  • Bartleby is making fake IDs in the opening scene and Glen doesn't get that wearing a high school shirt in the fake ID photo will make it clear he's not really 21. Everyone's Oh, Crap! reaction when they learn the vice-principal is on his way to that room to masturbate in less than a minute is also funny.
  • In a Funny Background Event, when Bartleby's family is touring the school, a kid who was playing with the shock paddles before the blackout is seen walking out of the electroshock room with his hair sticking up.
  • Glen claims that not getting into any college because of his SAT score of 0 is "political." He's embarrassed to find out that he could have got 600 points just by signing his name.
  • Bartleby mentions that his sister got conceived when he and Schrader stole Bartleby's mom's birth control pills and refers to their current situation as even worse than that.
  • When Bartleby asks the "students" to raise their hands for who applied to other colleges, then asked who applied and got accepted at their previous choice., Schrader is the only one who keeps his hand up! Even funnier is Hands' expression of disgust when the rest of the kids lowered their hands and Schrader doesn't!!
  • The scene where Bartleby is eating the brownie while telling Hoyt that the college wasn't for sale.
    • And the "blow shit up" kid telling Hoyt it's SHIT, "the best college ever", then finds the door locked; he asks if it's a test.
  • Sherman reacting to a Jump Scare, and the resultingnoise he makes. The way it goes on for so long really sells it.
  • "Ask me about my wiener," among many others.
  • Everything that Lewis Black says, seriously!
  • "WHAT ARE YOU?!?!?! *chomp!*"
  • No mention of the wads?
  • The scene at the very end, where that one kid successfully blows up the Dean's car with his mind.
  • Smug Snake: "How does one major in bumper stickers?"
  • Rory repeatedly emphasizing she didn't get into Yale in her intro.
  • When Bartleby starts to show Monica around the SHIT campus, they pass the kitchen- the doors suddenly belch out flames and smoke, and Glen is ejected covered in yellow goop. When Bartleby asks what the hell happened, Glen responds "an explosion of flavor- I'm working with very unstable herbs!"
  • Schrader's lines are also pure gold.
    • "Yeah, cool guys. Let's start this fake college, and then we'll go start a meth lab somewhere. Come on, it's a gateway crime. That's how these things start."
    • "I hope you have hobo stab insurance."
    • (Speaking to Hoyt): "You date Monica Moreland...I think about her when I masturba..."
    • When Schrader is first pointing out that the fake college's name (South Harmon Institute of Technology) spells out SHIT as an acronym, Bartleby fully embraces and even has fun with it. The school's mascot: the SHIT Sandwiches. The school paper: The SHITrag. The nickname for the students: "SHITheads".
      • Kiki, who designed the university's fashion, calls it the SHITline.
  • Guy gawking at women sunbathing in pool: "Can't believe this is a class."
    • Guys behind him (collectively):...Yeah.
  • Hands about his erect African fertility sculpture: "The wood speaks to me."
    • The Brick Joke at the end where it's revealed he sculpted a gigantic version while taking a group on a tour.
      • "Watch the tip."
  • Abernathy Darwin Dunlap (ADD): Just his spastic behavior in general and the fact that his initials match his disorder. When ADD first arrives, Bartleby mistakes him for a mental patient who doesn't know that the hospital is closed.
