True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: The movie makes more sense when you realize that the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo started out as an absurdist performance-art troupe. The content, however, [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext does not]].

* BrokenBase: Which version is better, the original black and white or colorized edition? Defenders of the colorized edition point to the deliberately washed out colors as enhancing the film's surreal qualities, as well as it being [[CreatorsFavorite Richard Elfman's preferred version]]. Defenders of the black and white version, which was the only version available for decades, say that it makes it feel more like a live action Fleischer Bros. cartoon. And the less said about whether it was a good idea to [[{{Bowdlerization}} replace all the blackface characters with clowns]] in the colorized version, the better.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "Squeezit The Moocher" seems to have been the precursor to [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas "Oogie Boogie's Song,"]] another Creator/DannyElfman-penned Music/CabCalloway tribute.

* FairForItsDay: The film's treatment of Squeezit's twin Rene is very nice considering that A. the movie revels in RefugeInAudacity for pretty much everything and B. it's from 1980. Squeezit defends Rene's gender identity when Flash accuses her of being a gay man in drag, and Frenchy uses Rene's correct pronouns from then on. Rene may be shown to be a pervert who looks forward to being sexually assaulted, but since nearly every other character is perverted, she doesn't stick out in that regard.

Sure, the movie never definitively says if she's trans, but it's close enough from a modern perspective.
