Tropes for the film:
- Big Applesauce: Part of the film takes place in Manhattan.
- Obfuscating Disability: Chip Sanders needed to use a wheelchair temporarily and continued to use it years later to gain sympathy from others. The wheelchair allowed him to be a huge Jerkass without people calling him out on it, guaranteed his job security, and made it easier for him to pick up girls.
- Tagline: "Credit-grabbing, back-stabbing, wife-nabbing. Just another day at the office".
- Throwing Off the Disability: Chip reveals he can walk; this ends up being his
Moral Event Horizon as he has been pretending to be handicapped for years.
