* DaChief: Keith David plays this role with his character as the owner of the TV Station that the news team is working for.
* GenkiGirl: Mary hits all the stops, the rapid speech, the unrelenting cheerfulness, flailing arms when she gets excited...
* TheGlomp: Mary performs a textbook example on Steve at the hospital, a flying tackle which just barely avoids knocking him over.
* InterchangeableAsianCultures: Korean Ken Jeong has dialogue indicating that he's Vietnamese although he also curses in Japanese and Mandarin during the movie.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Mary is prone to this due to her job as a cruciverbalist, also sprinkling in gratuitous foreign languages
