Anticipatory Breath Spray: Michael does this repeatedly in the "Cinderella Play" episode when he's cast as the male lead (who thus gets to kiss Dina).Amusing Injuries: Nine times out of ten, Ug, but "Budnick Loves Dina" had so many characters suffer accidents that by episode's end those two were the only people not on crutches.All Girls Want Bad Boys: Dina doesn't like Budnick unless he's a bad boy.Adults Are Useless: Well, only one, really.Camp counselor Kevin "Ug" Lee.Tropes used in Salute Your Shorts include: Later in the season, however, he becomes much more restrained and fallible (though still with his moments of Bueller-like mischief), and his popularity is significantly lower.
