* ArtificialLimbs: Mr. Needlemeyer, the owner of the mini-golf course, has a golf club as a peg leg.
* ChekhovsGun: Throughout the episode, Bob keeps taking photos of the children competing in the mini-golf tournament. At the end of the episode, he uses these photos to prove that Eileen cheated and doesn't deserve to be in the hall of fame.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: When Becky declares her intention to enter the mini-golf tournament, TJ tells her that she won't win, because he's unstoppable. Cue his golf cart getting stuck on a rock.
* JetPack: Putt Putt [=McGillicuddy=], the previous winner of the mini-golf tournament, inexplicably flies around with one.
* MeaningfulName: Unsurprisingly, a boy named Putt Putt [=McGillicuddy=] is a mini-golf champ.
* MiniGolfEpisode: TJ, Becky, and Eileen compete against each other in a mini-golf tournament for a place on the golf course's hall of fame.
* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: When Eileen demands that Mr. Needlemeyer take Becky's picture down from the hall of fame and put her picture up instead, Mr. Needlemeyer staunchly refuses, claiming that he couldn't look himself in the mirror if he let a cheater be on his hall of fame. Becky, who also cheated so she wouldn't have to share the win spot with Eileen, feels guilty when she hears this and decides to confess her wrongdoing.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Eileen does this as she ''slowly'' putts her golf ball towards the hole.
-->'''Eileen:''' Putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt... putt.
* WhatTheHellHero: When Becky tries to defend herself after admitting to cheating by explaining that she only did it so Eileen, who also cheated, wouldn't win, TJ points out that would ''still'' mean he lost to a cheater.

* DontExplainTheJoke: When Dr. Two-Brains makes a bad pun about [=WordGirl=] "sticking around" because they're in a sticker factory, his unimpressed henchmen decide to leave. Dr. Two-Brains lamely tries to explain his joke before running after them.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Captain [=HuggyFace=] stops Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen in the bank by throwing Dr. Two-Brains at the henchmen.


Added DiffLines:

* LamePunReaction: Downplayed. As Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen laugh about having trapped [=WordGirl=] and Captain [=HuggyFace=] in two piles of stickers, Dr. Two-Brains makes a pun about the heroes are going to have to "stick around". His henchmen, clearly unimpressed, promptly stop laughing and start to make their leave.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Played for laughs. El Mysterioso chooses Becky as the volunteer for his next trick and fires a beam of light at her just as she and Bob fly off to stop Dr. Two-Brains, making it look to him and the crowd like he vaporised them. The audience thinks it's AllPartOfTheShow, but El Mysterioso is horrified.
* PooledFunds: Dr. Two-Brains' henchmen do this with dollar bills at the bank for one of the heists they plan, with Two-Brains himself acting as a lifeguard.


Added DiffLines:

* SawAWomanInHalf: Becky's family take part in a three-person variant of this trick at the magicians' convention.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: After Becky coincidentally turns into [=WordGirl=] and flies out and in at the same time as El Mysterioso fires his fake lightning as her seat, making it look like he made her disappear and reappear, Mr. Botsford asks if the reason she kept disappearing during the convention was because she was working on a trick with El Mysterioso. Becky decides to go with it.
* SayingTooMuch: As Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen are about to get away with robbing the taco shop, the speaking henchman lets it slip that their next target is the sticker factory, apparently unaware that you're not supposed to tell your enemy where you're going next.
