* CeilingCling: Jake hides inside the ceiling tiles. Unfortunately, the tiles can't hold his weight and he drops hard and injures himself, which affects his performance for the rest of the games.



* GagPenis: We naturally don't see it, but when Charles accidentally exposes himself while changing costumes, the reactions suggest that he is surprisingly hung.
-->'''Jake:''' He really ''is'' the Greatest Showman.



* PlotAllergy: Debbie is the first to be disqualified in the first event (throwing expired cold cuts at the window) because she is allergic to turkey. She also carries a purse full of epi-pens, which is later put to good use.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Hitchcock takes a ton of Scully's medications in order to give himself an edge in the games. While it works wonders for the first few rounds, it comes back to bite him ''hard'' in the last two rounds, when the side-effects start to kick in and he can barely move. The only reason that he even comes close to being a threat to Jake in the final round is that Rosa and Holt drop out of the fourth round so he wins by default, and Jake is badly injured in two separate ceiling-related incidents.
* ICallItVera: Scully calls his ''massive'' box of various prescriptions "Dorothy."
* IncrediblyLameFun: Terry and Amy initially had plans to go to a voluntary Administration Workshop for the NYPD. However, Amy drops out after Jake bets their new car.
