Little Nicky: Difference between revisions

 

[[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mike Nelson]] has gone as far as calling it "the worst comedy ever made", though it remains a [[Cult Classic]].

* [[A Hell of a Time]]: What happens when the two stoner metalheads die in a plane crash? They go to Hell. "They've never been happier."

** Then again said metalheads are [[Pals with Jesus|Pals With The Devil's Son]] so it makes sense that they'd get special treatment.

* [[Adolf Hitler]]: See [[Ass Shove]] below.

* [[All Part of the Show]]: A demon can get away with all sorts of mischief and "special effects" at a Harlem Globetrotters game. Even when the basketball ''explodes'', this only results in an annoyed referee.

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Nicky's roommate.

* [[Anti-Anti-Christ]]?: Nicky, who's actually quite a likable guy.

** On the other hand, it's implied he is often forced to pick one of the larger ones. Ouch.

** The pineapple only happens once. The second time at the end of the movie {{spoiler|he has Cassius and Adrian shoved up there}}.

'''Hitler:''' '''HOLY SCHNIT!!!''' }}

* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]]: Apparently Satan's job. If either Adrian or Cassius took the throne, they would upset that balance.

** [[Continuity Nod]]: Carl Weathers as Chubbs, who died in ''[[Happy Gilmore]]'', appears in the Heaven scenes.

* [[Care Bear Stare]]:

'''Demon''': Bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny! }}

* [[Celebrity Power]]: What ultimately defeats the [[Big Bad]]? {{spoiler|[[Ozzy Osbourne]], who was summoned from an orb that was given to Nicky by ''God''}}.

** It's implied that Nicky isn't dumber because he's ''good'', so much as because he's suffered a lot of head trauma over the years. Thanks to his brothers.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Even with the sympathetic portrayal of the demons, it's the [[Big Bad]] Adrian who balks at seeing {{spoiler|[[Squick|Clint Howard in drag and dancing barechested]]}}.

* [[Everything's Worse with Bees]]: Henry Winkler is covered in bees... twice.

* [[Eye Scream]]: "You got it right in the eye!"

* [[Shapeshifter Showdown]]: Nicky and Adrian duel with their good and evil magic, with highlights including {{spoiler|Adrian turning a cute baby into a creepy midget}}.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Actually a rather touching one to [[Saturday Night Live|Chris Farley]], a good friend of Adam Sandler's, who had recently died. According to the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] in Heaven, he ended up working in Heaven as a fitness instructor and dating Nicky's mother ([[Reese Witherspoon]]).

* [[Speech Impediment]]: Nicky. It's implied that this is due to [[Comedic Sociopathy|having his face smashed with a shovel]].

* [[Subliminal Seduction]]: Parodied. Nicky reveals a Satanic backwards message on a song by the soft-rock band Chicago.

* [[They Killed Kenny]]: Nicky is killed ''seven'' times in the span of the ninety minute movie. Being a denizen of Hell, he can just walk right back out. Deaths include: Being hit by a train twice, being hit by a truck and a bus, attacked by a polar bear off-screen, drowned by his roomate and for the finale hit in the head with a large rock.

* [[Toilet Humour]]: After all, it ''is'' an Adam Sandler movie.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: At one point, Nicky's final fight with Adrian becomes a pillow fight.

* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]
