  • Leo gets a voiceover mocking the nature of a Who Murdered the Asshole whodunit setup right before he gets murdered himself after being the biggest asshole in the room.
  • Right before being killed, Leo tries to escape out a prop door that leads to a brick wall.
  • After a flashback scene ends, Mervyn complains about how lazy and unnecessary flashbacks are to a movie.
  • Stalker uses Food as Bribe methods to get information on her new boss from another cop, and asks the name of the former Mrs. Stoppard. The other cop takes another cookie and then replies that her name was "Mrs. Stoppard."
  • A dream hallucination of the victim asks Stoppard if the victim was anyone he knew.
  • Stalker breaks down a door seconds before she would have gotten the key.
  • The entirety of the flashback scene of Köpernick describing his version of the climax of his version of The Mousetrap. To put it simply, it has more in common with a cop action flick than an Agatha Christie adaptation (with some lampshading by Köpernick, who assumes Viewers Are Morons as "the audience only ever remembers the last 20 minutes."). The kicker though is when Mervyn points out a plot hole.
    Mervyn: How does he get the gun?
    Köpernick: He's a cop!
    Woolf: Uh, police are not armed in England.
    Köpernick: What? How do they kill the bad guys?
    Mervyn: They don't. They ask them to stop in the name of the law.
  • After Attenborough admits that the play isn’t that good, the theater owner makes an annoyed glare at him even though the suspects are all being held at gunpoint at that point.
