No Celebrities Were Harmed
 Airheads / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Rex, the bass player for the Lone Rangers, is based on Rex Brown, the bass player for Pantera: They share a name, they play the same instrument, and they even have similar hairstyles and goatees. Doug Beech also has a striking resemblance to Groucho Marx in terms of hair style, mustache, glasses and suit. Although this may just be a coincidence.

Mirror Routine: When Pip first leaves the radio station, he encounters a police officer, and they perform the basic routine. Pip tries to throw off the cop with some kind of dance move, but the officer reaches for his gun, causing the inept rocker to flee.

The Cameo
 Airheads / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: White Zombie perform their song, "Feed the Gods", in the "Whiskey-A-Go-Go" concert scene. Mike Judge voices his characters Beavis and Butt-Head though a telephone. Motörhead's Lemmy appears among the crowd, saying "I was editor of the school magazine!" when Chazz was revealed to be an ex-geek. The Howard Stern Show's Stuttering John Melendez appears as the rocker who used to masturbate constantly. Harold Ramis shows up as a record executive trying to get into the seized radio station. He gets asked the immortal question "Whose side did you take: Van Halen or Roth?" He goes with Van Halen, and the band immediately tags him as a cop... which proves correct when he's seen later wearing a badge and carrying a sidearm. Even better, he invokes Executive Meddling when referencing Van Hagar and it ALMOST works, since a record executive WOULD have that perspective ("They sold a lot of records after Roth left!"). MTV's Kurt Loder appears as himself, reporting on the hostage crisis, and also wondering how one pluralizes "The Lone Ranger".

The Cynic: At the start of the film, Ian believes that modern rock has nothing to offer compared to the rock music of the 60s and 70s. But after being held hostage and seeing how passionate Chazz is about his music, Ian begins to once again believe in rock and roll.

Chekhov's Gun
 Airheads / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: The giant baby bottle, asked for as part of the crazy demands, is used to subdue armed accountant Doug Beech. Rex likes to fill his squirt guns with tabasco, in case some "Hollywood Boulevard trash" messes with him. This comes up later, when Chazz needs to season a burrito and Milo gets uppity. During their ingress into the building, the guys take advantage of the fact that the steel exterior doors have automatic closers. This bites them in the ass when the front door later automatically closes on one of their fake guns with enough force to crush it.

Ironic Echo: Early in the film, Chazz tries to pacify an angry Kayla by bringing up a song that he wrote for her, but it backfires when she points out that he wrote the song before they even met. Later in the film, Kayla tries to get Chazz to admit he loves her by bringing up the song that he allegedly wrote for her, but Chazz immediately points out that he wrote it before he met her.

Rex being called "Hollywood Boulevard trash" by station manager Milo is what causes the situation to degenerate from mere trespassing to hostage taking. A little earlier in the film Rex had mentioned using the hot sauce-filled squirt guns against "Hollywood Boulevard trash", so he did not like being called it himself.

"Die Hard" on an X
 Airheads / int_353f2b06
comment
"Die Hard" on an X: It's Die Hard, in a radio station, as a comedy! Bonus points for the station being located next to Nakatomi Plaza. A bit of a variant in that this is a subplot, the "[McClane]" of the situation is a completely useless moron, and the cop that gives him support is the "go in, shoot them all and let God sort 'em out" Smug Snake instead of the Reasonable Authority Figure. Oh, and the hostage takers are the protagonists.

The man is pummeled, goes through severely painful pratfalls, is set on fire, and is humiliated by everything and everybody from the word "go" (He doesn't appear again after getting the MP-5 taken from him, but it's easy to assume he was still stuck in the air vents by the time the Time Skip happened).

Later, the entire band gets one after Wing talks Chazz into the contract when they learn that the contract is contingent on lip-syncing in public. They proceed to smash up the place and incite a riot.

Fictional Counterpart: KPPX 103.3 Rebel Radio was loosely based on the now-defunct Los Angeles radio station KNAC 105.5 (Pure Rock), which had a hard rock/heavy metal format, and even used "if it's too loud, you're too old" (which is said by Ian at one point) as a slogan. KNAC 105.5 went off the air six months after Airheads was released to theaters, being replaced by Spanish-language radio station KBUE (Que Buena).

Heel–Face Turn: The aging DJ Ian, played by Joe Mantegna, is at first none too thrilled to being taken hostage. But as he talks with Chazz about rock music, it re-ignites his passion for rock music, he bonds with the band and starts to give them advice on how to proceed. By the time Ian finds out Milo is firing the staff and switching the station to Easy Listening, he's completely in the band's corner. And at the end of the film, it appears that he's no longer a radio DJ and is instead working as The Lone Rangers' manager/agent.

Celebrity Paradox: In order to sniff out if the "record executive" that is trying to enter the station in one scene is actually an undercover cop, the Rangers ask him "who would win in a fight, Lemmy or God?" (Answer: trick question — Lemmy is God). Lemmy appears in a cameo in a crowd scene later apparently as a random rocker.

Berserk Button: Don't mention pool cleaning gear around the SWAT leader. Don't rip off Officer Wilson's badge. You'll just give him ideas. Rex being called "Hollywood Boulevard trash" by station manager Milo is what causes the situation to degenerate from mere trespassing to hostage taking. A little earlier in the film Rex had mentioned using the hot sauce-filled squirt guns against "Hollywood Boulevard trash", so he did not like being called it himself. Milo freaks out when he walks in on Pip and Suzzi having sex on his expensive $1400 leather couch.

Shout-Out: The ending where the Lone Rangers rock in jail is just like The Blues Brothers. When addressing the crowd of rockers assembled outside of Rebel Radio, Chazz declares "They've got the guns, but we've got the numbers." This is a line from the song "Five to One" by The Doors. Jimmy Wing works for Palatine Records. This is the same fictional record company that Christopher Walken's character worked for in Wayne's World 2.

Can Always Spot a Cop: A record executive knocks on the doors asking to be let in to make a deal with the protagonists. They ask him which side he took in the Van Halen/David Lee Roth split. The executive says Van Halen and everyone, even the hostages, out him as a cop for such a stupid answer. They give him another shot by asking who would win in a fight, Lemmy or God. He says Lemmy, which is wrong, then God, also wrong. The answer: Lemmy is God. They send him packing, and he is later shown with the cops wearing a badge.

Trust Password: As part of a quiz to determine if a supposed record executive is legit, Chazz asks "Whose side did you take in the Van Halen/David Lee Roth split? Van Halen or Roth?", the right answer being Roth. After he incorrectly answers, Chazz gives him one more chance, asking "Who would win a wrestling match: Lemmy or God?", the right answer being "Trick question. Lemmy IS God.".

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Milo wants to change Rebel Radio into an easy-listening station and doesn't even bother to give any advanced warning that he will do this—which will mean firing a lot of people, including the DJs and the secretary he's having sex with because she wants to keep her job. Jimmy Wing is a record executive jackass who enforces irritating control over his talent like lip-synching during concerts, talks mostly in Blatant Lies, and only cares about singers in terms of how much money he can squeeze out of them before he burns them out and not their actual talent.

Crash-Into Hello: How Pip and Suzzi first meet. Pip is trying to open the back door, when it suddenly opens and he gets knocked down by Suzzi, who was stepping outside to smoke a cigarette. She goes back inside and gives Pip a bag of ice, and after she leaves, Chazz drops his bag to keep it from closing, and they sneak into the station.

Rex likes to fill his squirt guns with tabasco, in case some "Hollywood Boulevard trash" messes with him. This comes up later, when Chazz needs to season a burrito and Milo gets uppity.

Only Useful as Toilet Paper: A disgruntled band is holding a radio station hostage, and one of their demands is a record contract. Once they get one, the leader realizes the terms are pretty poor and shows his displeasure by wiping his ass with the contract.

Closet Geek: Chazz was a raging dork back in school. His public admission, followed by the crowd's acceptance, is a touching moment.

My Little Panzer: The toy guns are stated to have been recalled because they looked too realistic, and Rex managed to grab a couple before they got removed from his toy store.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: After the reel-to-reel tape of the Lone Rangers' demo is accidentally destroyed, Ian tries to talk Chazz into surrendering to the police by pointing out that the building is surrounded and the reason they broke in is no longer viable. But Chazz instead comes up with the idea of getting the cassette copy of the demo from Kayla.

Brick Joke

comment
Brick Joke: see Non-Indicative Name. One of the deliberately weird demands that the Lone Rangers make to the police is for "naked pictures of Bea Arthur!" Much later in the film, when Jimmie Wing comes to the radio station, he passes a couple of people staring in combined awe and bafflement at some pictures that we can't see. Jimmie peers at them and says "Bea Arthur? Outstanding!" Another demand is for football helmets filled with cottage cheese. It a blink-and-you'll-miss it sight gag, during one of the scenes with the cops, you can see them filling said helmets from big tubs of cottage cheese.
