1	%% * ContestedSequel: The second film has its fans but it's also seen as inferior to many.
2	* HilariousInHindsight:
3	** Creator/JohnTravolta and Creator/BruceWillis are best of buds here. In ''Film/PulpFiction'' a few years later, not so much.
4	** In the sequel, Mikey's parents try to get him interested in potty training by singing a song about the potty. Mikey snarks that it's not appropriate subject matter for a musical. Flash forward to 2001, we get the Broadway musical ''Theatre/{{Urinetown}}'', a musical about urination that also lampshades how inappropriate the subject matter is for a musical.
5	* NightmareFuel: Courtesy of the sequel.
6	** During the delivery, Julie's umbilical cord gets tangled around her neck and she struggles to breathe, resulting in a more distressing and bloody delivery scene than the original.
7	** Mikey has a nightmare where a miniature {{Satan}} shows up in his toy collection and turns his teddy bear into a fanged and clawed monster.
8	** Mr. Toilet Man, a furry fanged toilet that harasses Mikey to pee in him and spits disgusting blue goo as he talks, so much that [[http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4595965/woman-has-fear-of-toilets.html one woman made the news]] because she feared going to the bathroom after watching the film as a kid.
9	* RetroactiveRecognition: [[Series/TheXFiles X-Philes]] will recognize both [[Creator/DonSDavis Agent Scully's father]] and the Cigarette Smoking Man as Mollie's doctors. ''Series/StargateSG1'' fans will recognize [[Creator/DonSDavis Major General Hammond]] instead.
10	* {{Sequelitis}}: The first movie was a commercial smash and moderately well-received critically (including two thumbs up from Series/SiskelAndEbert); the more outlandish sequels, very much less so to diminishing returns on both fronts.
11	%% * TearJerker: This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-9kFKuDNVo scene]]. Also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment\|s}}.
12	* ValuesDissonance: In the first film, Mollie blowing up at James for lighting a cigarette in her apartment is meant to be part of her neuroticism as a new mother. James even mocks her for it. Today, that would be seen as not only a perfectly reasonable thing to be upset about, but Mollie would be criticized as a neglectful mother for allowing it, given the past few decades worth of research on the effects of secondhand smoke.
13	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The films are about talking babies (and talking dogs in the third case). They're commonly shown on family-friendly networks, but they're full of adult humor and weren't intended for children.
