* BrickJoke: At the beginning Issue 15, What's Her Face asks if the "[[TotallyRadical priggidy prizom]]" means "pretty prism". By the end of the episode, Cheerleader's upper half is vaporized by a disco ball's laser, with the UnsoundEffect "PRETTY PRISM!"

* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: In Issue 15, So and So explains that the "Priggidy Prizom" is the name of this year's prom, and adds, with a deranged look, "I was on every committee ever." This fits well with the preppy overachiever stereotype she personifies.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: In spite of his tendency to violently kill off the main cast on most occasions, Strong Bad sounds very uncomfortable with killing off any of the young child characters in Issue 7. While Tompkins and Cheerleader both die, Strong Bad doesn't actually show a scene depicting Tompkins' demise (he even sounds unsure of how to kill him off), and Cheerleader's death (see "Belly Flop Crushing" above) is relatively tame by TGS standards.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In the first two issues, the girls seemed to be pretty much identical in personality, with the only real distinguisher being that Cheerleader is the leader. Around the third issue, it was established that Cheerleader is the biggest jerk and What's-Her-Face is TheFriendNobodyLikes, and the rest flowed from there.
