==Summary==
When the students receive the results of their career aptitude tests, [[Jane Lane|Jane]] learns that she's suited to be an accountant (the same answer she's received every year, thanks to her selecting the same letter for each question), [[Kevin Thompson|Kevin]] is suited to be a gas station attendant, [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] is perfect as a neck model, and [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]], to her annoyance, is destined -- thanks to her apathy and her lack of desire to interact with other people -- to be a mortician.
[[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] insists that Daria get a job to improve her interpersonal skills and focus her career goals, and makes Quinn get one as well (so she can pay for her $500 modelling portfolio on her own). Daria opts instead to take social skills counselling at school, but when that ends in failure (due to [[Tiffany Blum-Deckler|Tiffany]]'s glacially slow approach), she's forced to take a job that [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake]] sets up with a client. Daria's not thrilled to work at the mall's nut stand, ''It's a Nutty, Nutty, Nutty World'', and is even less so when she finds she's working next to the brain-dead Kevin. "It's worse than school," Daria tells Jane. "The rules are stupider, and Kevin is very, very close."
That's topped by her humiliation when [[Trent Lane|Trent]] finds out about her job, despite Jane's best efforts to steer him and [[Jesse Moreno]] away. When Jane is unable to coax Daria out of the store's back room, she puts in a call to Helen and pretends that Daria is being hidden away from the public while the less qualified Kevin is put in the spotlight; enraged, Helen storms into the mall and "rescues" Daria. They both encounter Quinn, who's caused a ruckus at her pet store job when she enlists the help of Joey, Jeffy and Jamie to find a boa constrictor she accidentally let out of its tank.
In the end, everyone ends up losing their jobs, including Kevin (thanks to the ever-jealous Brittany). Later, Quinn gets too close to Daria's old Nut World uniform and gets a neck rash due to her pistachio dye allergy. Seeing Quinn lament the end of her neck modelling career? ''Now'' Daria has job satisfaction!

==Trivia==
This episode was named after a romantic comedy film called ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025316/ It Happened One Night.]''
Several of the black female "background characters" are shown hanging out at the mall - [[Jennifer (black girl)|Jennifer]], "[[Kia]]" and "[[Backgrounder#Bib Overalls|Bib Overalls]]", all in Daria's year and in some of her classes. It implies all three are friends - and that's notable, because despite [[Jodie Landon]]'s repeated complaints about being one of the few minority students at Lawndale and the pressure that puts on her to be a perfect 'representative' of her race, she's ''never'' been seen hanging with those three or anyone else.
Jake does consulting work for Nutty World's national office.
Line 27 ⟶ 35:
Quinn is allergic to pistachio dye: it gives her a rash.
The Nutty, Nutty, Nutty World manager is not named in the episode. He is voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0268535/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Zeke Farrow].
