Assuming you've been notified the death of actor Ron Lester.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In a parody of ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'', Jake tries serenading Janey with "[[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Janie's Got a Gun]]", and it predictably goes wrong. And nowadays seems even more innapropriate given the decade that followed had enough school shootings to force certain facilities to install metal detectors.

** The rest of the soundtrack counts, as it's full of '80s covers from bands such as Music/TheSmashingPumpkins ("Never Let Me Down Again" by Music/DepecheMode), Orgy ("Blue Monday" by Music/NewOrder--the cover was a radio hit a couple of years prior to this film), Music/SystemOfADown ("The Metro" by Berlin), Saliva ("Message of Love" by The Pretenders), and {{Music/Muse}} ("Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" by Music/TheSmiths).
