* AluminumChristmasTrees: Ha ha! Ashtrays INSIDE by the elevators IN A HOSPITAL! That's funny! Actually, what's funny is that ''wasn't a joke'' - it was standard [[EverybodySmokes realistic set dressing for a hospital set in the 1970's]].
* DancingBear: What, a SilentMovie? In 1976? No way. Gotta see this!
* HarsherInHindsight: Creator/MartyFeldman's character is named Marty Eggs because Feldman's favorite food was eggs, a result of his vegetarianism. Unfortunately, nobody had warned him that eggs were ''not'' a healthy substitute, being high in cholesterol. This, combined with chain smoking, were a direct cause of his eventual fatal heart attack in 1982.
* HilariousInHindsight: [[TagLine "The first silent film in forty years"]] ...and it was ''nearly'' 40 years until [[Film/TheArtist the next major one]] came out.
* OneSceneWonder: "[[Creator/MarcelMarceau NON!]]"
* SignatureScene: As it easily was and still is the funniest part, the joke of a mime providing the only audible dialogue in the film has been discussed quite a bit.
