Located within River City High School's First Floor A, there is a poster that reads "Try Hard", which is an in-game parody of the 1998 film Die Hard. Upon further inspection, there will be a vent hidden behind the poster and upon entering it, the player will be rewarded with the "TV Dinner" achievement, with the description referencing the same line said by John McClane during the air vent scene in the movie.
