{{quote|'''Dave:''' Wait a minute. You carry around your contract with you?
'''Bill:''' At a time like this it doesn't seem so crazy, does it?}}
** While in his radio booth, Bill has a prerecorded sound effect for any occasion.
** Also, in the episode "Security Door", Dave gets fed-up with everyone not following proper security door protocol. Calling a staff meeting, he has an easel and a huge pad of paper with drawings of what to do and not to do while he gives his speech, covering fires, thieving burglars, propping open the door, earthquakes (even explaining that they mainly happen in the 'ring of fire' in the pacific rim) and... ''Matthew's'' questions. They fit EXACTLY what he is saying, and even predicts what the staff will ask him. To wit:
{{quote|'''Dave:''' Any questions?
Line 54:
* [[Cross Referenced Titles]]: Bored with coming up with titles for their episodes, the writers resorted at one point to naming all the episodes after [[Led Zeppelin]] albums. See also [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]].
** "Catherine Moves On" in Season Four and "Bill Moves On" in Season Five.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Jimmy James is deceptively spry. When an ex-employee denounces him on-air, James dives across Dave's desk to hit the kill-switch button (done off-screen).
{{quote|'''Lisa:''' ''(stunned)'' I have never seen you move that fast before.
'''Jimmy:''' I save energy [[Crazy Prepared|for times like this]].}}
Line 70:
'''Teacher:''' And don't say "damn".
'''Jimmy:''' All right, but what the f- (''show cuts to the next scene'')}}
* [[A Day
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Dave.
* [[The Ditz]]: Matthew.
Line 98:
* [[Hypno Fool]]: How Joe cures Mr. James of his fear of hippies.
* [[If You Know What I Mean]]: Oysters...
* [[I Know Kung Faux]]: Joe Garelli is an expert in "Joe-jitsu".
* [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]]: What all of Beth's boyfriends told her. Not just that they are a slave to their sex drive, but that they get sick if they don't.
* [[Indulgent Fantasy Segue]]
Line 144:
* [[A Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery Inside An Enigma]]: Jimmy James once referred to himself, saying "I am a cipher--a cipher, wrapped in an enigma, and smothered in secret sauce."
* [[Risky Business Dance]]: Jimmy James does it at Dave's parent's house, where he is hiding from the police.
* [[Running Gag]]: Whenever Joe's last name is mentioned, someone (usually Bill) looks perplexed and says "Your last name is Garrelli?"
** Joe's close personal relationship with the [[wikipedia:Ted Kaczynski|Unabomber]] (before Ted Kacynski was caught in real life).
** Jimmy's attraction to Dave's mother could also be considered a running gag.
Line 199:
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Subverted; see [[Writer Revolt]] in the Trivia section.
* [[Wondrous Ladies' Room]]: Jimmy turns the men's room into a luxe club after the guys find out how nice the ladies room is. {{spoiler|Matthew ruins it by going to the bathroom.}}
* [[You Look Familiar]]: David Cross, Brian Posehn, Bob Odenkirk all appeared as different characters in different seasons.
** So did Toby Huss, Dave "Gruber" Allen, and David Anthony Higgins. Not to mention Jon Lovitz- Max Louis was the ''third'' character he played on the show.
* [[Zany Scheme]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Dave at one point: "Why is the solution to every problem around here some kind of covert plan?"
* [[Zero-G Spot]]: Dave's sexual fantasy is making love on the Space Shuttle... with a space prostitute.
** Although this may be true, he supposedly said this to make Lisa really mad, which is also one of his sexual fantasies.
* [[Zeroes and Ones]]: Joe claims to know how to read binary code.
