Following the ''American Pie'' trilogy chronicling the courtship and marriage of characters Jim Levenstein and Michelle Flaherty, the ''American Pie'' name became a brand name in a manner similar to the ''National Lampoon'' film series for a number of direct to video spin off films: ''American Pie Presents: Band Camp'' (2005), ''American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile'' (2006), ''Film/AmericanPiePresentsBetaHouse'' (2007), ''American Pie: Book of Love'' (2009), and ''American Pie Presents: Girls' Rules'' (2020).

** During Jessica's cameo, she announces that "[[SuddenlySexuality I'm a lesbian now]]." Natasha Lyonne played a lesbian character in ''Film/ButImACheerleader'' the same year the original ''American Pie'' was released. With an added CallBack as Stifler says "IKnewIt!", given that in the second movie:

* SuddenlySexuality[=/=]TransparentCloset: After 13 years, [[spoiler:Jessica]] announces that she's a lesbian... to no one's surprise.

* WhatDidIDoLastNight: After reuniting with his old friends, Jim wakes up in his kitchen pants-less and surrounded by nachos and other kinds of food.

* {{Adorkable}}: Jim and Michelle.

* WeddingDay

* BiTheWay: Implied with Nadia, who pleasures herself while looking at Jim's magazines containing pictures of naked women, and when Jim walks in on her, she almost has sex with him.

* WhamLine: "And this one time, at band camp, [[spoiler: I stuck a flute in my pussy."]]

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse

* BrickJoke: During the post-prom party, Stifler checks to make sure his beer hasn't been tainted (recalling the "pale ale" incident).

* BlackComedyRape: The aftermath of Dwight Stifler's visit to a sex addicts' meeting in ''Beta House'' (where he was looking to pick up chicks).
* CoitusInterruptus: ''American Pie: Beta House'' offers a morally ambiguous example in an early scene.
* JizzedInMyPants: See OhCrap below.
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: In ''Beta House'', one of the fratguys has a RunningGag problem where he drinks too much and wakes up in all sorts of weird situations. At the end of the film he wakes up to find that he slept with a female bodybuilder, who is treated as an AbhorrentAdmirer.
* OhCrap: Edgar in "Beta House", when the fat guy's girlfriend walks up in a [[spoiler:sheep costume, and proceeds to make him ejaculate, losing the Greek Olympiad.]]

* BaitAndSwitchComment: The trailers had spoiled Michelle's shocking bandcamp story, so the audience was left expecting it every time she began a sentence "This one time at band camp...", only to have her describe some tame event. Until things finally pay off in the end.

* ForeignFanservice: Nadia.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Jim, Kevin, Finch, and Oz ''were'' right to call out Stifler on his behavior, as not only did he needed to learn to be a better friend but also to stop dwelling in his "High School" years. Meanwhile, Stifler points out that they never really treated him as a friend to begin with nor really bothered to convey to him the problem they had with his behavior beforehand.

* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: [[spoiler:Happens when Stifler finally decides he's had enough of his BadBoss and gives him a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Stifler.]]

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Jim, Kevin, Finch, and Oz ''were'' right to call out Stifler on his behavior, as he both needed to learn to be a better friend and stop dwelling in his "High School" years. Meanwhile, Stifler points out to them that they never really treated him as a friend to begin with and never really bothered to convey to him the problem they had with his behavior before then.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Jim, Kevin, Finch, and Oz ''were'' right to point out to Stifler about his behavior. Stifler did, in fact, needed to learn to be a better friend, and not only, but also needed to stop dwelling in the "High School" years. But then Stifler points out to them that they never really ever treated him as a friend to begin with. Neither calling, texting, or contacting him in anyway for quite awhile. Nor did any of the other four guys even bothered to communicate with Stifler about the problem they had with his behavior prior.
