Line 2:

{{quote|
[[Eccentric Millionaire]] '''Donald Sinclair''' }}
Line 31:
* [[A MacGuffin Full of Money]]: The prize awaiting the racers in Silver City.
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: The bartender
{{quote|
'''Bartender:''' I am a woman.
'''Owen:''' ... }}
* [[Ambulance Chaser]]: One of them saw a potential client in Enrico when he got ran over ''by an AMBULANCE''!
Line 52:
* [[Coincidental Accidental Disguise]]: Randy with a Hitler-moustache-looking lipstick smudge. Driving a Mercedes decked out in swastikas. Doing what appears to be Nazi salutes. As a burnt tongue makes his speech sound ambiguously German. To an audience of World War II veterans. ''And giving them [[Accidental Unfortunate Gesture|the finger.]]''
* [[Comeback Tomorrow]]: A non-insulting comeback: in ''[[Rat Race]]'', while Nick is flirting with Tracy. They're both reading the same biography of Charles Lindbergh, and she tells him that she's up to the part where "[[Blatant Lies|he's just had a sex change]]". A moment later he learns that she's a pilot.
{{quote|
'''Tracy:''' There's at least one.
'''Nick:''' When I walk away, I'm gonna think of something great to say to that.
'''Tracy:''' Good. Mail it to me. }}
** A few scenes later he comes back having realized the obvious comeback: "Two if you count Lindbergh."
Line 62:
* [[Dance Party Ending]]: The movie ends with all the characters dancing (and then stage-diving) at a Smash Mouth concert as the band played "All Star."
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]:
{{quote|
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: At the beginning, when Owen Templeton is mentioned on the TV screen:
{{quote|
'''Owen Templeton:''' ''(on TV screen)'' Dallas, call it in the air. }}
** The game could not have taken place '''"at Dallas"''' because in [[American Football]], the '''AWAY''' team ''always'' gets to call the coin toss (for the beginning of a game and for overtime). [[Fridge Brilliance|That's why everyone considers him a bonehead; because he asked the wrong team to call.]]
Line 80:
* [[Drop the Cow]]: One tied to an hot air balloon, nevertheless.
* [[Eccentric Millionaire]]: Sinclair. He even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades it]].
{{quote|
* [[Epic Race]]
* [[Everything's Better with Cows]]: First the Cody Brothers run into a herd of cows. Duane Cody collides with quite a few while holding onto a hot air balloon. Then one of those gets snagged by the balloon, becoming a [[Running Gag]].
Line 99:
* [["No Respect" Guy]]: Nick Schaffer.
* [[Nobody Poops]]: Subverted with Kimberly Pear. Poor girl.
{{quote|
'''Randy''': "Prairie-dogging it"? What the hell does ''that'' mean?
'''Jason''': You know how prairie-dogs stick their heads out of holes in the ground?
'''Randy''': [[Late to The Punchline|Oh...]] ''[[Squick|Oh!]]'' }}
* [[Not So Above It All]] - Nick Schaffer starts out as the only one not convinced by Sinclair's too-good-to-be-true offer. But when he meets a helicopter pilot just as all the planes have been grounded, including all the other contestants...
* [[Oh Crap]] - Wayne Knight's character upon striking Enrico with his van... and the accident is seen by Gloria Allred.
{{quote|
'''Driver:''' [[Precision F-Strike|Shit!]] [[This Is Gonna Suck|Gloria Allred...]] }}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Nick Schaffer could be classed as this, as he has the sanest approach to finding a way to win, and the best idea when they get to meet Smash Mouth. Too bad he teams up with Tracy Faucet...
* [[Rich Boredom]]: the original reason for it.
* [[Rule 34]]:
{{quote|
* [[Running Gag]]:
** The high rollers keep making increasingly ridiculous bets on everything in sight.
Line 122:
* [[Take Our Word for It]]: Silver City is said to be a small town; but the nearby monster truck rally and Smash Mouth Concert/Fundraiser seem to beg to differ.
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: Run a Barbie Museum... dedicated to Nazi official Klaus Barbie, not the doll. Then the Pears steal Adolf Hitler's car, (Or Nazimobile, as Randy calls it) which was on display.
{{quote|
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Blaine Cody due to his tongue piercing.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: "Dad, I'm [[Unusual Euphemism|PRAIRIE-DOGGING.]] ;_;"
{{quote|
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]:
** Enrico Pollini, who is so absent-minded that he got hit by a speeding car for running onto the road trying to hail a taxi. Later he does show enough savviness to realize exactly ''what'' the Heart Courier wants when he starts asking him if he has any relatives that would miss him.
