* FunnyAneurysmMoment: A FreezeFrameBonus example - if you pause the film on Rob sticking Marie's CD in his player, you'll get a track listing which includes in amongst some funny ones which must've been added purely as Easter eggs (Ghostbusters? Mmm Bop?) a song called ''911 Is A Joke''. Eek.
** ItMakesSenseInContext: It has nothing to do with 9/11: it's a PublicEnemy song from 1990, and is actually about poor response times from paramedics called to black neighborhoods.

--> I was crazy about you, and I wanted to sleep with you one day, but not when I was sixteen. When you broke up with me, ''you'' broke up with ''me'', because I was, to use your charming expression, [[NatureAbhorsAVirgin ''tight'']]...I cried and I cried and I hated you. When that little shitbag asked me out and I was too tired to fight him off! [[DateRape It wasn't rape]] because [[QuestionableConsent I said okay]], but it wasn't far off. You know, I couldn't have sex until after college because I hated it so much? That's when you're supposed to have sex, Rob. In college! Now you want to have a little chat about rejection? Well, [[PrecisionFStrike fuck you]], Rob!

The point of that observation was that, at the time, no one ever worried that teenagers listening to pop songs about breakups would make them violent. It\'s not that teenagers didn\'t listen to songs about breakups at the time, and now they do.
