Run Fatboy Run: Difference between revisions

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[The Ace]]: Whit; "[[Wacky Races|Peter Perfect]]" as Dennis calls him.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: David Walliams' cameo is similar to his ''[[Little Britain]]'' character who goes into shops asking for oddly specific things.

'''Dennis''': (in ''tears'', barely cognizant) '''How the [[Precision F-Strike|fuck]] do you think I feel?!''' }}

* [[Blackmail]]: When Dennis refuses Maya's ultimatum to kick him out if he quits the race and pay his back rent if he doesn't, she whips away his [[Modesty Towel]] and takes a polaroid of his naked body. "Deal?" "...Deal."

* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: {{spoiler|Whit trips Dennis up, only to be sent to hospital himself while Dennis limps on, and later to get caught out by an action replay.}}

* [[Consequence Combo]]: There are a lot of carrots and sticks in play, but the clearest example of the trope is Maya's ultimatum - if Dennis finishes the race, she'll call off his back rent. If he doesn't, she'll kick him out.

* [[Training Montage]]: Parodied and played straight side-by-side.

* [[Transvestite]]: who enjoys terrorizing Dennis the security guard, and is later shown [[Chekhov's Skill|running the marathon.]]

* [[The Unpronounceable]]: Mr Gostust... Goshdash... Mr G. [[All There in the Script|For the record: Goshdashtidar.]]

* [[Visual Pun]]: Whit and Dennis edge their way past a pair of runners dressed as a tortoise and a hare.
