Bad Teacher is a 2011 comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan and starring Cameron Diaz in the title role. Also in the cast are Justin Timberlake, Jason Segel, Lucy Punch, Phyllis Smith, and John Michael Higgins.Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz) is a middle school teacher in the Illinois school system with a crude streak a mile wide and a total indifference to her job and students. When a new substitute teacher (Timberlake) enters the picture and she finds out he comes from a wealthy family, she decides she needs a boob job in order to win his affection. And as fate would have it, the best teacher in the district receives a bonus that year, so Elizabeth decides to turn her slovenly ways around in order to acquire it by becoming the best teacher ever. Obviously, it's easier said than done.Adapted into a short-lived TV series on CBS in 2014, with Ari Graynor in the lead. | |

Though it can be assumed that without Scott's finances she's still trapped in that small apartment with Kurt as her teacher salary will not be enough to launch her into a better home. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The chubby, geeky boy declares his love for the most popular girl in class... and she clearly and instantly rejects him. In one of her few nicer scenes, Elizabeth honestly (but not cruelly) tells him that girls like her simply don't go for guys like him, and that he won't be "cool" until college. She even gives him her bra to make the other kids think he hooked up with an older girl to restore his reputation. | |

Villain with Good Publicity: Elizabeth enjoys a good reputation that she earns through deception, manipulation (including bribery) and even extortion, which is how she managed to get the principal to overlook all her misdeeds and wring dollars out of her students' parents. In the end, the only one who doesn't like Elizabeth is Amy, though Amy did like her at first but that's before she realized what a cruel jerkass she is. | |

Apple for Teacher: This is something of an Achilles' Heel to Amy, who hands out apples to her students.

Hard Truth Aesop | |
| Bad Teacher / int_bbc77bb5 | comment |
Hard Truth Aesop: In-Universe, Elizabeth harshly tells Garrett that some girls like Chase are shallow bitches who will never care about "sensitive" guys like him, nor be impressed by his poetry and he should just move on. The conflict between the seemingly nice, but immature, Amy and the bitchy, but crafty, Elizabeth ends with Amy being framed for possessing drugs and transferred to a crappy school while Elizabeth is promoted to the guidance counselor and is able to get away with her actions. The lesson is no matter how "nice" you may be as a person, a ruthless, lying Jerkass with greater street smarts will win out over you, especially if you act like a weirdo to people and naively try and convince yourself that you can get this person to like you. Amy only nearly succeeds in getting Elizabeth fired by engaging in a bit of trickery with the desks, but Elizabeth was able to outmaneuver her anyways through a bit of blackmail and deception. | |

Heroes Want Redheads | |

Heroes Want Redheads: Scott, the object of Elizabeth's affection, is dating Amy, who is a redhead. Subverted as he's not the hero, nor is he the protagonist's final guy. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Bad Teacher / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Elizabeth is definitely a grade-A bitch, but she does have a few good moments. During her ruthless Stern Teacher mode, Elizabeth gives her students a rather odd boon if they get a question right: letting them sock her with a dodgeball. She encourages her pudgy colleague to go hang out with a dude who was checking her out. In one scene, Elizabeth gives her bra to one of her shy, awkward students so that he can use it as "proof" that he was caught making out with an eighth-grade girl, thereby making himself look cool to his classmates as well as the girl he has a crush on. | |

Not in the Face!: Elizabeth when taking a dodgeball for the cause. The kid that she throws the ball at goes for the face, anyway. | |
