1* TheCastShowOff: Henry Winkler does a coin trick on camera that he often does in real life to entertain children.
2* DawsonCasting:
3** Played straight with Creator/JonahHill, who portrayed the 17-year-old Ben at age 21.
4** Averted with Lorraine Nicholson, who portrayed the 14-year-old Samantha while only slightly older at age 15.
5** Inverted with Creator/KatieCassidy, who portrayed the 27-year-old Samantha at age 18. Cassidy was notably younger than Hill, despite playing a character who was supposed to be 10 years older.
6* FakeAmerican: Kate Beckinsale (British) as Donna.
7* PlayingWithCharacterType: Creator/AdamSandler's character. More information on the trope page.
8* ProductionPosse: Frank Coraci had directed Adam Sandler in the comedies ''Film/TheWeddingSinger'' and ''Film/TheWaterboy''.
9* RealLifeRelative: Kate Beckinsale's daughter Lily Mo Sheen plays the little girl at the lakeside during Michael's flashback.
10* RecycledPremise:
11** The concept of a universal remote control was [[OlderThanTheyThink done before]] in ''ComicBook/{{Buster}}'' strip ''Vid Kid'', where the title character used his remote to solve [[MundaneUtility everyday situations]] with often disastrous results.
12** Not to mention [[Recap/Goosebumps1995S3E5Click an episode]] of ''Series/Goosebumps1995'' of the same name (which itself was adapted from a short story from [[Literature/TalesToGiveYouGoosebumps one of the anthology books]]).
13** Creator/JamesGunn had written a script called ''Rewind'', where the owner of a [=VCR=] has a magic remote but was turned down by Sony in favor of ''Click''.
14** The plot also bears an uncanny resemblance to the obscure 1989 short story ''Fast Forward'' by Jenny Pausacker, in which a boy uses a universal remote in much the same way as above, but like ''Click'', he eventually makes the mistake of fast-forwarding through life, leaving him in an auto-pilot state in the interim, which ruins his life. The plot is resolved by him rewinding to when he first received the remote and giving it back.
15* ThrowItIn: As mentioned above, Creator/ChristopherWalken personally decided that [[spoiler:Morty and [[Film/TheProphecy Gabriel]] were the same person]].
16* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The plan was for the entire environment to be frozen whenever Michael presses pause. However, they found that this "bothered" the eye, and so only the characters would be frozen (leaving things like leaves, wind etc running normally).
