* MaintainTheLie: Bob and Linda told the kids that the Wheelie Mammoth was donated to a roller rink to help teach orphans how to skate. When they find it for sale at the flea market, they buy it before the kids find it; then, when Louise asks to go see the Mammoth at the roller rink, Linda and Gayle have to drive it to the rink before Bob gets there with the kids and convince the rink manager to play along. The plan actually goes off without a hitch, largely because the rink manager isn't a stranger to making up elaborate lies to his children to make them behave (such as faking an endoscopy picture showing a bubblegum inside someone's stomach to support the urban legend about it being undigestible and staying in stomach for years), up until Linda lets it slip that her parents lied to Gayle about her "immortal" goldfish, prompting her to spill the beans.

*TheDitz: As usual, Gene shows his ignorance of Bob and Linda's love life, this time by assuming one of them plans to propose marriage to the other.
*FreudianExcuse: Discussed; Bob points out that Gloria and Al constantly lying to Gayle probably led to her turning out to be, well, [[ObnoxiousInLaws Gay]][[WomanChild le]].

On a trip to the flea market, Bob and Linda are haunted by a lie they told the kids about what happened to their beloved stuffed animal, Wheelie Mammoth.

* AllForNothing: All the effort Bob and Linda put into deceiving their children fails when the kids catch on. This means Bob is forced to give away ''30'' free burgers to the vendor for nothing ''and'' he and Linda learn the kids would have accepted the truth in the first place anyway.
* TheBusCameBack: The Wheelie Mammoth from "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS9E2TheTakingOfFuntimeOneTwoThree The Taking of Funtime One Two Three]]" returns. There is also an explanation of why it wasn't seen since its premiere episode; Bob and Linda gave it away after the kids got bored with it because it was taking up too much space.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Bob and Linda would have avoided a lot of drama and effort if they had just told the kids the truth about what they did with the Wheelie Mammoth when it happened, instead of scrambling to come up with an elaborate lie to temporarily placate them.
* DoYouWantToHaggle: Bob tries to buy Wheelie Mammoth for $10 (all the cash he has on hand). The vendor counters with $90. Bob's next offer is the $10 cash and the rest in the free burgers. She comes back asking for 30 free burgers, which Bob tells her is more than the $80 dollar difference. With no other option, except telling his kids the truth, Bob gives in.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Gayle, normally one of the most selfish people around, is absolutely disgusted when she finds out Gloria, Al and Linda had been lying to her all this time about her pet goldfish being immortal. To that end, Gayle angrily refuses to allow Linda and Bob to lie to the kids about the Wheelie Mammoth and exposes the truth.
