If ever there was a line from the movie that could serve as its subtitle, that's it. I watched the movie this past summer on a transatlantic flight for the first time in 20 years. With earphones and the screen only inches from my face, I watched it with a focus I never had before. It was funnier than I remembered.
Rob Reiner's Marti DiBergi has got to be Martin Scorsese. There's a moment in his rockumentary "The Last Waltz" where Scorsese's asks Levon Helm a question that never needed asking. Marty's nerdy self came shining through. That's who Reiner was channeling, I think.

So much truth in that....
I own a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp; the knobs on all of Fender’s Hot Rod amps go to 12 (interestingly, the lowest value is 1).
Also, back in the early 1990’s Marshall introduced a line of amplifiers that went to 20. They even had Nigel on hand for their unveiling at the NAMM show that year.

Funniest movie ever made, if you're a rock-n-roller of that era.
I bought a 3-pickup black/gold Les Paul Custom ("Black Beauty") a while back, and came to realize that there are three kinds of people in the world. Those who say, a) "Nice guitar, what is it?", b) "Wow that's Peter Frampton's 'Comes Alive' guitar!", and c) "Wow that's Nigel Tufnel's wireless guitar!".
