Plot
Before the movie was released, Thorne-Smith appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, where Saturday Night Live comedian Norm Macdonald (who was also a guest on Conan's show) derided the concept of doing a film with Carrot Top. When Conan asked Smith the title of the film, Macdonald interjected that if it had Carrot Top in it, a good title would be "Box Office Poison". After Smith revealed the actual title, Conan jokingly retorted to Macdonald "Do something with that, ya freak", to which Macdonald thought for a moment and replied "I bet the 'Board' is spelled 'B-o-r-e-d'", which triggered Conan to burst out laughing.
