Line 19:
* [[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.

* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: in the scene where [[Simon Pegg]] and Hank Azaria are talking in the locker room, Simon's shocked reaction to Hank dropping his towel was very real.

* [[Parent
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Jake on Whit: "what a shithead..."
* [[Product Placement]]: shamelessly, for the <s>film's</s> marathon's sponsors Nike. There are Nike banners every 20 feet of the race, and repeated namedroppings from journalists.
Line 62:
* [[Transvestite]]: who enjoys terrorizing Dennis the security guard, and is later shown [[Chekhov's Skill|running the marathon.]]
* [[Ugly Guys Hot Daughter]]: Maya.
* [[The Unpronounceable]]: Mr Gostust... Goshdash... Mr G. [[All There in
* [[Visual Pun]]: Whit and Dennis edge their way past a pair of runners dressed as a tortoise and a hare.
