* DudeNotFunny: When Gene makes himself look like Bob, this is the latter's reaction.
* FriendlyRivalry: Tina, in relation to Tammy, is still cordial, nice and hopes for the success of the other as well as her own. This is one sided, as Tammy is still mean to her.
* IHaveNoSon: Gene says "I have no daughter" when Tina is called down to Mr. Frond's office. Bob agrees since Gene is literally right about that.
* InformedAttribute: Linda mentions that Tina inherited her "strong chin". Because of the show's art style, no one really has a chin. Tina even asks where her chin is.
* InsistentTerminology: Linda insists on calling the Mad Pooper "the Butt-ler".
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Tina and the school Janitor.
* KarmaHoudini: Zeke doesn't punished because "His family moves around a lot." Even though the school was totally prepared to punish Tina back when they didn't have ''any'' evidence to prove she was the Mad Pooper.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
-->'''Mr. Grant:''' Look, this news show compete for student's attention with cellphones, gossip and bathroom graffiti, we need to be faster, meaner and graffitier!
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Gene faces the fact that he looks a lot like Bob in his age, so he attempts to make himself look like what Bob looks now.
* ShoutOut:
** The title is a reference to the movie ''Film/BroadcastNews''
** When seeing an old photo of Bob, Gene thought that it was him going through a Creator/JuddNelson phase.
** When Tina is smeared as being the Mad Pooper, she tells people to "[[Film/AllThePresidentsMen follow the money]]."
* StartMyOwn: When the school news ignores the "Mad Pooper" story in favor of fluffy gossip pieces, Louise encourages Tina to start her own underground news program to cover the story.
