Sixteen Candles/YMMV
- Crosses the Line Twice - Unfortunate Implications - The shockingly racist portrayal of Long Duk Dong, whose scenes always open with a stereotypical "Chinese Gong." And that's the least offensive element that John Hughes incorporated into his character.
- Dude, She's Like, in a Coma is eventually sorta averted, but the movie implies a couple of times that there's nothing wrong with screwing unconcious people. First Jake wonders why he doesn't feel like going upstairs to have sex with the unconcious Caroline - it's not because that would be rape, it's just because he isn't into her anymore - and then he lets Ted drive her home, still unconcious, as a favour. Why else would taking a drunk girl home be a fun thing to do?
- As well as the casual throwing around of 'fags' when these days 'sissy' or 'lamer' would be have been used instead for censorship. Never mind that it's still a pretty common insult to get under one's skin quickly in middle and high schools.
- The Woobie: Sam.
