* MemeticMutation: The movie parodies the tropes and cliches of music biopics so effectively that it's basically become impossible to make one nowadays without someone, somewhere, pointing out that ''Walk Hard'' has ''already'' made fun of it, with a handy quote at the ready to prove it.

* QuestionableCasting: The choices to portray musicians, for the purposes of comedy. Weirdly, all the choices somehow make ''sense'' when viewed through the twisted logic of the film.

Added DiffLines:

* GeniusBonus: The movie has a ton of in-jokes and stylings covering the history of rock and roll - for instance, Ringo Starr's suggestion for a song "about an octopus" is waved off by his bandmates; "Octopus's Garden" was one of only ''two'' Beatles songs where Ringo received sole writing credit. The more you know about the genres and musicians the film covers, the funnier it is.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Dewey reconnecting with his many, many children after his CreatorBreakdown and getting his life back on track as a result. While the [[ExplosiveBreeder obscene number of children]] is played for absurdity, their actual bonding is played as genuinely sweet. Part of the montage is even scored to a lovely cover of [[Series/ThePartridgeFamily "Come On Get Happy."]]
