Line 92:
** In the 2007 musical, there is a shot of Penny's mother reading aloud from the Bible during the opening of the pageant. The passage she's reading happens to be about Lot's daughters conspiring to get him drunk and have sex with him.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Penny.
* [[Graceful Loser]]:
** In the second movie, Amber was surprisingly mature about her defeat, indicating [[Character Development]]. She and her mother ''both'' become graceful losers in the stage show as well, after much sulking, they give in and realize that they "can't stop the beat". See [[Heel Face Turn]] below.
** In the second movie, Tracy is screaming with joy when Inez wins the title of Miss Teenage Hairspray. She gives her a big hug and they jump happily.
* [[Happily Married]]: Edna and Wilbur.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Amber and Velma in the musical; just Amber seems to get one in the film (walking out on her mother and getting along with a black dancer), even after the unnecessary [[Humiliation Conga]].
Line 134 ⟶ 135:
''Don't need a cap or a gown''
''When you're the Nicest Kids in Town!''}}
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Corny Collins, the dance show host, who is very open to bending the rules and doing away with segregation. He hires Tracy after seeing her dance, and makes Inez the lead dancer on his show when she wins the contest. When Velma tells him to do something, he assures her that he will... and pulls Mama Morton onstage, saying it's her time to shine.
* [[Rose-Tinted Narrative]]
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: Motormouth Maybelle, the Dynamites.
