* '''Played For Drama''': Future-Bob makes Present-Bob worry about what he may turn into, and start trying to better himself, only to find himself turning into Future-Bob even quicker. Meanwhile, Future-Bob finds himself pining to be Present-Bob again, when times were simpler and he could afford to joke around. This leads to friction between the two characters, which culminates in one or both of them losing the trust or friendship of the other.
