History Recap / BobsBurgersS2E4Burgerboss

* AnAesop: Don't pay attention to your bullies. Darryl learns the lesson from Bob (only because he doesn't want to end up like Bob). Bob, to this day, [[BrokenAesop hasn't learned the lesson himself]] and requests Darryl to just break the high score in his stead.

* {{Determinator}}: Nothing will stop Bob from beating Jimmy's high score. He fights through sleep deprivation, carpel tunnel syndrome and full-on SanitySlippage, and when Linda resorts to moving the machine out of the restaurant Bob simply tracks it down and continues his efforts.

** Gene thinks Bob's wrist braces look like [[Franchise/SpiderMan web shooters]].

* {{Malaproper}}: Linda refers to Bob and Jimmy's rivalries as "peeing races", a mangling of "pissing contests".

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Jimmy Pesto really ''is'' a sex freak, but he has a diaper fetish (as shown in "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS1E6SheeshCabBob Sheesh! Cab, Bob?]]") rather than a "peeing race" fetish like the yacht club thinks he has.

When Jimmy Pesto uses Bob's newly bought arcade of the classic "Burgerboss" to break his record and write "Bob Sux" at the top score, Bob drives himself insane trying to get the top score.

The kids go with him to the arcade and crash into birthday parties there, while Linda believes everybody is actually having sailing lessons.

* BrickJoke: Gene asks a waiter at the yacht club for some pizza bagels. Several scenes later, the waiter shows up with one.

* MundaneSolution: Before he starts attempting to beat Pesto's high score the hard way, Bob tries unplugging and plugging the arcade machine back in to reset the high scores, but it doesn't work because the machine likely has battery backup for them and he doesn't know there's a way to reset them manually. At the end of the episode, Bob finds out how to remove "BOB SUX" from the leaderboard--simply get Darryl, already established as knowledgeable on the game, to beat the high score himself.

* WouldntHurtAChild: Despite promising Darryl that he would do so, Bob refuses to attack Tyler and initially tries to have them kiss it out. He ''does'' eventually attack him, but only after undergoing SanitySlippage and mistaking him for an enemy from the game.

!Tropes:

** The kids spouts various of these in order to break in various birthdays parties and later, the party of the Yacht Club.

* CargoShip: In-universe, Tina gets interested in a ice sculpture of Neptune, even kissing it.

* PetTheDog: The security guard at Family Funtime, after previously treating Bob as a nuisance, changes his mind when Bob returns and even pays a compliment to his kids.

** The character of ''Burgerboss'' is clearly [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] wearing an apron.

* RoadTripPlot: Discussed. No actual cross-country trips occur, but Louise off-handedly mentions that she planned to go on one with Bob, specifically one involving a lot of hitchhiking.

* WouldntHurtAChild: Despite promising Darryl that he would do so, Bob refuses to attack his bully and initially tries to have them kiss it out. He ''does'' eventually attack the bully, but only after undergoing SanitySlippage and mistaking him for an enemy from the game.

* WouldntHurtAChild: Despite promising Darryl that he would do so, Bob refuses to attack his bully and initially tries to have them talk it over. He ''does'' eventually attack the bully, but only after undergoing SanitySlippage and believing him to be an enemy from the game.

** ''Burgerboss'' is a parody of ''VideoGame/BurgerTime''.

** Jimmy Pesto is revealed to be on the top of the waiting list for the Yacht Club membership.

* ChekhovsGag: Linda off-handedly mentions the yacht club after Bob lies that he's taking the kids to sailing lessons. The yacht club is a fairly sizable plot point later in the episode, and Jimmy Pesto's driving goal is to join it.

* HonorBeforeReason: Bob could very well let Daryl break Jimmy Pesto's records and finish the entire issue there, but he decides that he needs to be the one to do it. At the end of the episode, he does end up paying Daryl to take care of it.

* MistakenForRacist: Bob believes there's a "race thing" going on between [[AmbiguouslyBrown Daryl]] and his bully, even though both state that this is not the issue.

!Tropes

* CallBack: The fact that Jimmy is a sex pervert was mentioned back in "[[Recap/BobsBurgerS1E6SheeshCabBob Sheesh! Cab, Bob?]]", though the fetishes are different.
