* BribingTheHomeless: Mitch tries to bribe some homeless men into disrupting the theater owned by the BigBad. They initially refuse, saying they're more the beaten down by life, sad sort of homeless people rather than crazy disruptive homeless people. Mitch simply increases the bribe and they promptly start disrupting the theater.
-->'''Mitch:''' Hey, homeless guys! I'll tell ya what. I'll give you a dollar each if you'll go into this building here and run around yellin' and screamin'.
-->'''Homeless Guy #1:''' Uh, that's very nice, but I think what you probably need are, like, some psycho, out-of-control homeless guys?
-->'''Homeless Guy #2:''' Yeah, we're more the broken, spiritless, I've-lost-the-will-to-live type homeless guys.
-->'''Mitch:''' How about for two dollars? ''[cut to the homeless people running into the building screaming]''

Childhood friends Mitch ([=MacDonald=]) and Sam (Lange) need $50,000 to get Sam's father a life-saving heart operation. Problem is, both are completely incompetent when it comes to holding down a job. That is, until they figure out they can make a living out of the one thing they're actually good at: Revenge!
''Dirty Work'' is also noteworthy for being the final film that Creator/ChrisFarley appeared in following his death, although he only played a minor character rather than having a starring role.

Revenge! To be more specific, people can hire Mitch and Sam to get revenge on whatever person has annoyed them, such as a noisy neighbor, and Mitch and Sam will handle the "[[TitleDrop dirty work]]" of getting that revenge for them.

* AssholeVictim: Pretty much the entire point of Mitch's idea for a business is to hire himself out to attack assholes on behalf of the people tired of dealing with them. The film is quick to show that, however, that not every such victim actually deserves to be hit with Mitch's shenanigans, and even for those who do, things can spiral out of control.

* HonkingArrivingCar: Mitch subverts one of Sam's pranks, causing Sam much embarrassment, by turning to this trope. Sam decides to moon a line of people outside a movie theater as they are driving down the street. Mitch obnoxiously honks his horn to draw attention to themselves, especially Sam, only to immediately park the car directly in front of the crowd of people and promptly get out of the vehicle and walk away. Literally caught with his pants down, Sam hangs a lampshade on it when he explains to the crowd of people he mooned that Mitch was supposed to keep driving.
