* BaitAndSwitch: Subverted in one sketch, which featured Allen as Frankenstein's monster approaching a young girl, while elsewhere a woman is crying "my baby, has anyone seen my baby". Finally she approaches the monster and the young girl, picks up the young girl and turns to the camera and says "Okay, hands up those of you who thought I was talking about the monster"

* BallisticDiscount: One sketch shows Allen as a native American chief who a British explorer is negotiating with; he is offered trinkets for various tracts of land. He wants the "stick that goes boom" (a rifle) but is refused. Finally he offers all the land they're trying to acquire for the "stick that goes boom", and the Brit, seeing this as a huge bargain, agrees. Brit gives Chief the rifle. Chief shoots Brit, and then he and his tribe members take the chest full of trinkets.

Crosswicking from Lineage Ladder. Expanded example to emphasize pattern/repetition.

Added DiffLines:

* LineageLadder: Featured within the following conversation between a nun and a priest, in which the latter uses the "children's children" pattern to convey how far away change will be:
-->'''Nun''': Father, do you think the clergy will ever be allowed to marry?
-->'''Priest''': Not in our time, nor in our children's time, but perhaps in our children's children's time.
