1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: As with most Creator/CameronCrowe films, it has an excellent and aptly-assembled soundtrack. Special mention must go to "Shelter From the Storm" by Music/BobDylan over the end credits.
2* TheCatchPhraseCatchesOn: Many, including "Help me help you", "You had me at 'hello'", "You complete me", and most notably "Show me the money". Two well-earned spots on AFI' s "100 Quotes" List, with the "hello" line ranked at #52 and the "money" line at #25.
3* ConsolationAward: While Creator/CubaGoodingJr rightfully did deserve the Award for Best Supporting Actor, many viewers felt that the Oscars only gave him that award after they snubbed him from his ground-breaking performance in ''Film/BoyzNTheHood''.
4* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ray for being an adorably precocious child, and getting a lot of great lines.
5* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcrxiDWyeVI hug that Jerry and Rod give each other]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhVuXKypPs0 touchdown celebration Rod does]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of73UiXUvjA Rod's subsequent breakdown]] during his final interview are all heartwarming in the moment, but become even more so when one sees how Creator/CubaGoodingJr perfectly emulated each of them during his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnCMqr1QRQw Oscar acceptance speech]].
6* HilariousInHindsight: The final scene shows Ray throwing a baseball with shockingly good accuracy and distance, prompting Jerry to think he might have potential. While Jonathan Lipnicki didn't become a baseball player, he did become a [[https://www.picsofcelebrities.com/celebrity/jonathan-lipnicki/pictures/jonathan-lipnicki-pictures.html jacked]] MMA fighter and achieve a black belt in BJJ.
7* MemeticMutation:
8** "You had me at hello" usually as a response to some kind of offer. It's also sometimes turned around to "you ''lost'' me at hello."
9** Ray's line about the weight of the human head to a lesser extent.
10** ''Website/EverythingIsTerrible's'' quest to collect as many VHS tapes of the film as possible, which has spiraled into an attempt to build a pyramid tomb housing theme.
11** "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"
12* NarmCharm: Some of the lines can be seen as {{Narm}}y due to constant parody and ShoutOut, but in the context of the film they're still rather sweet.
13* RetroactiveRecognition:
14** [[Film/StuartLittle George Little]] is Ray.
15** Creator/EmilyProcter, Creator/LucyLiu and Creator/HilarySwank have bit parts as some of Jerry's ex-girlfriends.
16** Creator/DonalLogue also has a small part as one of Jerry's co-workers at SMI.
17* SignatureScene: The Christmas party at the end, for giving us not one, but two of the most heartwarming movie quotes of all time.
