** The film's epilogue, which depicts Tony Clifton's 1985 appearance at the Comedy Store, depicts Bob Zmuda in the audience, hinting at the longtime rumors that Kaufman faked his death in 1984 (while also alluding to the fact that Kaufman and Zmuda weren't the only people who officially played Clifton). According to Jim Carrey in ''Comedy Salute to Andy Kaufman'', Zmuda actually did play Clifton during the real-life performance.

* {{Catchphrase}}:
** Invoked and lampshaded with Foreign Man/Latka Gravas' signature line "Tank you veddy much", which gets a FullyAutomaticClipShow at one point reflecting how (as far as Andy's concerned) it and the persona are being played out.
** The distinctly loopy, musical way Andy himself says "Okay" may count as this, seeing as it extends to Creator/EmmanuelCurtil's performance in the French dub.

* DistantPrologue: After Andy stops messing around with the credits and starts the film proper, the story begins with a child Andy being scolded by his father for performing to his bedroom wall, imagining that there's an audience there. When his dad says that he needs a ''real'' audience made up of ''real'' people, Andy sings "Oh, the Cow Goes Moo" to his little sister, at which point the scene cuts to the adult Andy performing the song to a bored audience in the 1970s. The rest of the film focuses on Andy's adult life from there until his death in 1984.
