30 Minutes or Less is an action-Black Comedy, starring Jesse Eisenberg (Nick Davis), Aziz Ansari (Chet Flanning), Danny McBride (Dwayne Mikowlski), and Nick Swardson (Travis Cord), Dilshad Vadsaria (Kate Flanning), Michael Peña (Chango), Bianca Kajlich (Juicy) and directed by Ruben Fleischer, who also did Zombieland.Two slackers named Dwayne and Travis want to make a hundred thousand dollars quickly so they can hire an assassin to kill Dwayne's father, the Major, and get his inheritance money. Eventually, they come up with a sensible idea: order a pizza, have it delivered, kidnap the pizza man, strap a bomb to his chest, and force him to rob a bank or the bomb will detonate. The unfortunate delivery man, Nick, teams up with his best friend Chet, whom he recently had a falling out with when he confessed that he had slept with Chet's sister, to get the job done.The plot resembles the Real Life story of Brian Wells, who was killed when the bomb was detonated. However, the producers deny having prior knowledge of this incident. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| 30 Minutes or Less / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Early on, Nick mentions a new laser pointer he bought Chet. During the climax, Chet uses it to trick Dwayne and Travis into thinking Nick's got a sniper backing him up so that they can escape. Kate mentions early on that she lives very close to the pizza place Nick works at. Later, Nick takes advantage of the short distance to sneak off to talk to her while Chet thinks he's in the restaurant. | |

| 30 Minutes or Less / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Chet is also shown to deal with his students in pointlessly cruel ways, humiliating one of them on a personal level just for texting in class. On the other hand, this is Truth in Television for many teachers. They'll read the note out loud in order to embarrass a student into not doing it again. | |

| 30 Minutes or Less / int_57c004fc | comment |
Threat Backfire: The reason why Dwayne and Travis decide to kidnap Kate. Once they call Nick to tell him where to go drop the money, Nick is so fed up from all he's had to endure during the day (and is pretty sure that they won't give him the disarm code) that he tells them where to shove it. | |

Good All Along: After Chongo decides to kill Dwayne, he breaks into his house and runs into The Major. The Major refuses to tell Chongo where his son is, even after being told Chongo was hired by Dwayne to kill him. The Major's pretty much just your basic, fed-up-dad-with-layabout-son type of character, he's just more mean about it because he's a retired Marine. | |

Karma Houdini: Dwayne and Travis don't get the money, but they survive their injuries, and even manage to open up their tanning salon/prostitution ring. Nick and Chet get away with robbing a bank. Well they don't get caught or identified but they ended up with only an ink bag... which will likely get them busted and with the bomb destroyed they have little evidence proving they were coerced, but they still got away scot free for stealing their neighbors car and trashing it. If taken as canon a Deleted Scene (one that also explains how Dwayne opened the salon) shows that Nick, Chet and Kate did get away with most of the money and the boys are living in a fancy hotel while Kate takes her position at the Four Seasons. Juicy, who came up with the idea of murdering The Major in the first place and who actually does try and kill Chet and Nick also gets away scot free and without even the severe injuries the other surviving bad guys end up with. | |

30 Minutes, or It's Free!: The customers at Vito's Pizza love to abuse this trope. Unfortunately for Nick, customers tend to abuse this policy from calling from places that make such a time-frame nearly impossible.

What the Hell, Hero?: Chet and Nick give this to each other multiple times, with Chet angry about Nick sleeping with his sister and Nick angry about Chet telling someone about Nick's mom having an affair, which led to word of it spreading around and leading to Nick's parents splitting up. Travis later gives this to Dwayne, while changing the codes on the remote detonator, after Dwayne plans on cutting his losses and blowing Nick up. | |

World of Jerkass: Almost everyone is a complete Jerkass willing to break the law. The only one with a clear conscience is Kate. | |

Indy Ploy: They have ten hours before the bomb goes off, but that's still a pretty small amount of time Chet and Nick have to come up with a way to rob a bank. Which they successfully pull off. | |

Hate Sink | |
| 30 Minutes or Less / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Christopher, the "Pizza Boss", is Nick Davis’s greedy and both emotionally and verbally abusive employer at Vito’s Pizza. When Nick is about to end his shift, Christopher makes him deliver the last minute order (that will inadvertently end up getting Nick the bomb strapped to his chest) by also threatening to take it out of his paycheck if he’s late doing so. In a deleted scene that would’ve happened earlier, Christopher also fires Nick for tricking customers into paying him despite being late (which Nick points out it’s an unrealistic gimmick anyway) and then guilts Nick into staying only to begin degrading and berating him again until Nick eventually does quit and tell him off later on. | |

Strapped to a Bomb | |

Strapped to a Bomb: Plot being... well, being strapped to a bomb. And then being ordered to rob a bank or else be allowed to explode. | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor: In the form of a gag Chet does about Netflix. Retroactively, since the movie became available on the service more than nine years after its release. | |

Jerkass | |
| 30 Minutes or Less / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Chongo, Juicy, The Major, Nick at first, and especially Dwayne. Chet is also shown to deal with his students in pointlessly cruel ways, humiliating one of them on a personal level just for texting in class. On the other hand, this is Truth in Television for many teachers. They'll read the note out loud in order to embarrass a student into not doing it again. Pizza Boss Christopher is shown to be this given his verbal and emotional manipulation of Nick. | |

NO INDOOR VOICE | |
| 30 Minutes or Less / int_f15c2859 | comment |
No Indoor Voice: Dwayne tends to yell quite a lot. Given that he's played by Danny McBride, it's rather expected. | |

Product Placement | |
| 30 Minutes or Less / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Nissan must have paid a lot of money to show off that nicely restored Datsun. Also Arby's and 5-Hour Energy drinks. A small bit of McDonald's too with the drink cup Dwayne holds early on. All laptops seem to be Sony Vaio. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| 30 Minutes or Less / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: While the money ends up being booby-trapped (or at least only part of it if the extended ending is taken into account), Nick and Chet get out alive and Nick confessed his love to Kate. The post credits scene shows that Dwayne, Travis, and the Major survived and started their own successful tanning salon business. | |

Brick Joke | |
| 30 Minutes or Less / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Early on, Travis makes a terrible attempt at a "That's what she said" joke when he and Dwayne are cleaning The Major's pool. Near the end, Travis makes a successful one right before he presumably succumbs to his injuries. Nick and Chet pretend to be Hispanic to pull off their robbery. Not too long later, the news broadcast covering the robbery refers to them as Hispanic. Bank teller Sandra slips a dye pack into the first bag of money she retrieves for Nick and Chet. When it goes off in a customer's face, they force her to fill a second bag. Turns out she slipped a dye pack into that bag too. | |
