{{tropelist}}
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: The ultraorthodox Jew in ''Cleopatra Schwartz''.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: The song played when Big Jim Slade bursts into the room is "Hevenu Shalom Aleichem", a Hebrew song used in the welcoming of people. So the soundtrack is literally welcoming him into the film.
* [[Blaxploitation Parody]]:
* [[Bowdlerise]]: There is an edited for TV version that shows up on [[Comedy Central]] sometimes. Of course, all the nudity in the "11:00 News" sketch is edited out with pan and scan tricks, and "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" is simply excised completely, even though credits for the sketch still show up at the end.
▲* [[Catholic School Girls Rule]]: ''Catholic High School Girls in Trouble''.
* [[Courtroom Antic]]{{context}}
* [[Disaster Movie]]:
* [[Dojikko]]: "Carol" in the "Feel-Around" sketch, a rare western example.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Played for laughs during the "Catholic High School Girls In Trouble" sketch - but it does include a great deal of straight-up [[Fan Service]] too.
* [[Film At Eleven]] / [[Kent Brockman News]]
* [[
* [[Game Show Appearance]]: Two: parodies of ''
* [[Happy Birthday to You]]: The use of this song in the film cost the filmmakers $10,000.
* [[Housewife]]: A parody of educational films features one tortured by an omnipotent narrator because she took zinc for granted.
▲* [[It Got Worse]]: The "Zinc" filmstrip sketch starts out with soap disappearing and ends with a woman's child shot, her husband dead of a heart attack, her car nonfunctional, and her house burning down.
* [[Mega Corp]]: Argon Oil. "At Argon, we're working to keep your money."
* [[N-Word Privileges]]: Spoofed aversion: Rex Kramer, Danger Seeker shouts the word in the middle of a large group of black people and runs.
Line 36 ⟶ 31:
* [[Pants-Free]]{{context}}
* [[Rapid-Fire Comedy]]{{context}}
* [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie]]:
** The DVD commentary reveals that the actress playing Cleopatra would take the job only if there was a contractual obligation that she would play the character in any full-length version of the material.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]{{context}}
Line 45 ⟶ 40:
* [[The Television Talks Back]]: TV news anchormen get distracted by the characters making out in front of the TV.
* [[They Fight Crime]]: Cleopatra Schwartz and her Hasidic Jew husband.
* [[Wall-Bang Her]]:
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: As with many ZAZ films, much of the humor is pun-derived. The "[[Fan Service|Catholic High School Girls]] [[Fetish Fuel|In Trouble]]" segment has the following gems: a woman seductively asks a man to "show me your nuts," and in response the man makes silly faces and hand puppets, demonstrating his lack of mental stability. Two pornographic actresses are said to be [[And Starring|introduced]] in the film in the credits - and a third has them both greet and shake hands with each other [[Naked People Are Funny|while in the nude]]. "Linda Chambers" is to recreate her classic role - she does a pencil roll across the grass.
=== The extended skit "A Fistful of Yen" also features the following tropes: ===
* [[All Just a Dream]]
