* [[Cover Drop]]: the exact scene depicted on the poster above is in the film {{spoiler|(minus Ned)}}.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The bond company stooge. Unlike most examples, however, his real name, Bill Ubell, is stated a couple of times.
* [[Five -Token Band]]: Team Zissou, as listed in the beginning of the film:
** Esteban du Plantier
** Klaus Daimler: "Calm, collected, German."
Line 57:
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Early on, Steve refers to Hennessy as his "nemesis", most likely out of jealousy that the latter is richer, more handsome and more successful.
* [[Short Cuts Make Long Delays]]: "You wanna pay for the extra gas?" Considering that {{spoiler|the ship's fuel was set ablaze after it was boarded by pirates}}...
* [[Shout -Out]]: Near the end, the team runs through a pond, {{spoiler|and only Steve gets covered in leeches. The exact opposite of what happens in [[Ghostbusters]], with everyone ''but'' [[Bill Murray]] covered in Marshmellow}}.
** And the closing credits are a shout-out to the closing credit sequence of ''The Adventures Of [[Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension]]'', which co-starred Jeff Goldblum
* [[Spiritual Sequel]]: To [[The Royal Tenenbaums]].
