* BilingualBonus: When Manny, Bernard and Fran finally arrive in Heathrow, they each speak to the barman in a different language. Manny says 'An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas', Irish for 'Can I go to the toilet'. [[note]]It's a RunningGag among Irish people that this is the one sentence everyone -- bilingual or otherwise -- remembers from primary school.[[/note]]
* BrickJoke: The customer they send into the hopelessly disorganised stacks to find a book on Schubert is still there, feral and gibbering, when they return two weeks later.
* BusmansHoliday: Bernard describes his ideal holiday as being sitting around reading and drinking, which Manny points out is all he does at home. They pick a destination with an English-language bookshop for him to hang out in.
* GodGuise: Apparently this is what saves them when they're CapturedByCannibals. In Canada.
* PlaneAwfulFlight: Thirteen days of them out of a two week holiday, because Fran got suspiciously cheap tickets with a ridiculous number of layovers.
* VacationEpisode: Subverted in that there are no location shots whatsoever and [[TakeOurWordForIt from what we hear of their trip]] they only managed to spend 40 minutes at their destination anyway.
