Much if the comedy lies in the presentation and deconstruction of social stereotypes. The film starts with a typical amateurish realtor advisement, with the realtor strutting and uttering stock phrases about his promise to "find the right house for you". As part of his ploy to attract clients he also offers free meal tickets if he can"t find the perfect house within thirty days. Structurally, the film is also held together by a humorous play on words. The central phrase used in the opening sequence and repeated throughout, is the promise of "more bang for your buck". This common phrase meaning more value for money is ironically and shockingly changed in meaning as the film progresses. .

             The film begins with two ordinary people trying to take advantage of the realtor by pretending to be interested in a house to get the free meal tickers. As part of the comedy this is lightly amusing as they are perpetrating a rather innocuous and petty scam. Their rationale they use to justify their actions is that the realtor makes enough money. This type of selfish and easy logic makes the two clients seem small and petty. While we laugh, the laughter is directed at the small mindedness of the two clients. However, underlying this comedy of pettiness is the more serious social comment. They are taking advantage of the realtor's time and work. The implied comic irony is that the realtor, who is stereotypically often depicted as taking advantage of the client, is now the victim of his own boastful promises. Underlying the comedy is the realization that in society no one really cares about the other person.

             When the clients enter the realtor's office they turn down the latest house offer, even though the realtor has met all their requirements. They demand their free meals. This is the crucial moment in the film. The comedy lies essentially in the shock of unexpected actions. The realtor, obviously aware that he is being taken advantage of, reacts differently to conventional expectations.
