* BondOneliner: Parodied. Scarn keeps saying "clean up on aisle five" after killing people. None of the movie takes place in a grocery store, has anything to do with shopping or otherwise has any context that makes that relevent.

** Played with / inverted by David Wallace in a deleted scene, who admits that he regrets ''not'' taking part when Michael asked him because at the time, as CFO, he felt it would have been embarrassing, but now honestly thinks that good or bad it would have nevertheless been a lot of fun to do.

** In the uncut version of the movie, there are several lines condemning bosses who only care about money and treat their employees bad, obviously representing Michael Scott's own opinion of what makes a bad boss and, implicitly, why he's supposedly a good boss. Also, Scarn's speech to Jasmine Windsong is clearly Michael Scott talking about himself.

* {{Narm}}: InUniverse. Michael intended for ''Threat Level Midnight'' to be a serious action movie, but between the shoddy production values, the fact that none of the actors are actual actors, the plot hole riddled writing and cliched dialogue, among other things, the whole thing falls apart and becomes an unintentional comedy akin to ''Film/TheRoom''.

* OldSchoolIntroductoryRap: A scene in Michael's movie has Billy the bartender playing "The Scarn" to cheer up Agent Scarn. While he refuses to dance along at first, he soon joins in and teaches everyone in the restaurant how to do the dance, in the form of a rap that begins with, "Well, my name is Michael Scarn and I'm here to say, I'm about to do the Scarn in a major way!"
