| 1 | * BaseBreakingCharacter: Barry, which is a pretty much a given considering he is played by Creator/TomGreen. A wonderfully unusual side character whose bizarre comedy hijinks balance out the more straight, raunchy road-comedy plot at the film's center, or a nauseatingly unfunny weirdo who has little reason to exist in the movie other than questionably serving as an UnreliableNarrator to justify the movie's more implausible sequences. And that's before you get to the role this movie likely played in helping get [[Film/FreddyGotFingered Green's most infamous work]] off the ground. |
| 2 | * DirectorDisplacement: Creator/IvanReitman was an executive producer on the film. |
| 3 | * EnsembleDarkHorse: Rubin has become one, mainly because he provides the movie's (comparitavely) subtler moments of comedy as well as some unexpected GeniusBonus. |
| 4 | * JustHereForGodzilla: Some only watch it for Creator/AmySmart given that she gets naked for a couple scenes. |
| 5 | * MoralEventHorizon: Jacob was merely a creepy God-botherer until he pretended to be Josh's professor on the phone and tricked him into thinking he had an extension on the crucial midterm. |
| 6 | * NauseaFuel: The diner scene, considered the pinnacle of {{squick}} even in a movie that has its share of grossout moments. Doubles as NightmareFuel considering how effortlessly the server [[spoiler: flips the french toast into his exterior]], which suggests he's had a lot of practice hence many more victims. |
| 7 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/DannyPudi a.k.a. [[Series/{{Community}} Abed]] is Arash in the sequel. |
| 8 | * TrappedByMountainLions; The movie spends an awfully long time on Barry's obsession with feeding Rubin's pet snake, despite it having little relevance to plot other than cementing his established trait as a major CloudCuckoolander and delivering a fleeting TakeThatScrappy moment towards Josh. |
| 9 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: While this applies mostly for the technology-related reasons stated above, the fact that at least two characters are hyped up for what would eventually become ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' not only instantly dates this to the start of the 2000s, but even indicates that it was written and filmed before the HypeBacklash for ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' had hit full swing. |
