Pops tries to get on the gameshow "Win That Prize," but ends up climbing the corporate TV studio ladder by accident.

* AbsurdPhobia: On the show "Roger!," the guest on the show, Ven, has a fear of pineapples.
* AndIMustScream: The President of YZB Studios is forced to watch every show the studio puts out. The only way they're allowed out of their job is when they die.
* ChekhovsSkill: Scabby Grossman's zombie gait is used by Pops when he sneaks his way out while disguised as Scabby.
* ContinuityNod: Pops drinks milk to celebrate his escape from YZB Studios, it being his drink of choice since "[[Recap/RegularShowS04Ep07GuysNight Guy's Night]]".
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Pops is shown climbing the ranks of YZB Studios, having helped invent 120+ shows just from saying "good show."
* FakingTheDead: Pops fakes his own death with a life-sized copy of his body so he can finally go on "Win That Prize."
* ForWantOfANail: If Pops had just waited for the security guard to give him a map to "Win That Prize," he wouldn't have suffered being made into the President of YZB Studios.
* GratuitousSpanish: The Spanish-speaking show Pops ends up in, "El Popote Corto," is translated as "The Short Straw." The male lead on the show says "­¡Tú amigo tiene un grande cabeza!", or "Your friend has a big head!"
* IDieFree: The President of YZB Studios makes Pops the new President before dying of old age.
* LatexPerfection: Pops wears a ''Film/MissionImpossibleFilmSeries''-worthy mask that lets him not only perfectly imitate Scabby Grossman, but fit over his giant head.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Gregson Ramses is modeled after Creator/GordonRamsay, being a HarshTalentShowJudge chef.
* ShoutOut:
** "Roger!" is an in-universe copy of shows like ''Series/TheJerrySpringerShow'' or ''Series/{{Maury}}''.
** Pops' big reveal at the end is like Keyzer Soze's at the end of ''Film/TheUsualSuspects''.
* WhamLine: Scabby Grossman drops a bomb to Vice President Lamprey about Pops.
-->'''Grossman:''' I didn't get to go on "Win That Prize."
* YoungerThanTheyLook: The President of YZB Studios looks like an old man, but is really a boy who got lost on the studio tour and ended up in the same situation as Pops: rapidly promoted up to the President, having aged rapidly from the stress of running a TV studio.
