- Buddy’s introduction and his maxim that desire overcomes embarrassment are nominated as memorable comic material.
- The masculine-behavior lesson is nominated, with the scratching instruction singled out.
- Rick’s sudden boxing skill at prom is entertaining but unexplained; an attempt is made to credit earlier resistance for tiring the bully.
- The reveal scene contains a conspicuous Cyndi Lauper mispronunciation; the failure to correct it is blamed on production oversight.
- The reveal, the indignant response about having breasts and the subsequent return home are remembered as irresistible cable-viewing material.
- The final explicit scene choice is Buddy teaching Terry to act like a guy. Two earlier preferences are alluded to without naming their scene again.
- Buddy singing Slowhand is another scene candidate.
- Buddy doing algebra and Terry returning drunk are another scene candidate.
- Buddy visiting Terry’s school is another scene candidate.
- Rick standing up to Greg is another scene candidate, with the nonviolent confrontation and insults praised.
