- Playing Puff the Magic Dragon on cassette during an ordinary drive is strange even for 2000.
- Giving a guest a basement room whose toilet cannot be flushed is inhospitable and leaves an obvious practical problem.
- Lighting a cigarette while retrieving a cat from an in-law’s roof seems an extreme and unnecessary expression of nicotine dependence.
- A wedding only two weeks after the engagement is implausibly fast.
- Greg intends to propose after ten months without meeting Pam’s highly involved parents.
- Children would not reliably keep the planned proposal secret.
- Making Greg an usher immediately after meeting and belittling him is odd.
- Greg should buy basic clothes instead of borrowing family underwear; his spending elsewhere shows he can afford it.
- The toilet should be repaired or labeled; interpreting it as Jack’s deliberate boyfriend test is speculative.
- Painting the substitute cat’s tail is indefensible.
- The volleyball victim does not raise her hands, and the quantity of blood seems excessive for the injury later shown.
- The much taller Rebhorn should defend the net rather than Stiller.
