=== ''Be Cool'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Actor Allusion]]: These are peppered throughout, as the film has fun with its [[Ensemble Cast]].
** A prime example is [[Dwayne Johnson]], who plays gay bodyguard and wannabe-movie star Elliot Wilhelm, and who's perhaps best known as "The Rock" from his former pro-wrestling career.
{{quote| '''Linda Moon''': "He can raise just one eyebrow at a time... and that's all he thinks it takes to be an actor."}}
* [[Adorkable]]: Elliot, the sweet, sensitive and bumbling gay-bodyguard played by [[Dwayne Johnson]].
* [[Adult Child]]: Elliot and his wigga-wannabe boss Raji.
Line 26:
* [[Playing Against Type]]: [[Dwayne Johnson]] absolutely endears himself to audiences and finally showcases his acting versatility by playing a sweet, clumsy, sensitive and [[Adorkable]] gay bodyguard.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Used as a [[Take That]] to the MPAA ratings board, since ''Be Cool'' received a PG-13 rating.
{{quote| '''Chili''': "Did you know that you can only use the F-word once in a movie and still get a PG-13 rating? You know what I say to that? ''Fuck it''... I'm done."}}
* [[Stop Being Stereotypical]]: Invoked by celebrity music producer Sin LaSalle, who chastises his cousin Dabu when the latter pulls up to Sin's house in a big black Hummer, with spinning rims and rap music blasting from the stero.
{{quote| '''Sin''': "Man, why you gotta reinforce the stereotype? I ''live'' here. I'm on the ''neighborhood watch''." }}
