The Other Guys: Difference between revisions

** While doing [[Samuel L Jackson]]'s paperwork, Will Farrell hums the theme from ''S.W.A.T.'' Jackson played Hondo in [[The Movie]].

* [[Adam Westing]]: [[Samuel L Jackson]] and [[Dwayne Johnson]] taking their typecast roles.

* [[Analogy Backfire]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]]:

{{quote| '''Terry''': If we were in the wild, I would attack you. Even if you weren't in my food chain, I would go out of my way to attack you. If I were a lion and you were a tuna, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freakin' eat you! And then I'd bang your tuna girlfriend.<br />

** Also after the explosion, his wooden gun is in its holster, then on the ground, then in its holster again.

* [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma]]: Hoitz, half of the time. "I'm a peacock; you gotta let me fly!"

* [[Brick Joke]]: In the beginning of the film Will Ferrell's character is convinced to do a "desk pop". When he fires his gun in Mark Wahlberg's apartment, he offhandedly says "Apartment pop". The [[Binge Montage]] even has a couple of "bar pops".

** The {{spoiler|flying peacock}} at the end of the movie.

** Hoitz having the mad skills to curbstomp a band of motorcycle hitmen singlehandedly may well have stemmed from the physical coordination derived from ''dance lessons''.

* [[Gang of Hats]]: Inverted. Terry and Allen go up against people in business suits so many times ''because'' the bad guys are business people.

** Also parodied when they {{spoiler|interrogate Ershon in his office}}.

* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: The Chechen version of "Dora the Explorer."

* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Gamble and Hoitz, of course. {{spoiler|Then gradually Deconstructed.}}

* [[Serious Business]]: What does Hoitz do, when he and Gamble are in shock after the the nearby explosion and Gamble shouts that the destruction of the Death Star was all but realistic? Warn him not to bad-mouth ''Star Wars'', of course.

* [[Sidetracked By the Analogy]]: Allen does this frequently.

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: [[Foo Fighters (Music)|Foo Fighters]]' "My Hero" just before {{spoiler|two heroic cops jump 20 stories straight into the sidewalk.}}
