* Creator/RobertDowneyJr got an Oscar nomination for his performance. '''In a comedy.'''
** Furthermore, he did it as an [[FakeNationality Australian]] ''playing in {{Blackface}}'', with a carefully nuanced role that successfully conveyed to the general audience not as a racial insult, but as a joke about an actor MethodActing to a ridiculous extreme.
*** Even better, Stiller showed the film to representatives of the NAACP, and they made it clear they got the joke.
* Kirk Lazarus' speech resulted in pretty much all of media cleaning up their treatment of the disabled, with slurs against them virtually disappearing and even the darkest works treat it as hate speech and choose not to use it.

* Although many are over-the-top and played for laughs, the last balls-to-the-wall action scene in ''TropicThunder'' contains several. The one that kicks it off is the most memorable.
