- Fridge Brilliance: When BB is with the car salesman at the beginning, he warns the salesman not to scam him. Of course BB would know a scam when he heard one; he does enough of them in his job.
- Hollywood Homely: Nora.
- Jerkass Woobie: Tilley. He is most definitely not a nice guy, and is neglectful of Nora, but it's hard not to feel sorry for him because of all the bad things that happen to him.
- Retroactive Recognition: Gaffney is the car salesman BB deals with at the beginning.
- Spiritual Successor: As noted on the main page, to Diner. The films even share two characters - Bagel, the tin man played in both movies by Michael Tucker, and Florence, the diner waitress played by Florence Moody.
