'''Flakfizer:''' Then I'm your man! }}

* [[Brick Joke]]: {{spoiler|The ambulance that Roland T. Flakfizer chases comes back again at the end when Roland tells Mrs. Oglethorpe that he'll never leave her side}}.

* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: Flakfizer ''talks'' a great game, at any rate.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] / [[Genius Ditz]]: Jacques.

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: In the best [[Marx Brothers]] tradition, none of the three protagonists buy into the significance of ''anything'' that happens in the movie. Rocco and Jacques are sometimes allied with Flakfizer, sometimes antagonists ... and it doesn't matter in the least.

* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]

'''Flakfizer:''' "Whatever you call it. Flogging the carrot, polishing the cuestick, choking the chicken, clearing the snorkel..." }}

* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Jacques dresses up as a ballerina during Volare's premiere.

* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]: Flakfizer ''et al'' dress up as doctors to infiltrate a hospital and recover an incriminating letter from Lazlo.

'''Roland:''' "Why do you think we have such long instruments?" }}

* [[Executive Meddling]] / [[Screwed by the Network|Screwed By The Studio]]: The movie was originally filmed as ''Lame Ducks'' by Paramount. However, when the Zuckers left for another studio, Paramount scrapped the planned publicity campaign, changed the title, and withdrew the film after its initial screenings (though the film did make it onto home video months later and has even seen a DVD release).

* [[Extended Disarming]] / [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Done in montage when the heroes have been arrested. During jail processing, Jacques empties the pockets of his pants and longcoat, revealing an ever-growing pile of odd items including a baby bottle, fire extinguisher, rubber alligator, bicycle pump, a feather duster, and what might be ''his own foot''.

* [[Foreign Queasine]]: Referenced in passing.

'''Rocco:''' "Know dogs? I used to be a chef in a Korean restaurant!" }}

* [[Grande Dame]]: Lillian Oglethorpe, in true Margaret Dumont fashion.

* [[Mobile Kiosk]]: At one point, Jacques produces and expands a collapsible office desk, complete with collapsible computer, collapsible printer, and inflatable secretary.

* [[Mock Millionaire]]: Flakfizer plays the role when he inspects the theater before the premiere, complete with stretch limousine, pimp jacket, and bikini-clad admirers.

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The video cover claims that this movie is "In the tradition of [[Abbott and Costello]], [[The Three Stooges]] and [[Take That|The]] [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] [[Take That|Administration]]". In reality, this is a remake of a [[Marx Brothers]] movie and doesn't take after the humor of Abbott and Costello or the Stooges at all.

* [[Pillow Pregnancy]]: Done as part of Flakfizer's introduction. When he arrives at the scene of a minor car accident and sees a woman passenger, he immediately sticks an instant-inflating pillow under her dress and yells loudly about the liability due to her condition.

* [[Porn Stash]]: Jacques sets one up for Lazlo during the reading of the Oglethorpe will.

* [[Rapid-Fire Comedy]]: Very much so.

* [[Ring Ring CRUNCH]]: Part of Jacques' morning routine. He even has a dresser drawer full of broken alarm clock parts and a closet full of new clocks for this purpose.

* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: Rocco is not only a cab driver, but also cleans swimming pools and runs his own toupee business. In fact, he's only driving the cab as a sideline -- as soon as he gets his driver's license, he's out of there.

* [[With a Capital T]]

'''Jacques:''' "I hated teaching."}}
