Recursive Reality: At the very end, the man finally catches the bug, and we see that it's actually a tiny version of himself, apparently also trying trying to find an even smaller version of itself. He kills it, only to be crushed by a giant-sized version of himself. Roll credits.

Wham Shot: We are led to believe that the man is simply trying to kill a pesky bug. It's when he finally catches it, and we see that it's a tiny version of himself, that it becomes apparent that is something else is going on.

Laser-Guided Karma: When the man finally smashes the bug that is actually a small version of himself, he is punished by a giant version of himself that smashes him..
