* BrokenAesop: The movie hammers home the message of [[BeYourself being yourself]] via Joe's mantra of "I gotta be me", while indulging in the premise of a white man pretending to be a black woman, [[spoiler:which he's able to continue when the listeners vote for him to stay on air as both Joe and Loqueesha.]]

* InformedAbility: Joe is repeatedly said by other characters that he always gives brilliant, essential, life and society-transforming advice, and always "the right thing to just the right person". In reality the "therapy advice" consists of abusive, faux-wisdom trite and cliched statements.
* LarynxDissonance: Saville's attempt to imitate the voice of a SassyBlackWoman leaves a lot to be desired, to say the least. InUniverse, however, Joe has everyone convinced that Loqueesha was an actual black woman, and those who call "her" on the radio [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief don't seem to hear anything amiss]].

* SassyBlackWoman: Invoked with Loqueesha, Joe's radio persona who takes the form of a black woman. They later hire an actual black woman with a similar attitude when Joe and Mason realize they need a face for said persona.
* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: Joe and Mason when they're looking for an actor for Loqueesha to make public appearances. There was a CreepyCrossdresser and then an old Asian lady at one point.
