First appearance of the business man farmer who, through the the unintentional consequences of the actions of other characters, keeps getting the very thing he forgets to get out of the sky, and his wife.



** The businessman's wife berates him for setting up a rabbit farm without buying any rabbits, saying, "What did you think, that rabbits would just fall out of the sky?" Immediately afterwards, a few rabbits ''do'' fall out of the sky and land on her hands, before Doofenshmirtz's balloon full of rabbits lands on top of her.
--->'''Businessman:''' Looks like somebody owes me an apology.\\
'''Businessman's wife:''' {{Touche}}.
** This happens again in TheStinger, where the businessman sold the bunny farm to start a van rental business. His wife tells him off for not getting any vans for the business, and conveniently enough, the tornado that picked up the ''Bust ‘Em!'' van that Doofenshmirtz is in drops it on her at that moment.

* IncrediblyObviousBug: Lulu attempts to record footage of the waterslide with a "secret hidden camera" (really a giant camera strapped to a bicycle helmet), but Phineas takes it off, saying "you might get this wet". Lulu tries again, disguising the camera inside a giant cowboy hat. Despite it still being obvious, this time, no one notices or does anything about the camera.

* AncientGrome: Lampshaded by Ferb, which ties in with the previous episode:
-->'''Ferb:''' You know, gladiators were ''Roman'', not Greek.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Doof's invention of the day is the Gloominator 3000... inator. It's especially hilarious when you watch Doof's face when he realizes he said "inator" twice.
* FreudianExcuse: Lulu Busting Jones, the show's host, started her show because her own brothers were little terrors, breaking plates and scratching records, with their mother never believing Lulu when she tried to tell her.

Then, he cocks it like a gun and starts shooting lots of rabbits out of the hat, causing Doof's hot-air balloon to lose altitude.
