession of 2008 and the Occupy Movement of the early 2010's pretty much killed off interest in watching some teenage girl cry because she wanted to receive her sports car ''during'' her party and not the day before. In fact, ''My Super Sweet 16'' is considered by many the point where MTV was oversaturated with these kinds of shows. As you can imagine, the series became prime parody bait, and even MTV got in on making fun of it. The first is ''Film/MySuperPsychoSweet16'', a series of [[MadeForTVMovie made-for-TV]] {{slasher movie}}s in which [[{{Expy}} expies]] of the kids are gleefully taken down by serial killers, and ''Exiled'', another reality show in which the parents of former ''Sweet 16'' stars, fed up with their kids' behavior, send them off overseas so that they can find out what it's ''really'' like to go without.

'''''My Super Sweet 16''''' is an {{MTV}} {{reality show}} about teenagers' sweet 16 birthday parties, where insanely rich teenagers cry, scream, swear, berate their parents and act as if the apocalypse has begun because they didn't want to get their $65,000 Lexus ''now'', they wanted to get it ''slightly later''. [[Creator/CharlieBrooker One commentator]] has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b7mwTK564o remarked]] that it is almost certainly a portent of the complete collapse of our civilization, and excerpts have been used in [[UsefulNotes/NorthKorea North Korean]] propaganda videos about the decadence of the West.

[[MoodWhiplash On a happier note]], this show has spawned some decent {{spinoff}}s. The first is ''Film/MySuperPsychoSweet16'', a series of [[MadeForTVMovie made-for-TV]] {{slasher movie}}s in which the little twerps get what's coming to them, and ''Exiled'', another reality show in which the parents of former ''Sweet 16'' stars, fed up with their kids' behavior, send them off overseas so that they can find out what it's ''really'' like to suffer.

Tropes related to the show:

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The 2008 economic crash didn't really affect the rich, but it ''did'' make these over-the-top displays of wealth rather unfashionable...
