- Buscemi’s scumbag roles, Carl’s sexual habits, funny-looking descriptions and escort date at a José Feliciano concert are aged-best choices.
- The score and Marge/Norm’s domestic eating-and-bed scenes are aged-best choices, with the buffet and delivered lunch prompting discussion of intimacy and excessive food.
- The wealthy father-in-law and unsuccessful son-in-law relationship ages well, especially Wade’s assurance that Jean and Scotty will be provided for.
- The Minnesota detail and TruCoat negotiation age well; the scene is described as based on Ethan Coen’s dealership experience.
- Regional phrases and phone etiquette age well. Carl’s origin is debated, with Midwest cities proposed rather than a definite hometown.
