{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes that apply to this film: ===
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Bishop, the dishwasher who gives psychological advice to the rest of the staff.
* [[Angst]]: Of the existential sort. It drives the movie.
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Naomi. Nice in public, nasty in private.
* [[Epiphany Therapy]]: Averted. Calvin feels much better after Bishop walks him through a mental exercise about [[It Makes Sense in Context|peeing in a public restroom]], but Bishop then goes on to outline a therapy plan, involving repeating that exercise every night, and then slowly working him up to the stalls. Too bad Calvin isn't listening.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: In addition to [[Ryan Reynolds]] and the Mac guy, you have [[Pushing Daisies|Emerson Cod]], [[BeakmansBeakman's World|Josie]], [[Bones|Sweets]], and [[Dane Cook]].
* [[I Ate What?]]: The "biatch" diner is given a "special" steak when she demands a new one. Remember, folks: Don't piss off the waitstaff.
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Monty claims he is allowed to have sex with under-age girls because he wasn't there when the laws were made.
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
* [[Recycled in Space]]: It's [[Clerks]] in a restaurant.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Monty, his mother and Dean eating dinner.
* [[Shout -Out]] The name of the restaurant Shenanigans is a reference to [[Super Troopers]]. Shenanigans was mentioned as a Restaurant that officer Rodney Farva liked to eat at complete with goofy shit on the wall.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: One near the end...{{spoiler|by the otherwise [[The Voiceless|voiceless]] Mitch.}}
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]: No pun intended, there are many, many subplots going on. In fact, the audience can pretty much choose who the main character is and what the main plot is.
