* {{Jerkass}}: Spencer Blankenship clearly doesn't care for his students as much as he says he does, down to not caring about their names, point-blank calling them bad, and telling them to give up on their dancing dreams. Zeke's cousin Leslie used to ''love'' dancing, but Spencer's seminar completely broke him.

*KafkaKomedy: The entire episode drags Bob through the mud so much you'd think [[CosmicPlaything the universe was actively working against him]].



* ThrowTheDogABone: After an entire episode of being BornUnlucky to the point you'd think the universe was actively working against him, Bob finally catches a homer--and not counting a brief tug-of-war, he manages to get it on his own without anyone's charity.
