* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: With the rise of social media since the film was made, it would be much harder to completely erase every indication of a person's existence from your life. This has actually become a big piece of FanficFuel.

* ValuesDissonance: A furious Clem calls Joel a "Faggot" during their big breakup, which wasn't quite recognized as a slur (unless ''maybe'' if it was applied to an actual LGBT person) when the film was made.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Throughout the movie, greatly adding to the surreal, dream-like depiction of memories. Perhaps most notably, in a blink and you'll miss it moment during the memory of Joel and Clementine's final fight, Clementine is storming off ''on one leg''.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Mary's smoking pot and getting drunk in Joel's apartment is PlayedForLaughs. Not so much when Creator/KirstenDunst had to check herself into rehab for substance abuse and depression.
* HarsherInHindsight: In 2015, Creator/JimCarrey's former girlfriend Cathriona White committed suicide with a drug overdose that included propranolol, a memory altering substance which several doctors have specifically likened to the procedure in the film. And a year later, her husband accused Carrey of providing the drugs himself.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


** Some of the mental images are disturbing - like the guy who literally has no front in Joel's memories, or the instance where [[spoiler: [[UncannyValley Joel temporarily retreats into an "erased" memory]]]]. Not to mention scenes where reality apparently decays around Joel as the memory is erased.

This case was particularly insulting for fans because Creator/KateWinslet was nominated for Best Actress, yet his role is of equal importance, carrying the implication that voters didn't consider Carrey a '''real''' actor like Winslet because he is primarily associated with broad comedies.
