* ProductionPosse: The films he makes at Happy Madison can have a lower cast/crew turnaround than a [[Creator/TheCoenBrothers Coen Brothers]] movie. For instance, he has a history of working with director Dennis Dugan and Peter Segal and actors Creator/DavidSpade, Rob Schneider, Nick Swardson, Creator/ChrisRock, Kevin James, Creator/ChrisFarley (before his death), Creator/SteveBuscemi, Kevin Nealon, and Tim Meadows. Also, if you ever see Peter Dante, Allen Covert and Jonathan Loughran (especially the former two), you can bet the film is a Happy Madison Production. He's also done three romantic comedies opposite Creator/DrewBarrymore.

* GenderBender: He's been known to do this a lot. Sometimes it works ([[Series/SaturdayNightLive The GAP girls]], several of his album sketches), and other times not to much (''Film/JackAndJill'' won him a UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward for Worst ''Actress'').

* NiceGuy: Adam Sandler seems to be a nice, sweet, friendly person in real life who many people seem to love working with. During production on ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights'', he made an effort to know the name of every member of the animation staff and even asked about their families. In his "Questions Song", Creator/ThomasFWilson ([[Franchise/BackToTheFuture a classic example of this trope himself]]) said Adam was "the nicest famous guy [I] know" (though later performances of the song change his answer to Creator/MattDamon.

After several years as a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' writer and cast member (from 1990 to 1995[[note]]That's from the middle of season 16 to the end of season 20. During those years, he, along with Creator/RobSchneider, David Spade, and Chris Farley, were known as "The Bad Boys of SNL" due to their penchant for gross, crass humor, which a lot of critics hated about ''Saturday Night Live'' during the early to mid-1990s[[/note]]), he went on to star in several Hollywood feature films that grossed over 4.8 billion USD at the worldwide box office and remains as a major box office draw. He is best known for his comedic roles, though he has [[TomHanksSyndrome ventured into more dramatic territory]].

* AlliterativeName: Sandler's love interests tend to have this, especially with the letter "V". There's Veronica Vaughn (''Film/BillyMadison''), Virginia Venit (''Film/HappyGilmore''), Vicky Valencourt (''Film/TheWaterbot''), Valerie Veran (''Film/LittleNicky''), Lena Leonard (''Film/PunchDrunkLove''), Babe Bennet (''Film/MrDeeds''), Mary McGarrigle (''Film/ThatsMyBoy''), Lady Lisa (''Film/{{Pixels}}''), Courtney Clarke (''Film/SandyWexler''), and Violet Valentine (''Film/HubieHalloween''). If his fake husband from ''Film/INowPronounceYouChuckAndLarry'' took his last name, he would be Lawrence Levine.

* AcceptableTargets: A lot of his early work targets people who were considered acceptable targets at the time. To some people. Fat people. Poor people. Queer people.
