Take Our Word for It: After Christina and Courtney get Jane unstuck from her lover, the audience doesn't get to see the aftermath of what her lover's penis looks like from being stuck in Jane for who knows how long but based on Christina grimacing at the sight of it is all the audience needs to know.

Noodle Incident: When everyone in Christina's apartment is shocked to learn how Jane and her lover are stuck together during sex, one confused police cop asks how is she stuck. The guy next to him smugly replies "behind her tonsils". The cop then asks him how does he know that, and the look on the man's face not only implies from bad personal experience but is hilarious.

Mistaken for Gay: During their road trip, Christina and Courtney get mistaken to be going down on the other by a biker watching them. Instead of correcting him, Courtney just milks it for all its worth while Christina searches for her lip gloss that fell in the driver's seat.

Refuge in Audacity: Most of the humor in the film relies heavily on this trope, particularly the Penis Song and dance number and how Jane and her boyfriend "fix" their unfortunate situation.

Contrived Coincidence: When Jane goes to the dry cleaners to have Courtney’s dress she loaned get the semen cleaned off it, she runs into her old elementary school teacher, during a field trip to the dry cleaners, and a priest, who has known her since she was a child, and who is having dinner with her parents. Jane feels naturally humiliated in situation.
