History YMMV / Splash

** In the film, Tom Hanks sings the Disney song [[Film/SongOfTheSouth “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah”]] to indicate how elated he is after getting so much nookie from Madison. Five years after the film’s release, the Disneyland log flume “Zip-a-Dee River Run” was renamed '''Splash Mountain''', after then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner's mostly-ignored suggestion that the attraction be used to help market the film ''Splash''.

** Freddie makes up a story about Tom Hanks' character [[Film/ForrestGump serving in Vietnam and getting injured there]], in order to convince one of the investors (a former Green beret) to turn "Bauer Produce" into a food chain.

** The LineOfSightName joke, where the mermaid chooses the very unusual name of Madison, now doesn't work due to the film's own popularity. It inspired Madison to become one of the most common female names in the United States.

* MoralEventHorizon: Dr. Kornbluth calls out the other scientists, particularly the leader Dr. Ross, for planning to dissect her. But they merely insult him for "not being a real scientist," expressing how Kornbluth would always be a disgrace in his eyes and the eyes of the scientific community no matter if he is considered crazy or not, thus making all his efforts to earn his respect amongst fellow scientists for naught. This helps lead to his HeelFaceTurn afterwards, and also makes Ross look like an idiot and a more deplorable MadScientist then Kornbluth since he could have gotten into the history books as the one who established contact with a new race if he wasn't such a cold-hearted "sadistic pig".

* UnfortunateImplications: Allen goes into the bathroom while Madison is taking a bath, despite her fervent pleas that he not do it.

** This should be explained a bit. Allen merely asked if he could come in. It was Madison's panic and the thud when she suddenly fell out of the tub that got him so worried he broke down the door. Besides, as the scene ending shows, he didn't see any reason for her to suddenly be shy given what all they had done.

* HilariousInHindsight: See LineOfSightName. Madison is now one of the most common female names in the United States.

-->'''Tour Guide''': The Statue is a gift from French citizens and has come to symbolize hope for naked women everywhere. ([[{{Beat}} double take]]) BOCCE BALLS!
** Nearly every moment with Kornbluth, especially when accidentally hoses the same couple ''twice''.
