Line 16:
* [[The Blind Leading the Blind]]
* [[Butch Lesbian]]: Gina from the speed-dating party.
{{quote| '''Gina''': [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"|Jy-na.]]}}
** Would [[Country Matters|that]] qualify as a [[Meaningful Name]]?
*** About the only way it could qualify more is if she's from Virginia ([[Don't Explain the Joke|VA]]).
Line 31:
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]] - The chest-waxing scene? Yeah, one hundred percent real. ''Ouch.'' <ref>For the obvious reason, this was a one-take scene</ref>
** In fact, at one point they almost ripped off Steve Carrell's ''nipple'', because they forgot the stuff that you're supposed to put on nipples to prevent them from being ripped off.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Andy is choleric, Jay is sanguine, David is melancholic and Cal is phlegmatic.
* [[Good People Have Good Sex]] - The first time lasts sixty seconds. The second time lasts two hours...
* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!]]: Played with, as Trish looks like a realistic young grandma. A ''very attractive'' realistic young grandma.
* [[Hold Me]]: "Hold my hand, man." "What?" "Just-just HOLD MY HAND!!"
* [[Hollywood Nerd]]: Interestingly, Andy has elements of both Type 1 and Type 2. On the one hand, he has many stereotypically "nerdy" and "child-like" interests and hobbies such as collecting action figures, reading comic books, and playing video games. On the other hand, he does not have an overtly nerdy manner of dress, does not wear glasses, has a ripped, muscular physique from working out a lot (and from riding a bicycle everywhere in lieu of even having a driver's license) and is played by the handsome and manly-looking Steve Carell.
Line 46:
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]] - One would think looking at the trailer that the movie would be ''[[American Pie]]'' {{smallcaps|with [[Recycled in Space|STEVE CARRELL!]]}} Turns out the actual message of the movie is nearly the opposite.
* [[Nipple and Dimed]]: Averted... by the scene ''at the quick-dating-place''. Yup, you guessed it - [[Wardrobe Malfunction]]. [[Gag Boobs|And something else, too.]]
* [[Pac -Man Fever]] - Utterly savage example: Cal and David play a [[Play Station 2]] game with [[Nintendo 64]] controllers (One of which is upside-down).
** At least [[Mortal Kombat|what they're playing]] is portrayed correctly, if anything.
*** Until the fatality, which the movie seems to think is interactive. (It isn't.)
Line 62:
* [[Speed Dating]]
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: David went a ''little'' overboard in regards to Amy.
* [[Star -Making Role]]: For Steve Carrell.
* [[Straight Man]]: The titular character: much of the film's humor stems from Andy's deadpan reactions to his friends' whacky attempts to get him laid.
* [[Sudden Musical Ending]]
