!Tropes for the film:
* AsHimself: Creator/MorganFairchild, Creator/FlorenceHenderson, Creator/WillardScott, among others make appearances as themselves.
* JustKeepDriving: Done egregiously. G walks across several lanes of high-speed traffic without looking, and without getting hit. It's supposed to make it look like he's so in tune with the world that he doesn't need to worry (or has some kind of protection), but the fact that all the cars ''barely'' miss him and have no reaction at all just makes it look fake, regardless of how good the special effect is.
* OneLetterName: G, the titular character of the film.
* {{Tagline}}: "God's gift to home shopping".
