Line 30:
** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: Gordon Cutter, also the [[Eccentric Mentor]].
* [[The Fun in Funeral]]: A less-than thirty second scene that crams about five or ten different mishaps in while introducing Neil Bucyk. What should be [[A Simple Plan|a straightforward cremation]] goes horribly (and hilariously) awry when:
** The conveyer belt's motor shorts out,
** causing the recording of [[Amazing Freaking Grace]] to play in reverse,
** along with causing the coffin to start moving ''away'' from the oven and towards the end of the belt.
** They try to keep the coffin from falling off the end, only for it to tip over onto its end, the lid popping open leading to
** Coach Foley's body almost falling out,
** only to be caught by Neil grabbing the Coach by the face and throwing him ''back'' in the coffin,
** only for the belt to start moving the ''right'' direction,
** Neil's coat to get caught in the lid of the coffin when it slams shut,
** Dragging him onto the conveyer belt with the casket and being dragged towards the oven, [[Black Comedy|all while the grieving family sits and watches]], ''[[Black Comedy|horrified]]''. All of this in a scene that again, lasts ''less than 30 seconds''.
* [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]]: a variation: Both sisters are The Smart Sister; one happens to be the Prodigal Daughter (went to college, joined [[Expy|The American Space Agency]], became an astronaut) while the other is [[The Dutiful Son|The Dutiful Daughter]], who stayed home with the family and cared for their father. Also, [[Triang Relations|both are romantic interests]] for Chris Cutter.
* [[Graceful Loser]]: {{spoiler|The Juggernaut}}, even [[Lampshaded]] in passing as part of a [[Brick Joke]] moments later.
Line 68:
* [[Thanatos Gambit]]: Pretty much the entire plot of the film is the result of Donald Foley guilt-tripping his old curling team into reuniting after he dies.
* [[There Was a Door]]: Lennox, followed by his angry loan-shark, enters Cutter's motel room directly through the wall, much to Cutter's confusion.
* [[Training
* [[Triang Relations]]: Chris, Julie, and Amy, with Chris being the focus. Starts as a Type 4, until Julie points out to Amy that, strictly speaking, there ''is'' no triangle since Chris left her years previously and she's grown to pretty much hate him [[Tsundere|despite their one-night-stand hookup.]]
* [[Tropaholics Anonymous]]: Amy, a recovering alcoholic, goes to AA meetings at least once in the film. This mostly gives her a chance to monologue about her problems in a context where it makes sense to do so.
