* BadBadActing: The "secret" conversation between Don Pedro, Claudio and Leonato regarding Beatrice's love for Benedick is filled to the brim with this, with Claudio repeatedly going full melodrama, Leonato making awkward gestures as he talks and Don Pedro becoming something of a LargeHam constantly on the verge of {{Corpsing}}. Naturally, Benedick suspects nothing.
Added DiffLines:
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: With most of the main cast being British and using their own accents, both Keanu Reeves and Michael Keaton make attempts to hide their natural accents, Reeves by going for a standard RP British accent and Keaton by going for some kind of Irish/Cornish hybrid. Neither are all that successful at it. By contrast, Denzel Washington and Robert Sean Leonard [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent use their own American accents throughout]].

* InsultBackfire: Dogberry is called an ass by Conrade. It clearly gets under his skin, but his insistence on it being entered in as evidence -- and repeating it to all within earshot -- makes him seem more proud of it than anything, and doing so spreads and prolongs the insult much further than it would've normally.

Added DiffLines:
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: At the masquerade, Benedick seems to appear in the guise of a "Jew", complete with stereotyped mask, and keeps up the pretense with a voice that [[JustAStupidAccent isn't much of anything]] beyond a lot of uvular "kh" sounds. Beatrice isn't very impressed with his acting.
