* AdultAdoptee: Youngman Grand, within the first ten minutes of the film.



* CorruptingPornography: Discussed. Youngman and Guy Grand briefly discuss getting around censorship of pornographic novels by leaving blank spaces, represented by Youngman playing a clarinet. Guy also suggests doing the same with Literature/TheBible
-->''Youngman Grand'': Panting with desire, Lord Peter ripped open her *toot*, revealing her *toot*, and leaning forward and *toot toot* her.



* Dominatrix: In the engine room scene, a woman is dressed as one, complete with whip. When Youngman and several other characters enter the engine room, she whips one man, who immediately kneels down, pulls his jacket off, and asks her to do it again.



* ManlyGay: The two boxers.



* RepurposedPopSong[=/=]IsntItIronic: At the TurnOfTheMillennium, Pontiac used "Come and Get It" in an ad campaign for sports cars. Beyond the song itself being about ''greed'', apparently, no one who worked on this campaign saw the movie, because if they had they would have known about the parody of cars as a status symbol early on (with Guy Grand presenting the concept of a new luxury car that's ''insanely'' big, ostentatious, and British).
