*NoNameGiven: The movie that the kids' stories are based on is never given a name. Somehow, neither were the characters (even though they made it far enough into the movie for a BigDamnKiss), as the kids have to make up their own names (hence "Scottjon Dansteve" and "Princess Paula [=McCartney=]").

* FlatCharacter: Since the kids know next to nothing about soccer or soccer hooligans, Scottjon's best friend Johnny Nottinghill who is one of the latter naturally ends up like this: he's watching soccer, sitting in a pub or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs watching soccer sitting in a pub]] in all his apperances, he assists Scottjon in Gene's story by repeatedly kicking soccer balls at the beefeater chasing them and Louise doesn't even remember his name and has Scottjon call him "Johnny Something-face" and his greeting to Princess Paula McCartney is "Ello and football".

* BabiesEverAfter: Both Tina and Louise's stories end with the princess having children. The father in Tina's story is unknown (it can't be the tour guide because he's dead), while in Louise's story the tour guide is the father.

The father in Tina's story is unknown (it unknown[[note]]it can't be the tour guide because he's dead), dead, and several of the kids appear to be different races, suggesting multiple fathers and/or adoption[[/note]], while in Louise's story the tour guide is the father.father.
*BittersweetEnding: Tina's story, prior to Louise retconning it into a DarkestHour. Paula lives a happy life and avoids her ArrangedMarriage, but loses the love of her life in the process.


Added DiffLines:

*BrickJoke:
**In Gene's story, he refers to Big Ben as a man and not the landmark, which Bob calls out. In Louise's story, she mentions that ''both'' of them were sucked up by the laundry-nado.
**Before seeing the movie, the kids note that Bob starts out not into rom-coms before crying at the end. Sure enough, at the end of the episode Bob is briefly seen crying.


Added DiffLines:

*MeaningfulEcho: Scottjon and Paula's argument in Louise's story is Bob and Linda's argument from the beginning word-for-word, with Louise playing it up as petty and stupid to drill it into her parents' heads.


Added DiffLines:

*TheOtherDarrin: In-universe; while Scottjon and Paula retain their voice actors from the in-universe movie, the other characters in the story are voiced by whoever is currently narrating.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The British do use miles per hour instead of kilometers.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: The kids' grasp of what London is like is spotty at best. The most egregious example is on Tina's version, where a ship is hit by a giant wave on the river Thames; even Linda, who is game for everything else, isn't on board with that one.

** Bob does point out that London Bridge is actually Tower Bridge. Though, he does make the common mistake that Big Ben is the clock tower; it is actually the bell that chimes the hour and the tower itself is called the Elizabeth Tower.

* AuthorFilibuster: Each of the Belcher kids' stories have piles of dirty laundry as obstacles for the lovers (Linda and Bob's argument that morning was about Bob leaving his clothes on the floor) and have them saved by broken beds, which is followed by either the narrator or the characters talking about how great they are (in the hopes that it makes Bob and Linda forgive them for breaking their bed). When Louise tells her story, Bob is already anticipating this, so [[RuleOfThree she foregoes the broken bed]] and instead has the Queen talking about how great buying a new bed is.
