Added a note to Mike Douglas's name to emphasize that this is not the actor Michael Douglas


** [[CrossesTheLineTwice "You know Mike Douglas used to make me moist when I'd watch his show?"]]. Cletus Klump gets an understandably cringe-inducing reaction at hearing [[DirtyOldWoman Grandma]] fantasizing with hooking up with men her age (not to mention being accompanied by the [[SarcasmMode oh-so-pleasant]] mental image of an elderly wet vagina) and proclaims that he wants to take the old bird out of her misery. (Though, Mike Douglas was most famous during TheSeventies, 20 years before the events of the film.)

* FairForItsDay: While a lot of the jokes from both this film and its sequel come across as somewhat fatphobic by modern standards, the Klumps are at least shown to be good-hearted (if crude) people, while the antagonistic characters -- Buddy Love, Dean Richmond, and Reggie Warrington -- are all of slim build.

How is this even considered "hilarious" when it's more of an irony?


* HilariousInHindsight:
** Sherman Klump adopts a [[SurvivalMantra reassuring motto]] from fitness guru Lance Perkins: "[[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Yes, I can.]]" It's also the catchphrase of WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder.
** The HumorDissonance scene where Buddy Love heckles and then beats up the hack comedian played by Creator/DaveChappelle plays differently in 2021, when Creator/EddieMurphy had apologized for punching down early in his career as a comedian while Chappelle has courted controversy for repeatedly mocking Transgender people in his stand-up specials.

* MemeticMutation: THE NUT[[labelnote:Explanation]]An edited version of one of the film poster's depicting Sherman screaming. The edit changes the title to this phrase, increases the visual contrast, and adds glowing white eyes to Sherman's face, altogether making it look as if he's violently orgasming. The edit, made during the heyday of similar "Deep Fried" memes, quickly became a popular reaction image to express lust.[[/labelnote]]

* NightmareFuel: Buddy putting Reggie in his place may be LaserGuidedKarma but it's also fairly disturbing.

* NightmareFuel: Buddy putting Reggie in his place may be LaserGuidedKarma but it's also fairly disturbing. One particularly disturbing moment is when Buddy appears to break Reggie's wrist at the piano and the latter wails and cries in pain. There's even a SickeningCrunch sound to boot.

Misuse, nothing of this involve the remake, just the original. Move it to the main page as Culturally Sensitive Adaptation


* ValuesDissonance: Purposefully avoided in the case of Carla; in the original, his character was crushing on one of his students. Even if she reciprocated and even if she was a consenting adult, a teacher dating a student would still be frowned on. In the remake, Carla is an older grad student, which puts her more on Sherman's level and is a bit more acceptable.

** Sherman visibly bristles when Reggie mocks Carla (played by Creator/JadaPinkettSmith) for going on a date with him, and later in the movie, as Buddy, beats him up. During the 2022 Oscars ceremony, Will Smith punched Chris Rock in the face in the middle of a comedy routine that involved making fun of his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

* HarsherInHindsight: At the beginning of the film, Dean Richmond mimes shooting Klump out of annoyance of his repeated goof ups. While at the time it was considered [[BlackComedy hilarious]] due to how unrealistic it seemed that fellow administrators/professors would end up using firearms, the comment is now considerably less funny [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Alabama_in_Huntsville_shooting after the University of Alabama at Huntsville shooting]] where a professor shot and killed three coworkers and wounded three other employees due to being denied tenure.

** Buddy derailing Reggie's set became this in May 2022 when Creator/DaveChappelle was attacked by an audience member. Unlike Buddy, the man was beaten up by security.
