14	->'''Cheerleaders:''' We! Are driving! We! We! Are driving! \
15	'''Nick:''' Do you think the bus crashed and we went to heaven? \
16	'''Shawn:''' No, because then we would have heard, "We! Are crashing! We! We! Are crashing!"

18	''Fired Up!'' is a 2009 teen sex comedy film directed by Will Gluck in his directorial debut; he also wrote the film under the pseudonym Freedom Jones.
19
20	The film is about two [[BigManOnCampus popular football stars]], Shawn Colfax (Creator/NicholasDAgosto) and Nick Brady (Creator/EricChristianOlsen), who decide to get out of football camp and into a cheerleading squad after overhearing how the squad's cheering camp has 300 girls, with plans to hook up [[ReallyGetsAround with as many girls as they can]] and leave before the camp-end competition.
21
22	However, after one of them falls for the squad captain Carly Davidson (Sarah Roemer) and the other for a camp instructor Diora (Molly Sims), they decide to stay but get caught and expelled, and have to find a way to get back into the camp.

24	----
25	!!''Fired Up!'' provides examples of:
26
27	* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Shawn and Eric's desire for them over their trashy, masculine football teammates kicks off the plot.
28	%% * AlphaBitch: A whole team of them in fact (the Panthers).
29	%%
30	%% List concrete examples and explain both the trope and how it is used in the work.
31	%%
32	* AmbiguouslyGay: Nick has his strange moments like his knowledge of recipes, his romantic writing, his squickily shocking phrases about how straight he is. Shawn and StraightGay Downey expect him to come out.
33	%% * BecomingTheMask: Sean and Nick actually do find out that they enjoy cheerleading.
34	%% * BringIt: No, really. It's an in-universe trope.
35	%%
36	%% Really? How so?
37	%%
38	%% * CampGay: Brewster is really camp.
39	* CatchPhrase:
40	** Silvya often repeats, "I'm just saying."
41	** Shawn's "You've gotta risk it to get the biscuit."
42	* CharacterDevelopment: The boys change from players to sensitive, caring friends to the girls and even romantic suitors during the camp. If they weren't just pretending to be jerks all along.
43	* ChekhovsSkill: The Fountain of Troy.
44	* ClingyCostume: The mascots have really tight costumes and they never take off them. ''Even when they're skinny dipping.''
45	%% * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sylvia has the weirdest lines before her CatchPhrase.
46	* ClusterFBomb: Cluster S-Bomb. The coach really likes the word "shit". Nick and Shawn made a game out of trying to guess how many times he can say it in one conversation.
47	%% * DeadpanSnarker: Don't talk with Poppy if you can avoid it.
48	* DoubleMeaningTitle: Refers to both the excitement the cheerleaders feel at the camp in getting to perform and to the excitement the two leads feel in being around them in the hopes of peaking romantic interest from any number of them too.
49	%% * EvilWearsBlack: The Panther squad... CONTEXT!!!
50	* FanService: Lots and lots of it.
51	* GratuitousSpanish: The Fountain of Troy is ''prohibidado''. ''Prohibidabado''. ''Prohibibabo''.
52	* HandOrObjectUnderwear: Following the SkinnyDipping, Nick and Shawn use their hands and some pom-poms to cover up when they get caught.
53	* HiddenDepths: During a DirtyCoward rant after being punched, AlphaBitch Gwyneth mentions that she doesn't really care about cheerleading and wants to be a paralegal after college.
54	* JerkJock: Every guy who isn't in the cheering camp is an obnoxious athlete. It gets hilarious when they get caught by coach.
55	* LadykillerInLove: Shawn to Carly.
56	* LikesOlderWomen: Nick with Diora, their camp coach's wife. They made-out in the end credits but she had to leave because of her husband was coming.
57	%% * LipstickLesbian: Bianca.
58	* ObviouslyEvil: The Panthers are evil cheerleaders. Seriously, they aren't the type of girls you'd want to meet in a dark alley... Satans with pom-poms.
59	* [[OpposingSportsTeam Opposing Cheerleaders Team]]: The Panthers.
60	* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Bianca is asked to put on some underwear when they get woken up at night after she sleepwalks into Angela's bed.
61	* PomPomGirl: The whole movie is about cheerleading camp, so lots of cheering, dancing, and pom-poms to go around. Some of the girls are of this nice variety as opposed to the {{alpha bitch}}y [[CruelCheerleader cheerleaders.]]
62	* TheProblemWithPenIsland: During the [[TitleDrop Fired Up]] cheer, most shout the letters "F U". Shawn and Nick are apparently the only ones to notice the problem.
63	* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: Averted. The Tigers [[spoiler: get nineteenth place, but they are happy because it's ten places better than last year.]]
64	* SecretDiary: [[spoiler: Nick has been writing a diary and it's full of romantic poetry.]]
65	* SeriousBusiness: Cheerleading. Specially for Adam.
66	* SirSwearsALot: The football coach, whose favorite word is "shit".
67	* ShoutOut: Carly's JerkAss boyfriend makes ones to ''Film/AnimalHouse'' and ''Film/MeetTheParents''.
68	* SkinnyDipping: [[spoiler: Followed by the inevitable GoneSwimmingClothesStolen, with Shawn and Nick the victims]].
69	* StraightGay:
70	** Downey is gay but has no mannerisms. He actually got Nick to think he was straight.
71	** Most if not all of the oh-so straight looking Panther guys, if we believe to the girl who said that there were only four straight guys in the camp, being three of those Nick, Shawn and Adam. Hopefully Coach Keith is the fourth.
72	* TheWildcats: Both The Tigers and The Panthers fit to tropably generic names and mascots for a sports team.
73	* TrainingFromHell: Or the closest you're gonna see to this in a cheerleading movie.
74	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Shawn's sister, Poppy, is very mature for her age.
75	* VerbalTic: The coach can't stop saying "shit".
