* ActingForTwo: When Andy is given Detective Hal Slocumb to play as along with "Creator/BradPitt", he decides to go interview Darryl Dickinson about his wife, with the issue being that Andy had hijacked him as well at the start of the campaign. As such, although he was hesitant to do so, he is convinced to go and [[LiteralMetaphor interview himself.]]

* TooDumbToLive: Andy's portrayal of Darryl Dickinson has him be too incompetent to use the microwave. When Detective Slocumb shows up to interview him, he admits to trying to microwave whatever he can get his hands on (such as peanut butter) in a vain attempt to have ''some'' form of food. It eventually gets to the point where by the end of the campaign, as Thelma and Louise are preparing to do their BolivianArmyEnding against the police, Thelma wonders what ever happened to Darryl... prompting Andy to declare then and there that [[KilledOffscreen he had starved to death two days ago due to not knowing how to cook.]]

--> '''[=AngelusCowl=]''': The routes permanently diverge at Springer, New Mexico. In the film, Thelma & Louise lock the police officer in his trunk and opt to go west on backroads, rather than head directly for the border. In the Film Reroll, they proceed to the Santa Fe area without issue (and recollect JD). From here, the film has its climatic conclusion at the Grand Canyon, and the Reroll zigzags almost due south, ending at the Quarai Mission Ruins.

!!Tropes:

* BoastfulRap: Thelma starts performing one after comparing her situation to something out of a rap video. Louise stops her by taking away her mic.
* BodyHorror: Louise injures Harlan quite thoroughly. According to his doctors he has lost all of his teeth, is probably never going to walk again, will need facial reconstruction, and is likely going to have to pee through a tube from now on. It's a miracle that he still can talk as clearly as he does.
* ChekhovsGun: In an unusually dark example, our protagonists use their remaining can of gasoline [[spoiler: to light themselves on fire during their suicide.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Thelma's husband Darryl Dickinson is said to have starved to death because he never learned how the microwave worked.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: Paulo Quiros has no issues with playing a rapist like Harlan, but being forced to ''banter'' as him is apparently too much.
* GroinAttack: Louise punches Harlan in the crotch during their fight. He takes four damage, falls down to the ground next to Thelma and starts to throw up.
* GuestStar: Carolyn Faye Kramer as Thelma.

-->'''"Thelma:"''' J.D. again.\\
'''"Louise:"''' Who is J.D?\\
'''"Thelma:"''' Creator/BradPitt.\\
'''"Louise:"''' Oh.
* IKnowMortalKombat: Louise is able to avoid the cops because she has learned about the tactics they use from police dramas.
* LethalChef: Darryl is so bad at cooking that he asks the police detective interrogating him if he can help him get the hang of his microwave.
* MediumAwareness: As the gang are being chased by policemen, "Brad Pitt" knows that his life is in danger, [[MindScrew because he has seen the movie.]]
* MisplacedWildlife: At first, Thelma says that she and Louise are chased by wolves, but when the other players say that they are probably too far south to encounter those, she changes her mind and says that they are actually chased by coyotes.
* NarrationEcho:
-->'''Joz:''' What's the weather like?\\

* OriginalCharacter: Police Colonel Ethan Omaker from New Mexico. Notably, he is the first O.C. in the series to have his own pre-prepared character sheet.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: Thelma ''really'' wants to light the wooden bridge they just drove over on fire in an attempt to stop the police chasing them, but Louise feels that they can afford to lose neither the time nor the gasoline.
* RailroadTracksOfDoom: As they are being chased by the police, the gang are forced to cross a railroad ''right'' before a train passes. They succed, trapping the police on the other side.
* RapeAsComedy: While Paulo Quiros ''tries'' to [[RapeAsDrama play Harlan's Attempted Rape of Thelma for drama]] at first, it soon derails into this.

** After Andy fails his investigation roll to get a lead on Harlan's attackers, he has Detective Slocum put out an APB in which he says "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E11HomersTripleBypass Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless.]]"
** Thelma and Louise listen to Music/{{Nirvana}} on their car radio.
** They also hear somebody say "[[Literature/TheHobbit Shire... Baggins...]]"
** Joz Vammer mentions Creator/LRonHubbard, and that she used to think that his name was "[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Elrond.]]"
** When Thelma and Louise reach Santa Fe, Louise suggests they stop there and [[{{Theatre/Rent}} open a restaurant]]. The players then compete to come up with more musical theatre shout-outs, resulting in a fairly clever reference to ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' and a rather strained reference to ''Theatre/ShrekTheMusical''.
** Thelma compares Louise and Harlan's fight with something out of ''LiveActionTV/GameOfThrones''.
** At one point, Thelma starts singing, "[[Music/BobDylan How many roads can a woman drive down?]]".
* SkewedPriorities:
** When Ethan Omaker tells the Governor that he is chasing two violent, escaped female criminals, the Governor is most interested in [[DirtyOldMan whether or not they are cute and what they are wearing.]] [[note]] (Fun, modern, easily recognisable [[IconicOutfit Iconic Outfits]] [[RetroUniverse with a mild seventies style to them.)

** Darryl Dickinson ins't really that concerned about the well-being of his wife, he's just annoyed by the fact that nobody is cooking dinner for him anymore.
* ShownTheirWork: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] The players use Google Maps to ensure that the roads their characters take are plausible.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Harlan, barely. In the original movie, he was simply shot dead. Here, Louise gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown which he ''does'' survive, though he is disfigured and likely crippled for life.]]
* StockholmSyndrome: Louise asks Thelma if she has it. She claims that she doesn't, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint but it's a city she's always wanted to visit.]]
* UnreliableNarrator:
** During his first meeting with Thelma, J.D. claims that his [[ThereAreNoCoincidences mother was named Thelma... and Louise.]] Later, he claims that this was actually his stepmother's name, and that his real mother was named Saguaro, just like the cactus the ladies were just talking about.
** Harlan also claims that Louise was an AxCrazy HystericalWoman who attacked him for no reason after he kindly took care of her drunk friend, [[SlutShaming and possibly refused her offers of sex, he says that he doesn't quite remember.]] ([[AmbiguousSituation It's unclear if his mind is hazy enough for him to actually have a SelfServingMemory regarding the event, or if he is just playing the blame game.]] [[GenreBlind Whatever the case is, Detective Slocumb apparently believes his story completely.]])
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Discussed. Just before Thelma and Louise go out in their blaze of glory, Carolyn asks for reassurance that none of the police manning the blockade are going to become collateral damage, and mentions that she always hates it when random extras get killed off in action scenes, because they're people too who probably have families and everything.
* WouldNotHitAGirl: The Governor really doesn't want to have two women shot, [[GirlOnGirlIsHot especially not when they're kissing.]] [[PoorCommunicationKills Unfortunately, they don't get the memo.]]
