History Film / MeanGirls

** Averted with Ms. Norbury, who proves to be very understanding of what Cady and the other girls are going through.

* DumbBlonde: Karen again. But averted with Regina, who is the evil type of blonde.

* SequelHook: Averted. The sequel has no recurring characters aside from Principal Duvall. It might appear that the "Junior Plastics" seen at the end is this, but the sequel focuses on a completely different cast of characters.

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: There is little chance someone who was hit by a bus and injured badly enough to need a halo (meaning that she damaged part of her neck) would ever be cleared to play a sport as physical as lacrosse, let alone in just a few months.

* AffablyEvil: Evil is a ''massive'' stretch, but Regina's mother, June, is very pleasant, lenient, polite, laid-back, and harmless (if somewhat embarrassing to be around due to her wanting to be a "cool" mother) , even as the mother of a girl who's basically a bully.

* BigWHAT: When Janis and Damian goes to Cady's house and unintentionally expose the latter for lying, Janis calls Cady out and Cady ridiculously mistakes her anger for a romantic jealousy toward her, which Janis reasonably reacts this way.

** Cady assuring Regina has a lot of water weight from eating the kaltein bars and not fat.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: During the fight between Cady and Janis, both sides bring up valid arguments. Cady points out none of this would've started if Janis didn't ask her to infiltrate the Plastic to get her (admittedly well-deserved) payback on Regina. Janis is also right to point out that by this point Cady has all but abandoned her real friends in her effort to go out with Aaron and get back at Regina, something she never did.

* SecondLove: Despite it is unclear whether Regina is Aaron's ''very'' first love or not, but given how Aaron was affected upon discovering that she's cheating on him (again), it's obvious that Cady becomes his second love after he manages to get over Regina.
