Season One
The Most Popular Girls in School is about new girl Deandra, who has just recently started going to Overland Park High, and her involvement in an ongoing feud between two groups of girls, one being the Van Burens, who are the most popular girls in the whole area, and the cheerleaders, or "cheer squad" as they're called in the series. It starts with Deandra unknowingly walking into the bathroom the cheerleaders "own". Her and Mackenzie get into a verbal altercation, and as Mackenzie tells Deandra she needs to know her place, Deandra says she already knows because Mackenzie's boyfriend told her, saying Shay Van Buren told her he didn't have a girlfriend, and Mackenzie calls Shay a liar. Deandra is allowed to use the bathroom. Afterwards, Shay and her two sisters, Cameron and Mikayla, confront her about being called a liar and want an apology. She agrees to after they threaten to make her little sister's life a misery at the elementary school, and the Van Burens take control of the bathroom.

With the two groups at war, they need allies. First the Van Burens meet Deandra at lunch and offer to pay for it if she sides with them, and accepts. Shortly after, the cheer squad find her and ask for her to be on their side, but even though she sided with the Van Burens she agrees. At the same time, it's shown that Rachel Tice and Judith are planning something directed at all of Rachel's former friends. Both teams try to strategies and bring the other humiliation. First, the Van Burens poison the cheer squad's pep rally energy drinks with laxatives, causing Mackenzie to miss out on the biggest pep rally of the year where she would announce her run for prom queen. Then, when the nominees for prom queen come out, the cheer squad got Shay's name changed to "Gay", so in life when people remember who she is they'll go, "Hey, aren't you Gay Van Buren?" Her, Mackenzie, Brittnay, Deandra, and another student named Amberlynn are nominated. The feud escalates and Deandra is caught being on both sides, and in a tug-of-war Deandra gets her arms ripped off by accident. This makes her think she'll win prom queen in a pity vote. Finally at prom, after several arguments and bickering, it is revealed that Rachel Tice won in a write-in, sending everyone in shock. Her plan worked by winning prom queen and ruining their lives. Shay and Mackenzie decide to dedicate their entire lives in getting revenge on her, but still hate each other.

Behind the scenes
Mark Cope wanted to start getting into stop animation, but didn't have any idea of what to do. He saw Carlo Moss performing in drag at a comedy club a skit that would later become the first episode of the series. When writing the original script, Carlo chose the location of Overland Park, Kansas by randomly point on a map to a place in the middle of America. The original dolls were bought from a dollar store after they realized how expensive it would be to buy actual Barbie dolls for the roles. Carlo asked his friend Lily Vonnegut, who voices Brittnay and Mikayla; she thought she could be more than just a voice on the show, and thought it could use better sets, more characters, and decided to help out as the show's producer.

A script is written for each episode, and the full cast records together. Mark states in a behind the scenes video uploaded on the show's channel that about 2000 pictures are taken per episode. Even though there's a script, some of the dialog, including some of the show's most memorable lines are actually improvised by the actors. The show's humor is mainly chalked up to its profanity laced dialog, and various scenes involving toilet humor.

Characters

 * Brittnay Matthews (voiced by Lily Vonnegut) is the second-head cheerleader. Out of all the characters, her personality is the worst, as she verbally abuses almost everybody. She also shares hatred for the Van Buren sisters. Follow her official twitter @Brittnaympgis
 * Deandra (voiced by Carlo Moss) is the new girl, who transferred from Atchison, "north of Topeka, west of the 71". She mistakenly uses the bathroom that is 'owned' by Mackenzie Zales, but after an exchange of words is allowed to use the bathroom freely. She later joins the cheer squad, although she never wears the uniform or attends practice, and at the same time also sides with the rival Van Burens, even being sworn in as an honorary Van Buren cousin.
 * Mackenzie Zales (voiced by Kate Frisbee) is the school's head cheerleader, Homecoming queen, and a part-time model. She, along with the other cheerleaders, owned the school bathroom until popular girl Shay Van Buren discovers she was calling her a liar, and uses blackmail to weasel her from her position, thus beginning their feud.
 * Trisha Cappelletti (voiced by Garrett Mendez) is another cheerleader. Out of the three main cheerleaders she isn't the smartest, although in some instances does show some intelligence.
 * Shay Van Buren (voiced by Andrew Delman) is one of the school's most popular girls. Her intense hatred for Mackenzie Zales stems from an incident in the 3rd grade, when she lost out on being head cheerleader after an injury caused by Matthew Derringer hitting her in the head with a hacky sack, thus causing her to be the first female in her family not to hold that title. She is also deaf in one ear due to this injury.
 * Cameron Van Buren (voiced by Aaron Krebs) is Shay's older sister. She was the prom queen of 2011, and goes to Wichita State University, where she's in "a ton of sororities, and has a 29 year old boyfriend". Trisha mentions that she's the most popular girl in the history of the Blue Valley School District.
 * Mikayla Van Buren (voiced by Lily Vonnegut) is the younger sister of the Van Burens, and the "most popular girl of Meadow Lane Elementary School". She helps her older sisters gain control of the bathrooms by using Mackenzie Zales' little sister as bait, threatening to spread rumors about her, and even tripping her down a flight of stairs.
 * Ashley Katchadorian (voiced by Kate Frisbee) is another cheerleader, but is rarely seen. She spends a large amount of the first season on vacation in Pearl Harbor, and is caught up in the bathroom drama after Trisha blames her for not watching the door.
 * Rachel Tice (voiced by Carlo Moss) is a student, and former friend of the popular girls. She lost their respect when Brittnay saw her eat a roly-poly in the 3rd grade. The only person seen to be her friend is Judith (voiced by Lily Vonnegut). Rachel is obsessed with Gossip Girl, to the point where she doesn't even know it has been off the air for some time. She has a pessimistic older sister named Bridget (voiced by Christine Tarbet).
 * Saison Margarite (voiced by Andrew Delman) is a foreign student from Montreal (but pretends she is from France). Brittnay is always annoyed by her, and constantly accuses her of not being from France, questioning whenever Saison says "how d'you say..." before words she knows how to say, including French words.
 * Amberlynn Wiggers (voiced by Dave Hill) is a female student. She's only seen twice throughout the first 13 episodes, once when she's nominated for prom queen, and then again at the prom. Brittnay considers her to be wise.
 * Matthew Derringer (voiced by Dave Hill) is on the school's football team. He's known for his charming and smooth personality, and is so far the only recurring African-American character. He later develops a quick relationship with Trisha, and takes her to the prom. It's revealed that he was born without any genitalia.
 * Johnathan Getslinhaumer (voiced by Mark Cope) is a student, and tries to go by the name "Than". He is the target of ridicule from the football team, and is constantly teased as being gay due to the questionable things he says to other male students. He takes Shay Van Buren to the prom.
 * Tanner Christensen (voiced by Pete Capella) is on the school's football team, and is openly gay. He is in a monogamous relationship with Tristan McKie, voiced by Ray Hebel.
 * Blaine (voiced by Carlo Moss) is also on the football team. He was Brittnay's boyfriend until she broke up with him, after finding out he liked Gossip Girl more than Glee. He shortly starts dating Saison Margarite afterwards, and takes her to the prom.
 * Connor Devarnan (voiced by Carlo Moss) is a male student. He is known for spreading a rumor around the school that Brittnay doesn't give the best handjobs. He agrees to take her to the prom, but ends up ditching her beforehand.
 * Mrs. Van Buren (voiced by David Razowsky) is the mother of the Van Buren sisters. She's been seen in one episode, where she helps the girls spike the cheer squad's energy drinks with laxatives. A recurring joke is that she likes to drink while pregnant, such as when she says she needs a nap, Shay asks, "by nap do you mean an Ambien and a box of wine?". In the scene she is visibly pregnant.
 * Lunch Lady Belinda (voiced by Bill Sindelar) is the school's cafeteria lunch server. It has been hinted that she has a strange fixation with Cameron Van Buren. She is one of the few school staff workers shown throughout the series.
 * Coach Spitz (voiced by Dave Hill), is the school's sports coach. The only times he's ever been seen are in the boys' locker room, standing behind a wall and staring at the guys, and in the girls' bathroom, standing behind a bathroom stall and watching the girls. It's implied that he is doing something questionable, and the only words he's uttered so far are "carry on", though only when someone spots him.
 * Principal Nubbins (voiced by Aaron Krebs) is the school principal. So far he has never been seen, only heard through the school's intercom system. It is implied that he is the butt of many pranks from the student body.
