* AnAesop: Watch your health, at least for the sake of your loved ones.

** Shane calling out Frank's selfishness, unhealthy lifestyle, and contributing role in Maggie's death may have been justified, but when Frank is dying at the hospital, she frantically takes it all back, afraid it will be the last thing she ever said to him.

** Well, while Frank's death wouldn't even make a dent in our society, for the ''cells'' that live in Frank it'd be the equivalent of Planetary Total Extinction, maybe Planetary Physical Annihilation depending on what the doctors choose to do with his body afterward.

* VillainousBreakdown:
** Thrax has a subtle one during the final confrontation on Shane's eye. His normally slick dreadlocks fall out of place, his voice gets rougher, and his EvilLaugh gets a lot more disturbing.

2001's ''Osmosis Jones'' is a hybrid live action-animated [[BuddyCopShow Buddy Cop Movie]] featuring Creator/ChrisRock and Creator/DavidHydePierce. The two are paired up to stop a nasty criminal (played by Creator/LaurenceFishburne) from destroying the city of Frank, hindered by the self-centered mayor Phlegmming (Creator/WilliamShatner), whose assistant (R&B singer {{Music/Brandy}}) is the main love interest.

Osmosis Jones (Creator/ChrisRock) is a white blood cell cop who lost his reputation after a nasty incident that ruined Frank [=DeTorre=] (the human this movie takes place in, played by Creator/BillMurray) out in the real world. Frank eats a contaminated egg that carried a deadly virus by the name of Thrax (Creator/LaurenceFishburne), whose goal is to kill Frank within 48 hours.

After Thrax starts doing some damage, Jones is paired up with a cold pill named Drix (Creator/DavidHydePierce). The two clash frequently, as most new cop partners do in movies, until Drix sees Thrax himself, and takes Ozzy's side.

* StrangeMindsLikeThinkAlike: It seems that neither Osmosis or Phlegmming know what a hypothalamus gland is, when it is by Thrax and Leah that they ask in confused tone.

** Ironically, even ''Bob'' has better standards than Mayor Phlegmming when it comes to Frank's well-being. Bear in mind, this is the same guy who's idea of drinking fluids is "drowning a cold" with ''beer''. But on their way to Buffalo, Bob notices Frank growing delirious and feverish. Through Frank, the Mayor tries to convince Bob he's just fine, only to find that Frank is too far gone to even speak. Bob immediately calls off their trip to Buffalo.

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
-->'''Osmosis:''' What you talkin' 'bout? I'm a legend, girl! Chicks line up to divide with me!\\
'''Leah:''' Oh, really? Because to me, you look like the kind of cell who mostly divides with himself.

'''Thrax:''' (''scowls'') "Ebola"? Let me tell you something about ''Ebola'', baby. [[SuddenlyShouting EBOLA IS A CASE OF ''DANDRUFF'' COMPARED TO ME!]]

* NotWearingPantsDream: Frank has a recurring one, and its implied to have happened so many times that he's not even phased by it anymore.

** Somehow an ill man who ate a bad oyster and throws up on a teacher becomes a huge story, so huge that Frank lost his job and the teacher's daughter had to transfer schools.

** Also, the dancers in the Zit nightclub. They were bikinis and are modeled after strippers, but the way they are portrayed (eyeball in the bellybutton, two rods in place of a head, etc) is intended to be weird rather than arousing.

** Frank. Eating raw, polluted oysters; eating an egg dropped in a filthy monkey cage, where not even the ten second or even the ONE second rule should apply--especially since THE EGG HAD ALSO BEEN IN THE MONKEY'S MOUTH. All his knowledge goes to promoting his laziness or retaining sports statistics.
*** Well, considering that Mayor Phlegmming has been running his brain...

* JerkassHasAPoint: Ozzy's CowboyCop approach to curbing crime always seems to make things worse, and the chief frequently and rightfully calls him out for it.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Most cells have a limited variant of this--for instance, when Osmosis wants to fit in with a looser crowd, he makes himself one-eyed. Drix ''cannot'' do this, so he winds up using a [[HumanPopsicle small frozen cell]] as a NiceHat.
