* [[Historical In-Joke]]: The Red Bull-like Russian beverage "Chernobly" [[Green Rocks|made the time machine work]] and brought the gang back to 1986 at the height of ski season, mere weeks prior to the Chernobyl incident.
* [[I Choose to Stay]]: {{spoiler|Lou. Adam also choses to stay behind, but ends up falling into the hot tub during the return trip. Lou was probably right to do so, since the other characters don't know about their exploits between 1986 and the present day.}}
* [[Interrupted Intimacy]]: Adam, Nick and Jacob walk in on Lou having sex with Adam's sister, meaning Jacob [[Primal Scene|witnesses his]] [[Squick|own conception]]...sort of. When he tries to attack Lou, he disappears. [[Coitus Uninterruptus]] has to ensue to ensure Jacob lives.
* [[

* [[Metalhead]]: Teenage Lou has long hair, a leather jacket, and an [[Iron Maiden (Music)|Iron Maiden]] t-shirt.
* [[Mistaken for Spies]]: See [[Dirty Communists]].
* [["Mister Sandman" Sequence]]: When the four walk into the ski lodge. Leg warmers, [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]], [[Eighties Hair]], ''[[Miami Vice]]'' T-shirts, cassette players, cell phones the size of bricks, [[MTV]] [[Network Decay|playing music videos]], and more all set the mood.
* [[Narrating the Obvious]]: Lampshaded: "Do I really gotta be the asshole that says we got in this thing and went back in time?"
** Also doubles as a [[Title Drop]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: "It's some kind of ... Hot Tub Time Machine!" ''(Stare significantly at the audience)''
Line 62:

*** This scene is also framed like the final scene of "[[Sixteen Candles]]."
** As noted above, "I want my two dollars!" is a reference to Cusack's early film ''[[Better Off Dead]]''. (it's even mentioned as a DVD subtitle).
** When Lou {{spoiler|finally snaps and beats up Blaine}} it's an obvious (shot-for-shot and {{spoiler|punch-for-punch}}) reference to a similar scene in "[[A Christmas Story]]."
*** And just before that happens, someone in the room shouts "[[The Karate Kid|Get a body bag]]!"
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: From the [[Time Travel]], to the [["Mister Sandman" Sequence]], to standing up to the bully and his toadies, to the [[A Little Something We Call "Rock and Roll"|A Little Something We Call Hip-Hop]] scene, to the search for the [[Applied Phlebotinum]] in order to get back, this is ''[[Back to The Future]]'' for a new generation... or more like the same generation, but inverted.
