Tropes include:

• Adam Westing: John McEnroe.
• Alliterative Name: Babe Bennett continues the trend for Sandler's love interests, though unlike some of the others, her initials aren't V.V.
• Big Good: With or without money, Mr. Deeds always finds a way to invoke this trope. He even goes as far as rescue a woman and all of her cats from a tall, burning apartment building.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: Chuck Cedar.
• Crying Wolf: Tabloid journalist Babe Bennett pretends to be a Distressed Damsel, getting mugged in order to meet Deeds and dig up dirt on him. Later, when she is really in trouble, he doesn't believe her.
• Foot Focus: Deeds has no feeling in one of his feet, which is completely blackened and apparently as hard as wood.
• Flipping the Bird: "ˇOlé!"
• Funny Foreigner: Emilio
• Go Out with a Smile: Preston Blake did.
• Groin Attack: Does not work on Jan, apparently whatever's down there is not normal.
• Heel Realization: Babe has a very emotional one when she realizes she is falling for Deeds, in spite of having lied to him about everything.
• Hero with Bad Publicity: When Deeds rescues a woman and her seven cats from a burning building, the TV tabloid show for which Babe works makes it look as if he killed the cats and sexually assaulted the woman.
• Human Popsicle: Preston Blake was found as this on Mount Everest, kicking off the entire plot.
• Jerk Ass: Mac, Babe's boss.
  • The fake mugger qualifies after what he did to get Deeds out of the way just to win Babe's love.
• Karma Houdini: Mac. He humiliates Deeds on multiple occasions and blows Babe's cover just because he can. NEVER gets any sort of punishment.
• Mood Whiplash: When Deeds makes Emilio puncture his "black foot":
  YOU'RE SICK! YOU'RE SICK! WHY WOULD YOU DO THA-aaaaa I'm just kiddin'.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: What Deeds gives to Babe's "mugger".
• Offscreen Teleportation: Emilo, almost to supernatural levels. Able to go from standing right next to Chuck Cedar all the way to a balcony several hundred meters away in a matter of seconds without being seen. Mostly, this is just for Rule of Funny.
• Product Placement: The gratuitous trip to Wendy's.
• Rescue Romance: Deeds states that this is how his father met his mother, and this is how he himself meets Babe. Subverted in the latter case, however, as her mugger was a friend of hers putting on an act.
• Rich Bitch: Inverted. Deeds may have a multi-million dollar inheritance, but that does not stop him from being so kind to others. See Big Good above.
• Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Deeds as the rich suitor; Babe's coworker and fake mugger as the poor suitor.
• Seamless Spontaneous Lie: Babe's lie about Little Winchestertonfieldville, Iowa turns out to mostly come true, and Deeds is too naive to notice the inconsistencies.
• Stealth Hi/Bye: Emilio makes this a Running Gag.
• Throw It In: Deeds's faux-agony over Emilio puncturing his foot was ad-libbed by Sandler, without telling John Turturro, whose reaction is genuine.
• Unexpected Inheritance: Deeds had no idea his mother had a wealthy uncle before said uncle died. And Emilio is just as shocked to learn he's Preston Blake's illegitimate son.
• Wrestler in All of Us
