Line 25:
* [[Groin Attack]]: A rare female variant.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: In a rare threesome, Dale, Saul, and Red.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: There are at least half a dozen cast members that should inspire this if you've seen enough Judd Apatow movies, but did anyone else notice that the [[Big Bad|Evil Drug Lord]] in this thing is [[Office Space|Bill friggin' Lumbergh]]?
** I didn't know [[Grounded for Life|Uncle Eddie]] was a hitman.
* [[Film/Ho Yay|Ho Yay (Film)]]: Dale, Saul and Red, in a subtext three-way.
Line 45:
* [[Useful Notes/Mixed Martial Arts|Mixed Martial Arts]]: Dale's girlfriend Angie has her motel television tuned to a UFC fight in the foreground as they discuss their relationship over the phone.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Budlofsky keeps talking about needing to get home to eat dinner with his wife {{spoiler|and is eventually shot by Matheson for choosing to go home instead of shooting Saul.}}
* [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?]]: Immediately after the action spectacular climax, the heroes go to a diner and talk about all the amazing things they just did.
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Subverted by Matheson who is very much in touch with his feelings. It doesn't stop him from being a psychopath, though.
* [[Sex Is Interesting]]: Dale's girlfriend seems to be under the impression that she's a mature, interesting person because she's had sex with seventeen different guys (Director's Cut only). Any idea the audience may have had that this could be true evaporates when she actually tries to use this as an argument.
* [[Slo -Mo Big Air]]: Dale and Saul in a stolen police car with a windscreen covered in red Slushee.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''Superbad''.
* [[Stoner Flick]]: Subverted - After a certain point Dale says he has to stop smoking weed due to the fact everything that went wrong in the movie is because of him smoking weed. The movie itself is almost a mix of pro- and anti-pot film.
