  • Adorkable: What Calli thinks about Nathaniel after he attempts to answer her riddles with logic and the proper use of high society manners, as well as being the standard Upper-Class Twit.
  • Cult Classic: Panned at release, the film gradually found an audience that appreciated its offbeat brand of humor, and is now generally well-regarded by comedy fans.
  • Director Displacement: Tim Burton co-produced the film, but due to his commitment to Ed Wood, Adam Resnick directed.
  • One-Scene Wonder: David Letterman's sole movie appearance as a stuffed monkey salesman.
  • Vindicated by History: A critical and commercial bomb at its release, it has since grown into a Cult Classic and is often regarded as being a pioneer of the brand of anti-comedy that would go on to become popularized by comedians such as Tim & Eric in the mid-2000s.
