Line 14:
* [[Angry Black Man]]: One could say that there are a few (particularly Buggin Out), but the trope is somewhat inverted when one black man tells another whom is spouting ABM language that he "doesn't want to hear that horseshit."
** In the commentary track for the DVD release, [[Spike Lee]] specifically notes, when Buggin Out begins ranting about the pictures in the Pizzeria, that he disagrees with the character, saying that it's Sal's place, so it's his right to put whatever pictures he likes on the walls.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: [[Samuel L. Jackson]] gets one--Mister Señor Love Daddy--as is his due.
* [[Big Applesauce]]: Bed-Stuy edition.
* [[Big Brother Bully]]: Pino to Vito.
* [[Big No]]
* [[Brooklyn Rage]]: Buggin' Out.
* [[But Not Too Black]]: Mookie gets Pino to admit that 1) his favorite basketball player is Magic Johnson, 2) his favorite actor is [[Eddie Murphy]], and 3) his favorite musician is [[Prince (Music)|Prince]]. When Mookie calls him out on his hypocrisy of referring to every black person he encounters as a "Nigger", Pino [[Like a Weasel|backtracks]] and says "They're different".
* [[Casting Gag]]: Buggin' Out, who says Sal is racist for not putting any black people on his Italian-American exclusive "Wall of Fame" is played by Giancarlo Esposito, who is himself half-black, half-Italian American.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Smiley's photos.
Line 49:
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]:Mother Sister
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Radio Raheem.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Radio's description of his LOVE and HATE jewlery is a reference to ''[[The Night of the Hunter (Film)|The Night of the Hunter]]''.
* [[Spicy Latina]]: Tina.
* [[Torches and Pitchforks]]: At least the former is used.
