* CriticalDissonance: Like Creator/ChrisFarley and Creator/DavidSpade's last movie, ''Film/TommyBoy'', this movie was poorly received by critics (Creator/GeneSiskel proudly said this was one of only two movies he'd ever walked out on in 26 years of reviewing), but well received by audiences.

** It's not just that; the higher the altitude, the colder and thinner the air gets. Mike would be lucky if he didn't suffocate or wind up being ''frozen to the damn plane...''

* HarsherInHindsight: The following line took on a different tone after the infamous "Mr. Hands" case in Enumclaw, another part of suburban and rural Washington:
-->'''Mike:''' ''(referring to Steve as a psycho from Buckley)'' Butchered 400 chickens and screwed a beagle. I'm taking him back to Nevada where he's wanted for banging horses!

* SpiritualSuccessor: Indeed to ''Film/TommyBoy'' to the point where it could be confused for an actual sequel.

* HilariousInHindsight: The ending scene becomes this when you discover that a similar thing happens in ''Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation'', though played seriously.

* TearJerker: When Mike is fired from his job and is packing away his memorabilia. This is a man who loved what he did, which was making people laugh and be happy, and now that time is over. He even dons an Easter Bunny hat in honor of his past deeds, and there are ''tears'' in his eyes. He never cries out loud, but Mike is in terrible pain over this ordeal and it shows.
** Mike's reaction to Al berating him after the concert. You can tell that besides feeling [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone great shame]] at hurting Al's chances with his antics, he is utterly heartbroken that Al would suggest he did it on purpose.

* FridgeHorror: The ending scene is absolutely hilarious, however, you can't help but think if the passengers ever noticed Mike got stuck on the side of the plane. The thought of him falling from the plane's maximum altitude is unbearable.
