* AccidentalAesop: Before you quit your job, make sure there's some way to support yourself afterwards. If Jane had waited to see if Dick's new position as vice president of communications would actually work out, she would have still had her job as a travel agent and they wouldn't have had to struggle as much to make ends meet.

* HarsherInHindsight: The film was strongly satirizing the economic strife under then-President UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush. But, it becomes more uncomfortable after 2008, when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and plunged the economy into recession, causing high unemployment and putting more people into the same sort of financial troubles Dick and Jane go through.

* AcceptableReligiousTargets: Televangelists--the one presented argues an early version of ''Literature/TheSecret'', but tells people they must first give him money before the philosophy he preaches can get it back tenfold. When robbed, he begins preaching against the sin of stealing, but descends into "Give me back my goddamn money!" Interestingly, transsexuals are ''not'' acceptable targets here--Dick makes fun of one, but it's treated as a KickTheDog moment for him.
