* TrappedByMountainLions; The movie spends an awfully long time on Barry's obsession with feeding Reuben's pet snake, despite it having little relevance to plot other than cementing his established trait as a major CloudCuckoolander and delivering a fleeting TakeThatScrappy moment towards Josh.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Barry, who either is a wonderfully unusual side character whose bizarre comedy hijinks balance out the more straight, raunchy road-comedy plot at the film's center, or a nauseatingly unfunny weirdo who has little reason to exist in the movie beyond a TrappedByMountainLions subplot that brings nothing to the table.

And that's before you get to the role this movie likely played in helping get [[Film/FreddyGotFingered Green's most infamous work]] off the ground.
