| Hot Tub Time Machine | comment |
A 2010 comedy film directed by Steve Pink (also known for doing Accepted) that features an ensemble cast including John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson and Clark Duke.Friends Adam (Cusack), Lou (Corddry), and Nick (Robinson), along with Adam's nephew Jacob (Clark Duke), take a trip to a ski resort where Adam, Lou and Nick used to hang out to relive good times after Lou attempts suicide. However, while getting drunk in a hot tub, Lou spills some Chernobly (a type of Russian Red Bull) onto the hot tub controls, turning it into a time machine. The hot tub sends the four back to 1986, where Adam, Lou and Nick have regained their youth and replaced their 1986 selves. (Jacob, for some reason, is not a zygote. This goes unexplained, though he occasionally goes static like a television image with poor reception.)A hot-tub repairman (Chevy Chase), who may or may not be Mr. Exposition, occasionally drops by to have Cryptic Conversations about how to return to 2010 and the consequences of changing the past. This, however, doesn't stop the three from trying, much to the dismay of Jacob, who feels that their actions may put his very existence in jeopardy via the Butterfly Effect.The last film to be distributed by MGM before its bankruptcy and reorganization as a pure producer and co-funder as well as the last film credited by United Artists until Annapurna and MGM revived the brand in 2019. A sequel was released on February 20, 2015, and takes place 10 years in the future. | |

"Mister Sandman" Sequence | |
| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_1078bba8 | comment |

| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: Depending on which trailer you saw, one of them shows Lou aboard the huge yacht he bought himself after inventing Lougle, therefore spoiling the fact that he stays in the past. Another trailer showed Jacob seeing his mother in 1986, and then shows her in bed with Lou saying "I feel pregnant". | |

Never Trust a Trailer: Nick's best line in the trailer, re: his fetish for The Golden Girls, isn't in the movie. In a trailer for the sequel, Lou getting shot in the groin is used as a joke. It becomes the driving force for the movie. | |

Chronic Evidence Retention Syndrome | |
| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_1bbe87f7 | comment |
Chronic Evidence Retention Syndrome: Adam keeps a box marked "Cincinnati" in his closet, which is apparently evidence of a shameful and shocking Noodle Incident. His friends are horrified that he'd not only keep whatever is inside the box, but plainly mark it "Cincinnati." Adam protests that he can't just throw something like that away, and he had to mark it so he'd know which box it's in. | |

The Slow Path | |
| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_1c7a7a52 | comment |
The Slow Path: Lou stays behind in the past because his life in the original time line sucked. He uses the opportunity to make better decisions, and uses his knowledge of the future to become very rich. It's played with, though, because his physical age remains the same—his mind from the present had traveled back to inhabit his younger self. | |

A Little Something We Call "Rock and Roll": It's hip-hop instead of rock, but Nick, after performing his cover of Rick Springfield's "Jesse's Girl", wows the audience of 1986 with his rendition of "Let's Get it Started" by Black Eyed Peas. | |

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Lou is as bald as the actor who plays him — Rob Corddry. When they first arrive in the past he goes to take a piss and catches sight of himself in the mirror. He's so in awe of his own former glory that he doesn't even stop pissing as he turns to stare in dumbfounded wonder. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: One scene features the line: "I want my two dollars!" which is a reference to Better Off Dead, one of John Cusack's earliest films (which also took place at a ski resort). On seeing all the drugs in Adam's suitcase, Jacob says "What are you, Hunter S. Thompson?" to which Adam replies, "I thought I was." John Cusack was close friends with Thompson, and attended his funeral. On a more meta note, Cusack had also campaigned for the role of the Thompson equivalent in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a role that eventually went to Johnny Depp. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Mötley Crüe's "Home Sweet Home" was already released in 1985; a year before it would have been possible for Lou to create the song. A poster for Rambo III is seen on Blane's bedroom wall, despite the film being set over two years before Rambo III was released in May of 1988. Poison performing at Kodiak Valley is seen as a big deal and April is covering the band for Spin Magazine, but in 1986 Poison had not yet achieved mainstream fame (that wouldn't happen until 1987). Blaine references 21 Jump Street when he's arguing that the mains are Commie spies, but that didn't debut until 1987. The first time Blaine and Chaz see Jacob, they act as though they've never seen a snowboard before and don't know what it is. Snowboarding has existed as a sport as far back as the 1970s, although in 1986 it was still a niche sport and most ski areas did not allow snowboarders. Still, the ski patrol personnel at Kodiak Valley would definitely know what a snowboard was. The Denver Broncos' game winning drive in the AFC Championship game is lampooned despite it taking place in 1987. Adam references "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses. Appetite For Destruction didn't come out until 1987, and the song itself wasn't released as a single until 1988. Downplayed with the "What color is Michael Jackson?" bit. By 1986, Jackson's skin was already several shades lighter due to his vitiligo having spread over most of his face and body. Though he would retain a mostly tan complexion until the early 1990s. | |

The Obi-Wannabe: The mysterious repairman delivers lots of cryptic and ominous-sounding warnings, from which the gang infers that doing anything differently will screw up the timeline in unpredictable ways (like a vomit-covered squirrel changing the outcome of a pro-football game). They end up defying him, and it turns out to be largely BS as Lou stays in the past to redo his life and makes his life infinitely better by the present day. | |

Nostalgia Filter: At first Adam can't remember why he broke up with his old girlfriend, Jenny, and because he only recalls good things about her he believes that he made a huge mistake by dumping her. Once we actually meet her in the past and find out how shallow and crazy she is, it's not hard to see why Adam dumped her. But he was still unhappy with the whole situation. This applies to the entire pack. They reminiscent their '86 stay in Kodiak Valley as the best weekend they ever had together. But it turns out Adam ended up with a messy and painful aftermath of breaking up with Jenny, Nick's performance in the club was him badly covering "Never Dance Again" with everyone booing and worst of it all, Lou was not only left alone by his friends in the moment he needed them most, but was contemplating suicide for the first time. But since so many years have passed and they were originally piss-drunk most of the time, they only have a very vague recollection of how things played out. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball | |

Timey-Wimey Ball: The film is really inconsistent with its time travel mechanics. Four friends travel back to one day in 1986 and hijack their younger bodies, so everyone sees them as their younger selves. Except one of the friends — Jacob — wasn't born yet and looks the same in the past as he did in the present, and can also interact with the past, but whenever something happens that might possibly stop his conception he flickers out temporarily. Initially the friends, fearing the Butterfly of Doom, try to enact a Stable Time Loop by making sure the big events they remember from that night still happen, but then they change their minds and try to make sure the night goes better the second time around. Some of the big events they remember still happen no matter what they do, but no in the way they remember them. Other events they really do alter. Meanwhile they directly or indirectly cause a couple of historical changes. In the end Lou decides to stay behind and use his knowledge of the future to greatly improve his and everyone's lives. When the other three friends get back they all have much better lives but do not remember them. | |

His nonstop obnoxious Jerkass streak and overall sociopathic, self-destructive tendencies that often put him and his friends in peril led the rest of the gang to greatly despise him despite still choosing to hang around him. Even his own son and wife, as seen in the sequel, if Lou continued his ways, would find him to be a "virus" and want nothing to do with him. | |

Fight Fur Your Right to Party: A music-driven montage showing the main characters enjoying the titular hot tub while getting hammered. At some point the increasingly fragmented and spinning shots start showing a guy in a large bear suit partying with them. | |

Invaded States of America: Discussed. Blaine's gang thinks that the time traveling main characters are actually Soviet spies, due to their odd behavior, and the modern-day gadgets that he found in their bags. He mentions the film Red Dawn (1984), which he owns a poster of in his room. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |
| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Jenny stabbing Adam in the eye for breaking up with her is treated fairly trivially. Despite knowing what she did, Adam and his friends still think he shouldn't have broken up with her, and when Adam does get angry at her, it’s for her hypocrisy for getting mad at him when she was going to break up with him anyway, not for being violent in the first place. Not once does anyone comment that stabbing someone in the eye is a despicable, abusive act. | |

And Starring: The film buries an "and introducing William Zabka"note as Rick, though not noted after the cast list in the end crawl, presumably as a joke note Zabka's first of many screen roles was in the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid, slightly before the 1986 setting of this film. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A very subtle one to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's squirrels instead of mice, but there's clearly more than meets the eye going on with them. Also, while Adam is talking with the Manic Pixie Dream Girl in the house they broke into, a quick "Okay, so you're a Time Lord, and this hot tub is your space ship". This scene is also framed like the final scene of Sixteen Candles. "I want my two dollars!" is a reference to John Cusack's early film Better Off Dead. (It’s even mentioned as a DVD subtitle). When Lou finally snaps and beats up Blaine it's an obvious (shot-for-shot and punch-for-punch) reference to a similar scene in A Christmas Story. And just before that happens, someone in the room shouts "Get a body bag!" | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| Hot Tub Time Machine / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The film repeatedly draws attention to this trope and straddles a strange line between playing it straight and parodying it in the character of the Hot Tub repair man, who may just be a cloudcuckoolander repair man, or may be some sort of Time Police setting the time travelers on their way. Jacob even lampshades it, by noting that the repairman's words perfectly support either theory, and asks if it would kill the repairman to just give him a straight answer. | |
