Can qualify as CanonDiscontinuity as well, as in spite of the trailer boasting that it's an "official" sequel, the film is in no way based on any of the works of Creator/JeanShepherd, and it was obviously made without his input or blessing (as Shepherd had passed away thirteen years earlier).
* MemeticMolester: Ralphie Parker. It doesn't help that the entire plot of the movie involves him chasing after a girl, leading to events like him [[PervertedSniffing sniffing her hair]] and [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext fiddling with a mall dummy's brassiere]].
