* IdenticalLookingAsians: When Mr. Perez has his flashback to his mother getting killed by Korean thugs, they all are played by John Cho. Later, when Maria's niece mistakes another Asian man whom she sees from behind as her husband, Mr. Perez says "It's OK, baby, they all look alike to me too."

* ComeWithMeIfYouWantToLive: Harold's friend says this to Kumar's friend during the shootout at the party. They wind up being the ''only'' people in immediate mortal danger.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The TV version dubs over all instances of "fucking" with "freaking"...but makes no effort to censor the references to drugs and sex scenes.

* ArmouredClosetGay: Inverted with NPH, who pretends to be gay only to trick women into taking their clothes off and getting "massages" from him.

* RightWayWrongWayPair: Harold and Kumar respectively. Harold's become a successful businessman working at Wall Street, married his girlfriend Maria and moved into a comfortable house. Kumar is unemployed and behind bills after he failed a drug test to become a doctor, has been dumped by Vanessa due to his inattentiveness and still lives in the apartment he shared with Harold which Kumar neglected to clean up, so his room reeks of odors, garbage and filth.

Six years have passed since G-Bay. Harold (Creator/JohnCho) has married Maria, went on to become a wealthy Wall Street businessman and moved out of the apartment into a decent two-story house. Kumar (Creator/KalPenn) is still living in the apartment, was expelled from medical school for failing a drug test, unemployed and single (he broke up with Vanessa). When circumstances bring them back together, Kumar accidentally destroys a beloved [[PricelessMingVase Christmas tree]] belonging to Harold's father-in-law (Creator/DannyTrejo) and our heroes frantically search for a replacement before he finds out.
