* TheAllegedCar: Jonas often has difficulty starting his moped. Teddy throwing it into the ocean likely doesn't help.



* ChekhovsGun: The burger conference has large jars of condiments. Near the end of the episode, Bob and Linda dump two of them in the hot tub as part of their feud with the other forum members.

* EpicFail: Bob claims to have no idea how to put "JK" or "[=LOL=]" in his forum comments, which the other chefs don't believe. Later on, Bob shouts "[=LOL=]! Laugh On Loudly!" after he dumps condiments into the hotel jacuzzi, indicating he really doesn't understand what "[=LOL=]" stands for.

* IsThisThingStillOn: Bob calls to tell Teddy that he and Linda are coming home early. Teddy tells the kids they have fifteen minutes to rush home and pretend everything's fine. Bob informs Teddy that he heard this.



** Bob tries to defend his comments by saying he doesn't know how to put "JK" or "[=LOL=]" in his comments. The chefs refuse to believe someone could be that inept and think he's lying.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Ranger Dainko is willing to let Tina go, he just needs Teddy to sign the mandatory paperwork. Even when Teddy pisses him off by [[TheDitz continually misunderstanding where to sign the paperwork]], Dainko just leaves and doesn't punish Tina for it.
** Teddy himself is the most reasonable of the Belcher babysitters, only getting into trouble because Tina runs off. Jen is so easily cowed (usually) that the kids can force her into almost anything, whereas Gayle is nuttier than a fruitcake and easily led into similarly wacky circumstances. Tina gets a pass for being young but even she can be pushed into hijinks if boys are involved. On the other hand, this isn't saying much; Teddy feeds Gene and Louise candy and soda and almost let's Louise use his blowtorch. He's similarly mostly responsible when he babysits in "Zero Larp Thirty;" there, the main problem is his back going out. Otherwise his weekend plans sounded perfectly acceptable.

* HatedByAll: Bob discovers he's this on the burger forum, due to the other chefs believing he's an obnoxious creep thanks to his poorly worded comments.



* NoSocialSkills: Bob believes he's very popular with a group of burger chefs he considers friends online, only to be shocked when he learns they all hate him. This turns out to be due to Bob's complete lack of understanding internet etiquette which in turn meant all his attempts to be friendly and give helpful advice backfired because he unintentionally made it sound like he was bullying and insulting the other chefs.
* NotHelpingYourCase: The burger chefs all treat Bob like garbage because they thought he was bullying them. Even if Bob truly was being accidentally rude to them, none of ''them'' ever thought to simply tell him to stop or tried to have him banned from the forum for misconduct. They're all legitimately surprised he had the nerve to show up when they could've told him he wasn't welcome long before that weekend happened. That they go out of their way to harass him and Linda when they're minding their own business shows they're far worse.
