| Language | A young girl calls her acting rival a "queer." As an up-and-coming young performer, the lead character performs a bawdy German cabaret song about breasts called "Otto Titsling." In the song, Otto invents the "over the shoulder boulder holder," but a greedy Frenchman with the surname D'Brassiere steals the invention and gets the credit. "Bitch." "A--hole." "Crappy." "F--k." |
| Consumerism | An advertisement for Allstate Insurance is prominent on the roof of a taxi. |
