Added DiffLines:

* '''Played For Laughs''': The gadget in Bob's watch is something incredibly stupid like a concealed bottle of hot sauce for covert food seasoning.
* '''Played For Drama''': Bob uses the gadget in his watch to save his life. As an example, he empties that concealed bottle of hot sauce in the face of a goon giving him a half-nelson before grabbing a nearby gun and blowing his brains out.
* '''Played For Horror''': The gadget in Bob's watch is a weapon of mass destruction meant [[TakingYouWithMe to destroy Bob and any surrounding enemies]], [[LeaveNoWitnesses any potential witnesses and evidence]], and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill a significant chunk of the surrounding area]]. And these items are standard-issue amongst members of [[TheMenInBlack Bob's agency]].
* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': Because of ProductPlacement, Bob is given a brand-new Numega Time-Striker early in the film. Because of how often this trope is played straight in spy films, Bob and his quartermaster spend a couple of minutes joking about how the Time-Striker is not going to transform into a switchblade when you press a button.
