* BeamMeUpScotty: Groucho's line, "I've got to stay here, but there's no reason why you folks shouldn't go out into the lobby until this thing blows over" is almost always misquoted as "out to the lobby ''for a smoke''".

* MissingEpisode: Several minutes of the movie were either cut or damaged, and thus lost forever (in a cinematic sense). As scripted and initially shot, the movie ended with the four brothers playing poker while Huxley College burned to the ground, although there is some question as to whether this ending was cut before or after the film's release.

* RealLifeRelative: It goes without saying in a Creator/MarxBrothers film, but in this case, Groucho and Zeppo are ''father and son''.
* RecycledScript: Several comedy routines in the movie were taken from Creator/TheMarxBrothers' 1920s vaudeville stage show, ''Fun in Hi Skule''.

* TheCastShowoff: Not only do Harpo and Chico get to show off their musical skills with the harp and the piano, but even Groucho gets a turn with the guitar.
* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: Unsurprisingly, the movie has several scenes which do nothing but provide an excuse to show off Harpo's antics, such as Pinkie's encounter with the police officer who tries to write him up for blocking traffic.

** The scene in Connie's bedroom was sliced to ribbons by the Hays Office, hence the many abrupt cuts in the film as it survives today; the cut footage is now lost.
