History YMMV / SummerOf42

** Hermie then tries to pass off that they're for his brother and pretends he thinks they're essentially water balloons. Mr. Sanders swallows this excuse without question.

** Hermie's reaction after the night as well. In contrast to Oscy's proud bragging, he doesn't seem to know what to think. If you don't take the encounter as romantic and an unfortunate mistake leading to statutory rape, Hermie's reaction becomes that of a teenager who was taken advantage of and doesn't know how to process it.

* HollywoodHomely: Aggie is supposed to be a plain alternative that Hermie has no interest in. Her actress is actually quite cute. Although it may be just that Hermie isn't interested because he's already crushing on Dorothy.

** Once he finally gets rid of the old lady in the store, he keeps back-tracking to asking for stuff for his ice cream cone -- before finally blurting out "How about some rubbers?" and getting a magnificent DoubleTake in response.

* HarsherInHindsight: Oscy is seen wearing a US Army hoodie in multiple scenes. In real life Oscar Seltzer enlisted in the Army and died in [[UsefulNotes/TheKoreanWar Korea]] -- and Herman Raucher got the news on his 24th birthday. Raucher hasn't celebrated a birthday since.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Though it's not without its moments, the sequel ''Class of '44'' got a lukewarm critical reception and was nothing near the hit that the first film was. If it's remembered at all nowadays, it's for featuring Creator/JohnCandy in his ({{uncredited|role}}) screen debut.

** Mr. Sanders then asks what kind he wants, to which Hermie bluffingly replies "the usual". After shown the various brands and styles available, Hermie finally requests "the blue ones", to which Sanders asks how many. Hermie says three dozen, prompting the druggist to due ''another'' double take and snark, "Planning a big night?" "Just the usual", Hermie returns.
