=== Tropes include: ===
 
* [[Anti-Love Song]] / [[Break Up Song]]: "Love Stinks", which is, believe it or not, a real song.
* [[As Himself]]: Billy Idol
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
** Robbie was this to his fiancée Linda, but since he's the central character, her decision to leave him is portrayed as shallow and mean. Even so, Linda is less cartoonishly evil than Glen, who is depicted as being violent, lecherous, and a liar.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Almost-case; the drunken best man from the first wedding ''appreciates'' George, and not for the singing.
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Holly, from both the movie and musical versions, is both slutty and slightly dim. However in the original movie, Julia herself was intelligent with [[Hair of Gold]] in contrast to Robbie's stupid brunette ex, Linda. The musical reverses Julia's and Linda's hair colors, with Julia a [[Brainy Brunette]] / [[Girl Next Door]] type and Linda an even bigger Dumb Blonde than Holly and dabbling into [[Blondes Are Evil]].
* [[The Eighties]]: This film is jam-packed with 1980s pop culture references.
* [[Eighties Hair]]
