"How's this for a band camp story?"
In General
  • Any time the guys are shown walking side-by-side, set to some rock music.

American Pie

  • Oz has to decide between his lacrosse team and the choir group. In the end, he follows his heart.
  • The moment Jim, in a break from a raunchy sex comedy, acknowledges that even guys get tired of the pressure to have sex. Many guys gave this movie a few extra points for that.
    "Have to what, Kev, huh? I don't have to do shit. Forget it already. I am so sick and tired of all this bullshit pressure. I've never even had sex, and already, I can't stand it. I hate sex! And I'm not gonna stand around here busting my balls over something that, quite frankly, isn't that damn important. I'm gonna go hang out with that geek over there... 'cause at least she has something else to talk about besides sex."
  • The four boys simultaneously losing their virginity at the climax of the first movie. The details may differ for each (Kevin: a bittersweet ending of a teenage romance, Oz: the beautiful blossoming of a new relationship, Finch: a rampant lust-fueled tryst with Stifler's mom, and Jim: a bizarre S&M encounter with his future love) but it still is a fist-pumping accomplishment and well-earned for each of the boys.

American Pie 2

  • "The Sherminator" soliloquy, with the obligatory theme.
  • "I'm not retarded. I'm a very special boy!"

American Wedding

  • The epic dance-off between Stifler and Bear in Wedding in the gay bar. It has to be seen to be believed.
    Finch: Mother of God.
    • Even better, they were there to track down a famous designer who could make Michelle's wedding dress. He was so entertained by the show he agrees to do it.
    "Now that was worth anything! I'm Leslie Summers, and you've got yourself a dress!"
  • In Wedding after he accidentally kills all the wedding flowers, Stifler replaces them at the last minute with the help of the high school football team he coaches.

American Reunion

  • Stifler gets several:
    • First, he tells off his asshole boss in front of the gang and the boss's girlfriend.
    • Then he punches out Heather's douchebag boyfriend Dr. Ron as he makes fun of Oz and threatens to sue him if he tried hitting him. Stifler can do it because he "ain't worth jack shit."
    • Incensed at some Jerkass men stealing bikinis from girls, Stifler goes looking for them. He told each of his friends different stories: he'll flip them off, steal their beer, and use their cooler as a toilet. He does all three, after hooking up the Jerkasses' jet skis to his truck, before driving off and smashing them up.
    • Finally, he gets the perfect vengeance on Finch for all the times he had sex with Stifler's mom: Stifler has sex with Finch's mom.
  • Finch reveals that his boss cheated him out of a raise, so he stole his motorcycle.

Awesome Music

  • American Pie 2 has some macho tunes like "Want You Bad" by The Offspring, "Renegade Fighter" by Zed and "In Too Deep" by Sum 41. Countering this are a few feminine tunes like "I Will" by Lucia and "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch.
  • Wedding has the medley from when Stifler and Bear did their dance-off.
  • Reunion features a soundtrack filled with classic hit songs from The '90s. ("Closing Time", "My Own Worst Enemy", "The Freshmen", etc.)
