Undergrads was a short-lived Canadian-American animated series from 2001, from MTV and Decode Entertainment. Like other MTV cartoons, such as Daria and Beavis And Butthead, it was adult-oriented and contained very mature content. And like every MTV cartoon not called Daria or Beavis And Butt-Head, it only lasted a handful of episodes, ending on a cliffhanger.The show is about four lifelong friends and their experiences during their first year at college. Nitz, the protagonist, is an Everyman who constantly lets college life stress him out. Cal, his roommate, is a ditzy Dumb Blonde with an inexplicably rich sex life. Rocko is part of a fraternity and is obsessed with girls, booze and Wacky Fratboy Hijinx, to the annoyance of his frat mates. The fourth, Gimpy (called G-Prime by his peers), is a tech geek who attends an MIT-like university and develops a personal cult due to his hacking prowess. He stays connected to the others mainly via the internet, though they all still live in the same city.At the start of the year, two major people are introduced to the audience: Jessie, a hip, punk-ish girl who befriends Nitz and helps him learn the ropes (and later develops a crush on him), and Kimmy, a beautiful drama student with whom Nitz is smitten (and has been since high school). There are other recurring characters as well, including Rocko's frat "friends", Nitz and Cal's hippie-like Residential Assistant The Duggler, Jessie's friends (Brody, a film student with an encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture and old movies, Kruger, a profanity-spewing chain smoker, and Dan, a geek who just laughs), Kimmy's (unbeknownst to her, gay) friend Mark, and Gimpy's minions.Although the show is set in college, the characters are never shown in class; episodes mainly focus on other aspects of campus life, like dealing with roommates, fitting in with groups, attending mixers, getting student loans, and figuring out what to do in life. Oh, and girls and booze, naturally.On September 24th, 2018, a Kickstarter was launched seeking funding for Undergrads: The Movie. It reached its funding goal on October the 27th of that year with a planned release in 2025. | |

Right Behind Me | |
| Undergrads / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: After dealing with a drunken, obnoxious Rocko all weekend, culminating with him destroying the travel clock Nitz was going to give to Kimmy, Nitz finally erupts, ranting to Kimmy about what an awful friend Rocko is... only to realize he's standing right behind him. Which is of course right when Rocko has tried to fix the clock after realizing what a pain in the ass he'd been. | |

| Undergrads / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Rocko thinks he's about to enter a wacky fratboy movie akin to Animal House. Turns out that's not how his frat actually works. Gimpy in the first episode thinks that he and Rocko won't be able to continue being friends because frat boys and nerds can never get along. He then tries to sabotage Rocko's attempts to get into the fraternity by sending his nerd pals in... who actually get along very well with the guys thanks to their tech know-how. | |

Unknown Rival: Rocko effectively becomes this for State U as a whole in "Rivalries," when he tries to start a rivalry between his school and the State U. It doesn't work because his college doesn't even have an athletics department and everyone finds his antics more amusing than offensive. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| Undergrads / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Pretty much everyone. Nitz however favors the "closet full of the same outfit" version of the trope, as shown in the last episode when Cal gives out his clothes to girls after sleeping with them. Taken further with one girl in "Risk" who literally owns nothing but one bikini, and spends most of the episode covering her boobs with her hands, looking for her missing top (Cal has it). | |

Initiation Ceremony: Subverted with Rocko's fraternity. The college banned embarrassing hazing rituals, so they just have a get-together party.

Oblivious to Hatred: Cal never seems to realize that Rocko hates him. If the picture montage in the show's opening is any indication, Rocko has hated Cal for basically their entire lives and Cal remains blissfully ignorant of it. Cal is also blissfully unaware of how much other people hate him until Gimpy discovers an entire website dedicated to how much people (mostly men who had their girlfriends cheat on them with Cal) hate him. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Gimpy's first love is She-Prime, a girl online. At the end of the episode it's revealed that their dorm rooms are located right next to each other. And neither of them ever found out. The entire series ended on this note. Kimmy and Nitz got together. Things work out well for the other three, and the only thing that went wrong was that Jessie and Nitz aren't on easy terms now. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Rocko does legitimately care about his friends (besides possibly Cal), though. Tellingly, when Nitz calls the guys out on forgetting his birthday, Rocko is the only one who actually looks regretful and immediately apologizes (and also punches himself in the face for good measure). | |

However, this doesn't have the desired effect, as nobody really liked the mascot anyway so they just start cheering Cal getting his ass kicked. Lampshaded at the end of the episode, when the characters remark on what they've learned... | |

Surprisingly Creepy Moment | |
| Undergrads / int_4fa637b0 | comment |
Surprisingly Creepy Moment: When Gimpy is training Rocko and Cal to help him win in a video game, he briefly finds Cal in the bathroom with his joystick. When Gimpy demands to know why he's wasting time, Cal just says in a very creepy way "Hey, Guy. I'm mastering my joystick." Gimpy then slowly backs away from Cal. Gets even creepier when you realize this is a reference to the "Gomer Pyle" suicide scene from Full Metal Jacket. | |

Hikikomori: Gimpy, natch. He'll go to extreme lengths to avoid leaving his room, going so far as to send Mump poorly disguised as him to his home on Christmas vacation. In "Identity Crisis," Nitz gets fed up with his status as the Generic Guy on campus and isolates himself in his room. Subsequently, he becomes more popular at that point as legends begin to build up around the mysterious "Room Guy." | |

Achievements in Ignorance: It's hinted that Cal has won every Risk game the clique plays despite being completely oblivious to the rules. Rocko always gets eliminated early, which results in Nitz and Gimpy focusing entirely on each other as Cal is no threat — this always escalates to Gimpy getting so worked up he uses Kamikaze attacks which leaves both their armies so decimated that Cal is the only one left who possibly can win. | |

All Love Is Unrequited | |
| Undergrads / int_7a82c3d2 | comment |
All Love Is Unrequited: Kimmy to Mark, Nitz to Kimmy, Jessie to Nitz... Hell, in one episode Nitz to Jessie. That's right, they both manage to have unrequited love towards each other. Why she never bothered to reciprocate (or have mixed feelings) about this when he was openly crushing on her wasn't explained. It could be that Jessie's earlier rejection of Nitz was meant to show that she knew he wasn't really into her because he liked her, but because he had accidentally seen her naked. When Nitz initially proposes they go out (and then 'get in the same bed'), Jessie doesn't flat-out reject him - all she says is that she can't because she has a previous commitment that night to work on a project with her classmates. If Nitz hadn't subsequently made a big show of asking Jessie out in public, disrupting her plans and embarrassing her, she might well have reciprocated. | |

Only Known by Their Nickname: Nitz's real name is Parker Walsh. It's mentioned a select few times. Nitz mentions in the pilot he's forgotten how and why he acquired the name. Gimpy's real name is Justin Taylor, but like Nitz the story is never revealed. It's unknown if Mump is a nickname or his real name. | |

Ring-Ring-CRUNCH! | |

Ring-Ring-CRUNCH!: In one episode, Nitz stupidly promises Kimmy that he has a travel clock with an assload of features. While he's trying to find a clock to buy on the internet Rocko shows up and has nowhere else to go. Rocko decides the two of them should spend Friday night getting wasted rather than looking for a clock. Nitz doesn't drink and spends the whole night worrying about the clock. When he wakes up an hour before he meets Kimmy to give it to her he realizes he's fucked and Gimpy tells him to relax and it's on its way. When it arrives he goes to get ready to meet Kimmy. But since it's a travel clock designed for different time zones the alarm goes off waking up a hungover Rocko. Nitz returns to the room to find Rocko smashing it with a bat. Later, when Gimpy messages for help over the computer, Rocko holds up the same bat and say "Smash?" In "Risk", Rocko is woken from his stupor by an annoying noise, and angrily smashes his alarm clock... only to realize he doesn't own an alarm clock. It then shows that Rocko actually smashed his computer keyboard, and the noise was coming from downstairs. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |

Non-Standard Character Design: Some characters look more realistically drawn, such as Rocko, Kimmy, and Nitz. Others look much more cartoony, like Mump, Cal, and Gimpy, who almost seems like he's from a different show entirely. Several characters have giant heads (Nitz, Gimpy, Kimmy), while others are more-or-less realistically-proportioned (most background characters). | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Undergrads / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Nitz gets this frequently — usually because he was ignoring his friends to chase Kimmy. Jessie gives him one of these frequently (and literally at least once), and the rest of his gang also mock him for bailing on them. Mump calls Gimpy out on his making of fake IDs that would allow for underage students to drink illegally. Gimpy's fellow students all turn on him after Mump is injured and Gimpy seems to show no regard for him. This leads to former Techerson Tech top dog Spud attempting to reclaim his former throne. | |

He begins to frantically work out to lose the weight in time, but winds up streaking anyway since it's too foggy for anyone to see his slightly pudgy build (though he didn't know that at the time he changed his mind, having decided that crazy memories of college are more important than worrying about passing embarrassment). | |

Big Damn Heroes: Nitz, Jessie, Brodie, Kruger & Dan play this role... in a team deathmatch when they arrive to help an outgunned Gimpy defeat Spud in a contest to decide if Star Wars or Star Trek is to be the dominant force in their dorms. | |

| Undergrads / int_ebe5d89c | comment |
Disco Dan: The Duggler is a '60s hippy (the whole reason he joined the school newspaper is so he can pretend he's a student activist) decades after The '60s ended. Kimmy has her moments, what with her role in campus protests. | |

Minor with Fake I.D. | |
| Undergrads / int_ec1a3ca6 | comment |
Minor with Fake I.D.: In "Drunks", Nitz can't get into a bar because he's too young. Jessie shows him her fake ID and suggests he ask Gimpy, who then starts a business making fake IDs. Rocko, meanwhile, has a fake ID that is just a piece of cardboard with his photo and "I Am 21 so Drinking is Yes" written in pencil, which somehow works (or the bouncers don't really care). | |

Le Film Artistique | |

Le Film Artistique: The film Nitz watches with Jessie and her friends which is a parody of The Thin Red Line in particular and The Vietnam War movies in general (although the former is actually a World War II movie). | |

Dumbass Has a Point: Even lampshaded by Rocko when he comes up with an idea his friends don't think is a bad one for once: In "Drunks", Nitz plans to visit a bar to get closer to Kimmy, and the topic of what he's going to drink comes up. Cal makes a very valid point, seeing as Nitz is underage: | |

Easily Forgiven: A Running Gag with Cal is how quickly women will forgive him after he does something to annoy or anger them. After going on how much of a jerk he is, they'll then say: "Call me." | |

Face Palm: Nitz has been waiting for Kimmy to show up at a party. When she calls, Cal answers and tells her she doesn't have to show up because there are plenty of other pretty ladies there. Cue Face Palm, first by Nitz, then by everyone else at the party. | |

The entire series ended on this note. Kimmy and Nitz got together. Things work out well for the other three, and the only thing that went wrong was that Jessie and Nitz aren't on easy terms now. | |
