Cult of Personality | |
In Good Company / int_63fa5d78 | comment |
Cult of Personality: The CEO of GlobeCom, Teddy K, has managed to achieve this. Staff members get ridiculously excited when he visits somewhere, and computers in the office even flash a message to this effect. | |

Henpecked Husband: Morty's wife starts out wearing the pants. As the movie goes on, he worries that she's gonna wear the tie and jacket too. Later we learn that she gives him his own allowance, and he suspects that she's slowly poisoning him to death. | |

The Only Believer | |
In Good Company / int_79bfd876 | comment |
The Only Believer: The world of advertising is portrayed as being full of people who are just trying to make a buck by making people buy things they really don't need. Dan Foreman on the other hand is in this because he believes he's really helping people make the best decision for their businesses and futures. | |

Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: And how. At various points, Dan threatens to drop kick his potential son-in-law across the restaurant, hunt him down and neuter him. He also tells his daughter that he has wired the house with video surveillance. | |

Naked People Are Funny: Or mostly naked people. When Dan figures out his family is throwing a surprise birthday party, he walks into the house wearing nothing but his boxer shorts. Everyone laughs except his youngest daughter, who freaks out. | |

Informed Flaw: One of the reasons Carter gives for firing Louie is sexual harassment, but this aspect of his character is never shown in the film (although some deleted scenes hint at it). | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
In Good Company / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Dan is a straight shooter who hates all the corporate speak, especially telling people that they are being "let go" when they really don't want to go. Of course, when it's his turn to fire people, he realises the benefits of trying to let people down more gently. It doesn't work, of course, as they have no idea what he means. | |

Hope Spot | |
In Good Company / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Initially, it seems as if the threatened mass layoffs will be avoided, and Carter will be able to get away with just firing the Pointy-Haired Boss serving under him. However, several scenes later, Carter's boss demands that he start "letting people go" left and right. Related to those layoffs, it looks as if a cross-promotional deal might be able to prevent them, and the executive and Dan meet with seems receptive. Then he explains that his new parent company is feuding with Teddy K and won't let them do business. | |
