Line 24:
* [[Creepy Basement]]: Harold and Kumar end up hiding in a [[Deep South|Texan couple's]] dark, dingy basement. Earlier the couple had been joking about keeping their deformed incest baby locked up in there, which doesn't help. {{spoiler|[[Double Subverted|Turns out they weren't joking.]]}}
* [[Dartboard of Hate]]: [[George W. Bush]] has one of these with a picture of Osama Bin Laden on it.
* [[Death by Racism]]:
** Ron Fox, an evil white-supremacist government agent {{spoiler|falls out of an aeroplane ''without'' a parachute}} after 90 minutes of brutalizing and terrorizing ethnic minorities.
** Also, a Klansman pursuing Harold and Kumar trips and his burning torch gets tangled in his robes. It's not confirmed whether or not he dies.
* [[The Deep South]]: Most of the action takes place here.
Line 34:
* [[Flowery Insults]]: Kumar calls an [[Ambiguously Brown]] security guard "Matthew Perry" and the guard seriously takes offense to that.
{{quote|'''Kumar''': Compared to me, you look like Matthew Perry.
'''Security guard''': Hey, who you calling 'Matthew Perry,' [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]]!
'''Kumar''': I'm calling YOU 'Matthew Perry,' [[Buffy-Speak|you Matthew Perry-looking bitch]]. }}
* [[Free-Fall Fight]]: {{spoiler|Agent Fox leaps out of an airplane without wearing a parachute just so he can shoot at the title heroes on the way down.}}
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Neil's prostitute.
* [[
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Kumar's ex [[One Tree Hill|Rachel Gatina]] is getting married to [[Brothers and Sisters|Jason McCallister]] while they are being chased by a [[The Daily Show|Daily Show correspondant]]. Oh and [[The Hangover|Stu Price]] isn't very good at Korean.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]:
{{quote|'''Kumar''': You get high and then you put other people who smoke weed in jail?
Line 64:
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: Ron Fox.
* [[Race Tropes]]: Ron Fox tries to use these to get witnesses to talk, wasting [[Trademark Favorite Food|grape soda]] for a black guy and [[Greedy Jew|spilling a bag of coins]] for Jewish people. These tactics only serve to make people more affronted by his outright racism.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)]]: A marine at Guantanamo Bay attempts to force the characters to give oral sex.
* [[Reality Subtext]]: The sight of Harold and Kumar causes Rob Corddry's character to rant about how "al-Qaeda and the North Koreans" must be teaming up. [[John Cho]]'s father actually was a refugee from what is now North Korea, who faced near-starvation while fleeing south.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: The only reason Ron Fox's ''exceptional'' racism won't make you leave in disgust is just how earnest and over the top he is about it. [[Too Dumb to Live|That and he's as dumb as a fence post]].
Line 76:
* [[Take That]]: "It'll be like ''[[Eurotrip]]'', except it won't suck".
* [[Three-Way Sex]]: Kumar fantasizes about this with his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa, and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|a giant bag of weed]].
* [[Toxic Friend Influence]]: Kumar. The film goes out of its way to point this out.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: There is a touching conversation about how the convictions of the father are passed on to the son, resulting in {{spoiler|George W. Bush calling up his dad to tell him off.}}
* [[What Could Have Been]]: In universe: The DVD shows several scenario with "Dude Change the movie" feature. The most different "Harold and Kumar Go to Amsterdam" which is initiated by Kumar not lighting bong. It is a short film with the duo narrating while no one speaks. Harold finds Maria and Kumar {{spoiler|ends up marrying a girl named Ellie whose boyfriend was murdered. The two end up staying in Amsterdam}}
