Madness Mantra: As all the other characters eventually realize that Jason forced Johnson into a fight to the death, various pieces of dialogue from earlier in the movie have been mutated primarily into repetitions of the lines "Battle royales will have a fight to the death as the last round" and "Try your hardest and you might just win a battle or two." | |

Brainwashed and Crazy: Jason became the jerk he was after unknowingly digesting a glass of apple juice with a small drop of a broken heart inside. After that, he started bossing everyone around and forced Emily to work for him lest she and her family perish. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Bad Times at the Battle Royale / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Near the start of the Ping-Pong match, after Chris P. Bacon mentions how the contest is held in a place of worship, Dick Dickenson replies with "We didn't have the funds, OK?" The 50 second timer for the Hide-and-Seek match doesn't actually run for 50 seconds, something that Dick Dickenson finds unusual. After the 50-second timer magically resumes right before the seeker reveals themselves: | |

| Bad Times at the Battle Royale / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Right after Jason leaves his secret hideout to announce his intentions to fight Johnson in the final round, Emily eventually follows suit with a water bottle. Might not seem like much, but it becomes instrumental when Emily throws that same bottle of Rejuvajuice at Jason's face in an effort to Beat the Curse Out of Him and remove the traces of a broken heart within his system. | |

Ironic Echo: Literally. Before unveiling the quiz show, Emily notes that "most battle royales will have a fight to the death as the last round" before subverting those expectations with the quiz show reveal. Later, as part of the haunted ambience after Jason forced Johnson into a fight to the death, one of the continuously repeating and echoing lines of dialogue is that very same line. | |

Non-Indicative Name: The battle royale tournament itself. According to Hélène, the fine print on the poster even acknowledges how inaccurate of a name it is. As does one of the commentators, Chris P. Bacon, at the start of the Ping-Pong match. Even the trailer calls it the "inaccurately-named yet incredibly varied battle royale tournament." | |

| Bad Times at the Battle Royale / int_41a3e267 | comment |
Hidden in Plain Sight: This is how Johnson wins the hide-and-seek match. Having an inkling that the match was rigged against him, he successfully tricks Hatsuka into hiding under the blanket covers seconds before the ghost arrives to search all the blanket covers specifically. Johnson's hiding spot? Out in the open on a patio playing video games. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Bad Times at the Battle Royale / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The movie title itself references Bad Times at the El Royale. Heng occasionally singing her sentences out loud instead of speaking them references Sven doing the same thing in the VeggieTales video Lyle the Kindly Viking. Johnson performs the Kirby Dance twice: once after winning the Ping-Pong match and once after winning the tournament as a whole after Jason's disqualification. These also serve as Bookends to the battle royale tournament as a whole. The video game Johnson plays near the end of the hide-and-seek match is Kirby and the Forgotten Land. After Jason whispers most of his cup-stacking sabotage plan to Emily, their comments of "I like it! It's sneaky! And it just...might...work!" is pulled from the very first VeggieTales video, Where's God When I'm S-Scared? Some of the various guesses by the competitors as to what round 3 would be include Super Smash Bros. and Apple Scramble. The cow-crushing scene is reminiscent of a similar one in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Shortly after that scene takes place, Johnson even refers to said moment as "getting crushed by a cow Monty Python-style." While he undergoes medical treatment after the cow crush, Johnson utters "Jamblasted!", a quotation used occasionally by Flamberge and Zan Partizanne of the Three Mage-Sisters in Kirby Star Allies. The equation "12 x 2 ÷ 2 x 2 ÷ 2 - 6 + 1" from Inanimate Insanity is one of the questions asked during Hélène and Carlos' quiz-show round. Buzz-Saw Louie, his "Billy has more toys than you!" catchphrase and the town of Puggslyville from The Toy That Saved Christmas are brought up during the quiz show round. The looping, echoing voices prior to "The Dying Swan Song" are done in the same manner as "Eternal Echo of the Thrilling Tour-our-our" from Kirby and the Forgotten Land. "The Dying Swan Song" itself is named after both the "Dying Swan" ballet popularized by Anna Pavlova and the "swan song" terminology used for someone's last hurrah in a work of art. To complete the reference, the Dying Swan ballet is performed to "Le Cygne" from "The Carnival of the Animals," which is used as background music for the song in this movie. The scene where Hatsuka is used as a battering ram to open some doors references the equivalent scene from Toy Story 2. The camera angles used are even nearly identical to the source movie in question. | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee | |
| Bad Times at the Battle Royale / int_c82e751f | comment |
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Played with. Most aspects of the hide-and-seek and cup-stacking sabotages don't exactly work because key details are said aloud by Jason. By the time the penalty shootout is about to start, Emily catches on and outright lampshades it to him. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Johnson tries this after Jason announces his intentions to kill him in a fight to the death, but fails as he realizes that he and Jason are fenced in with no escape. | |

Grief Song | |
| Bad Times at the Battle Royale / int_e680af6f | comment |
Grief Song: "The Dying Swan Song" qualifies, as it's about Emily's previous relationship with Jason before he turned evil. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: Emily appears alongside the others in the lobby prior to the start of the tournament. She doesn't play her first major role in the story until after the ping-pong match. | |

Product Placement: The cups used for the cup-stacking contest are plastic cups sold in Popeye's Supplements stores around Canada. Chris P. Bacon even mentions the supplement store by name during the commentary for the match. | |
