* TheCameo: Music/Sum41 makes a cameo appearance performing their song "No Reason". Oddly enough, their frontman Deryck Whibley appears in the film not as himself, but instead playing a character named Tony.



* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Rebecca and her friend date a pair of brothers who look and have the same mannerisms as Creator/WoodyAllen. However, the film being what it is, they serve no other purpose than being the butt of Jewish jokes.



* ToiletHumor \ VulgarHumor : A few disgusting bodily fluids show up, such as a man vomiting on Rebecca, and her menstruating all over a store corridor.
