- Crosses the Line Twice -- Hooper's deconstruction of the Star Wars saga as being covertly racist, countered by Banky, culminates with:
 |
Hooper: And Jedi's the most insulting installment. Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white! |
 |
- Fridge Logic: Didn't Holden, before he found out Alyssa was gay, wonder what she'd been doing on a panel for minority comic creators?
- Perhaps he thought it was because she was a woman.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In a notable discussion of the film, Hooper theorizes that Archie and Jughead are gay lovers. In 2011, Archie Comics will depict a same-sex wedding with Kevin Keller, the series' first and (to date, only) major character who is openly gay.
- Misaimed Fandom: The character who believed that a lesbian could be "converted" by the right man. Said character is also shown to be an idiot.
- Misaimed Marketing: Arguable. "Guy meets bisexual-identifying-as-lesbian girl, guy loses girl because of his hangups" doesn't sell as well as "Ben Affleck meets lesbian, Ben Affleck falls for lesbian, lesbian... falls for Ben Affleck."
- Narm: A love confession shouldn't give one Ending Fatigue.
- Squick: Alyssa at one point mentions being in a three-way with Gwen Turner from Mallrats... who is also played by Joey Lauren Adams. Of course, YMMV.
