"This is your crew?"
"I am going to teach you how to beat these games."
—Mr. Fischoeder
The Belcher kids and company team up with Mr. Fischoeder to win a dune buggy from Family Funtime; Bob and Linda get a chicken from Teddy.
- Amazing Freaking Grace: It's not at a funeral, but Bob sings it to try and get the chicken to lay an egg.
- Big "YES!": Louise yells one upon winning the Wheelie Mammoth.
- Chekhov's Gun: The Wheelie Mammoth is briefly introduced in the first half of the episode before becoming much more relevant at the end.
- The Chessmaster: Louise. She enlists Mr. Fischoeder's help in teaching her, her siblings and her friends on how to cheat at Family Funtime's games. She makes one final check before their plan is meant to go off and discovers that the curtain from the photo booth where they were going to hide the tickets is gone, and distracts the employee to check the monitors if there's another blind spot for the cameras, but she's caught behind the desk, with the employee thinking she was there to steal something, causing her to get banned. While she's having her picture taken for the board of banned people, she then discovers that Mr. Fischoeder is one of its co-owners and realizes that he has been setting up a ruse. Next, she gets the rest of the kids to go on with her plan to win enough tickets for the dune buggy, getting the Family Funtime owners and Mr. Fischoeder to bust them for cheating to prove his point to the Family Funtime manager about the dune buggy being too good of a grand prize and how it encourages organized cheating. Instead, she goes to the boardwalk where she uses Mr. Fischoeder's advice to win the Wheely Mammoth from one of his own games. Even Mr. Fischoeder is impressed with how well she planned that.
- Comically Missing the Point: After revealing himself, Mr. Fischoeder asks if he forgot to mention that he's part owner of Family Funtime. Zeke replies that yes, he did forget to mention that.
- Creepy Twins: Mr. Fischoeder calls the Pesto twins this verbatim, and Ollie more than justifies his half of the trope.Ollie: (in a Creepy Monotone) I know how everybody's gonna die.
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: Played for laughs; the old-timey Mr. Fischoeder keeps recommending the kids alcohol to relieve stress.
- E = MC Hammer: Averted; the algebra equation Darryl writes during his introduction scene is an actual equation.
- Emerging from the Shadows: Mr. Fischoeder does this when he's revealed to be one of the owners of Family Funtime.
- Foreshadowing: Early on, Mr. Fischoeder can be seen complaining about Family Funtime's dune buggy, claiming it'll just encourage cheating because it's too valuable a prize. This hints at his true motives—set the kids up to prove his point.
- Foul Ball Pit: Tina prays that there isn't any pee in the ball pit when she hides there.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: Pictures of Logan Barry Bush and Choo Choo (the latter of whom hasn't had a speaking role since "Spaghetti Western & Meatballs") are on the arcade's board of banned customers.
- Two of the games at the arcade are Manchester by the Sea and The Legend of Zelda Fitzgerald.
- Heist Episode: The episode revolves around the Belcher kids and their friends, with help from Mr. Fischoeder, plotting to win enough tickets to win a dune buggy at Family Funtime, and is played out like a heist movie.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Fischoeder teaches the kids all the ticket tricks. This bites him back when he frames the kids, and Louise applies variants of the tricks to a method to win the Wheely Mammoth by throwing a ball into a gold-colored jug that's slightly too small for it to fit through without assistance (caramel-coated ball to make it rest on top of the jug, timing the next throw right when a rollercoaster passes by that shakes the ball deeper into the hole and hitting the first ball with a second ball to ultimately knock it into the jug).
- Kick the Dog: Apparently, Mr. Fischoeder calls all of his business-partners his "so-called partners", something they all resent.
- Outgambitted: Mr. Fischoeder taught the kids how to cheat at carnival games at the establishments he owns, and is informed of their plan to use these tricks to win a dune buggy. He then seems to have tipped off the employees at Family Funtime, to make sure the kids get caught, so he could use them as an example to his co-owners of why the dune buggy should be removed as a prize and kept to himself and the other owners. Louise guesses his plan, and the kids give up on trying for the dune buggy, but intentionally get caught as decoys, luring him to confront them in person, so that Louise could win another desirable prize at another establishment he owns while he wasn't there to oversee it.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The episode title is a Shout-Out to The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.
- Recurring Extra: Gus, the flag-waver from "Seaplane!" and "Speakeasy Rider", celebrates Louise winning the Wheelie Mammoth.
- Secretly Selfish: Teddy's giving the chicken to Bob and Linda appears to be for them because they've mentioned wanting to have fresh eggs... once. However, given Teddy's explanation for how he got the chicken, it seems more like he just wants to get rid of it while also hoping to have breakfast with the Belchers every Sunday.
- Shout-Out:
- The Store Next Door is "We'll Always Have Ferrets: Exotic Pets".
- The Exterminator Van is A Farewell to Ants
- The Burger of the Day is the "Won't Baguette Fooled Again Burger".
- Shy Bladder: According to Linda, Bob has one.
- Suck E. Cheese's: Family Funtime is really played up as crappy here, to the point that games get shut down if someone wins too much.
- Underestimating Badassery: After dealing with them who-knows-how-many times, Calvin Fischoeder still hasn't learned to take the Belcher kids seriously as threats. He teaches them how to cheat at carnival games, and then assumes they won't be able to win at least something from the Wharf.
- Wham Line: After the kids are busted, Louise walks in and asks if everything went well. Tina nonchalantly says it went perfectly.
