History Film / StrangeBrew

* WhatWereWeDoingAgain: Bob and Doug quickly forget about looking for their horked clothes and end up looking for beer instead.

--> "Oktoberfest! Stop them! Nice effects, eh?"

* KangarooCourt: The whole trial scene appears to be one considering the Bob and Doug's so called defence attorney is on the payroll of the MagnificentBastard, that and the degree of ineptitude and how easily obviously faked evidence is admitted, though the trial is never seen through to it's conclusion [[spoiler:(the court adjourns and sends Bob and Doug to the mental institution, but a final verdict is never handed out, nor a sentence)]].

* DressingAsTheEnemy: The first time has Brewmeister Smith and Claude dressing up as Bob and Doug so they could frame them for kidnapping. The second time has Doug, LaRose and the asylum inmates dress up in the Hockey Armor so they could take the fight to the brewery.

* IKnowMaddenKombat: The asylum inmates are trained through mind control to fight utilizing hockey equipment. Played straight with LaRose and The Mackenzie Brothers, who do play Hockey.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Smith's plan would have eventually failed anyway as the repeated consumption of the drugged beer made LaRose (and would eventually make everyone else) immune to it.

--> '''Rosie''': "Look out, this is really gonna blow!"
--> '''Doug''': "It didn't blow."

* [[ComedicHero Comedic Heroes]]/[[IdiotHero Idiot Heroes]]

** Please note that it was a JELLY donut.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Hosehead FLYING to Oktoberfest to save the day.]]
** [[spoiler: [[BalloonBelly Bob's ability to drink lots of beer.]] ]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[spoiler: Doug joking about Bob being raped when they get arrested.]]
--> '''Doug''': [[spoiler:Those big cons are gonna love you, eh?]]
--> '''Bob''': [[spoiler:What do you mean?]]
--> '''Doug''': [[spoiler:You're a cute little guy. They're gonna be lovin' you from dawn until dusk.]]
--> '''Bob''': [[spoiler:Where are you gonna be?]]
--> '''Doug''': [[spoiler:I'll be in the cafeteria, selling smokes.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice: MelBlanc provided the voice of Doug and Bob's dad, using exactly the same voice he did for [[TheJetsons Mr. Spacely]].

** This is because [[spoiler:Doug's nose was bleeding and they used up all the tissues, leading to the having the bailiff give him bullets to put in his nostrils. And after joking about his and Bob's situation, Doug sneezes out the bullets while laughing, scaring everybody in the courtroom]].

** "Oktoberfest! Stop them! Nice effects, eh?"

* PoliceAreUseless: If any of them had any type of observational ability, they would have arrested Claude and Smith right away.
** To elaborate, when Smith shoots Pam with a tranq dart that scrambles her brain for a while, their car and faces are in plain sight and they speed away very conspicuously.

* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: Bob says that Doug saw [[ReturnOfTheJedi Jedi]] 17 times.

* StonerFlick: Sort of. As Creator/KevinSmith put it, it's basically like Jay and Silent Bob, only with beer instead of weed.

* TrappedInASinkingCar: The brothers' van is sabotaged and they careen off a pier. When police scuba divers later attempt a recovery, they find the van's inhabitants inside 'drinking' air from all the empty beer bottles they have.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Two examples: The Elsinore brewery receptionist disappears without a trace halfway through the film and Henry Green plays no substantial role whatsoever after the MoodWhiplash scene above.
** Three: Ted the Assistant. He gets body checked into an office by Rosie and a few minutes later Brewmaster Smith just shrugs off his disappearance as "I think Ted is dead." That's it. No follow up or anything.

** [[spoiler: Bobs ability to drink lots of beer.]]

* IKnowMaddenCombat: The asylum inmates are trained through mind control to fight utilizing hockey equipment. Played straight with LaRose and The Mackenzie Brothers, who do play Hockey.

Strange Brew is a movie based off of ''[[{{SCTV}} The Great White North]]'' sketches. In it, half-wit brothers Bob and Doug [=McKenzie=] (RickMoranis and DaveThomas) plan to obtain free beer by working at the Elsinore Brewery, where Pamela Elsinore (LynneGriffin), the heiress, is troubled over the death of her father, John Elsinore, the owner of the brewery. Unbeknownst to Bob and Doug, but beknownst to Pamela, Brewmeister Smith (Creator/MaxVonSydow) wants to unleash a hostile takeover to release a hypnosis-laced beer to the world.

!!This movie provides examples of:

* WholePlotReference: A very loose adaptation of ''{{Hamlet}}'', with Bob and Doug more-or-less Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

* StonerFlick: Sort of. As KevinSmith put it, it's basically like Jay and Silent Bob, only with beer instead of weed.

* HilarityEnsues: Being based off of the ''Great White North'' sketches, this is bound to happen. Despite references to ''Hamlet'', there are very little serious scenes. Very little, as there were only 7, involving only Pamela.
