* BeamMeUpScotty: People often misquote the film with lines like "You're going out (there) a youngster, but you're coming back a star!", "You're going out (on that stage) a nobody, (kid), but you're coming back a star!", or "You're going out a chorus girl, but you're coming back a star!" The real line is:
-->But you keep your feet on the ground and your head on those shoulders of yours and go out, and, Sawyer, you're going out a youngster, but you've ''got'' to come back a star!



* MemeticMutation / PopCulturalOsmosis: "Sawyer, you're going out a youngster, but you've ''got'' to come back a star!"
* NoAntagonist: Peggy just seems pulled along by the movie. people help her without hesitation, and even the characters you'd think would feel opposition to her, just sort of go along with things.
** Subverted in the Musical, Dorothy Brock is there to be an antagonist to Peggy and be generally opposed to Peggy before opening up after [[spoiler: her ankle gets broken.]]

** The line about people paying $0.35 for a ticket was funny back when the show first debuted (said ticket would be worth under $7.00 today), but it keeps getting funnier as ticket prices for even off-Broadway shows soar.

* HilariousInHindsight: These lyrics from the title song work surprisingly well when you think of decades rather than Manhattan streets, and the film pre-dates either, being from TheThirties.
