Saving Silverman / int_11ad560b | comment |
Wayne ends up falling for Control Freak and Manipulative Bitch Judith because, as he says she is "the hardcore bitch that [he] always dreamed of" (which he says while she's strangling him). | |

Those Two Guys | |
Saving Silverman / int_1c79ae8c | comment |
Judith is older, taller and smarter than her naive boyfriend Darren and she bullies him into changing all of his personal habits, and makes life hell for his two friends, as well. Through it all, Darren never stops loving Judith; after the two buddies kidnap her, stash her in a basement, and tell Silverman that she died, he is inconsolable and builds a shrine to her memory. He only really ends up leaving her because he loved Sandy more. | |

Damsel out of Distress | |
Saving Silverman / int_2b49eaf | comment |
Damsel out of Distress: When Wayne and J.D. try to "kidnap" Judith, she promptly kicks their asses with her martial arts skills, and they just barely manage to subdue her by tazing her. And later, she still manages to escape on her own by breaking a vase at J.D.'s head, seducing Wayne and beating up Coach Norton. Played With since she is the villain. | |

Lousy Lovers Are Losers: Despite being gorgeous, Judith is shown to be a selfish lover when she has Darren spend hours pleasuring her via oral sex, to the point that he gets a sore jaw, but is unwilling to do anything for him after, giving him a lame excuse that she has "Sensitive gums". When he suggests she can pleasure him in other ways (obviously implying a handjob) she just dismissively hands him over a porn magazine and some lotion and tells him "Have fun" before she rolls over (implying that he's supposed to masturbate on his own). | |

Let's Wait Awhile: Played unsympathetically. Judith refuses to have sex with Darren until they're married, but is portrayed as inconsiderate since she keeps him sexually frustrated by changing her clothes in front of him or acting seductively. When she relents that oral sex before marriage is acceptable, she only has him get her off and doesn't return the favor. | |

Have I Mentioned I Am Gay? | |
Saving Silverman / int_cc28a8d7 | comment |
Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?: Judith uses her psychological know-how to give J.D. an impromptu therapy where she tries to convince him he's gay. She's actually surprised by how easily it works, implying he actually was actually gay and didn't know, and starts telling it to everyone. By the end of the film, Coach Norton also suddenly reveals he's gay and they get married. | |

Dark Action Girl | |
Saving Silverman / int_d5b3df2d | comment |
Dark Action Girl: Unlike most female villains in movies of this type, Judith almost never relies on her sexuality as a weapon, preferring instead to utilize physical strength, athleticism, and her impressive intellect. That just might be the reason she's increasingly portrayed as a Noble Demon as the film goes along, and in the end experiences a Heel–Face Turn. | |

Fetishized Abuser | |
Saving Silverman / int_e1a4ba8a | comment |
Fetishized Abuser: Judith is older, taller and smarter than her naive boyfriend Darren and she bullies him into changing all of his personal habits, and makes life hell for his two friends, as well. Through it all, Darren never stops loving Judith; after the two buddies kidnap her, stash her in a basement, and tell Silverman that she died, he is inconsolable and builds a shrine to her memory. He only really ends up leaving her because he loved Sandy more. Wayne ends up falling for Control Freak and Manipulative Bitch Judith because, as he says she is "the hardcore bitch that [he] always dreamed of" (which he says while she's strangling him). | |

Lysistrata Gambit: A variation. When Darren refuses to follow Judith's order to quit the band, she forbids him from having sex with her again despite the fact their sex life is incredibly one-sided. | |

Would Hit a Girl: Judith and Wayne are evenly matched as far as physical strength goes, and trade punches in the mouth, each spitting out a tooth afterward. By the end of the film, they're both sporting "hockey grins." | |

Saving Silverman / int_fe1e7 | comment |
Nuns Are Funny / Nun Too Holy: A frequent source of Sandy's humor comes from the convent she wants to join having a very well-equipped (and used!) weight room. And while the nuns themselves are perfectly amenable when Sandy explains she's leaving to be with Darren, we quickly find out that they're more disappointed than they let on. | |
