* BrutalHonesty: The "truth game" that Robert proposes at Larry's rent party is meant to be an example. Robert himself confronts an artist friend with allegations that he's repeating himself, while his torch-carrying friend Connie starts in on Robert's womanizing ways before the game is interrupted by Larry's visiting parents.
* DoWrongRight: A cop at the el station where Larry is blowing off some steam in the middle of the night tells him he's keeping the neighbors up. He also critiques Larry's impressions.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Connie could be seen as a RareFemaleExample towards Robert. She gives him plenty of opportunities and is there when he actually does propose a tryst near the movie's end, but doesn't object to him seducing other women left and right while mostly ignoring her feelings for him.
* JewishMother: Larry's mother Fay is an archetypical example: loving, overprotective, guilt-inducing, and emotional in a way that makes her the center of attention. Larry has an imagine spot where he sees her wowing his acting class with song and dance.
* NoSocialSkills: Clive Baxter, Goldblum's actor character, is a smooth talker, but his aggressiveness repeatedly gets him stalled in or kicked out of auditions and screen tests.
