6	!!This episode provides examples of:
7	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
8	-->'''Mordecai:''' ''(looking through Death's fridge)'' Okay. Soul juice, goat's feet, aaaww... almond milk?!
9	* ArsonMurderAndLifesaving: Death was mad at Mordecai and Rigby for having their furnitures broken, fires spreading all over the place, and his favorite harp ruined and on fire. But when he sees that Thomas is asleep and his wife happy about it, he declares Mordecai and Rigby the best babysitter they ever had.
10	* BabysittingEpisode: Mordecai and Rigby has to babysit Death's son, Thomas, in order to save Muscle Man's soul.
11	* BabyTalk: Thomas does this only when his parents are around to keep up the charade that he's still young.
12	* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Mordecai and Rigby, as a result of having to babysit ''Death's son''.
13	* DisappointedInYou: Death’s wife says that if she finds out Mordecai and Rigby’s babysitting job with Thomas goes wrong, she will be disappointed in them. ALL of them. By “all” she means the two AND Death, for hiring them in the first place.
14	* HaHaHaNo: Death gives this response when he tells them that Muscle Man is going to die in a hot dog eating contest (even though that did come true later on the episode "Last Meal").
15	* InsultBackfire: When Mordecai and Rigby continuously fail to control Tomas and put him to sleep, a frustrated Muscle Man says they couldn't put a kid to sleep to save their lives. Rigby fires back that it's a good thing that ''Muscle Man's'' life is on the line then.
