* ReachingThroughTheFourthWall: Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale, and Fearless Leader all turn into real-life humans when accidentally pulled out of a TV by a Hollywood film executive. Rocky and Bullwinkle, however, stay as animated 3D models.

Added DiffLines:

* AmplifierArtifact: The plot device central to the villains' plans is the Quality Control Machine, which magnifies the qualities of any media run through it. With it, they modify already bad shows into programs so mind-numbing they'll mesmerize viewers into doing whatever they're ordered.

Added the Wrong Genre Savvy entry.

Added DiffLines:

* WrongGenreSavvy: When Bullwinkle is surrounded by Fearless Leader's goons in the climax, he gets an idea for how to buy some time: "Quick, [[CommercialBreakCliffhanger cut to a commercial!]]" While this would've worked in his native TV Series, it doesn't work in a theatrical film. Appropriately, the henchmen all look around confusedly for nothing to happen.
-->'''Bullwinkle''': What is this, {{Creator/PBS}}!?
