Tropes used in The Naked Truth (film) include:

- Master of Disguise: Sonny MacGregor is this, Played for Laughs
- Murder Is the Best Solution: They tried, they tried!
- Old Shame: The In-Story reason our four protagonists (and three hundred others!) are feeling a little frantic.
- Slipping a Mickey: Four people unknowingly drink the spiked sherry together. One of whom had drunk from the very same already drugged bottles the previous day, with potent effect.
