YMMV: Abbottand Costello Meet Frankenstein
  • "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: In a scene set immediatly after Talbot first shows up, Chuck and Wilbur walk into his room the morning after he wolfs out and find it completely wrecked. Chuck comments, "Man, what a bender he was on!" In Real Life Lon Chaney had a drinking problem and, according to the film commentary, spent his weekends getting drunk and getting into room-smashing brawls with a friend.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Vincent Price's cameo in the end is even funnier now than it was back then. While Price had starred in The Invisible Man Returns it wasn't actually a horror film, and Price was not known at the time as a Horror star. It wouldn't be till 5 years after this movie that Price was in his first Horror film, House Of Wax 1953, and it wouldn't be till another 5 years until he began to regularly star in them. Today, Price's cameo feels like the passing of the torch from one generation of Horror film stars to the next.
  • I Am Not Shazam: Aside from the title, Wilbur calls The Monster "Frankie" when he tries to reason with it.
    • Otherwise averted, as characters who should know better (such as Dracula) refer to the Monster as "Creature" or such.
