* OneLastSong: {{Subverted}}. The Multi-Bear asks to listen to his favorite song, "Disco Girl" by [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed [=BABBA=]]], while Dipper kills him. However, because Dipper also likes the song, he refuses to kill the Multi-Bear.



* RealMenEatMeat: To the point where a bag of jerky tells Dipper he's inadequate, the smell of which summons Chutzpar. Exaggerated with Leaderaur, who eats [[MonstrousCannibalism another Manotaur]].

crosswicking a new trope

Added DiffLines:

* TestOfPain: One of the tests that the Manotaurs give Dipper in order to prove his manliness is to stick his hand in the hole of pain. He does so reluctantly, and [[ScreamDiscretionShot can be heard screaming offscreen]].

Blade On A Stick is a disambig

* GuiltyPleasures: Dipper loves bubblegum pop, like BABBA ("Disco Girl"), but doesn't admit it to the Manotaurs until the end of the episode. The vinyl soundtrack album features a full version of the very Abbas like song, with caustic commentary by Crinkle Stan.

* SeriesContinuityError: Mabel (along with Stan) doesn't consider Dipper manly but in "[[Recap/GravityFallsS1E4TheHandThatRocksTheMabel The Hand That Rocks The Mabel]]", she claims the reason why she liked hanging out with Gideon so much was that she could do girly stuff with him, something she couldn't do with Dipper because he was always doing boy stuff with Soos.

Song titles go in quotes and aren't italicized.


* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: BABA is clearly based on {{Music/ABBA}}, and the song featured in this episode is a parody of their song ''Dancing Queen.''

Cry Cute now dewicked


* CryCute: Much at the cost of his masculinity, [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m74cff48SN1rnf5opo4_250.gif Dipper]].
-->'''Woman''': ''(bumped into by Dipper)'' Oh, I'm sorry. I was looking for the mailman.\\
'''Dipper''': Oh, what? Are you saying I'm ''not'' a male man? Is that what you're trying to say? I'm not male, I'm- I'm not a man? Is that- is that what you're getting at?\\
'''Woman''': Are you ''crying''?

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope

Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke: After storming out of the diner, Dipper passes by a broken fire hydrant, with Sheriff Blubs noting that fire hydrants all over the town keep breaking for no apparent reason. Later, during Dipper's TrainingMontage, one of the Manotaurs is seen smashing a fire hydrant to use it as a drinking fountain, revealing that they're the ones responsible for all the broken hydrants.

Added DiffLines:

* LastRequest: After Dipper bests the Multibear, it accepts its fate and asks only that it be allowed to listen to its favourite song as it dies. Dipper agrees and, [[CommonalityConnection upon realising that the Multibear also listens to BABBA]], realises he can't bring himself to kill it.


Added DiffLines:

* RunningGag: The credits cryptogram for the episode reads: "PU. FDHVDULDQ ZLOO EH RXW QHAW ZHHN. PU. DWEDVK ZLOO VXEVWLWXWH.". When decrypted, it reads: "MR. CAESARIAN WILL BE OUT NEXT WEEK. MR. ATBASH WILL SUBSTITUTE." In other words, future cryptograms will use the Atbash cipher instead of the Caesar cipher used thus far.

Added DiffLines:

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Stan gets a chance with Lazy Susan, but she turns out to be annoying, clingy, and too zany for him and he's quickly left praying for her to stop calling him.


Added DiffLines:

* GirlOfTheWeek: PlayedWith. Lazy Susan continues as a recurring character, but Stan quickly loses romantic interest in her and their relationship never goes any further (though their first date is seen in a later episode in a flashback) than it does here.


Added DiffLines:

* StatusQuoIsGod: Susan agrees to start dating Stan, but Stan almost immediately gets sick of her and calls it off, removing any impact Stan having a love interest would have on the show.

* FatFlex: A funny variation happens during the training montage: a clip of Mabel showing Stan how to suck in his gut is immediately followed by a clip of Dipper and the Manotaurs relaxing and letting their bellies drop.



** When Chutzpaur firet meets Dipper and Dipper mentions he is having emotional issues, the manotaur listens to him as he voices his concerns, foreshadowing the Aesop that manliness isn't all about violence and physical strength.
