Dirty Old Man | |
| Larry Crowne / int_267ce120 | comment |
Dirty Old Man: Subverted. After seeing Larry and Talia together, Mercedes thinks his whole reason to go to college is to "find a gal who has a thing for papa bear." | |

Bland-Name Product | |
| Larry Crowne / int_2b5ea43c | comment |
Bland-Name Product: Larry's job in the beginning of the film is at a store called U-Mart (an obvious reference to K-Mart) and looks like your average Target. | |

Black and Nerdy | |
| Larry Crowne / int_38958f33 | comment |
Black and Nerdy: Dave, one of the students in Mercedes's class, who gives a talk about the difference between the original Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation...while dressed up in a Next Generation-style uniform. He is mortally offended when Mercedes confuses Star Trek and Star Wars. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl | |
| Larry Crowne / int_46290b93 | comment |
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: A subversion. Talia initially seems to be set up for this role, but she never becomes Larry's love interest. In fact, she turns out to be a pretty astute entrepreneur, who respects Larry's grasp of economics. Lampshaded by Mercedes and Dell, who keep expecting this trope to manifest. | |

Sustained Misunderstanding | |
| Larry Crowne / int_46d7e20a | comment |
Sustained Misunderstanding: The next class after Miss Tainot gets the incorrect idea that Larry is a Dirty Old Man who managed to start a May–December Romance with Talia, she makes him give a 2-minute pop dissertation on Interior Design. He freely admits he doesn't know a thing on the subject, but he says "[he doesn't] have to because [he knows] this girl who does" and goes to describe what he learned from watching her redecorating his place from to top to bottom. To Mercedes, however, his whole story sounds like Larry telling them how his life changed after he and Talia moved in together, simmering deeper and deeper in Tranquil Fury until him mentioning how she complained that his bed was too hard almost pushes her pass the Rage-Breaking Point, forcing the teacher to interrupt his speech before the 90-second mark. | |

Credits Gag | |
| Larry Crowne / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: The credits end with all the company and union credits, and then the Chinese characters Talia had tattooed on her back, and the confirmation that they really do mean "soy sauce". | |

Buxom Beauty Standard | |
| Larry Crowne / int_7b3ebb57 | comment |
Buxom Beauty Standard: As far as Mercedes' husband Dean is concerned. He loves women with large breasts, spending a lot of his day on the computer looking at nude or semi-nude photos with them, to her annoyance. His snide comment that she's jealous as a result of her having small breasts is her last straw, ordering him to get out of the car and dumping Dean. | |

Embarrassing Tattoo: Talia gets a free tattoo when she starts her shop next to a tattoo parlor. It supposedly means "courageous spirit" but apparently actually reads "soy sauce". | |
