  • Josie's premeditated plan to get with Isabel.
    Josie: I'm playing the long game with her, okay? Here's how it's gonna shake out. I don't speak to the bitch for years. Bam! It's the 20th high school reunion. I show up, I'm in a little suit like the lesbian I am, you know? It's probably white, okay? She looks at me, I look back at her. What the fuck happened to her? She's washed up. I mean, Jeff has run her ragged. That's when my ass swoops in, okay?
    PJ: That made me so sad.
  • Hazel being introduced as being Sarcasm-Blind.
    Hazel: (noticing Josie's arm in a cast) What happened to your arm?
    PJ: Oh my God, she ate shit, is what happened.
    Hazel: She ate literal shit, what the fuck?
    • Said sarcasm blindness later leads to Hazel blowing up Jeff's car after PJ jokingly says they should "do terrorism" when Hazel suggests bombs in their prank.
  • PJ and Josie's cringy attempts to talk to Brittany and Isabel at the fair. Brittany is already weirded out by PJ, while Isabel at first seems flattered by Josie, until she starts saying she is so skinny and should eat that Isabel starts to look offended.
  • Josie's rant after failing to properly talk to Isabel, which was improvised on the spot by Ayo Edebiri.
    Josie: You know what? I'm good. 'Cause it's not gonna happen for me. If it's not happening here, then it's definitely not happening at Emerson, okay? I'm done trying to sow my damn oats.
    PJ: No!
    Josie: I'm packing up my vagina and I'm fucking Matthieu. That's the only hope for me.
    PJ: No!
    Josie: It's me and Matthieu, man. And 'cause he's gay and fearless, he's probably gonna fuck me without protection. Then I'm gonna get pregnant. We're gonna have to join a church. He'll be the gay pastor. MY WHOLE LIFE'S FUCKED! (she and PJ enter her car) And yeah, sure, his sermons are good, but everybody knows he's fruity. (starts banging on the steering wheel) EVERYBODY KNOWS HE'S FUCKIN' FRUITY! By the way, our son, Hezekiah, hates us, 'cause he knows we're both closeted, but we try to make it work for him, but he's not happy. And yeah, guess what? The deacon's fucking the evangelist, man! He's fucking the evangelist! (exaggerated crying) I don't wanna live like that. Will you come and visit us on Sundays? Please comes to visit us on Sundays?
    • PJ's look in the same scene just shouts "...what?"
  • Jeff and his teammates' reactions to Josie tapping his knee with her front bumper, acting like he's been viciously attacked. While he shows up to school in crutches, he later throws them away during football practice as if he was miraculously healed.
    • In the same scene, before the "hit", Jeff dismisses Josie as "an ugly girl in overalls" to which she responds "hey, I may be ugly, but these are not overalls!"
  • At the first fight club meeting, PJ goads Josie into explaining their juvie "experience" which escalates to the point where Josie explains that she killed someone...for about a second before reviving them.
  • The school has a boxer named Tucker who is apparently so violent that he is kept locked in a cage during school hours, in the middle of the classroom.
  • PJ and Hazel have different ideas on how the fight club’s increasing popularity can work in their favors:
    Hazel: I feel like if we keep this up, we can actually take on Huntington, you guys.
    PJ: What? No, if we keep this up, we can put our fingers in each other. Grow up.
  • The final fight scene is pure Black Comedy. At one point, Sylvie accidentally impales one of the Huntington football players with a sword.
    • Just the fact that the entire school witnesses the fight, in which some players died, and then immediately cheers on the fight club after it's revealed they were saving Jeff in the process.
  • The goth student is pissed when Hazel's bomb finally goes off at the end of the movie...because they had intended to do the same thing.
  • The outtakes at the end of the film. Some examples include Mr. G calling Josie and PJ his "favorite" students before immediately correcting himself when he realizes he's talking about two other students, and Rhodes asking Josie her age because she put whiskey in the drink Josie's sipping.
