** Maybe it's because she [[RealWomenNeverWearDresses wears baggy pants]]?

** Averted with the 12-sided die that looks nothing like a dodecahedron. This is likely because of Strong Bad [[DidNotDoTheResearch not doing the research]].

''Teen Girl Squad'' is a spinoff sub-series of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'', in which (canonically) Strong Bad draws, in [[StylisticSuck comically bad style]], a stick-figure cartoon depicting the misadventures of four [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "teenage girls between the ages of thirteen and nineteen"]]. The main characters include Cheerleader (the de facto leader of the group, an AlphaBitch wannabe whose popularity is all in her head), So and So ([[DitzyGenius an overachieving brainiac who lacks common sense]]), What's Her Face ([[DeadpanSnarker the cynic of the group]], as well as the token poor person, and by far the least popular of the four girls), and The Ugly One (who seems to possess [[ThePigPen suspect hygiene]] and a [[CloudCuckoolander strained relationship with reality]] among other things, but is more popular than What's Her Face).

* TheyKilledKenny: Some number of the Teen Girl Squad almost always die by the end of almost every episode, the exceptions being episodes 2 and 3 and the Decemberween special.

And this series has named the trope WaveOBabies.

* {{Clouduckoolander}}: The Ugly One

* AbhorrentAdmirer - All of the girls, but Cheerleader especially.
* {{Adorkable}} - What's Her Face. "Uh...hi. I like music, and um, cloth."
* AGoodNameForARockBand - Issue 12 gives us the two hipster kids who decide "She Likes Cloth" would make a good band name. Also, when the girls are forming a band, So And So suggests "Smartly Pretty", but is shot down in favour of "Kissyboots".
* AgainstMyReligion - "Thank groodness. Sweating is against several of my religions!" -Cheerleader in Issue 14
* AllGirlsLikePonies - In the [[ChristmasEpisode Decemberween Special]], the text on Cheerleader's intro card is "wants a pony".
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys - So and So has shown an attraction to Tompkins, considering him a "renegade", though he's more or less your typical high school slacker.
* AllGuysWantCheerleaders - Subverted. Amongst the group, Cheerleader actually gets the ''least'' amount of attention from boys over the course of the series.
* AlphaBitch - Cheerleader.

* {{Amusing Injuries}} - Every three seconds.

* BeautifulAllAlong - The Ugly One in Issue 10.

* BlatantLies - In issue 15, when Manolios Ugly One tells [[DungeonsAndDragons Dn'D]] Greg to not lay a finger on his daughter (if he does so he'll gut him like a sheep), a random gutted sheep says that it isn't so bad... when it turns out to be bad. Also, in the same issue, Arrow'd Guy claims that What's-Her-Face will come into her own in college... and then immediately afterward shoots her down with a flock of sparrows. ''"A new twist on an old classic!"''
* BottomlessPit - Their school has one (named after its sports team, of course)

* CampStraight - Cheerleader Brian

* TheChewToy - All of them. It's drawn by Strong Bad, what do you expect?
* ChirpingCrickets - Used briefly in ''4 Gregs'' after D n'D Greg's explanation of football.

* CloudCuckoolander - The Ugly One
* ContinuityNod - In a rare example, Issue #13 references So And So's incarceration in Issue #11.
* CoolLoser - What's Her Face [[strike:is]] was the page image for that trope.
* CuteLittleFangs - On occasion, one of the girls will be randomly drawn with them, usually So and So.
* DadaComics - This "comic" is [[{{Jerkass}} Strong Bad]]'s outlet for creativity. Dada humor is to be expected.
* DeadBabyComedy - Obviously the whole series, especially [[SpinoffBabies issue 7]]
* DeadpanSnarker - What's Her Face
** She was voted Least Likely To Care in high school.
* DeathByFlashback - The Ugly One dies in ''[[RuleOfFunny her own flashback she's recalling]]'' in Issue #12.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment
** "Drummers Play A Drum"
* DiabolusExMachina - Arguably the whole point of the comic.

* DitzyGenius - So and So

* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai - Issue 10. "Corn is no place for a mighty warrior!"
* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks - "My bass feels seaworthy." And then the shark proceeds to eat most of her and take her place in the Kissyboots band.

* EyesAlwaysShut - Japanese Culture Greg. His eyes briefly pop open in issue #15 when he calls [[RobotGirl his prom date]] "CHIZUKO!".
* FaceOfTheBand - Invoked in Issue 8.

* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence - Several deaths are shown as graphic as you can get in poorly drawn stick figures.

* GirlishPigtails - Cheerleader
* GretzkyHasTheBall - A Scotsman caber-tosses Cheerleader in Issue 10 and is disgusted that his throw only goes 23 meters. Success in the caber toss is measured by straightness, not distance. The creators point out their mistake in the DVD commentary.
* HerCodeNameWasMarySue - Creator Strong Bad inserts himself into several of the comics, often as the love interest of one of the girls.
* HollywoodNerd - So and So. The 4 Gregs definitely qualify.
* IFellForHours - "When you fall in a bottomless pit, you die of starvation."
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy - The Gregs' reaction to seeing What's Her Face date the Wireless Wizard.
* JumpingTheShark - Invoked in the "tenthennial extravaganza":

* KillEmAll - Usually. On rare occasions, one or two will survive. On even rarer occasions (issues 2, 3, and 6), none of them die.
* LighterAndSofter - The other three girls attempt to take the group in this direction following Cheerleader's death in Issue 9. It doesn't work.
* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext - Pretty much the whole series.
* MindScrew - The ending of "4 Gregs." So basically, Strong Bad was drawing the Teen Girl Squad drawing the four Gregs drawing the girls drawing the Gregs drawing the girls drawing the Gregs drawing the girls drawing the Gregs drawing the girls drawing the Gregs!

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed - Issue 13 introduces a rapper named Peacey P, a parody of SnoopDogg (with visual cues from {{Ludacris}}).

* NoRespectGuy - What's Her Face
* OccidentalOtaku - Japanese Culture Greg
* OhCrap - The ending of episode 8, verbatim. "[[TemptingFate Everybody died 'cept me!]]" *CHOMP* "Aw, crap!"

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Girl]] - What's Her Face is probably the only one with any common sense.
** For example she is the only one who refuses to jump into a lion's mouth for the secret Santa.
* OrSoIHeard - In episode 8:

* OutOfCharacterMoment - While So-and-So and The Ugly One stayed relatively as they always were when Cheerleader died in episode 9, What's Her Face took advantage of not having to be the sensible one anymore and [[TooDumbToLive ate a heaping bowl of 'Staple Sauce'.]] This, understandably, killed her.
* OverprotectiveDad - Manolios Ugly One. "[[TwerpSweating You lay one finger on my daughter, I gut you like sheep.]]"
* OwMyBodyPart - A frequent running gag. Examples include "Ow! My skin!", "Ow! My hopes of reaching first base!" and "Ow! My entire life!"

* PerkyGoth - So and So adopts this persona when the girls form a band in Issue 8. "I'm going with that gloomy keyboardist look I keep hearing about!"
* ThePigPen - One SpinoffBabies episode of Teen Girl Squad has What's Her Face as a direct parody of the original Pig Pen, as lampshaded in the commentary.

* PoliceAreUseless - "Uh, yes, ma'am. We got a report of us wanting to watch the Ola Toya fight. You mind if we investigate?"
** He DID bring snack mix.
*** [[spoiler:But it killed What's Her Face [[TabletopGame/{{Clue}} in Tompkins' Parlor]] [[EdibleBludgeon with a pretzel stick!]]]]

* RescueRomance - [[spoiler:Quarterman saves The Ugly One from an upperclassman's prank and then asks her to accompany him to the end credits]].
* RobeAndWizardHat - The Wireless Wizard, of course.

* {{Serious Business}} - Valentime's Day (issue 12). Apparently, Cheerleader risks losing her "Mindy cred" if she doesn't get enough Valentine's cards from enough boys.

* [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] - The four Gregs.
* SpinOffBabies - Issue 7 has Teen Girl Squad as toddlers.
* StylisticSuck - The girls are stick figures on a looseleaf backdrop. Strong Bad provides all the voices himself, so they all speak in falsetto.
* SummerCampy - Camp Firstbassawassa in Issue 11.
* SureWhyNot - What's Her Face suggests killing someone off in the tenth episode. Strong Bad complies (as if he needed What's Her Face's suggestion as an excuse).
* TalkingToHimself - Matt Chapman aside, ''Strong Bad'' voices all of the comics' characters.
* TheyKilledKenny - Some number of the Teen Girl Squad almost always die by the end of almost every episode, the exceptions being episodes 2 and 3 and the Decemberween special.
* TitleDrop - Done straight by Strong Bad at the start of every toon. Played with in issue 9:

* UncannyValley - [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] InUniverse. One of the Gregs ends up getting killed by his robot girl due to this ([[MST3KMantra don't try to think too hard on how this works]]).
* UnfortunateNames - Since her father's name is Manolios Ugly One, The Ugly One's first name [[SpellMyNameWithAThe seems to be The]]. (Granted, this is so common in the Homestar Runner universe that [[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Integral_article it has its own name]] amongst the fandom.)
* UnpopularPopularCharacter - Amongst fans and the creators of the show, What's Her Face may be the most popular character. In universe, the opposite is true.

* VagueAge - The Teen Girl Squad are described as "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment teenage girls between the ages of 13 and 19]]", with What's Her Face being fifteen at the youngest, since she's had her license for a year (in some states, mostly Midwestern ones, you can get your license at fourteen).
