i like how the banker vs the farmer cliche is reversed


it took me a couple times watching the film to catch it.

Totally! The line, "you will never grow one ear of your filthy corn here!", kills me every time.

I also love how they made fun of one of the more annoying cliches of when someone asks a character his name, he looks around the room for a hint of what he could make his fake name be. As if coming up with something like David Owens, for example, is so freaking hard.

Nelson: "My name is...Jones...Mr. Enema Bag Jones"

Dr. Helen Harris: "That's not your name, you're simply lying to me."

Nelson: "Right. Sorry. My real name is Harris...Dr. Helen Harris."

Dr. Helen Harris: "No, that's my name."

But it seems like making fun of that cliche is actually becoming a cliche itself. There is no such thing as "small doses" in the entertainment industry, I guess. Peter Griffin from Family Guy does the same thing, and comes up with his real name by mistake.
