History Recap / BobsBurgersS12E5SeventweenAgain

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Miss Erica points out that she knew from the start that Gene wasn't seven, because she knows what kids look like.

** The exterminator van is "[[Film/InglouriousBasterds In-Gory-ous Bugsters]]".

* KiddieKid: Somewhat deconstructed for Gene in this episode. While initially he has fun pretending to be seven again and indulging in his more little-kiddie habits, after a few days he starts getting a little frustrated with his "peers'" relative immaturity and realizes that he can't quite relate to them as much as he thought. Childish as he often acts, he ''is'' still a preteen, with his priorities and interests having grown along with him, and he can't derive lasting satisfaction from the activities and social interactions of younger kids.

* MundaneSolution: Gene eventually gets tired of Kids Club, but Miss Erika won’t let him leave without getting signed out by an adult even though she knew the truth about his age the whole time and Gus (who Gene has been using as an adult to sign him out) isn’t at the community center that day. Gene calls Louise and asks her and Tina to dress up as Gus to get him signed out. Louise knows that won’t work, so she goes to Bob and explains the whole situation to him so ''he'' can get Gene signed out.

** The exterminator van is "[[Film/IngloriousBasterds In-Gory-ous Bugsters]]".

** The second Burger of the Day is the "[[Film/FullMetalJacket Full Nettle Jacket Burger]]".
** The third Burger of the Day is the "[[Music/SirMixALot Baby Got Bok-Choy Burger]]".

** The exterminator van is "[[Film/IngloriousBasterds In-Gory-ous Busters]]".

!!Tropes:

* MistakenForRomance: Gene and Louise think Miss Erica is flirting with Bob after she compliments his haircut, and simultaneously tell her that he's taken.

* MundaneSolution: When Gene tries to get out of Kids Club after getting tired of it, he calls Louise and asks her and Tina to dress up as Gus. Louise knows that won’t work, so she goes to Bob and explains the whole situation so ''he'' can get Gene out.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Miss Erica (the teacher in charge of Kids' Club) notes that Gene is quite big for a seven year-old (which, of course, Gene isn't, but he fools her into thinking he is--or so he thinks).

* SilverFox: Gene refers to Gus as his "silver fox father" so he can be signed out of Kids' Club.

* OpeningShoutOut: Subverted; the Store Next Door is plot-relevant, but it's actually a completely different business from the opening.

** The Store Next Door is "It Had To Be Ewe", a reference to "It Had To Be You", a song from the 1920's (or, alternatively, [[SimilarlyNamedWorks two novels, four movies, or a TV show]]).

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: As Bob lampshades, the kids keep using the word "pube" to describe chest hair.
