Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudini: Jefferson. He's just as culpable as Al is for the supermodel breaking her leg due to the shoddy shoes (and it was ''his'' idea to have her name the store on national television for the free publicity in lieu of an actual payment), but since only Al's name is given, no shame or loss of income befalls him and he just walks away after all the patrons abandon the store.

* DownerEnding: Al ends up with the pair of shoes he sold to the supermodel Dominique breaking her leg on national television, Jefferson (who convinced him to give her the shoes for free in exchange for advertising the store on TV), abandons him, he is liked to be sued/ruined and he ends up walling himself up in the same wall where he first found the shoes.



* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Al can't remember any good shows from the 70s so he names a show from the 60s (The Avengers) and the 80s (Miami Vice)

** The shoes might've been back in style but they were still from the 70s so they do exactly what 20-year-old shoes would do, break.

* TakeThat: To the 70s. Not only does Al talk about how much the hair and fashion of the era sucks, but when the reporter identifies what was popular (the Ford Pinto, Billy Beer and ''Diff'rent Strokes''), his response is a disgusted "Yikes!", as well as his disbelief that ''Diff'rent Strokes'' (which was primarily known as a popular ''80s'' show) premiered then.
