Trivia
Universal had to demonstrate to the MPAA that the name Focker was an actual surname in use in North America in order to deflect accusations of profanity. The name still has a strong connotation as a minced oath, in parody of the word 'fucker', and this is underlined by the continued use of movie titles where Focker is contextually placed as a strong homonym for Fucker.
