It seems silly, but this has been driving me crazy. Why, in the opening titles, is the film called "rrrrrRick?" I thought that maybe this was supposed to emulate the way an announcer says someone's name, but is there any significance?

Hmm... I actually asked a friend of mine about this as well, and he told me that his interpretation of it is that "rrrRick" represents either the monotony and impersonal nature of corporate America... or that it has something to do with paralellism (three lower-case letters on either side of the capital R). I'm not sure myself what it means.
shareI thought it was there cause of comedy...
I laughed at it.

This might be a dumb point, but I thought it had to do with the sound an elevator door might make when it opens and closes. The first scene shows Rick, Michelle, and several others in an elevator, and the last scene shows an elevator closing.
I thought the elevator could symbolize trying to get to the "next level" as Buck put it when explaining his business. That was just my interpretation.
Probably because the movie is based on the opera Rigoletto and the Italian way to pronounce that name is to roll the "r" sound.
