* BlatantLies: While the crew tries to blend in as experts that deal with employee trust and motivation, they soon have to drop the whole pretense when the camera crew catches onto their discovery of embezzlement.
* {{Expy}}: Fred brings to mind Michael Scott, although their cluelessness for business are different (Fred understands it in football terms, Michael is a GeniusDitz, and just keeps coming up with bad ideas).

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Felicia, the seemingly jovial and low-level HR director, is the real embezzler/counterfeiter setting up Fred.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Two for the team. First, they had no idea a documentary was going to be filmed and naturally, being followed by cameras is affecting things. Second is the discovery that Bartley is actually ''not'' a corrupt scumbag but a decent guy over his head which throws off the con.
