Tropes used in The Game Plan include:

• Every Year They Fizzle Out
• Everybody Is Single: Except for Sanders, and he's initially teased for going home early to his wife and kids.
• Fridge Brilliance: Why does Joe Like Elvis Presley? He's a king just like he is. Also, say Joe Kingman five times fast. Joking Man. I don't know if this was intentional but it fits with his personality.
