| 3 | ''Best Night Ever'' is a 2014 comedy film written and directed by [[Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer]] and starring Desiree Hall, Samantha Colburn, Eddie Ritchard and Crista Flanagan. Uniquely for a Friedberg and Seltzer film it is ''not'' a spoof. |

| 8 | !!''Best Night Ever'' provides examples of the following tropes: |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Epically so; though drugs are also involved. |
| 11 | * BigFun: Janet is chubby (by {{Hollywood|Pudgy}} standards; by normal standards she's average size) and constantly cheerful and bubbly. |
| 12 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Two redheads actually (Claire and Leslie) but otherwise the leads fit this trope well. |
| 13 | * FoundFootageFilms: The movie is shot 'in-universe' via Zoe's camcorder, making this a rare comedy example of this trope. |
| 14 | * GagPenis: A male stripper the girls visit early on has a gigantic endownment, tastefully hidden by a ''foot long'' black bar. |
| 15 | * TheGhost: Claire's fiance never appears onscreen, though we do briefly hear his voice via a phonecall. |
| 16 | * {{Slapstick}}: A lot of the comedy stems from the girls, especially Janet, getting AmusingInjuries. |
| 17 | * TheStoner: [[spoiler:Uptight, prim, proper Leslie of all people!]] |
| 18 | * VivaLasVegas: Lots of sex, neon lights and booze and run ins with crime. Unusually for the trope none of the main characters do any gambling. |
