* CanadaEh: Averted - it is precisely because the Canadians don't fit the stereotypes of Canadians, nor speak with particularly pronounced accents, that Ray mistakes them for Americans.

* TheCameo: A brief shot of [[https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/news/a4989/fidel-celebrity-labrador/ Fidel]], a golden Labrador Retriever who was famous for sitting in a window overlooking the canal, watching everyone go by with a peaceful expression.

* StimulantSpeedtalk:
** After stealing from Chloe's drug cache, Ray shows up at a bar high on some of the purloined coke, talking at roughly a thousand miles an hour and warning Ken that he might be about to have a heart attack.
** Not long after this scene, a snorting session with dwarf actor Jimmy turns sour as a coked-up Jimmy starts rambling on about his belief in an upcoming race war. Ray is still high as a kite, so he naturally proceeds to nitpick the living bejesus out of the idea, much to Jimmy's annoyance.

* YouAreFat: Ray tells this to a pair of obese American tourists in a very obnoxious and insulting way to dissuade them from going up a narrow bell tower and potentially getting stuck. A few moments later, Ken gives them the same warning, only earnestly, except they've already been fed up by Ray's insults.
--> '''Ken:''' Hey! You shouldn't go up there, it's really narrow!
--> '''American Tourist:''' [[SuddenlyShouting SCREW YOU, COCKSUCKER]]!

* [[invoked]]AcceptableTargets: Parodied a bit with Americans. Ray is clearly disdainful of them, he pisses one off by calling him fat. When Ken tries to helpfully tell him that he shouldn't try climbing the belltower shortly after, he gets told to fuck off. Ken looks baffled by this but then realizes Ray is to blame for the outburst from Ray's expression. Later Ray punches another American at a restaurant who was just angry that Ray's date was blowing smoke at them, and then punches the man's wife when she swings a bottle at him while blaming them for the Vietnam War and John Lennon's death. [[spoiler:When it turns out that they were really Canadians, he feels guilty about punching them.]]
