Line #12 YMMV/SayAnything


1	'''Related to the film''':
2
3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[Music/{{So}} "In Your Eyes"]] by Music/PeterGabriel.
4	* MemeticMutation:
5	** "Are you more romantic than Lloyd Dobler?"
6	** "I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen."
7	** In a broader sense, Lloyd's "holding up the stereo" pose has been imitated numerous times.
8	* ParodyDisplacement: Characters serenading people with boom boxes is so common that most don't remember that it originates from this film. It also tends to be portrayed as successfully winning the other person over, when the original scene has it failing, causing Lloyd to give up.
9	* RetroactiveRecognition: In the Latin-American Spanish dub, Lloyd is voiced by [[Creator/AlfonsoObregonInclan Fox Mulder.]]
10	** Creator/PamelaAdlon (billed here as Pamela Segall) plays Rebecca, one of Corey's friends.
11	** Who knew that Creator/KimWalker previous role before this movie would go on be one of the most [[{{Film/Heathers}} infamous mean girls in television history]]. Or that Lisanne Falk, who has a very minor role in this movie, would have starred with her as Heather [=McNamara=].
12	** Creator/BebeNeuwirth appears briefly as a guidance counselor at the party.
13	* SignatureScene: The aforementioned "holding up the stereo" scene.
14	* SongAssociation: Thanks to the famous scene where Lloyd holds up a boombox at Diane's window, [[Music/{{So}} "In Your Eyes"]] by Music/PeterGabriel is strongly associated with this movie among the general public. The association got so big that Gabriel's compilation album ''Rated PG'', which otherwise focuses on songs written specifically for film soundtracks, ends with "In Your Eyes".
15	* TearJerker: Lloyd's phone call to his sister after [[spoiler:he and Diane break up]].
16	-->A pen. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.
17	** Mr. Court's breakdown as the IRS zeroes in on him, culminating with crying in the bathtub and his daughter losing respect for him.
18	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
19	** The SignatureScene of Lloyd holding a boombox over his head might not have the same impact today if he were holding an iPod instead. Then again, a 21st-century Lloyd would be holding up some kind of iPod player with a picture of a boombox on it, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BJMT4vfBbE-/ as joked by]] Creator/BrieLarson.
20	** The people filming the graduation ceremony using actual film cameras. Today they'd just be holding up their phones.
21	** Combine the two and you get a ''Film/Deadpool2'' scene. And it's both sweet and ridiculous.

23	'''Related to the band''':
24
25	* CrossesTheLineTwice: "Property" has a spoken word section by Bemis that quickly crosses the line.
26	--> "If you do have to sell your body once... Twice... Seven times... It'll be worth it!"
27	* HarsherInHindsight: When the list of guest appearances on ''In Defense of the Genre'' were first announced, it was pretty cool. Things get a little more awkward once you learn that around that time Chad Gilbert (who appeared on "You're the Wanker, If Anyone Is") allegedly left his wife for Hayley Williams (who appeared on "Plea" and "The Church Channel"). Said ex-wife is Sherri Dupree...Max's wife.
28	* NarmCharm: Max's delivery of the band's cover of "Got Your Money" by ODB makes it even greater.
29	* ParanoiaFuel: "Rats."
30	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some fans say this of the new music. They've progressed, but they're just keeping from going stale.
