 Dirty Deeds
comment
One guy with a crush. One hottie with a brain he's out to impress. One sociopathic school bully. One wild night full of dares that could potentially land the doer in jail. It's Dirty Deeds, the 2005 raunchy teen comedy that relies on the most basic of tropes and has the most predictable plot.Full of Retroactive Recognition galore and a laughably exaggerated spin on the teen comedy genre, this movie follows Zach on his quest to win over his brainy beauty after her dorky younger brother agrees to take on the school bully by engaging in dares to prove he's tough. To get her brother off the hook, he does the deeds and ends up getting way more than he bargained for. . . like an ex criminal friend, a model's bra and most importantly, the girl. Cliches follow.

comment
Police Are Useless: Officer Dill has every right to be suspicious of the catatonic man in the car with Zach and his friend, but does nothing when he sees the old man fall into Zach's friend's lap. He just looks disgusted and tells them to leave.

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!
 Dirty Deeds / int_78c5ce7e
comment
Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Lawton cheated on numerous occasions. He and his friends slashed his tires and falsely pretended to be someone else who was pretending to help him with a deed, only to lead him to elsewhere. Then, when Lawton sees Zach is completing the deeds, beat him up as he was leaving and then got JD to return for his revenge after Zach punched him. He later gets called out for this by his girlfriend.

Mood Whiplash: Everyone's whooping and clamoring for Zach, but then the deed that comes next, which is essentially impossible leads to Duncan Rime showing up and delivering An Aesop about the pointlessness of the Dirty Deeds and high school popularity.

comment
Adults Are Useless: Officer Dill actually leaves the protection of the entire student body to the jocks, and even refers to them as the leaders of the school. Law enforcement. Leaves the jocks. Who terrorize everyone. To make sure nobody does the Dirty Deeds. Let that sink in.

Hypocritical Humor: One of the deeds sees Zach having to steal a homecoming queen's bra. He hits up a woman and asks, but she rebuffs him saying he's sick. Cut to her in dominatrix garb with her "slave."

Running Gag: Officer Dill attempted the Dirty Deeds but only got through one. Also, his last name spurs all the kids within earshot to turn it into a sex toy when he introduces himself. Also, the high school graduate who likes to make out with his underage girlfriends in the middle of traffic.

Dark and Troubled Past: Although Zach takes the heat from Principal Fuchs most of the time, Zach is pretty much the good evil. It's implied that this is because his father is not around, as evidenced from a conversation with Fuchs when he says he couldn't reach Zach's father.
