** "That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em/him/her." when someone does something risky or stupid, especially on Imgur. The use in-context was [[spoiler:Cotton pointing out that Average Joe's was ''forfeiting'' the match.]]

** He still did recover from cancer (which seems to be the major point), where he didn't quit. One could also argue that he won those five tours on equal terms. Every rider on the podiums 1999-2003 have been strongly implicated in (or outright busted for) doping, and you'd have to go far down the lists to find a podium of clean riders.

* HarsherInHindsight: Lance Armstrong being stripped of his winnings (for blood doping, which is considered cheating) in 2012 changes the implications of the scene he appears in.
** You might want to wait for the actual verdict in that case. It has been announced (UCI aren't good at sticking to that stuff, so I'll have to see it before it happens) to be sent out to the public Monday the 22nd October 2012.
*** '''Now''' Armstrong's titles have been stripped.

* UnfortunateImplications:
** Also, there are plenty of racial stereotypes in the movie. Asians in underwear, anyone?
*** Well, the game ''is'' sponsored by the [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment American Dodgeball Association of America]] - therefore RefugeInAudacity kicks in, since it's made fairly clear that they're intentionally playing up those stereotypes. Just look at the German team.

** The one bisexual in the movie is shown kissing her girlfriend, then kissing Peter. No breakups, nothing. She is assumed to date both her girlfriend and Peter. That is not how bisexuality usually works in today's society. They have a word for a relationship like that--it's not called "bisexuality", it's called "polygamy".

** Considering that Peter most likely took the money because he thought Average Joe's would ''lose'', maybe not.

* BatmanGambit: C'mon, tell me this isn't true: Near the end, White offers Peter a large sum of money to buy Average Joe's outright. You never see what happens, but the movie implies he refused the offer when they get into the finals. After they win the finals, however, White reveals that Peter took him up on the offer, and Average Joe's is now his. ''However'', it turns out Peter bet the money he got from selling the gym into his team winning, thus winning enough money to buy out Globogym and every gym it's a part of, ''including'' Average Joe's.

** It is possible to be bisexual ''and'' polygamist, mind. Bisexuality refers to sexual orientation. Polygamy and monogamy refer to the number of partners in the relationship.
*** The point, though, is that neither Kate nor her girlfriend ever explicitly identify themselves as polygamists, and no one considers their behavior unusual. The characters act as if polygamy and bisexuality are inherently intertwined, which they're not.
*** On the other hand, no one considers ''either'' bisexuality or polygamy as unusual in the first place so make of that what you will.

* HilariousInHindsight: ChuckNorris. THAT IS ALL.
** It was funny enough when ESPN debuted "ESPN 3" (five more to go until a "real Ocho"), but in reality, a much smaller, independent network [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_One beat them to the concept.]]
