* FreudianExcuse: The first chapter establishes that Wallace’s fixation with telling the truth comes in response to his father being a rampant liar who would constantly neglect his family then make up wild stories for why he wasn’t around.

* SchoolNewspaperNewsHound: Parker Schmidt, who fills basically every position on the school newspaper... except the fact checker. They don't have one, so he tends to be very inaccurate. It doesn't help that his sources include people like [[{{Jerkass}} Cavanaugh]], giving him a wildly skewed story even before he infuses his usual sensationalism into it.

One time Wallace tries to be charitable and give him all the facts, as unbiased as he can make it, expecting Parker to finally tell the story right for once… only to see the next day’s newspaper story is full of wild truth-twisting anyway.

The improved version includes [[spoiler:a rapper, the cast on rollerskates, a band called The Dead Mangoes, a moped disguised to look like a motorcycle, and a stuffed dog on a remote control car.]]
