=== This film contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Asshole Victim]]: The yuppie among the bank hostages
Line 21:
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Grimm. It doesn't help.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: It's Bill Murray. Of course there's one.
{{quote| '''Security Guard:''' ''(seeing the dynamite)'' What the hell kind of clown are you?!<br />
'''Grimm:''' ''(deadpan)'' The "crying on the inside" kind, I guess. }}
* [[Disguised Hostage Gambit]]
Line 30:
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Rotzinger.
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: The bus driver, oh so very much.
{{quote| '''Bus Driver:''' BEHIND THE WHITE LINE!!!<br />
'''Grimm:''' You better lighten up. You're becoming Ralph Kramden's evil twin. }}
* [[The Mafia]]
Line 38:
* [[Never Live It Down]]: In-universe; Loomis' frequent response whenever Grimm gets annoyed with him is to immediately beg Grimm not to hit him. At one point Grimm, perplexed, asks Loomis why he does this, since Grimm hasn't hit anyone since he was six years old. Loomis replies that it was ''him'' that Grimm hit that time.
* [[Not So Different]]: One gets the feeling that Grimm and Rotzinger would actually get along quite well if it wasn't for the latter chasing the former for armed robbery.
* [[One -Book Author]]: The sole directing credit of Bill Murray's career.
* [[The Perfect Crime]]: The getaway, on the other hand...
* [[Precision F -Strike]]:
{{quote| '''Phyllis:''' ''(comforting Loomis on her lap)'' None of this is your fault... ''(slaps him)'' Except you honked the ''fucking'' car horn.}}
* [[Road Sign Reversal]]
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: How Grimm deals with some mobsters.
* [[Retirony]]: Averted with Rotzinger.
* [[Self -Serving Memory]]: The bank security guard becomes a ''lot'' more competent and heroic in dealing with the robbers when telling the police about it retroactively.
* [[Sick and Wrong]]: Loomis on seeing the bizarre jousting ceremony.
{{quote| '''Loomis:''' It's bad luck just ''seeing'' a thing like that!}}
* [[A Simple Plan]]: The robbery itself is quite intricate and well-thought out, and goes off without a hitch. The getaway is [[A Simple Plan]] of the three essentially driving to the airport. It doesn't work out that way.
* [[Sympathetic Criminal]]: Okay, they're robbing a bank and they don't really have any grand ulterior motive for it, but Grimm and his friends are otherwise really likeable, decent and good-hearted people.
