How do we know it's not deliberate, since the whole basis of the film is making fun of the male chauvinist attitudes that were so prevalent back in the 70s?


* ValuesDissonance: LGBT people are the butt of several jokes in the film, with even the progressive Veronica calling Ron a "fairy boy" for playing the jazz flute. Unlike the other political incorrect viewpoints demonstrated by the characters, this isn't a case of DeliberateValuesDissonance as [[QueerPeopleAreFunny gay people were still frequently mocked in popular media]] in 2004.

* SongAssociation: Just ''try'' listening to Starland Vocal Band's original recording of "Afternoon Delight" and [[CantUnhearIt don't imagine Ron either singing the song with his news team or making silly perverted interjections]]. It doesn't help that the song is already considered [[{{Narm}} one of the cheesiest of '70s AM pop]], to the point that many can ''only'' listen to the "joke" version from the soundtrack. As the song's entry in CondemnedByHistory notes, ''Anchorman'' sealed its fate as being a gag song for generations to come.

Added DiffLines:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Brick really "dumb"? Or is he just incredibly socially stunted but otherwise functional? While he demonstrates incredible social awkwardness, he does show skill as a weatherman.


Added DiffLines:

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: The film describes Brick InUniverse as "mentally retarded", but it is how people in the 1970s referred to people who are now diagnosed as autistic.
