- Curtain Clothing: After Elaine does a striptease during a "money ball" scheme in which she and her friends try to raise up money to eliminate their enormous debt, she ends up wrapping herself up in a curtain.
- I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine: Curtin and Morris previously worked together on Saturday Night Live.
- Justified Criminal: The Ragtag Band of Misfits plan and carry out a robbery because, thanks to the recession (this was set in the late 1970s), all of them are in financial straits for various reasons.
- Shoulders-Up Nudity: A naked Elaine is shown from the shoulders up after she performs an impromptu striptease to distract the crowd and security from the ongoing heist.
- Tagline: "They're no angels".
