"Quirk is odd, but not too odd. That would take us all the way to weird, and there someone might get hurt.
(Indeed, inappropriate dancing is a big quirk trope, inasmuch as it provides a dramatic moment at which value systems can collide. 
This itself called out to the unwittingly only-slightly-less-hypersexualized preteen dance troupe Sparkle Motion in the 2001 quirk-noir Donnie Darko, a movie in which Jake Gyllenhaal takes orders from a giant rabbit.)"

Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus in a scene of "Zombieland" (2009).The Atlantic’s Michael Hirschorn identified this “aesthetic principle” as “quirk”, defining it as “an embrace of the odd against the blandly mainstream.”
Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" (2010). “It features mannered ingenuousness, an embrace of small moments, narrative randomness, situationally amusing but not hilarious character juxtapositions ... and unexplainable but nonetheless charming character traits,” he wrote. “Quirk takes not mattering very seriously.” He then doled out a cross-platform cut down of pop culture’s then-current pantheon of quirk: This American Life, Napoleon Dynamite, Little Miss Sunshine, Flight of the Conchords. He missed Juno by just a few months, but the movie likely would have altered his take dramatically;
Ellen Page and Olivia Thirlby in "Juno" (2007).Imagine if he’d had as fodder Diablo Cody’s stripper-to-screenwriter story, Ellen Page’s eerily natural portrayal of Juno’s hyper-offbeat title character, the movie’s stringently precocious and best-selling soundtrack (featuring Belle and Sebastian, Kimya Dawson and proto-indie rockers The Velvet Underground), and the film’s predictably unexpected Oscar nods.
Michael Cera in "Youth in Revolt" (2010).And that’s to say nothing of the deluge of quirk that’s flowed forth since: all of Michael Cera’s other movies, Where the Wild Things Are, Zooey Deschanel.
It would’ve been an embarrassment of twitches". Source: www.pastemagazine.com
