History YMMV / MenInBlack

** Also see BuxomIsBetter.

** AndTheFandomRejoiced: After years of not getting a DVD release, the first season has been released at Target. Granted, it's a bare-bones set and mostly to promote the third film this summer but still ...

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: The Bug while in the human body. Ironically, his actual giant cockroach form is less unsettling than his human form. The "Edgar suit", being a dead man's skin and all is just freakier. It seems to be [[{{Squick}} gradually decomposing]] over the course of the film.

* HilariousInHindsight: Will Smith was originally slated to play Neo the Matrix Trilogy. In that movie, he would have fought Agent Smith, a villain who greatly resembles an MIB agent.

*** For added irony, Kay also offhandedly remarks that "you'll have to buy [[TheBeatles The White Album]] again". In the early years of iTunes, the store's failure to carry music by TheBeatles was one of the biggest complaints against it.

--->*pointing at old trend* Old and busted.
--->*pointing at himself (new trend)* New hotness.
* ShoutOut: The guy behind the Locksmith counter looks remarkably like [[TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Richard O'Brien]].
* TearJerker:
-->'''Agent K:''' Son, I've just been down the gullet of an interstellar cockroach. That's one of a hundred memories I ''don't want''.
** There's also the "Light of Zarthra' flashback from the sequel.
-->'''K:''' This is wrong. It was night, and it was raining...

**** On top of that, Smith has since demonstrated that he is more than capable of playing the straight man. Of course, those projects received considerably better critical praise than ''Wild Wild West'' did.

* TearJerker: The end of "The Neuralyzer Syndrome," where the neuralyzed K is "renewing his vows" by [[spoiler: saying one last goodbye to his father]].

** The first film (released in 1997) includes a scene where Kay talks about a "fascinating little gadget" confiscated from aliens that's "going to replace [=CDs=] soon". When watching the movie after 2001, it can seem like he's describing the iPod. For added irony, Kay also offhandedly remarks that "you'll have to buy [[TheBeatles The White Album]] again". In the early years of iTunes, the store's failure to carry music by TheBeatles was one of the biggest complaints against it.

* HilariousInHindsight: One of the movies Will Smith was originally considered for a role in, the Matrix Trilogy, had a villain whose name is Agent Smith and also resembles an MIB agent.

* NightmareFuel: The Bug while in the human body. Ironically, his actual giant cockroach form is less unsettling than his human form. The "Edgar suit", being a dead man's skin and all is just freakier. It seems to be [[{{Squick}} gradually decomposing]] over the course of the film.

-->"Let's you and me take the ''[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean ultimate]]'' [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean thrill-ride...]]"

** Subverted for a few seconds, when she eats a man whole immediately after and gets a BalloonBelly - fortunately it doesn't stick.
*** [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] on [[FetishFuel that part.]]

* FetishFuel: Serleena getting a [[BalloonBelly big belly]] after gobbling up a mugger in the beginning of the sequel is probably what inspired all those pictures seen online. To say nothing of the fact that she's a ''tentacle monster''.

*** Also see BuxomIsBetter.

*** Which is more similar to the MIB in the ''HoneyIShrunkTheKids'' series.

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Upon being handed the Noisy Cricket, J, a trained NYPD detective, immediately points it directly at K's head. Now, granted, it ''is'' comically small compared to K's gun, but even an ordinary human-made handgun of that size could easily kill K if fired into his head at point-blank range.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment (or HilariousInHindsight, I guess): The induction speech is creepier now that Will Smith is starting to be taken in by the ChurchOfHappyology.
