* BaitAndSwitch: Shortly after Mickey receives the pizzas from Jimmy Pesto, a number of gunshots are heard from the bank, implying that he had lost his temper and started shooting people, but it turns out he instead hated Jimmy's pizzas so much that he shot each box multiple times and then proceeds to throw them out of the bank and yell to the crowd outside how much Jimmy's pizzas suck, much to Bob's delight.

* {{Jerkass}}: One of the hostages, who constantly hits on a girl who is clearly uninterested and who almost drives over Bob.

* TheCameo: Hugo and Mr. Fischoeder each make brief appearances behind the police barricade, and the latter even talks to the former.

* AffablyEvil: Mickey. He's genuinely friendly to the Belchers, even treats the hostages (relatively) well, and he's noticeably kinder than even some of the hostages (namely Mr. Dowling, Mr. Frond, and the CasanovaWannabe).

!Tropes:

* TheMole: Officer Bosco tells Bob to be his man in the inside when Bob gets stuck as a hostage.

* OnlySaneMan: Bob is this to the entire situation. Both Officer Bosco and Mickey seem to be insane and incompetent at what they are attempting to do.

* SplitScreenPhonecall: Originally between Bob and Louise. Then Linda, Gene, Officer Bosco and Tina all enter the conversation.
