* AffablyEvil: While Glenn does cause oddness, and was listed as a villain on the old version of the PBS Kids website, he doesn't act evil at all. While he does revel in his oddness, he is nowhere near antagonistic to Odd Squad, and even helps them fix the odd problem he caused.

* LastSecondPhotoFailure: Otto's first ID picture has his face contorted as though he's about to sneeze, and he expresses interest in getting a new picture taken because of it. At the end of the episode, he gets a normal picture taken, but the new picture that is produced looks identical to the old one (save a shift in chin placement to the right, according to Otto himself). Olive is quick to point out how similar the two photos are, despite Otto's insistence that they are different.

* {{MockGuffin}}: Otto's new ID photo can fall under this, considering that, in an [[{{Anticlimax}} anticlimactic twist,]] it's a shameless copy of his old photo.

--> '''Oscar:''' Well I guess that too...
* ContinuityNod: The donut shop owner from [[Recap/OddSquadS1E2SoundcheckDoubleTrouble "Double Trouble"]] makes a cameo appearance in the background of the Donut Room scene.
* DeusExScuseMe: Ms. O is at karate practice for a large majority of the episode, allowing Oscar and his Oscarbots to finish the machine, go to the movies, and return only to find some missing. When Ms. O begins to wrap up her practice, [[WeNeedADistraction Oscar is forced to stall her with successful results...]] but only because of [[ContrivedCoincidence Contrived Coincidences]] that force her to stay longer.
* CombiningMecha: It's revealed that the 25 Oscarbots can combine to make a larger robot. However, its design is only shown in a ShadowDiscretionShot, and looms over Oscar and Ms. O.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Oscar seems to be oblivious to Otto's yearning for donuts throughout the episode.
--> '''Otto:''' 12 is a dozen! And we know what comes in a dozen... ''[[HandRubbing (rubs his hands together)]]''
--> '''Oscar:''' Eggs!
--> '''Olive:''' ''Donuts.'' Let's go. ''(she and Otto leave)''
--> '''Oscar:''' Well I guess that too...

* EmbarrassingRingtone: Unlike Olive and Otto's ringtones -- which play the [[ThemeTuneCameo Odd Squad theme song]] -- Oscar's ringtone is something that sounds like it belongs in a circus show.
* FlatJoy: When Olive permits him to grab a donut that Oscarbots 4 and 8 were sharing, Otto gives a small, [[SubvertedTrope but cheerful,]] "yay" that could put him on par with [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy.]]

** One of the Oscarbots also has oranges stored in its pants, which are shaken out by another Oscarbot holding it by its legs.
* HereWeGoAgain: Invoked by Olive, who leads Otto away to the Cake Room before the RantInducingSlight of staying up all night causes him to let loose against Ms. O and Oscar. Like with the Donut Room, Otto has no clue of its existence until Olive informs him, and immediately latches on, forgoing any instance of upset he had.
** Ms. O also gets another chance to fight something twice her size, taking on Oscar's CombiningMecha at the end of the episode.
* HeroesFightBarehanded: It's implied that Ms. O took out the bear with nothing but her bare hands and her martial arts skills.
* HeroicBSOD: Oscar enters one when Ms. O tells him he has 20 seconds to find the last two Oscarbots, lamenting how he's going to be fired from Odd Squad to the point where his voice breaks and he's about to cry. He manages to snap out of it once an offhand comment from him about Oscarbots 4 and 8 being together spurs Olive to realize they should add 8 and 4 together to find out where the robots are.
* HiddenDepths: Beneath her JerkWithAHeartOfGold exterior, Olive is apparently the LifeOfTheParty, frequenting the town's nightclub enough for the bouncer to know her by name.
* JustInTime: Oscar, Olive and Otto manage to round up all five missing Oscarbots just as Ms. O walks into the bullpen below them.

* ShaggyDogStory: The episode is spent attempting to get all of the missing Oscarbots back to headquarters in order for them to build a top-secret machine of Ms. O's...only for the "machine" to simply be the perfect juice box. It's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Otto, who isn't happy about [[SleepDeprivation staying up all night]] and begins to take it out on Ms. O and Oscar before Olive interrupts.

--> '''Otto:''' Why wasn't this the first thing you ever told me?! Even before your ''name!''
* SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat: Ms. O has never displayed any kind of martial arts prior to this episode, but is exceptionally skilled at it. [[JustifiedTrope Justified,]] as all Odd Squad Directors receive martial arts training when being promoted to precinct heads, and Ms. O is incredibly strong as it is.

When five of Oscar’s Oscarbots (robots made in his own image) become lost in town, Olive and Otto must help him find them.
----
!!Tropes:
* AcePilot: Oscarbot 10 is one. He somehow managed to get ahold of an Odd Squad-branded bi-plane.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Downplayed. Only five Oscarbots stray away from their original programming, and none of them become downright evil, nor do any protest when Olive, Otto and Oscar find them and order them to return.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: It's subtle, but Oscar's comment after the Oscarbots are lined up falls under this.
--> '''Oscar:''' When I see them all lined up like that, I realize I really do need a haircut.
* BrickBreak: Ms. O breaks a board cleanly in two with enough force to send the person holding it -- who is an adult nearly twice her weight -- to the ground. [[MouthyKid And yet she still demands he get up so she can do it again.]]
* DraggedByTheCollar: Oscar drags Olive and Otto away from the Donut Room's entrance by their arms.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Club 24 is quite obviously a standard adult-oriented nightclub, if the presence of [[{{Bouncer}} Tony the Bouncer]] and the line full of adults (with no minors in sight) didn't give it away. Not only is Olive on good terms with Tony, but she frequents the Club on her time off from work. Furthermore, she and Otto drag Oscarbot 24 out of the Club in the same manner as one would take out a patron who had one too many drinks or was starting fights with others.
* KungFuKid: Ms. O is one, being strong enough to break multiple cinder blocks and take down a ''bear.'' They don't call her LittleMissBadass for nothing.
* MarriedToTheJob: Olive openly [[DefiedTrope defies]] any sort of notion of this; while she is dedicated to her work and is loyal to Odd Squad, she makes time for herself as well.
--> '''Olive:''' [[DefensiveWhat What?]] I have a life outside of work!
* ObsessedWithFood: At this point, this is a OnceAnEpisode occurrence for Otto -- his main motivator for this episode is going to the Donut Room after finding out about its existence from a tube operator, and he gets denied almost every time.
--> '''Olive:''' I have an idea.
--> '''Otto:''' We are going to the Donut Room!
--> '''Olive:''' Not even close.
* PokemonSpeak: Oscarbots are only able to say their respective number and nothing else.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: All 25 Oscarbots look exactly like their creator, and act perfectly humanoid. Olive even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this, believing that Oscar initially cloned himself 25 times.
--> '''Olive:''' You ''cloned'' yourself?
--> '''Oscar:''' Nooo, what am I, crazy?! They're robots.
* RoboFamily: Of a sort. It's clear that Oscar cares for his Oscarbots enough to take them all to the movies in celebration for Ms. O's machine working, but it's left ambiguous whether he thinks of them as family or as mere machines.
* SingleTaskRobot: Each Oscarbot is designed to do one thing to help build Ms. O's machine, and if even one is gone, it messes up the entire assembly.
* SuddenlyShouting: Done by Ms. O after her first phone conversation with Oscar.
--> '''Ms. O:''' ''Nothing'' has ever been more important. ''Nothing.'' ''[-Nothing.-]'' ''[--Nothing.--]'' '''''NOTHING!!!!''''
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Ms. O said this to Oscar when she asked him to build the machine, telling him that if it doesn't work, she'll never forgive him.
