** It ''is'' a Jason Robert Brown musical, after all.
* ZanyScheme: "All Hail the Brain"
-->'''Evan:''' "And all I have to do is..."
--> '''Evan (rapid-fire):''' Wait till Mom goes to sleep, sneak the license from the wallet in her purse, and make a colored Xerox, laminate it. Then put the license, back in the wallet in her purse. Then find the dress she wore in the picture on the license that I copied and I laminated. Wear the dress! Get a wig, show the licences, buy the tickets. What could go wrong?...

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** During "Getting Ready", Lucy tells Kendra that she shouldn't kiss Brett because she's a "good girl". But it sounds like they're talking about something else.
---> In the Broadway production, Liz Gillies went from sitting in a very casual stance to having her legs tightly crossed when she said "I'm a good girl."
** Let's not forget one of Patrice's lines in between verses of "the lamest place in the world."
---> '''Patrice''': The [[IncestIsRelative inbreeding]] takes up all of our time.
** "I guess you don't want ''what comes after the tongue.''"
** There's a line about a 'rocking horse' in "Hey Kendra". Brett cuts it off before it goes too far, but not without Eddie and Malcolm making pointed references.
** One of Simon's lines shortly after Lucy begins dating Brett:
---> '''Simon''': And then Coach said 'what's the point of practicing without Brett?' So he made us watch a movie called ''God Doesn't Want You To Touch That.''

* VoiceTypes: Kendra, [[InvokedTrope who is mentioned repeatedly]] as being PurityPersonified, is listed as a soprano although Delaney Moro, the original Kendra on Broadway is an ''alto''. Patrice is a Mezzo soprano, and [[AlphaBitch Lucy]] is an alto. (Elizabeth Gillies mentioned that she can sing "lower than any female legally should".) And all of the boys are tenors.
** Especially Richie.
*** YEAH!
