- Non Sequitur Scene - The famous "all the world's a stage" speech (which actually has little to do with the meaning the quote is given) is a very morose speech delivered by the resident Eeyore and talks about the frailties of life and inevitability of death—very out of place in a sitcom-type comedy like As You Like It.
- Ho Yay: Orlando courts Rosalind while he thinks she's a man. Even in the productions that don't play this as him falling for "Ganymede,"[1] the implications are pretty overt.
- Also a Les Yay: Rosalind and Celia.
- Less Disturbing in Context: The "seven ages of man" speech is less disturbing when one realizes who is saying it and why.
- ↑ That name, by the by, originally belonged to Zeus' male lover in Greek Mythology and thus was used to denote an object of male homosexual affection in Renaissance England
