* TakeThat: After finding out the truth about X-Treme Blue, Abe angrily calls it "a shallow ploy by racist mammy breakfast foods to jazz up an old product with extreme marketing," alluding to a similar criticism lobbied against Aunt Jemima pancakes in the late '80s and early '90s after the mascot was redesigned from a stereotypical black "mammy" to a modern, more attractive African-American woman to downplay (rather than take responsibility for) the product's racist origins as Confederate nostalgia.

* IAteWhat: X-Treme Blue is actually nothing more than [[spoiler:pancake batter mixed with blue house paint in a sports bottle. Gandhi eats it nonstop for four days and almost dies from malnutrition as a result.]]

* PunBasedTitle: The title is a pun on the (in)famously shoddy film, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, which, like Clone High, became memetically famous in the 2010s.

Cleopatra's term as class president is coming to an end, and with term limits, means she is not able to run for re-election. Distraught, she talks John F Kennedy into running as her successor, so he can abolish term limits, and then name her as his successor. Abe is at first vary of running as his opponent, hinted to be subconscious fears brought on by the originals gruesome demise while in office, but when Joan encourages him, he decides that becoming class president is just the thing needed to make Cleo like him, much to Joans frustration. Meanwhile, Principal Scudworth is unable to talk the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures into giving the school 2 million dollars, money he intends to use for his Cloney Island amusement park, and instead turns to corporate sponsorship in the form of X-Treme Blue, a power snack product utilizing cheap TotallyRadical promotional tactics to attract the Generation Y crowd. The two plotlines intersect when X-Treme Blue agrees to sponsor Abes campaign, due to Abes lackluster performance on his own, in return for his endorsement of their product. With the race between JFK and Abe now dead even, it all comes down to the results of the last debate, which is hosted by Music/MarilynManson.

* GoLookAtTheDistraction: A variation. When Ghandi asks the X-Treme Blue promoters what it's made of, they reward him with a free t-shirt. His response? "That totally answered my question!"

** Gandhi actually asks the promoters what it's made of, and [[NonAnswer is promptly given a T-shirt]]. His response? "That ''totally'' answered my question!!"

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Said word for word by Abe when [[spoiler: Gandhi almost dies from eating nothing but X-Treme Blue for three days]].

* TotallyRadical: X-Treme Blue is an EXTREMELY painful version of this trope, being little more than a string of catchphrases and shallow imitation of youth culture of the late 90's crammed into a marketing campaign.
