* HorribleCampingTrip ''TurnedUpToEleven'' when they manage to burn their tent and get harassed by a gay cop as a result.
* MisplacedNamesPoster
* ProductPlacement: Dudley gets a Mac Apple logo tattooed onto his arm. He is very proud of the tattoo's invulnerability to copyright.
* ShoutOut - lots of these, but especially to ''Film/EasyRider'' - throwing away the cell phone at the start, the whole "bathing in the hot springs" scene, Peter Fonda's cameo near the end. Dudley's tanker helmet could be one of these to Jack Nicholson's football helmet. Some of the riding scenes near the end. Also John Travolta's character trying to teach Dudley to dance.
* StuffBlowingUp: A whole biker bar, at that.
* TookALevelInBadass: All four of them.
* WannabeDiss: First, by the villainous biker gang towards the Wild Hogs, because they're a bunch of middle-aged guys who just do this for fun instead of terrorizing people.
