| 9 | !!This film provides examples of: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * AgeInappropriateArt: Pecker frequently displays his photos on the wall of a family restaurant. One of said photos? The pubic hair of a stripper. |
| 12 | * ConsultingMisterPuppet: Pecker's grandmother has a Virgin Mary statue that she is convinced speaks to her, despite her {{ventriloquism}} not being so good. |
| 13 | * CreatorCameo: Creator/JohnWaters has a [[TheVoice voice-only]] role as a pervert on the phone with Shelley. |
| 14 | * CreatorProvincialism: It is a John Waters film, so ''of course'' it's set in Baltimore. |
| 15 | * DisproportionateRetribution: A shopkeeper's reaction to two teenage boys shoplifting is to have them pull their dicks out and take a picture. |
| 16 | * FagHag: Pecker's sister Tina who works at a gay bar. |
| 17 | * IntentionallyAwkwardTitle |
| 18 | * KinderAndCleaner: ''Pecker'' is probably one Waters' tamest pictures next to ''Film/{{Hairspray|1988}}''. Waters himself even admitted in interviews that ''Pecker'' was his "nice" movie. |
| 19 | * MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Pecker and Shelley's makeup sex... which occurs in a voting booth of all places! |
| 20 | * NakedFirstImpression: Tina has no problem answering the door for complete strangers when she has no pants on. |
| 21 | * PhotosLie: Double Subverted in that Pecker's photos are popular because they're so ''truthful'', which in turn gives people the wrong impressions. |
| 22 | * SweetTooth: Little Chrissy, to the point where she downs sugar straight from the bag and her sugar highs are misdiagnosed as ADHD. |
