Dangerously Close Shave: Played for a gag in a scene where Sam cringes while watching a man try to shave himself on a shaking, bouncing train, with a giant straight razor.

Comedic Sociopathy: The only explanation for the utter lack of interest shown by the other man in the train's men's room, after observing that Sam is about to kill himself.

And a Diet Coke: Alcohol-related example. After filling a whole glass—not a cocktail glass or anything, but a whole dinner glass—almost to the rim with liquor, Sam dilutes it with a single drop of water.
