Bob takes Linda and the kids to visit his mother's grave, but finding the headstone is harder than he expected. Meanwhile, Teddy makes a grave mistake while doing repairs in the Belcher's house.
Trope Mama From the Grave:
- Ate It All: Linda tells Teddy to help himself to anything in the fridge, but Teddy had hung up when she adds that he can't eat the meatloaf because they're having it for dinner. Naturally, Teddy eats the meatloaf and has already eaten most of it cold when he notices Linda's follow-up text warning him not to. He tries to make up for it by cooking another one.
- Bittersweet Ending: Bob and the kids spend so long looking for Lily's grave that the kids don't get to go tubing, but they find a steep, clean hill in the cemetery that they're able to have fun sliding down. The camera also cuts to Bob watching them with a smile on his face while they do so.
- Call-Back: Teddy mentions the time he pretended to be Bob while alone in the restaurant. He also mentions that he was (quite understandably) banned from doing that again.
- Cell Phones Are Useless: Because there is bad reception in the cemetery, Bob can't call Linda to tell her they'll be late, forcing her to go look for them.
- Clingy Costume: Much like "Worms of In-Rear-Memt", Tina spends the episode wearing an old pair of snow pants that are too small for her and keep giving her a wedgie until she finally tears them while snow tubing down the hill in the cemetery.
- Continuity Nod: Bob and Linda have modern cell phones instead of their usual flip phones. It was probably a necessary replacement, since they lost their original flip phones in The Bob's Burgers Movie after they fell into the ocean.
- Foil: In contrast to how Gloria is loathed by Bob and generally disliked by the kids, Lily is only ever referred to in a positive way by Bob and the kids were genuinely looking forward to visiting her grave since they never got the chance to meet her. And for all the ways Bob hates his mother-in-law for the way she treats Linda, when Linda finds the grave she tells Lily that Bob is a good man who was obviously raised right and she should be proud of him.
- Funny Background Event: During the closing credits, Louise can at one point be seen moving vegetables from her own plate onto Tina's plate while Tina is looking at Bob.
- Given Name Reveal: Bob's mother's name is confirmed to be Lily Belcher.
- No Sense of Direction: Between Bob not having visited his mother's grave in over 20 years and the map provided being indecipherable, the Belchers keep going in circles in the cemetery. It also doesn't help that she doesn't have an actual tombstone and her grave is only marked with a plaque on the ground and all of them are covered in snow.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The episode title is a reference to Throw Momma from the Train.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: After all the effort Teddy went through to replace the Belchers' meatloaf, he winds up dropping it on the floor when the Belchers' return startles him. Though if the montage over the end credits is any indication, the Belchers and Teddy still eat it.
- Shout-Out:
- The Store Next Door is "Doula Ditty Ditty Dum Ditty Doula".
- The Exterminator Van is "Fleastie Boys".
- Ken has an Oingo Boingo cover band named Heebie-Jeebies.
- Gene's card for grandma depicts her as Uma Thurman on Pulp Fiction.
- When Tina says her boobs are cold, Gene says his are "comfortably numb," then adds, "I think that's what that song was about!"
- When Bob needs a boost to climb the cemetery fence, Gene goes "Who You Gonna Call?? Ghost boosters!"
- Silence Is Golden: The credits show the Belchers and Teddy sharing dinner and conversation together while "Lily Belle" plays over the scene.
- Skyward Scream: Upset that they can't go snow tubing because Linda is lost in the cemetery, Louise shouts "Parents!" at the sky.
- Technologically Blind Elders: Finally averted; Bob and Linda are shown to have upgraded to modern cell phones because, as mentioned, their old phones were thrown in the ocean.
- That Came Out Wrong: At the start of the episode, the kids make a portmanteau of "snow" and "tubing" to call the activity they're going to do "snubing." When they find a hill at the cemetery, Louise suggests they slide down it on their bellies, which makes it "body tubing," or "bubing" (pronounced like "boob-ing"). When Tina later complains about "bubing" hurting her actual boobs, Louise says, "You could just go down on your side. A little side 'bub'."
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Linda is terrified of cemeteries, to the point she initially stays in the car when the others go to visit Bob's mother.
