* BlackComedy: Almost literally, on two occasions: near the start of the film, when a baby Nathan is pushed by his brother down a flight of stairs, and again when a different baby is mistaken by Nathan (in his chef personality) for a chicken and nearly cooked alive. The last one is perhaps not as bad considering the infant's [[BabyLanguage subtitled Goo's and Ga's]] make it clear that he doesn't think Nathan knows how to turn on the oven anyway.
