* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Bill, being "DIY guy", absolutely ''refuses'' anyone's help at finding the vacuum belt, and given how big the store is, he obviously doesn't find it that easy. And when the shelves start tumbling and the toilets are about to fall on Bill, Remy tries calling for help, but his voice is too weak and shrill to signal anyone, thus Bill, who had an older voice that's louder, had to learn his lesson and call for help himself.
* TitleDrop: Several times over the course of the episode.

* BreakTheHaughty: A mild example with Bill in "DIY Guys". Bill prides himself on being self-reliant and not asking for help, but when he goes to a hardware store, it's too big and confusing for him to find what he's looking for, and steadfastly refuses to ask the employees for help finding it. Eventually he is forced to ask for help when a shelf full of toilets threatens to fall on him.
