* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: By ''far'' the least typical film Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg have ever made, being a relatively low key, realistic, character-driven (!) comedy with no pop cultural or celebrity references (!!) rather than the ShallowParody style favoured by the duo. Only the grossout humour and nudity would give you any clue you are watching a film by the same guys who created ''Film/DateMovie'', ''Film/EpicMovie'', etc.

Inverted would mean one dude in a mostly women class. It would be averted, but all women groups are pretty much ubiquitous and don't need to be troped. It's a people sits on chairs type deal.


* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Inverted. The main characters are all female.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Two redheads actually (Claire and Leslie) but otherwise the leads fit this trope well.
* GagPenis: A male stripper the girls visit early on has a gigantic endownment, tastefully hidden by a ''foot long'' black bar.

* VivaLasVegas: Lots of sex, neon lights and booze and run ins with crime. Unusually for the trope none of the main characters do any gambling.
