* {{Improv}}: Much of the dialogue was improvised by the actors or fed to them in the moment by Creator/JuddApatow just before a take.



* ClusterFBomb: Ben's rant at the missing doctor. [[spoiler:Just when Allison is going into labor.]]
-->'''Ben Stone:''' Hey, Doc Howard. Ben Stone calling. Guess what the fuck's up? Allison is [[spoiler:going into labor]], and you are not fucking here. No, you know where you're at? You're at a fucking Bar Mitzvah in San Francisco, you motherfucking piece of shit. And you know what I'm gonna have to do now? I'm going have to kill you. I'm gonna pop a fucking cap in your ass. You're dead! You're [[Music/TupacShakur Tupac]]! You are fucking [[Music/TheNotoriousBIG Biggie]], you piece of shit! I hope you fucking die or drop the chair and kill that fucking kid! I hope your plane crashes. Peace, fucker!

* CouldSayItBut: Allison clarifying that the producers are asking her to lose weight. "No, no, legally we can't ask you to do that. Just make it...tighter."

* PrecisionFStrike: While the movie has really filthy dialogue, hearing ''Ryan Seacrest'' curse in the movie is ''really'' surprising.

* UglyGuyHotWife: The movie has the chubby Ben Stone who is also being a gigantic loser with no self esteem about his appearance, paired with the conventionally beautiful, confident Katherine Heigl. Most of the characters wonder WhatDoesSheSeeInHim.

** A better example of Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad than most uses of this one though. The movie takes great pains to show that Ben has to really work to sort out his life, instead of simply becoming a father and fixing his life instantly. It's more of a low-key version of EarnYourHappyEnding.

** Steve Carell appears in the movie as himself. Since one of Carell's most famous roles is ''Film/TheFortyYearOldVirgin'' which costarred Seth Rogen, that would suggest that the "real" Seth Rogen exists in this movie's universe.

Added DiffLines:

* WannabeLine: The film has something of a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]]. Allison and Debbie are trying to have fun for once at a nightclub and the bouncer refuses them entry. Debbie goes on a [[ClusterFBomb wicked]] rant about him not thinking they're "slutty" enough and how pathetic he is. He responds that he hates his job and finds them both immensely attractive, but states that they are still considered too old, and having a pregnant woman (Allison) in the club is preposterous.
