Do Not Do This Cool Thing | |
| Holy Man / int_4fb60159 | comment |
Do Not Do This Cool Thing: Invoked. Hayman manages to increase sales by ironically exploiting G causing chaos on the infomercial sets to tech people they don't need more things in their life as a "hey, look at how happy he is! Get this stuff to reach the same enlightenment!" | |

But Now I Must Go: The film ends with G, after bringing some spiritual enlightenment (and a lot of chaos) to Hayman's life, continuing his pilgrimage. | |

Abusive Advertising | |
| Holy Man / int_f9d43e10 | comment |
Abusive Advertising: Not to the customer, and he actually is trying to preach the reverse, but try to explain to poor Morgan Fairchild that when G uses the anti-wrinkling device she is hooked to to electrocute the crap out of her and gets a massive increase in sales. | |
