Tom (as Jimmy): Um, "Hello sir or madam..."

  • Ho Yay: Joel and the 'bots imply this about Mr. Warren and Jimmy.
    • Also:

Mr. Warren: I remember the first thing Harry drilled into me—
Crow: —was Harry!

I got a job today! (He's hired!)
I'm selling Chevrolets! (He's hired!)
I'm taking home good pay...
I just got hired!

  • "Previously On...": As the short was broken up into two segments, this trope was given a minor spoof.

Crow: Previously on Hired!

Servo: (as one of Jimmy's potential customers) Could ya turn down the music?! I can't hear a word you're saying!

  • Special Edition: When Shout! Factory rereleased Manos: The Hands of Fate, not only was the original second half of Hired! on here, they actually fused both parts together and released it as a bonus feature, just because they could.
  • This Is Sparta: "HE BOUGHT THE CAR!"
  • You Fail Economics Forever: "Uncle Sam's gonna need cars! Why, selling Chevrolets is gonna help the war effort! Don't ya see, Dad? Come on everybody!"
