* MagicRealism: The original movie was already an example, but it's a bit more jarring here. The story is a realistic PeriodPiece... until ''the Devil himself'' [[GiantSpaceFleaOutOfNowhere shows up as an antagonist with no warning!]] [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane Granted]], we do eventually find out that he might not ''really'' be the Devil, but at that point he's already appeared in several scenes.

!!Tropes:

* AmbiguousDisorder: Everett describes Delmar as "not exactly stupid" but "neurologically atypical."
* AnachronismStew: Everett claims that it will probably take a while until they see Jeff in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_500 Fortune 500.]] When Delmar asks what that is, Everett admits that it hasn't been created yet.
* BadLiar: [[CassandraTruth Erevett can't convince anyone of anything when he's telling the truth,]] and his lies are even worse. [[BlatantLies For instance, he claims that Pete and Delmar are experimental supersoldiers sent out by the goverment to hunt him down.]]
* BreakingTheFellowship: Everett and Delmar manage to board the train, but Pete can't keep up with them and is left in the little town. [[ShaggyDogStory They reunite when Everett and Pete are both captured by the police and end up in the same prison they escaped from earlier.]]
* BusCrash: It's implied that Pete ate Elisa the pig off-screen.
* CallBack:
** When the runaways encounter a strange and possibly magical lad living in a hut in the forest, they ask him [[Recap/FilmRerollTheWizardOfOz if he knows Tip.]] On learning that his name is Jeff, [[Recap/FilmRerollHalloween1978 they also call back to Jeff the Policeman.]]
** The players call out "[[Recap/FilmRerollJumanji Jumanji!]]" when they reach the destination of their quest.
--> [[LampshadeHanging Listeners, those were references to past episodes. Thank you for tuning in this far in the Film Reroll season.]]
* CaptainObvious:
-->'''Jon/Guard:''' Where you goin', boy?\\
'''Andy/Everett:''' Everything's on fire! I don't know! I don't know what to do, man!\\
'''Joz:''' And the sky's blue, and these are blueberries, and you're a guard...
* CarChase: Boy Hogwollop saves the trio (and a pig) from the burning barn by driving into it with his father's car. They then use said car to flee from the police. (Sure, they end up driving off a cliff, crashing the car and breaking Boy's leg. But hey, they ''did'' get away...)
* ChainedToARailway: The gang does this to the pig Elisa as part of a BatmanGambit. The idea is that the train will stop in order to not hit the animal, giving them a chance to board it. (Unfortunately for them, the train simply changes tracks instead, forcing the trio to run after it.)
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
** When the police pour gasoline on the barn door, Delmar's only reaction is...
--->'''Delmar O'Donnel:''' That smells like a car!
** He doesn't grasp the seriousness of the situation when they bring out the torches, either.
--->'''Delmar:''' Oh, that smells like a campfire!
** It happens again when the old confederate captain [[HoYay starts staring at Delmar and talk directly to him.]]
-->'''Everett:''' Don't you get seduced by any honey words, Delmar.\\
'''Delmar:''' He hasn't eaten honey.
** And again, when Everett tries getting his attention from within the stone-cutting prison...
-->'''Everett:''' Delmar! Delmar!\\
'''Delmar:''' I think this fence is talking to me.\\
'''Everett:''' Delmar. It's Everett! Everett [=McGill=]!\\
'''Delmar:''' How do you know my friend's name?
* CrosscastRole: Delmar O'Donnel is played by Jocelyn Vammer.
* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Everett tells Boy Hogwollop that yes, being a criminal is fun, [[HypocrisyNod but he shouldn't do it.]]
* EsotericHappyEnding: Pretty much an InvokedTrope by Everett, who shows up at his ex-wife's wedding to beat up her new husband. He pretends to have won her heart after "defeating" his romantic rival, but it's obvious that Cally and Vernon are still married and now hate him even more. Also, Pete and Delmar have realised that Everett tricked them all along. And as if that wasn't enough, he is still being pursued by the Devil, who seems to be catching up...
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Delmar claims to have a pair of these.
-->'''Everett:''' I mean, really, Delmar. Just trust your best judgement, you know.\\
'''Delmar:''' I will!\\
'''Everett:''' Your ''best'' judgment.\\
'''Delmar:''' Oh, yeah.\\
'''Everett:''' Right.\\
'''Delmar:''' I've got a bad judgment too.\\
'''Everett:''' I've put a lot of faith in you.\\
'''Delmar:''' I don't know which one to listen to sometimes.\\
'''Everett:''' Well, that's alright.\\
'''Delmar:''' They both talk a lot.
* GuestHost: Jon Miller replaces regular Dungeon Master Paulo Quiros for this episode.
* TalkingBird: Everett's ex-wife Cally owns an exotic bird shop. Delmar fantasises about buying twelve parrots and starting a band with them.
* TheKlutz: Delmar O'Donnel constantly falls over, either because he keeps forgetting that he's chained together with his friends, or because he can't keep up with them.
* LetMeTellYouAStory: The old confederate captain has a tendency for this, which annoys Everett a great deal.
* LovableRogue: Everett is arguably an unintentional [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction.]] During the post-game discussion, the players point out that such characters might stop being lovable if they have bad luck and start resorting to tricking their friends in order for their schemes to go though.
* MagicRealism: The original movie was already an example, but it's a bit more jarring here. The story is a realistic PeriodPiece... until ''the Devil himself'' [[GiantSpaceFleaOutOfNowhere shows up as an antagonist with no warning!]] [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane Granted]], we do eventually find out that he might not ''really'' be the Devil, but at that point he's already appeared in several scenes.
* MediumAwareness:
-->'''Andy/Everett:''' ''[in character]'' I'd like to use some luck, sir.\\
'''Jon/Guard:''' Well, all right, I'll wait for you to roll again.
* NeverLearnedToRead: Delmar claims to be illiterate.
* RunningGag:
** Everett saying "We're in a tight spot" on every single suitable occasion (and sometimes other players saying it for him if Andy misses an opportunity).
** Delmar's excellent knees, [[ShowSomeLeg which he loves to show off.]]
* SequelHook: The campaign ends with the Devil approaching the town where Everett is hiding. Whether or not there will actually ''be'' a sequel is unclear.
* ShoutOut:
** As Everett is being prepared for an interrogation by the sheriff's men:
--->'''Andy/Everett:''' I had a dream that I was in a film called ''Film/{{Syriana}}''.
** When Jon asks Andy how Everett kept the sheriff's men from confiscating the gold watch he was carrying when he was recaptured, he says he did it [[AssShove the same way]] Christopher Walken did in ''Film/PulpFiction''. Though unlike Walken's character, Everett has a hard time getting it out again...
** The players feel that one of the Devil's henchmen sound like Creator/ChrisRock.
* TwistedAnkle: In a rare male example, Delmar O'Donnel ends up with one.
* WeNeedADistraction: Everett and Delmar plan to use the disruption created by Mike and the blueberry pickers strike to steal a car. Unfortunately, Delmar can't quite get it to start...
* WithCatlikeTread: No matter how much he tries, Everett just can't sneak away from the guard at the blueberry farm.
* WorthlessTreasureTwist: Pete and Delmar eventually realise that Everett lied to them and that there is no treasure. Though we never get see to see [[LiarRevealed what consequences]] this has, as the story ends right afterwards.
