Mistaken for Gay: Jean-Pierre and Didier are mistaken for a couple twice, because Didier (who is actually a dog turned into a man) rubs himself against Jean-Pierre. The first time, skinheads threaten to beat them up for being gay. The second time, passers-by insult them in the park. | |

Mugging the Monster: Some skinheads harass a mixed-race couple (nicknaming them "John and Yoko", as they look like the famous couple) driving a van. Only to find out the van is carrying a bunch of martial artists from the local "Tae Kwon Fu" [sic] club. Cue Neo-Nazis whomping. | |

Tuckerization | |

Tuckerization: Jean-Pierre makes up a Lithuanian name for Didier, Didje Hazanavicius. Michel Hazanavicius (the director of The Artist) worked as a writer for Les Nuls, the comedy group of Alain Chabat. Michel Hazanavicius and his brother Serge play small parts in this film. | |
