* TrollingCreator: An interesting example. [[spoiler:While Haneke admits that he deliberately wrote in the [[DiabolusExMachina remote-control rewind]] to play with the audience's emotions, he also wanted to teach the viewers firsthand that movies are manipulative by design and that the viewers can easily fall for a movie's smoke and mirrors.]]

* CreatorBacklash: [[Creator/TimRoth Tim Roth]] refuses to watch the English-language film owing to Devon Gearhart (Georgie) strongly resembling his son. He also says that the film was incredibly difficult to make, psychologically speaking.
* CreatorsOddball: Haneke normally takes measures to have his movies [[{{Realism}} match reality]] as closely as possible; for example, it's rare for him to include [[AudioDiegesis non-diegetic sound]] in his movies. However, ''Funny Games'' breaks Haneke's conventions from the very beginning with the movie opening to a rendition of loud metal BackgroundMusic that only the audience can hear. In addition, the character Paul subverts Haneke's usual realism as Paul is able to BreakTheFourthWall to communicate with the audience and even [[spoiler:[[RealityWarper manipulates reality]] with a remote control]], all of which make ''Funny Games'' unusually fantastical for a Haneke film.
