"Lottery"
Amy tries to ask Glenn for a raise, but gets turned down. Dina tries to sell more lottery tickets than a competing store. Mateo and Cheyenne make a deal to try and win the lottery.
Tropes:
- Brick Joke: One bit character plays the numbers from Lost on his lottery ticket. Later in the episode, those turn out to be the winning numbers.
- Digging Yourself Deeper: Jonah says he'd travel the world if he won the lottery, implying he'd leave his girlfriend Kelly to do that. He apologizes to Kelly by defending it as his "wildest fantasy," prompting Kelly to ask why she's not in that fantasy. Jonah keeps explaining himself with worse scenarios.Jonah: I just meant, like, a hypothetical world where you're not there?
Kelly: So I'm dead in your fantasy!
Jonah: No, no, it's like an alternate timeline where, like, you never existed in the first place.
Kelly: Seriously, stop. I can't take this much romance. - Hypocritical Humor: Dina badmouths Colleen, an employee from a rival Cloud 9, remarking about her "smug cancer-surviving smirk." When Sandra chimes in about how she sounds like a piece of work, Dina admonishes Sandra and remarks on how quick women are to judge other women.
- If I Were a Rich Man: In the Cold Open, all the characters fantasize about what they'd do if they won the lottery. Some examples: Marcus would buy clean bedsheets instead of constantly washing his, Amy would flaunt her wealth to rude white women in fancy stores, and Sandra would donate to her favorite charity. That last one prompts everybody to awkwardly affirm that they'd donate their winnings to charity too.
- Meaningful Name: Backfires when Glenn names the hypothetical employee in his budget demonstration "Penny Wise," and Garrett asks if she's a killer clown who lives in a sewer.
- Not Even Bothering with an Excuse: In the Cold Open when Sandra mentions that she'd give all her money to charity if she won the lottery, everyone starts backtracking and saying they would too. Garret remarks that he'd just stick with his original plan.
- Racial Face Blindness: Discussed when Amy keeps mistaking women on the country club golf course for Laurie. Jonah asks if she thinks all white women look the same, and Amy insists, "No! I think all these white women look the same."
- Too Much Information: While trying to ask Glenn for a raise, Amy gets stuck listening to a married couple discuss how the Squatty Potty saved their marriage. She cuts off the details to just bluntly ask Glenn the question.
