* [[Actor Allusion]]: Gary Cole wears his ring from ''[[Crusade]]''; presumably it's a class ring here.
* [[Billing Displacement]]: These days DVD cases and the like tend to present it as if it were a [[Jennifer Aniston]] vehicle, but while she does play the [[Love Interest]] her role is actually fairly minor.
** [[Word Of God]] is the studio insisted Judge hire Aniston specifically so they'd have someone (anyone) famous for the ad campaign. He agreed because he thought she was right for the part and did a good job playing it but the studio wouldn't have cared either way.
* [[The Danza]]: Jennifer Aniston's character is named Joanna. Joanna also happens to be Aniston's middle name in real life.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Those with keen eyes will recognize one of the Bobs as [[Scrubs|Dr. Cox]].
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Milton was the character who made people take notice of [[Stephen Root]].
 
* [[Technology Marches On]]: The floppy disk that Peter and Co. use to load the virus.
** The printer that the main characters destroy, plus the computers they use in the office (and the OS).
* [[Trope Namer]]: [[The Red Stapler]] — for the situation where a movie affects or creates a [[Real Life]] demand for an object, good or service. Swingline didn't make them when the movie was produced, but does now.
* [[Vindicated by Cable]]: One of the premier examples. The movie pulled in mediocre box office numbers, despite relatively good reviews from critics, but found a second life on premium cable and on home video. [[Comedy Central|Comedy Central's]] frequent airings brought the movie to an even wider audience, quickly granting it [[Cult Classic]] status.
