History YMMV / BedtimeStories

* SampledUp: Nellee Hooper would reuse the breathy scatting that appeared in "Bedtime Story" in a remix of Music/{{Garbage}}'s "#1 Crush".

!!For the Adam Sandler film
* AcceptableTargets: Skeeter's sister is a health-food nut/vegetarian who serves the guests at her kids' birthday party a gluten-free wheatgrass cake (which apparently smells horrible), doesn't let her kids eat junk food/play video games/watch TV, and reads them bedtime stories like "Rainbow Alligator Saves the Wetlands" and "The Organic Squirrel Gets a Bike Helmet".
* AssPull:
** [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. Being children under 10, Bobby and Patrick do this all the time with Skeeter's stories. All of which translate to the real world in some form and are always PlayedForLaughs.
*** At the end of the first story, Patrick has it start raining gumball, just cus.
*** In the next one, when the hero is suppose to get a kiss, an angry dwarf shows up out of nowhere to kick him in the shins.
*** In the next after, when all the girls who were mean to Skeetacus (Skeeter's character) in school see him with the fairest maiden, they start doing the hokey pokey. This is one that counts for the real world too, as when the same thing happens, the mean girls don't know why they did it.
*** During their final bedtime story with Skeeter, the kids have Skeeter's character die at the end by having a random person throw a fire ball at him for no reason.
** A weirder (though admittedly heartwarming) example happens in the WhereAreTheyNow epilogue. Barry Nottingham overcomes his fear of germs, retires from the hotel business, puts himself threw med school, and becomes the new school nurse for Webster Elementary. Believe it or not, the stories had nothing to do with it.
* FridgeBrilliance: Kendall working at Skeeter's hotel at the end. Consider Kendall (albeit unknowingly) almost killed two children, it is very likely that Skeeter is literally the only person who would hire him.
* FridgeHorror: Had Skeeter not manage to stop the detonation of the school, two kids would have been blown up. Food for thought.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Adam Sandler going up to a beached guy, stamping on him and a fish flies out of his throat, and he's fine - wait, this isn't ''Film/YouDontMessWithTheZohan''?
** Wendy tells Skeeter that he and the kids can't play poker because of gambling. Fast forward eleven years later, and suddenly [[Film/UncutGems Adam Sandler is a gambling addict]].
* RetroactiveRecognition: The dancer at the kids' party is Creator/HeatherMorris, from ''Series/{{Glee}}''.

*** In the next after, when all the girls who were mean to Skeetacus (Skeeter's character) is school see him with the fairest maiden, they start doing the hokey pokey. This is one that counts for the real world too, as when the same thing happens, the mean girls don't know why they did it.

* OvershadowedByControversy: Or, more specifically, overshadowed by the controversy surrounding its respective artist at the time. As [[http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6274138/madonna-bedtime-stories-20-babyface-donna-de-lory-retrospective this Billboard retrospective]] explains.
