* EurekaMoment: The narrator asking who could've predicted a star like Seymour would fall on such hard times gives Seymour the idea for his fortune-telling scam.

* FortuneTeller: In order to counter Seymour's own fortune-telling scam, Becky has Bob dress up as "the Great Chimpini".
* HandRubbing: Seymour does this as the townspeople leave for the bank so they can give him more of their money.
* LookBehindYou: After his attempt at blinding them with a TwinkleSmile fails, Seymour resorts to this to get away from the angry mob wanting their money back. It works, including on [=WordGirl=].
* TheMonolith: The scene where the sun rises on Seymour's obelisk is a reference to the famous monolith scene from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
* PhonyPsychic: Seymour Smooth's latest scam is making incredibly obvious future predictions through an obelisk he set up, and then charging them for more predictions.
