* SoftGlass: While an epic CrowningMomentOfAwesome (as well as a ShoutOut to ''OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest''), DeMartino throwing a kitchen sink through a large window and then climbing through the opening with a dozen kids in tow should probably have caused at least half the kids lacerating their hands on the shards still stuck to the windowsill.

** Averted with Brittany. Popular, blonde, rich, head of the cheerleading squad, she displays all of the indicators... except for the fact that she's slightly less vicious than a shoebox full of puppies. The only Alpha Bitchy thing she ever does is... attempt to get back at her boyfriend.

* LampshadeHanging: Jodie feels pressure, being the perfect role model for all the Afroamerican kids in school - and she then points out that there aren't any Afroamerican kids except for her and Mack. In "Life in the Past Lane" when Jane's new boyfriend means a new retro style, she says "This was so much easier when I only had one outfit."

* StrawFan: In ''Camp fear'' meets Amalia, who's very happy to hang out with Daria even though Daria can barely tolerate her. Seeing that two other campers were modeled after two fans as part of a contest, Amelia might have been a jab at some overly enthousiastic fans of Daria who gloss over the fact that Daria might not like them all that much.

* {{Asexuality}}: Hinted at in numerous episodes and explicitly confirmed in "My Night At Daria's". She's still heteromantic mind, having a crush on Trent [[spoiler: and eventually dating Tom]].
** In a chat released after ''It Is Fall Yet?'', Daria said that she planned to have sex eventually, and that she did not consider herself ready at that time. This could be read as being in denial. (Things were probably not set in stone back then.)

-->'''Daria:''' Mom's resentful that she has to work so hard, which obscures her guilt about actually wanting to work so hard. Dad's guilty about being less driven than Mom, but thinks it's wrong to feel that way. So, he hides behind a smokescreen of cluelessness. Quinn wears superficiality like a suit of armor, because she's afraid to looking inside and finding absolutely nothing. And I'm so defensive that I actually work to make people dislike me so I won't feel bad when they do. Can I go now?

* {{Expy}}: According to WordOfGod, Brittany was intentionally based off of former MTV V.J. and star Jenny [=McCarthy=] as what they merely imagined how she was as a teenager (although in RealLife Jenny was a straight A student, fairly down to earth although still pretty funny.).\\

** In "Malled", we have "Fuzzy-Wuzzy-Weebit" - Anyone who remembers a particular fad in the 90s can tell you they're like Beanie Babies.

Unfortunately not so. you can see from the dress later on her bosom hangs quite a bit below that level, The dress does fall a tad low but the only thing \'not drawn in\' is cleavage.


* AnimeAnatomy: Fairly easy to miss, but in "I Don't", when Daria is getting fitted for her brides maid dress, it sags low enough to clearly expose her breasts at one point. Obviously nothing is shown.

* BumblingDad: Jake. Zigzagged in that Jake ''tries'' to be a good dad in spite of his screwed-up childhood at the hands of his father, Mad-Dog Morgendorffer. The success rate of Jake trying to be a good father to his daughters varies from episode to episode (though it should be noted that, unlike some parents who were abused as children, Jake doesn't take out his anger on his wife or daughters -- opting instead to blame himself, his deceased father, and others who had nothing to do with his life).
