Line 46:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The Ho Yay between Tyler and the narrator is very much intentional.
* [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]: The story is supposed to show how awful and self-destructive Fight Club, Project Mayhem and basically anything at all to do with Tyler Durden is, but some fans instead think it's glorifying violence and Tyler is living the life they all want to live, to the point where some people are [[Completely Missing the Point|setting up Fight Clubs.]]
** Alternatively, the story is supposed to mock both ways. It's meant to scorn the normal corporate suburban life and how people need to learn to let go a little more, but also show the dangers of living completely like someone like Tyler. Both the book and the movie show that you can and need to find a balance, and not become a person solely focused on their appearance, money, and job, but not become a self-destructive nihilistic nut like Tyler.<br />Project Mayhem was an exaggerated version of the very real [[wikipedia:Cacophony Society|Cacophony Society]], which the author was a member of. The Cacophony Society was formed out of a group known as the Suicide Club ([[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|though they did not actually commit suicide]]) and is more or less the [[Evil Twin]] of [[Improv Everywhere]], where they play pranks to make people unhappy rather than happy.
* [[Easter Egg]]: {{spoiler|In detail [http://www.eeggs.com/tree/1525.html here]. }}
* [[Empty Fridge Empty Life]]: "Yeah, I know, I know, a house full of condiments and no real food."
