The Plot

The story features American Pie-style humor. Two awkward teenage boys, "Seth" and "Evan", try to lose their virginity before heading off to college.

Superbad Quotes

• • Evan: "McLovin? What kind of a stupid name is that, Fogell? What, are you trying to be an Irish R&B; singer?"

• • Fogell: "There is a very good reason for why my fake I.D. says I’m 25 and not 21. Everyday hundreds of kids go to the liquor store with fake I.D.s that say they’re 21. Just how many 21-year-olds are there in this town? It’s called strategy."
