Fashion-Victim Villain: K.C.'s goofy Dreamsicle-orange ensemble. This is even brought up by Freeman and Peters at one point; in fact, it's such a contrast from Brooklyn's basic black clothes that you could view the duo as villainous versions of Batman and Robin.
Ham and Cheese: Bernie Mac is deliciously hammy in his role and is clearly enjoying earning his dues.
Hollywood Pudgy: Tricks is depicted as this, being considered fat when she is slightly overweight, at the most.
Just Here for Godzilla: There are some who watch this movie just for the fight between Diana and Ronnie at the climax of the movie.
Moral Event Horizon: Reggie, Clyde and Ronnie are among one of the many villains of the film, but they hit full stride when they each had a hand in allowing Ebony to get raped by Junior. Ronnie knows what kind of man her brother is and even after discovering what he did, she still covers for him, Reggie was the one who told Junior that she would let him (and the other men at the party) run a train on her and Clyde distracted Ronnie with the allure of weed to let it happen. Also, not only do both men get away with their act(and it's implied that they do it to another woman in the future with Diana saying that they were last seen at "The Freaknik")note An episode of True Life chronicled the "Freaknik", a now-defunct Hip-Hop musical festival version of spring break, where two men groped and assaulted a woman on camera while the cameras continued to roll with the suggestion they were the men who did it or at least among those who had committed other, non-televised sexual harrassments/assaults at the event, but every man left the party as the rape happens instead of making any attempt to stop it or summon help. Reggie even implies he did it because Ebony said no to him.
They Copied It, So It Sucks!: Averted. It's pretty obvious that the film was inspired by Showgirls, but what makes this an aversion is that while the film wasn't a runaway hit, it had a somewhat better reception, intentional humor (except in places where there wasn't supposed to be) and had more sympathetic characters, namely with Diamond being a more believable heroine (and actress) than Nomi.
