- The singing scenes are the clear attraction, with the pool riff-off singled out as a repeatedly watched favorite.
- No Diggity is loved despite Kendrick’s rap; the Bellas would seem to win except for the it/its rule, while the Treblemakers receive a competing preference.
- Astin’s Feels Like the First Time performance, showboating and jacket dancing are particularly appealing.
- The riff-off receives agreement.
- The Since U Been Gone audition medley is another favorite for its quick introduction to everyone, especially Astin and Dean.
- Cups is considered the film’s most famous legacy rather than the favorite scene; its radio ubiquity and imitable cup routine provoked affectionate exhaustion.
- Jesse showing Beca DVDs on the lawn is nominated as a sweet, earnest Dawson’s Creek-like moment.
- A dissenting preference favors the polished finals performances over the riff-off’s awkward interruptions.
- Both groups impress, and Aubrey visibly loosens up by taking down her hair and removing a blazer.
- The Bellas’ final medley is diminished for one speaker by dislike of The Breakfast Club and Don’t You Forget About Me, strongly disputed by the others.
- The Titanium shower duet combines comedy and music; the male onlooker’s compliment and lady-jam exchange are funny despite the intrusive staging.
- Beca’s awed question about knowing David Guetta is an especially embarrassing joke.
- The final scene answer returns to the riff-off, with the finals dissent acknowledged.
