* WTHCastingAgency: Aside from Creator/DaranNorris, who is better known for his work as a voice actor, and Creator/NolanNorth (also a voice artist, though his VO career only began around the time this show ended; he had done other live-action work until then), much of the teachers and other faculty are played by B-list celebs better known for appearing on adult-oriented sitcoms and sketch comedies -- [[Series/TooCloseForComfort Jim J.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: After two seasons of Cookie rebuking Lisa's efforts to date him and displaying no interest in her, his sudden all-consuming desire to date Lisa after her aforementioned UnnecessaryMakeover only makes him look incredibly shallow. There were very few rooting for him to win over Lisa.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The "alternate ending" to the series finale, which consists of an alien invader appearing out of nowhere and the cast attacking him. It used to be available to view on the [=TeenNick=] website, and was recently found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMWIwIJGDAE and uploaded.]]

* MemeticMutation: Cookie on a computer[[labelnote:Explanation]]A gif depicting Cookie aggressively and enthusiastically typing on a laptop became a popular reaction image for signifying online mischievousness, often including the caption "[SHITPOSTING LOUDLY]" to highlight this.[[/labelnote]]

* UnnecessaryMakeover: Lisa Zemo's redesign from a SicklyNeuroticGeek to a gorgeous DudeMagnet. It's not that her new look is ''unattractive,'' but her look and her character became less interesting with her losing her awkward nerdiness.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In "Reading", Ned tries to give an oral report on ''Literature/GreenEggsAndHam'' to cover for how he didn't actually read a book for English class. In it, he claims that Sam doesn't like the titular food. However, Sam likes the food, and the story's about him trying to convince the unnamed man to give it a try. This is possibly a deliberate case however due to Ned's dislike for reading.

* HarsherInHindsight: [=iTeacher=]'s whole gimmick of teaching from home via a computer got a whole lot more realistic after COVID-19 forced schools and colleges to move to online-only instruction.

* UnnecessaryMakeover: Lisa Zemo's redesign from a SicklyNeuroticGeek to a gorgeous DudeMagnet. It's not that her new look is ''unattractive,'' but her look and her character became much blander, losing her endearing awkward nerdiness in exchange for becoming a generic attractive SatelliteLoveInterest for Cookie.

* HoYay:
%% ** Between Loomer and Cookie.
%% -->'''Loomer''': Together, Cook, we will rule the dodgeball court!
** Cookie's whole subplot in "Guide to: Girls", when Loomer fell in love with Cookie when he was dressed in drag.
-->'''Loomer''': (''grabs "Simone's" hand'') You're special, and I'd like to get to know the ''real'' you.
-->'''Cookie''': (''nervously'') No, you don't!

* CultClassic: Has become one for its' cartoonish yet hilarious antics and genuinely helpful advice, sticking out from the sea of mid-2000s kidcoms that surrounded it. The multitude of adult actors (see below) helps.
