The Other Guys/YMMV
- Acceptable Inevitable Targets: Gamble's cop car is a Prius.
- Non Sequitur Scene: Pimps don't cry.
- Doubles as a Brick Joke when you hear the full version at the end.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Okay... Monday, Monday in a scene of a Prius literally destroying a van. Don't know how that worked but it did.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: in this movie, Will Ferrell is a software expert and The Smart Guy of the pair; in his next movie, he's Megamind.
- This clip from the Oscars a few years back, when Will Ferrell addresses Mark Wahlberg.
- Mark Wahlberg as a police officer Dignam in The Departed says "I'm the guy who does his job, you must be the other guy".
- Mondegreen: Non-lyrical version: some people have misheard Gamble saying "I've always got Little River Band loaded" as "I've always got a little rubber band loaded", especially as he was showing how he could still cause pain with a wooden gun. "Six discs" after than sounds more like ammo than CDs.
- For a more direct version, look no further than
Monday Morning"Monday, Monday" by the Mamas and the Papas.
- For a more direct version, look no further than
- Never Live It Down: Terry once accidentally shot Derek Jeter. This gets brought up a lot.
- This could possibly be Fridge Brilliance. Mark Wahlberg is from Boston, Jeter is basically Mr. Yankee. Connect the dots.
- Shocking Swerve: The death of Johnson's and Jackson's characters. In a movie that's gratuitously over the top, including shooting down an attack chopper with golf balls, the biggest Shyamalanian twist comes when you expect something impossible to happen and it doesn't happen.
- Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: The end credits
- At least one commentator has noted that they don't mention the disparity between what a director or actor makes and what an average studio worker makes.
- Blame a bad union contract for that one. What banks and other corporations are doing is blatant criminality.
- At least one commentator has noted that they don't mention the disparity between what a director or actor makes and what an average studio worker makes.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: So you got The Rock and Sam Jackson as partners. What do you do? You killed them in the first 20 minutes in a blatant Dropped a Bridge on Him manner.
- Of course, that was the entire point.
