- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The entire subplot regarding the nuns could be considered this. As compelling and tragic as it is, it has nothing to with the main Celebrity Impersonator storyline and never intersects, with only very superficial thematic connection between them. It's almost like Harmony Korine wanted to make two completely different movies and decided to smush them into one.
- Narm Charm: The Impersonators' utter despondency at their entire herd of sheep having to be put down could come across as Narm, but it does more to reinforce how fragile and damaged they all are. The folk song "Gallow's Pole" on the soundtrack during that scene also emphasizes the terror of Death that is a major theme of the movie.
- Retroactive Recognition: Yes, the Michael Jackson impersonator is in fact Diego Luna, not long before he struck it big.
- Tear Jerker: The whole film has a rather melancholy feel, but Marilyn's suicide is definitely the worst of the lot.
