Line 39:
* [[Oscar Bait]]: The rampant [[Tear Jerker|TearJerkers]] following the [[Halfway Plot Switch|halfway]] [[Mood Whiplash]] are pretty blatant in this regard.
* [[Product Placement]] (?) - Bed, Bath & Beyond is a real store chain.
* [[Rewind, Replay, Repeat]]: Michael realizes that abusing the "skip" function too many times has caused him to miss several key events in his life, including {{spoiler|the death of his father.}} He attempts to rewind back to that moment. Morty tells him it can't be done, because Michael ''wasn't there'' at the time of his father's death. Grief-stricken, Michael can only rewind back to {{spoiler|the last time he saw his father alive.}} Michael has become a great success at his job, but is now a heartless businessman. {{spoiler|When his father shows up for a friendly visit, he attempts to bond with Michael one more time. Michael gives him a careless and brusque brush off.}} Michael-watching-the-rewind sees what In-the-Moment-Michael missed.
* [[Running Gag]]: All the dogs Michael's family get shown having their way with a plush duck.
* [[Sensitivity Training]]: Michael has to sit through one and uses the remote to entertain himself while he sits through it.
Line 46:
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: Thanks to the constant time skips caused by the remote "learning" to skip to promotions and other work-related successes, we see glimpses of a future where [[Everything Is an iPod In The Future|Everything Is An iPod]]. Of course, it's a bit confusing as to ''when'' they take place; the first time skip of any substantial amount is shown to have transported Michael to the year 2017, but the other time skips are left completely ambiguous, other than that the last one {{spoiler|where he dies shortly afterwards}} and thus would likely be somewhere in the 2030s considering he's probably in his 30s at the beginning.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: During the periods where the Remote "fast-forwards" through his life, Michael becomes one of these.
* [[Wham! Line]]: This exchange between Michael and Morty in the {{spoiler|cemetery after visiting Ted's grave.}}
{{quote| '''Morty''': ''*standing at {{spoiler|Ted's grave}}*'' He was a good man. I'm sorry, Michael. I didn't want to take him.<br />
'''Michael''': What?<br />
