Line 19:
* [[Big Sleep]]: The clones think they're being [[Human Popsicle|put to sleep]] for the trip back to Earth. Well, they're half right.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]:
** The
** The Korean word "Sarang" is stenciled [[Sigil Spam|all over the base.]]
* [[Bits of Me Keep Passing Out]]: As a result of [[Clone Degeneration]].
Line 31:
* [[Cloning Blues]]: What most of the movie deals with.
* [[The Computer Is Your Friend]]: GERTY. He subverts this, despite initial appearances to the contrary.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Lunar Industries appears to be run by them. They apparently have no moral qualms with {{spoiler|creating a reserve army of slave
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: Oil has been replaced with more sustainable renewable energy sources. Which is great if you're living on Earth, but it kind of sucks if you're the movie's main character...
* [[Creepy Monotone]]: GERTY's voice isn't quite monotone, but it's always very mild and soothing. It's only the fact that he's a robot in a sci-fi story (and his resemblance to [[2001: A Space Odyssey|a certain other famous AI]]) makes him seem untrustworthy to the viewer.
Line 53:
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: GERTY needs to get Sam to erase his memory and reboot him.
* [[Ironic Echo]]:
** At the beginning of the film, Sam wears a shirt that says "Wake me when it's QUITTING TIME." It is later shown that every Sam clone is equipped with one of these shirts. The phrase itself is a pretty sick joke.
** The use of "I Am the One and Only" as his alarm is pretty sick too. At first it's was ironic because he is literally alone on the station, but it later becomes even more ironic.
* [[Irony]]: Of a pretty disturbing kind.
Line 67:
* [[Mirror Match]]: Sam 1 and Sam 2 brawl several times. The effect is ... unsettling.
* [[Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness]]: Futurology, level 5.5.
* [[Not So Different]]: Sam comes to
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Not exactly used, but the [[Trope Namer]] is referenced. At one point we see a clip of ''[[Bewitched]]'' being played, where two character are discussing Darrin. Darrin was of course... replaced.
* [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]]: Averted; Sam can't figure out the password to access the logs {{spoiler|of all the past Sams}} until GERTY supplies it for him.
* [[Peace and Love Incorporated]]: Sarang is the biggest supplier of clean helium-3 energy to 70% of the world. Their name is even the Korean word for "love".
Line 87:
* [[Strawman Political]]: The radio [[Talk Show]] host at the end is implied to be the conservative version. The final line of the movie is, "You know what, he's one of two things. He's a wacko or an illegal immigrant -- and either way, they need to lock him up. Line two!"
* [[Suicide Is Painless]]: Subverted in that they don't realize it's suicide.
** Hmm... It can't really be a suicide since they don't
* [[Tears From a Stone]]: Sort of. After GERTY tells Sam the truth, his avatar becomes a sad face, and then sheds a few crudely animated tears. Important in that it's the first sign that GERTY genuinely cares about Sam.
* [[Thrown Out the Airlock]]: Not quite, but Sam is very nearly spaced when the rover crashes and is depressurized. Luckily he gets his helmet on in time.
