* WimpFight: In the second act climax, the wimpy Dr. Cooper and the effete Don Roritor engage in an childish brawl. First, Cooper slaps Roritor's accusatory finger out of his face about twenty times in a row. Finally the pair awkwardly grapple and push each other for a few moments. When they finally break away, they're humorously flustered and gasping for breath, as if they'd been through a war. In a later scene, Roritor wears an outlandish full-arm splint for his injured finger.

After the end of ''TheKidsInTheHall'', there was one last project that the troupe wanted to perform - their own movie.
Released in 1996, it tells the tale of Chris Cooper, a pharmacist who works with his love, Alice, trying to create the world's greatest antidepressant for his employer, Roritor Pharmaceuticals. It also details the lives of several people with massive issues (like death metal musician Grivo and repressed homosexual Wally Terzinsky) who eventually get put on this new antidepressant, [=GLeeMONEX=], when it gets released when Chris pushes it forward to keep from getting fired. And at first, everything is comically okay.

* TheCameo: Brendan Frasier as a drug tester (who knows he's getting the placebo) and Janeane Garofolo.
* GoneHorriblyRight: [=GLeeMONEX=] works by bringing someone's favorite memory to the forefront, enabling them to get past their depression. It eventually causes it to get stuck there... immobilizing folks as they remember their favorite memory in a loop.
* IDrankWhat: Don Roritor just loves the secret ingredient that Marv put into the coffee. Marv refuses to tell [[ToiletHumor what it is]].
