* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The film began production in 2009 and it shows, as many of the references are dated and a lot of the casting choices that would have made sense in 2009 (such as Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Gerard Butler) make little sense in 2013.

* RefugeInVulgarity: ''Every single'' skit in the film is extremely vulgar and offensive in some way or another. Among all of them, arguably every trait of R-rated raunchiness is in here somewhere and used to its full potential.
** The one exception is the spoof PublicServiceAnnouncement ''Machine Kids'' which employs a heavy does of surreal BlackComedy but no gross out or sexual humour.

* NoEnding: "The Pitch", which is the closest thing this film has to an actual plot, ends with [[spoiler: The whole thing turning out to just be a movie being made when a {{Special Effects Failure}} occurs. The story itself get's no actual conclusion]].

** This sketch is absent from the UK & Irish version which uses a very different FramingDevice involving three teenagers (Adam Cagley, Devin Eash and Mark L. Young) searching the internet for a banned movie [[TitleDrop called]] Movie 43...

-->Since 1999 I've been carrying a blue pill in my pocket, holding onto it for the moment when I'd truly need it. The pill, I was told, would instantly erase the memory of any movie — but just the one movie, just the one time. I was tempted to take that pill after FreddyGotFingered. I had the pill in hand as I walked out of every other Adam Sandler movie of the last decade. But I hung on to it, knowing something even worse was going to come my way one day. Midway through ''Movie 43'', I knew the day had come. As the credits rolled with the inevitable blooper scenes of actors breaking character and inexplicably laughing when nothing funny is going on, I swallowed that pill, hoping to erase instantly all mental images of what had just transpired. It didn't work. The [[PrecisionFStrike !&$@*!]] thing didn't work!
