Line 8:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Actors will make fun of each other by referencing each other's past roles.
* [[Artistic License Physics]]: In-work. ''[[Fast Five]]'' plays so fast and loose with the laws of physics that eventually, the Laws of Physics walk off the set.
* [[Bat Deduction]]: How Sherlock Holmes is depicted in ''[[Sherlock Holmes (Filmfilm)|Sherlock Holmes]]''.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: The author has demonstrated a lot of in depth knowledge of various religions and cultures.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: [[Samuel L. Jackson]], [[Kick -Ass (Filmfilm)|Chloe Grace Moertz]], and [[The Hangover|Bradley Cooper]]'s dialogue are peppered with curse words.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Sometimes [[Averted|averted]], but Hilton still gets the facts confused or misinterprets a plot device, and thus ends up misrepresents the films sometimes.
* [[Downer Ending]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the ''[[WintersWinter's Bone]]'' script:
{{quote| '''JOHN HAWKES''': Yeah, this ending is getting a little too happy. This is an Indie movie, your options are [[Bittersweet Ending|bittersweet]] or fucking miserable. }}
* [[Genre Savvy]]: The cast in the scripts tend to be aware of the genre they're in and will state the role they fill in the movie.
Line 19:
{{quote| '''AYELET ZURER''': Wait let me try one. Okay, so this guy was chained up… chains are often used for construction work… the fourth cardinal is at a construction site!<br />
'''TOM HANKS''': What? Don’t be stupid. The fourth element is water, so he’s in a fountain. }}
* [[Mineral MacGuffin]]: Called "Macguffium" in the ''[[Avatar (Filmfilm)|Avatar]]'' script and "Plotresolvium" in ''[[Chronicle]]''.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: The script is aware that the work is fiction, with actors dissing the movie they're in, directors arguing with the actors, and even the audience is given lines.
* [[Running Gag]]: In the ''[[WintersWinter's Bone]]'' script, every setting is described as bleak, up to the point that one scene is described as "INT. BLEAK SHERIFF STATION, [[Department of Redundancy Department|BLEAKITY BLEAK BLEAK]]"
** [[Samuel L. Jackson]] is listed as SAMUEL L MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON in every script he appears in.
* [[Script Fic]]: The screenplays are this combined with [[The Abridged Series]].
* [[Serial Numbers Filed Off]]: In-work. The original scene descriptions for ''[[The Hangover]]'' are used in the sequel, but with words scratched out and replaced with new ones.
* [[Take That, Audience!]]: Combined with [[Take That Me]] in the ''[[Kick -Ass (Filmfilm)|Kick Ass]]'' script. One character makes fun of [[Ron Paul]] supporters, then later makes a joke the only thing stupider than abandoning the [[Deconstructive Parody]] premise of the story was making fun of Ron Paul supporters on a website that allows comments.
* [[Trope Name]]: Stock characters in the script will bluntly state their role in the movie.
