History YMMV / TheHangover

** It's pretty obvious a lot of her and Teddy's character development was left on the cutting room floor. For example, he seems fairly unbothered by losing a finger despite being on the surgical track at a major medical school, which makes one wonder if there wasn't a CallingTheOldManOut moment he didn't get in favor of Stu. Also, a few lines of hers seem to hint that part of the reason she likes Stu is that her father absolutely hates his guts.

* CompleteMonster: Melissa, who physically and verbally abuses Stu, and also cheats on him. You know she's pretty bad when even a hooker is a better choice for Stu than her.

* YourMileageMayVary: Regarding Phil's treatment of the animals in the movie; specifically his [[spoiler:abuse of the tiger]] and violently slapping away the chicken as he searches their villa. Note however that the animal "actors" themselves were not mistreated on the set of the movie during shooting; The American Humane Association [[http://www.ahafilm.info/movies/mr.phtml?fid=8029 monitored the filming]] and gave the filmmakers an "outstanding" approval rating for their careful treatment of animals.
** Jim Henson's Creature Shop created an animatronic tiger for the film.
** Casting Mike Tyson - a convicted rapist, in a comedy film

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: "Roofalin." It may be an intentional joke, but it's never addressed in the movie itself, so it's hard to say.

** Jim Henson's Creature Shop created an animatronic tiger for the film.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The soundtrack has some of the best hip-hop ever assembled for a movie that does not specifically revolve around hip-hop.

** As with all hip-hop, YourMileageMayVary.

* EarWorm: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JkG4Dt-ELo&feature=related Candy Shop]]'' by The Dan Band.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the sequel, Tyson tells Stu that he should have his tattoo removed. Considering the FrivolousLawsuit over that same tattoo that nearly caused the film's delay, this also doubles as a retroactive FunnyAneurysmMoment.
* InsaneTrollLogic: The reasoning behind a FrivolousLawsuit a month before the release of ''The Hangover: Part II'' - S. Victor Whitmill, the tattoo artist who worked on Mike Tyson's face tattoo, claims that Stu getting that same tattoo whilst drunk infringes on his copyright of the tattoo's design and the film should be banned as a result. This is ''despite'' Mike Tyson appearing in the film. While the courts found this reasoning to be quite sane, they decided to bow to public interest, and the film will indeed open as scheduled.

This is ''despite'' Mike Tyson appearing in the film. Appparently, the courts saw this reasoning as insane and coming from a troll as well; the case was dismissed on May 24, meaning the film will indeed open as scheduled on May 26.

* WhatAnIdiot: ''Part II'' is being sued for copyright infringement ''over a tattoo''. This is the [[TheDukesOfHazzard third]] [[Film/{{Watchmen}} time]] in several years this has happened to Warner. You'd think they'd have learned by now...

** The scene where Stu ''[[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing finally]]'' breaks up with Melissa - Phil's expression as he sees this is almost like that of a proud father, whilst Doug & Tracy are grinning & hugging Stu once it happens.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Stu's "What Do Tigers Dream Of?" musical number.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: A cop (played by six-and-a-half foot tall [[strike: former]] Marine, Rob Riggle) kicking in the door, pointing a gun, and screaming "SHUT THAT BABY UP!"

** Alan getting KO'd by Mike Tyson and not dying is a close second. That guy's head is indestructable.
*** Don't forget being hit in the head with a crowbar by Mr. Chow.
*** And him getting slammed in the head by a car door. Must be MadeOfIron.
** Also him being super [[TheStoic stoic]] in the blackjack game. The random numbers and formulae that appear adds the WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome value too.

** Don't forget Stu's CMOA when [[spoiler:he breaks up with his bitchy girlfriend at Doug's wedding. His best line has to be, "Since you fucked that waiter on your cruise last June! BOOM!"]] Since quoting it doesn't do it justice, you can listen [[http://www.entertonement.com/clips/ykkyqwvytz--I-went-to-Vegas here.]]

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Too many to mention, but Mike Tyson trying to sing "In The Air Tonight" has to be up there. His reaction to finding out that the guys drove up to his house in a stolen cop car? ''[[spoiler:"NICE!"]]''
** Mr Chow [[spoiler: pops out of the car boot, naked, attacking the main characters.]]
*** "Too-ta-loo Mutha fuckaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah!"
** "I didn't know they gave out rings during the Holocaust."
** "It's funny because he's fat." Also an example of [=~Don't Explain The Joke~=].
** Alan's loner speech.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Bit of a stretch, but the whole premise in a way. Most of these guys have definite JerkAss tendencies, but they'll go to some pretty extraordinary lengths to find their friend.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The soundtrack has some of the best hip-hop ever assembled for a movie that does not specifically revolve around hip-hop.

** 'What do Tigers dream of when they take a little Tiger snooze?' It's beautiful.

* DudeNotFunny: Tyson's reaction to the security footage of Phil dry-humping the tiger.
* EarWorm: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JkG4Dt-ELo&feature=related Candy Shop]]'' by The Dan Band.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mr. Chow is certainly one. He OWNS the movie any time he's on screen.
** The Dan Band has certainly gotten a good many fans from this film. Doubles as a OneSceneWonder.
* {{Squick}}: While the credits is one big CrowningMomentOfFunny as a whole, there are a couple of pictures that'll make viewers want to vomit.
* TheWoobie: Alan is this at some points. Especially when he starts singing "We're the three best friends that anyone could have!"

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Alan.
** Mr. Chow is certainly one, too. He OWNS the movie any time he's on screen.
