Line 24:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: As [[The Narrator]], DJ does this often.
{{quote|'''DJ''': We're not the typical family from a musical comedy.}}
** When Bob starts singing "I'm Thru With Love" when Schuyler reveals she dumped Holden, Steffie quizzically asks, "What are ''you'' singing about? You're not in love with Holden!"
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Averted mostly, as the only members of the main cast with musical experience were Alan Alda and Goldie Hawn. [[Woody Allen]] had to instruct Hawn and [[Edward Norton]] to sound worse when they sang, not wanting the main cast to sound like professional singers.
** Applies to the dancing in the film too- while the dancers in the 'My Baby Just Cares for Me' scene dance like professionals, [[Edward Norton]]'s dancing is deliberately clumsy and awkward in comparison.
Line 47:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The film was shot in [[New York City]], [[Paris]], and [[Venice]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: One of the final musical numbers in the film is [[Animal Crackers|''Hooray for Captain Spaulding'']], and is sung [[Bilingual Bonus|(in French)]] by the ensemble cast wearing [[The Marx Brothers|Groucho Marx glasses and mustaches]].
** The title of the film is a nod to another film starring [[The Marx Brothers]], ''[[HorsefeathersHorse Feathers]]''.
** DJ's perfect man? [[Brick Joke|Harpo]].
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Implied by DJ at the end that the entire movie is a musical. She states she was told that if it were made into a movie, no one would believe the incredible coincidences unless it was a musical.
* [[Spontaneous Choreography]]: Everywhere in this film!
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Joe's courtship of Von, in large part thanks to his daughters knowledge of Von's inner thoughts.
* [[Strawman Political]]: Scott Dandridge is the conservative version of this, {{spoiler|at least until he has heart surgery and wakes up a liberal, much to Bob's joy. Scott's conservatism is [[Handwaved]] as being down to [[Take That|not enough oxygen getting to his brain]].}}
** Steffie's "limousine liberalism" is also very much a political stereotype. Lampshaded when she says to Schuyler that Charles Ferry is fine to treat as just a "social project" but not as an ''actual human being''.
