* ConfirmationBias: Ruth and her father's [[TheFundamentalist religious fundamentalism]], so very much.

* ConfirmationBias: Ruth and her father's [[TheFundamentalist religious fundamentalism]], so very much. Also the film overall in its anti-religon message, especially the InsaneTrollLogic of Paul's existence conflicting with religion...somehow.

* FanonWelding: Though Edgar Wright's name and the titular ice cream brand are nowhere to be found, some fans consider ''Paul'' to be an unofficial installment in the ''Film/ThreeFlavoursCornettoTrilogy'' due to Creator/SimonPegg and Creator/NickFrost playing the leads, the film being mostly a light-hearted comedy before going into darker comedy in the final act, and there being a mild amount of bloodshed. Even moreso when ''Film/TheWorldsEnd'' came out due to ''Paul'' being a road-trip movie with a challenging goal which fits the tension and high stakes of ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' and ''Film/HotFuzz'', while ''World's End'' is just a group of guys doing a pub crawl while dealing with ridiculously fragile alien robots, with some fans even declaring ''Paul'' to be a more worthy alien-based final entry in the trilogy.

* HesJustHiding: [[spoiler:Despite Haggard having a BaitTheDog arc, his PunchClockVillain moments make some fans hope he gets out of his car before it explodes after going over a cliff, especially after O‘Reilly also survives a near death experience.]]

* OneSceneWonder: The Big Guy's pilot isn't even credited, but is decently memorable for the brief scene where he and the alien [=UFO=] pilot are talking shop in the background after the climax.

** This film is not connected to the Film/BloodAndIceCreamTrilogy, but two years later [[Film/TheWorldsEnd a film in that series]] ''would'' release where Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's characters stumbled across aliens.

Not YMMV


* BrokenAesop: Paul demonstrates the uselessness and emptiness of Ruth's religious beliefs by noting that they fail to explain his existence, and he then heals her eyesight with his magical space powers... both of which are themselves quite fictional.
