** During his argument with Peggy, Hank tells her that people victimize anyone who's different as he knows from experience. We get a flashback to a teenage Hank, and we're assumed to believe he was the target of bullying. But it turns out, Hank was the bully.

** And when Bobby has to leave when Hank doesn't let him walk, he tells the director that he won't get his time in the spotlight, and as he walks dejectedly, Hank stops him, then gets a poncho for him to wear until he gets in the car.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While Hank doesn't want Bobby entering the fashion show to end up being a target for bullying, Bobby counters his argument by saying he should stop trying to turn him into smaller version of himself and let him do what he truly loves.

This is your [[UsefulNotes/OlympicGames Olympic]] dream come true!" Hank cringes at the photographer's lack of football knowledge.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite Hank's shock and horror over Bobby becoming a husky model, a flashback shows that he was more than willing to mock the overweight back in his high school days. It's implied at the end, when Dooley and his gang crash the fashion show, that his own history of doing so and the results it can cause is the reason why he disapproves of Bobby's career.

Bobby gets a job as a husky male model, which Hank attempts to put a stop to so Bobby won't end up embarrassed.

!! Tropes in the episode:
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Bobby shows some shades of this, when he ends up buying an album and a bicycle helmet Hank promised to buy if he got good grades, and he pays Bill to rake the leaves, much to Hank's annoyance as it was one of Bobby's chores.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Hank insists he's trying to save Bobby from embarrassment but Bobby just responds, "Is that what you're afraid of? Or are you afraid you'll be embarrassed?"
* AssholeVictim: Most of the other husky models probably did nothing to deserve being pelted by donuts. Not so with Andy Maynard though, as he needed to be knocked down a peg or two.
* BaitAndSwitchComment:
** After Bobby learns he gets to walk first and asks what Andy Maynard thinks: "I'll tell you what Andy Maynard thinks. ... (breaks into tears) Andy Maynard always goes on first."
** And when Bobby has to leave when Hank doesn't let him walk, he tells the director that he won't get his time in the spotlight, and as he walks dejectedly, Hank stops him, then gets a poncho for him to wear until he gets in the car.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Hank sees Bobby's photo negatives, he reacts in horror over them, but Bobby thinks Hank is enthusiastic about them.
* FashionModel: Bobby becomes a husky male fashion model.
* InterruptedIntimacy: After he discovers Bobby ran away, Hank tries to find Luanne, thinking she's left a SleepingDummy, but instead finds her and Buckley sleeping together, but since he's in a hurry to get Bobby, he just tells them to kick each other's asses.
* IWasNeverHere: Hank was saying this alongside his whole family when he took Bobby away from the photo shoot.
* KarmaHoudini: Dooley and the bullies get off scot-free after raiding the fashion show.
* NewJobEpisode: Bobby works as a male model until Hank eventually puts a stop to it.
* ThePrimaDonna: Andy Maynard is this, who tries to intimidate Bobby by claiming a whole make-up counter for himself and makes him get a brownie and doesn't take it well when Bobby is announced he'll go first on the walk.
* TheScream: Hank does this when looking at Bobby's negatives and Bobby sharing one (of him wearing PJs and an open butt pouch with a cookie sheet) will make the newspaper the following day.
* SleepingDummy: Bobby makes one with a football and bed sheets, which he leaves for Hank when he runs off to the fashion show.
* WeightWoe: Happens to Bobby when he discovers the clothing store his parents took him to is a fat kid's store, but Bobby gets over it when Peggy assures him being different is good.
