*YoungerThanTheyLook: Bronconius ''believes'' he plays the trope straight, claiming he's a 49 year-old who looks 20. In reality it's averted; he's 49 and looks 49.

* EmbarrassingTattoo: When Bronconius discovers that Bob isn't a real equesticle, he plans on humiliating him by having a large, embarrassing tattoo on his back. The tattoo is a picture of a horse with Bob's face on its butt. Tina is able to stop them in time but he still gets a tattoo which is just a nose with a mustache. And in an aversion of NegativeContinuity, later episodes that show Bob's back reveal he still hasn't gotten the tattoo removed.
