15	!!Tropes seen in ''Infomercials'' include:
16	* BrickJoke: ''Wet Shapes'' makes a joke about the elderly commercial director for Wet Shapes being old enough for somebody to think that he's dead. Near the end of the film when everybody is [[spoiler:laughing about Lesley stealing all their Wet Shapes again,]] the commercial director can be seen collapsing and presumably dying in his seat.
17	* CaptainOblivious: Dip Dunham from ''The Salad Mixxxer'' is extremely oblivious to the fact that his kitchen products make great sex toys. [[spoiler:He finally realizes the real reason why people use his products at the end after witnessing a threesome using his products. Naturally, he freaks out]].
18	* ClicheStorm: ''Cool Dad'' is designed to be a parody of cheesy comedy movies from the 90's, featuring many common tropes found in comedy films and movie trailers from the time.
19	* DeliberateVhsQuality: ''Cool Dad'' uses this to make the film feel like an authentic series of previews before a movie plays on a tape.
20	* {{Main/Fartillery}}: At the end of ''Fartcopter'', [[spoiler:a giant Fartcopter flies over the intervention that Michael's family held for him, and makes a fart sound so loud, that they all die from internal bleeding (sans Michael)]].
21	* FreakOut: An elderly Dip Dunham has one at the end of ''The Salad Mixxxer'' when he discovers that people use his kitchen products as [[spoiler:sex toys]].
22	* FreezeFrameBonus: If one slows the episode ''M.O.P.Z'' enough, [[https://vimeo.com/159833100 the result]] is a 43 minute long film complete with dialogue, an understandable plot, and a soundtrack.
23	* HereWeGoAgain: ''Cool Dad'' has a father and his family go through the same movie trailer setup three times, with the only difference being what the son wishes about his dad and how it affects them. [[spoiler:The 4th round deconstructs the setup, with the father's friends and family holding an intervention about how he can't keep relying on his son's wishes to be a decent person]].
