Identification of stereotypes in teen films

Stereotype - a widely held but fixed and over simplified image or idea of a particular type of person or a thing.

In Not Another Teen Movie uses many stereotypes that have been created in other teen movies. 
Such as...

The Pretty Ugly Girl


The Popular Jock


The Slutty Girls/Cheerleaders


The Perfect Girl

The Token Black Guy


The Wannabe

The Nasty Cheerleader


The Stupid Fat Guy 


The Cocky Blonde Guy


The Obsessed Best Friend



Intertextuality - Not Another Teen Movie uses examples and stereotypes from other movies like 10 Things I Hate About You, American Pie, The Karate Kid and many other teen films in order to humour the audience with the already made cliches.
