Downer Ending | |
| The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The play ends with the whorehouse being shut down, the Sheriff and Mona not getting together (since there is only implied to be a past series of flings between the two) and Mona singing the downer song "One Way Ticket to Nowhere". Thanks to some Executive Meddling, The Movie upgraded it to a Bittersweet Ending, and Mona sings "I Will Always Love You" (yes, the first instance of this song appearing on film) instead. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Thorpe is introduced talking about how he fights for "truth in advertising"...while putting on a girdle, shoulderpads, and a sock. He also mentions being originally from New Jersey despite his Southern drawl. | |
