The 2012 film adaptation of the [[Series/TwentyOneJumpStreet late eighties series]] stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as two screw up rookie cops who get reassigned to an undercover program where "Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus lookin' mothas" are sent into high schools. It's an admitted attempt to avoid any creativity by digging up old programs and rehashing them and hoping people won't notice...the undercover program that is.

When it comes to the actual film, people did notice, people including the writers and directors who make the attempt work by acknowledging the absurdity of the situation and playing it for worthwhile laughs. On top of its own premise, the film pokes fun at the action movie genre and any high school movie where people only hang out in the same easily identifiable cliques[[hottip:*: i.e. all of them]].

----
!!The film provides examples of:
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: The One-Percenter gang.
* AngryBlackMan: Lampshaded by [[Music/IceCube Dickson]], who calls himself the "angry black [[DaChief Captain]]". The biker gang also has one of these, and that's their group leader.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:The coach is running the drug ring.]]
* [[BornInTheWrongCentury Born in the Wrong Decade]]: Schmidt wishes he had been born ten years later so that he would've been one of the cool kids during his first trip through high school.
* BrainlessBeauty: Jenko.
* CannotSpitItOut: Schmidt initially has a lot of trouble asking Molly to the prom.
* ChekhovsSkill: Jenko's newfound knowledge of chemistry comes in handy during the climax.
* DawsonCasting: But of course. Both in-universe and out of it. Subverted in that all the suspects keep commenting that Schmidt and Jenko look really old for teenagers.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Jenko finds out the hard way that, in the age of ''Series/{{Glee}}'', environmentalism and a more pro-tolerance atmosphere, his [[JerkJock alpha-male jock]] routine puts him a lot lower on the PopularityFoodChain than it did in the [[TurnOfTheMillennium early-mid '00s]]. Instead, it's Schmidt, the former high school nerd, whose personality and lifestyle are more in line with what's considered cool in TheNewTens.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Schmidt and Jenko are surprised when this turns out ''[[AvertedTrope not]]'' to be TruthInTelevision, after two close calls with a truck hauling gas tanks and a tanker truck. [[spoiler:[[RuleOfThree Except with a chicken truck, of all things]]]].
* EyePatchOfPower: [[spoiler:The leader of the One-Percenters sports one]].
* GilliganCut: Schmidt and Jenko enter the police force expecting "a lifetime of being {{badass}} motherfuckers". Instead, they're put on park patrol duty.
* GroinAttack: [[spoiler:The coach]] getting his dick shot off in the climax.
* HollywoodLaw: You only have to read suspects the MirandaRights when you're questioning them, not in order to arrest them or get the charges to stick.
* HighSchoolDance: Well, the prom actually and for Jenko, its SeriousBusiness
* JerkJock: Jenko was one of these in high school.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: Possibly Tom Hanson and his Jump Street partner after getting [[MoreDakka shot to hell]], though they aren't even mention afterward]].
* MirandaRights: It takes a few tries for Schmidt and Jenko to get these memorized.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Schmidt used to be like this.
* RemakeCameo: JohnnyDepp and Peter [=DeLuise=] [[spoiler:as undercover DEA agents]], as well as Holly Robinson Peete in a cameo.
** They might even be playing the same characters, since Depp mentions he was part of the original Jump Street force, and gives a speech making reference to the way his character acted.
** Depp addresses himself as Tom Hanson from the series.
* SchoolPlay: Schmidt plays PeterPan alongside Molly as Wendy.
* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: Jenko to Schmidt. [[SubvertedTrope They're friends now]], though their relationship does get strained.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Following the success of their bust, Schmidt and Jenko are assigned to continue the 21 Jump Street program at a college. A sequel is already in the early stages of development, with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum attached to return, and the former slated to co-write again]].
* SelfDeprecation: DaChief makes fun of restarting the 21 Jump Street program, saying that it was done by people stuck in the past who can't come up with any new ideas.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: [[spoiler: Subverted, Johnny Depp and his partner end up getting shot because they're talking.]]
