!!Tropes:
* {{Bowdlerization}}: In the UK version, the scene of Skips' past self spitting in present Skips' book was replaced with a long shot of Past Skips staring at it (however, the shot of the saliva-covered pages hasn't been altered, making it obvious that something's missing).

!!Tropes:

!!This episode includes examples of:
* AntiquatedLinguistics: Walks uses this, due to being from the 18th century.
* AnythingButThat: Mordecai and Rigby react in horror when they're about to be sucked into the past by the Time-nado back to when they were in high school.
* TheBermudaTriangle: Mordecai's idea for time traveling without a machine is to go to the Bermuda Triangle.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: The rest of the group quickly picks up Walks' catchphrase: "TALLY-HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
* {{Bowdlerization}}: In the UK version, the scene of Skips' past self spitting in present Skips' book was replaced with a long shot of Past Skips staring at it (however, the shot of the saliva-covered pages hasn't been altered, making it obvious that something's missing).missing).
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: As they're about to take shelter from a tornado, Mordecai and Rigby grab every kind of pizza pouch they have: "Pepperoni pizza pouch, sausage pizza pouch, pepperoni sausage pizza pouch..."
* ContinuityCavalcade: Skips' attic contains several continuity nods to past episodes: the ninja sword from "[[Recap/RegularShowS04Ep25SkipsStress Skips' Stress]]", the Simon Kipner plate from "[[Recap/RegularShowS01Ep05FreeCake Free Cake]]", the fists of justice from "[[Recap/RegularShowS03Ep24FistsOfJustice Fists of Justice]]", and the [=PlayCo=] Armboy from "[[Recap/RegularShowS02Ep22OverTheTop Over the Top]]".
* DramaticThunder: When Skips reveals that the man they saved from the tornado is him when he was a teenager, thunder claps and then the lights go out.
* FictionalVideoGame: "Hot Air Balloonerz 5000"
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early in the episode, Mordecai and Rigby get Walks to try a pizza pouch, which he immediately falls in love with. Later, Walks tries to smuggle a bunch of them back to the past with him which causes Mordecai and Rigby to chase after him, fall into the hot air balloon bucket with him, and nearly get sucked into the past.
* FutureBadass: At first, Walks finds his future self lame, with no sense of adventure. However, he comes to see what a badass Skips is when his friends start sharing memories of all the awesome, exciting times they've had together.
* GrandfatherParadox: Discussed. The guy Muscle Man knows who builds time machines apparently time traveled into the past, met his dad, caused his parents to never meet, and then faded from existence.
* InadvertentEntranceCue: Skips says there's only one person he knows that would have the storm-chasing equipment they need and he's not even sure if he still chases storms. Cue Techmo bursting through the front door.
* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: According to Skips, if they don't return Walks to the past "a whole chain of events will never happen" - including Skips becoming immortal.
* OurTimeMachineIsDifferent: Walks travels into the future via a tornado called a "Time-nado".
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Walk finds Skips stuffy and boring, while Skips considers his younger self immature and foolish.
* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: A reference to the novel, ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime''.
* RapidAging: This is what begins to happen to Skips as they're rushing to get Walks back to his own timeline and his mortality starts catching up to him.
* TheReveal: Walks' face is kept hidden by his hat during the group's initial rush to get him into their shelter. It's only when they're all safely inside that Skips' pushes his hat back to reveal his younger self.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Muscle Man is able to remember a friend with a time machine who went back in time and accidentally prevented his parents from ever meeting, wiping himself from existence.
* VanityPlate: The license plate on Techmo's van reads "STRMCHSR".
* YoureNotMyFather: Walks says this to Skips when he's trying to keep him in the house:
-->'''Walks:''' Ye be not my father!
