Line 56:
* [[Love Redeems]]: Aladeen's feelings for Zoey help him become a (slightly) better person.
* [[Make It Look Like an Accident]]: Shabazz seized power from his father after murdering him in a "hunting accident". Though he apparently did a really shitty job of making it look like an accident.

* [[Method Acting]]: Sacha Baron Cohen appeared at the Oscars as General Aladeen and has done many interviews as him.
* [[Mistaken for Terrorist]]: This happens to Aladeen and Nadal when they are on the helicopter. The American tourists think that Aladeen is in league with Bin Laden; in reality, he's just letting Bin Laden crash at his guest house.
* [[People's Republic of Tyranny]]: The Republic of Wadiya does not have an overly long name, but it deserves a mention for just now blatantly undemocratic it is. From the official site:

* [[Playing Against Type]]: Anna Faris, usually typecast as a [[Dumb Blonde]], is playing a [[Tomboy|tomboyish]] political activist.
* [[Pointy-Haired Boss]]: Zoey is a sort of [[Fridge Logic]] example. While she's a [[Benevolent Boss]] she's allowed such blunders as letting an African refugee from a tribe with no concept of money man the registers, a Peruvian woman whose hands have been replaced with hooked prosthetics do inventory, and is oblivious about one of her employees skimming from the till.
Line 71:
* [[Riches to Rags]]
* [[SMURFING]]: Aladeen has ordered that a great number of words in the Wadyian language be replaced with "Aladeen". Including contradictory terms like "positive/negative" which causes a lot of confusion.
