- Acceptable Targets: Male models, clothing executives, and the fashion industry as a whole.
- Cult Classic
- Fashion Victim Villain: Mugatu looks like an unholy mixture of Satan, Cruella DeVille, and a poodle. He also inexplicably dresses up as a young German boy during the brainwashing scene.
- Fridge Brilliance:
- Zoolander's breathless accent probably sounds strangely familiar. It is: Ben Stiller is impersonating Marilyn Monroe.
- Derek is from New Jersey and can't turn left. Anyone who has driven in New Jersey would find this alternately funny and infuriating - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jughandle
- Fountain of Memes: Let's just say this movie is "very quotable" and leave it at that.
- "Blue Steel" has probably gotten more pop-culture nods than any other joke in the movie.
- "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"
- "What is this, a center for ANTS!?!"
- "Well you can dere-LICT my balls!"
- "You think I don't know what a eugoogoly is?"
- "Hansel is so hot right now!"
- Hollywood Homely: Matilda. (Probably a deliberate joke.)
- Vindicated By History: The film flopped in theaters, having the misfortune to come out a few weekends after 9/11. Over the years, however, it became a hit on home video.
- Serial Numbers Filed Off: Zoolander is basically The Manchurian Candidate and/or Bret Easton Ellis' Glamorama on laughing gas. Whether this is intentional or a coincidence is unconfirmed.
