* AnAesop: It's better to be focused on the now than to be worried about the future.



* WeWinBecauseYouDidnt: Despite having wound up with fake tickets themselves, the kids were satisfied that Tammy and Jocelyn ''also'' had fakes, which was their original intention.

* BadLiar: As usual, Louise's interest in Boyz 4 Now is incredibly obvious, and her attempts at lying border on pitiful.

As usual, Louise's interest in Boyz 4 Now is incredibly obvious, and her attempts at lying border on pitiful.pitiful.
** Teddy's attempt to get Bob and Linda to reconcile with his fake story about his Handyman Jamboree is so obvious to the two the moment they sing his weird letter about whistling and TrillingRs. He still doesn't realize they knew it was all made-up.
* BerserkButton: After being shown up by Tammy's time capsule, Tina gets instantly infuriated when she's told about it and lashes out with rage, which Louise weaponizes to get Tina to do the digging. When the girls get into an argument after Tina dug out and buried ''both'' time capsules, she asks Louise if she could push her button to dig out her time capsule fast (again) to bury the (fake) tickets, only Louise refuses, to Tina's dismay.



* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Bob asks who is going to chaperone the girls to the concert (he hastily says "not it"), Louise tells him that he can come as long as he pays $300 for a ticket. He quickly tells Tina to do it because he believes in her.



** Tina putting nearly damn everyone's items in the "Maybe" pile (which no one believes will get into the time capsule) causes everyone to happily support Tammy's time capsule in droves.

* DrunkWithPower: Tina becomes way too picky in choosing the right items to put into the time capsule that she's described as this.



* JerkassBall: With Susmita's exception, every girl involved with the time capsule is at their absolute worst, with only Tina barely dropping the ball past her time capsule duty.



* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The time capsule has a note in it, but between fifty years of being buried and a ton of bugs chewing through it, the paper falls apart in Tina's hands right after she reads the opening line.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Hypocrite}}: Louise states that leaving fake tickets in the time capsule won't hurt anyone. When Susmita basically quotes the same ideology, having done the same thing, Louise growls it's not "a victimless crime".

* StylisticSucks: Discussed; both the original time capsule and Tina's time capsule end up being a whole lot of nothing.

* AdultsAreUseless: Like usual, Frond is ''no'' help when the Time Capsule debacle gets out of hand, abdicating all responsibility when Tammy starts her own un-authorized capsule.
--> '''Frond''': I can't stop Tammy from making a Time Capsule. I can barely stop that one kid from keeping bees in his locker. There'll just be two time-capsules; yours, which is the authorized, official one, and then the cool one that people would wanna be in.

*** Furthermore, Henry is one of the very few people to have outwitted Louise, having done so in "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS512TheMilliechurianCandidate The Millie-churian Candidate]]". This time it’s Henry's girlfriend Susmita who beats Louise at her own game. Either Henry taught her some tricks or they're even more perfect for each other than it seemed.

* ImagineSpot: Tina has one of the current Wagstaff time capsule being dug up. Mr. Frond is somehow still alive fifty years later (which Tina lampshades) before immediately dropping dead after the time capsule is revealed.
