  1. I happen to be Mormon (LDS) and yes, there are many inside jokes about the LDS community. Napoleon wears a t-shirt that says 'Ricks College' which is a church-owned school that has since become BYU-Idaho. The way they talk is really how a lot of LDS people talk...myself included...with their "flip", "fetch", "gosh", "dang", etc. I thought this made the movie that much funnier. Walk down the street of any predominantly LDS community and you will hear all sorts of these words, and not just by kids, but adults. The Scout joke is also a joke because as was mentioned, most LDS boys are also Boy Scouts. The other inside joke is the playing of the song "Forever Young" by Alphaville. I graduated from high school in 1990 (in Salt Lake City) and I kid you not, that was the theme for almost every dance that I attended since it came out in 1986. In fact, I'm a Mobile DJ and I do a lot of LDS weddings & church dances, and it's still one of the most requested songs. Last night when I played it at a church dance, the kids cheered. They even chanted 'Napoleon.'
