* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Harold and Kumar belting out Wilson Phillips' "Hold On" together in the car.
** Also doubles as a ShoutOut to Film/{{Tommy Boy}}, when Tommy and Richard initially express disdain for the sappy radio station they're listening to in the car, but end up singing along to the Carpenters' "Superstar" at top volume while sobbing uncontrollably.

** In 2016, a White Castle opened in South Brunswick, which is approximately 20 minutes from New Brunswick, so nowadays, they wouldn't have had to drive all the way to Cherry Hill.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Woolseyism}}: The "[[{{Squick}} Battleshits]]" scene in French is translated masterfully for such a {{Pun}}-heavy scene. "Battleshits" are translated as "''Bataille Anale''" ("Anal Battle"), a pun on "Bataille Navale" ("Naval Battle", the name the [[TabletopGame/{{Battleship}} table top game]] is marketed under in French). The "Aircrap Carrier" is translated as "''Porte-étron''" (Lit. "Turd Carrier", a pun on "''Porte-avion''", an aircraft carrier).

Since the movie came out in 2004, it hasn't been 20 years yet.


* ValuesResonance: The film's casual and non-judgmental portrayal of marijuana use was considered refreshing in 2004; rather than being stereotypical stoners, the titular duo are depicted as smart and promising young men with admirable career goals (they're a hard-working investment banker and a BrilliantButLazy aspiring med student, respectively) who just happen to enjoy the occasional blunt in their downtime. Now that American culture has become generally more tolerant of marijuana, with several states legalizing recreational use of the drug, it can make the movie seem rather ahead of its time.

** Early on, Rosenberg and Goldstein sit down to watch the film ''[[Film/TheGift2000 The Gift]]'' on TV--solely because they've heard that Creator/KatieHolmes [[{{Fanservice}} bares her breasts]] onscreen for around 30 seconds. If the movie had been made even three or four years later, they probably would have just DVR'ed the movie and fast-forwarded to the part that they actually wanted to see (or looked the scene up on an online video streaming site). ''Nobody'' today willingly watches a movie from the beginning on live TV just to see a single scene.
