10----
11!!This episode provides examples of:
12
13* AbhorrentAdmirer: Dash for Jazz.
14* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear if whether Dash neglected to tell Danny about the dress code change, or if he deliberately [[LockedOutOfTheLoop kept him out of the loop]] as a way to humiliate him.
15* BaitAndSwitch: After Danny's first scuffle with Technus results in the lab becoming a mess, he hears Jack coming down, "expecting to see the lab exactly as [he] left it", [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere causing Danny to phase out of the room]]. Jack then comes down and looks around at the lab intently.
16-->'''Jack:''' ''(With a grin)'' Yep! Perfect!
17* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Dash has a huge crush on Jazz in this episode. Although the two rarely interact in the future, when they do, he never shows any attraction towards her again.
18* ILied: Jazz promises to go to Dash's party if he invites her brother. He does, but she apparently had no intention of going.
19-->'''Jazz:''' Not changing, not going.
20-->'''Danny:''' What?! You're the only reason Dash invited me!
21-->'''Jazz:''' Not caring.
22-->'''Jack''': (''from upstairs'') CODE-RED!
23-->'''Jazz''': [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere And not staying]]. (''walks out in a huff'')
24* InWithTheInCrowd: The Aesop of the episode is not to care about this. Danny even comes to this conclusion.
25-->'''Danny:''' What am I doing? These people aren't my friends, even if they all [[DressesTheSame look like them]].
26* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Danny automatically assuming that Technus wants to TakeOverTheWorld is exactly what inspires Technus to do that.
27* SecretlyWealthy: Sam invites Tucker and Danny to her house for the first time. Only now do they learn that her family is loaded (as in, she has a bowling alley in her basement). She's never told anyone because she doesn't want them treating her differently or acting weird around her.
28* TakeThat: "Portals XL" and its lack of security is clearly a jab at Microsoft's Windows XP.
29* UnmanlySecret: Danny discovers that [[JerkJock Dash]] has a massive collection of pastel-colored teddy bears in his closet. He uses this to his advantage at the end of the episode by making said collection spill out of Dash’s locker.
30* UnwantedAssistance: Inverted case when Danny needs Sam and Tucker to help him, but they refuse because he ditched them to join with the cool party. As soon as he apologizes, they agree to help him.
