Tip Not Included
is a short faux-trailer for a slasher film that does not exist, directed by Ronald Ordille. Starring Christina Carmen, Shane Nolan, Jerry Walters, and Vincent Paulino as The Pizza Guy.
Tip Not Included provides examples of:
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: The Pizza Guy's pizza slicer, which for some reason cuts like a katana.
- Asshole Victim: Shane, not tipping led to not only his demise, but to an entire massacre.
- Berserk Button: For The Pizza Guy, it's not being tipped for his services, understandably.
- Bloodless Carnage: Not a single drop of blood is seen throughout the short.
- First-Name Basis: The entire cast is credited under their first name only, with the exception of Shane Hummusman.
- Serial Killer: The Pizza Guy attempts to fill this role, subverted when he only manages to kill one person on screen.
- Shout-Out:
- A red balloon is spotted in the backyard during the party.
- The Pizza Guy's silhouette evokes The Comedian's killer in the beginning of Zack Snyder's Watchmen
- The Pizza Guy replicates the Dio stroll.
- Christina takes a similar stance to Rey at the start of her duel with The Pizza Guy.
- Orange lighting is used to signal something bad.
- Sinister Silhouettes: The Pizza Guy has one at the top of the basement stairs before his duel with Christina.
- Slashers Prefer Blondes: After killing Shane, The Pizza Guy sets his homicidal sights on Christina.
- Stylistic Suck: Done to evoke low grade slashers of the 1980's.
- Wild Teen Party: What the pizza was ordered for in the first place.
