Line 8:
* '''Subverted''': The villain's weapon backfires, but he is [[Not Quite Dead]] and uses it again to kill the hero.
* '''Doubly Subverted''': The hero is also [[Not Quite Dead]] and manages to use the villain's weapon to kill the villain, for good this time.
* '''
* '''Parodied''': The villain's weapon kills him... [[What an Idiot!|because he had his head stuck down the barrel trying to see why it wasn't working]].
* '''Deconstruction''': The villain's weaponry comes complete with inherent flaws and is highly unstable, meaning that it could kill ''anyone'' at any time; it's a turkey shoot whether it'll even work properly. The villain is aware of this, but the villain is willing to take that chance.
* '''Reconstruction''': Unfortunately for him, the villain is just highly incompetent at using it.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
* '''Conversed''': "Wow, the villains in these stories really need to institute some tighter quality control checks."
