* {{Squick}}: The blister popping scene. There's the sight of the thing itself, an improbably large lump on Dennis' foot; then there's the question raise about ''how'' Gordon sterilised the nail used to pop it. ''Then'' said nail gets ''stuck'', before removing it results in the fluid splashing on Gordon's face. [[NoodleIncident He promptly proclaims it's the ''second'' most disgusting fluid he's had in his eyes]].

* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Running a Marathon still doesn't mean he's really a good person.
** Except reading it as just that means you missed the entire point of the film. He's a decent person who did a stupid thing because he was afraid; completing the marathon, confronting the fact that leaving his fiancée on their wedding day means he's a bit of a shit? It shows he can try to turn things around. And she hasn't even ''taken him back'' at the end of the film fully, they're just on much better terms than they were.

* HollywoodPudgy: Dennis has a bit of a gut going, but his body type is hardly what comes to mind when one thinks of a fat guy. It's a side-effect of the role supposedly being written with Creator/JackBlack in mind.

Ah, desperate justification.

** But running the marathon is a deliberate parallel to his relationship with his could-have-been wife. He abandoned that at the last moment and ran away. If he abandoned the race at the point where he hits the wall or even at the last stumbling block, it would have been for nothing, just like the point of the film where he decides he ''isn't'' going to run. Running a marathon doesn't prove he's a good person - ''and that's implying he was a bad person, when perfectly good people still get cold feet and get scared'' - it implies Dennis can ''change'' for the better and prove people wrong, contrary to the other examples early in the film.
