* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: Parodied with an outdated school policy from World War 2 that allows the teenagers voted in as Oakdale student body president unrestricted executive powers. This allows Duncan to pull off some truly audacious feats like replacing all the drinking fountains with soda machines and turning the model UN club room into a ball pit. However, while his authority is nigh-absolute, his budget isn't, and his burning through all the school's funds to not let his classmates down even if it meant hiring {{Music/BTS}} to act as hallway janitors is a major wake-up call for the campus that this presidential style is not sustainable.
