* SocietyMarchesOn: While Pat is not "canonically" gender queer and specifies being attracted to the opposite sex (whatever that may be), it's hard to imagine a film like this existing in an age where gender queerness and androgyny are given at least a modicum of more respect, as trying to guess what gender someone is based on their appearance is now seen as not only rude and intrusive but emotionally abusive. The now-recognized possibility that [[TakeAThirdOption Pat could just be non-binary or agender and go by they/them pronouns]] now makes the skits and movie at best pointless and at worst uncomfortable.

''It's Pat!'' is one of many ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' spin-off movies. This one, released in 1994, features Pat Riley (Julia Sweeney), and as in the sketches, revolves around the fact that nobody can tell [[AmbiguousGender whether Pat is a man or woman]]. Among them is Pat's neighbor Kyle (Charles Rocket), who obsesses over Pat's gender to the point of stalking. In addition to that plot and various scenes with characters wanting to know what Pat is, the movie also involves Pat's struggling relationship with Chris (Dave Foley), desire to be famous, and difficulty holding on to a job.
