Zack and Miri Make a Porno/YMMV
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Live's "Hold Me Up" during the pivotal scene. The music climaxes just as...well...you get the idea.
- Climax Blues Band's "I Love You" at the end. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny: While the film was fairly well-reviewed overall, many critics claimed that this trope applied to Kevin Smith's style as a whole, and that Judd Apatow and his Production Posse now do this type of film far better than Smith himself ever did.
- Squick: "That chick frosted me like I was a fucking cake!" Poor, poor Deacon.
