Thanks for donating money to help that internet kid get his bionic ears.
A Plot: The band Thunderface reunites for a charity fundraiser, but nearly break up over disagreements.B Plot: A song Brent wrote back in high school has Lacey investigating his mystery high school crush.
C Plot: Oscar shoots a fundraising video for the Seniors' Center. Davis volunteers to film and edit, but is unhappy with how Oscar spends the money.
- Ambiguous Time Period: Brent comments on how the band used to play during high school, then one time at the bar, "then a nebulous amount of time went by"...
- Bland-Name Product: The fundraising website Lacey and Oscar use is referred to as "Kick-Fundy", clearly referencing Kickstarter.
- The Ending Changes Everything: In The Tag, Wanda learns that the green-inked pen the "high school love song" was written with was only gotten by Brent recently (at a "Freaks For Bigfoot" convention), and Lacey realizes that her aunt never served the crinkly-cut fries the song mentioned, but SHE does.
- Exact Words: Oscar states in his fundraising video set in the Seniors' Center that "I can't imagine winding up in a place like this!" But rather than being for fixing up the Center, the funds turn out to be for personal use so he doesn't have to spend his days there.
- Fake Charity: Oscar's "fundraiser" is primarily just a way to be paid to complain about something. When he gets the money, he buys himself a massage chair and leaves nothing for the Center. The "born-deaf kid that needs cochlear implants" campaign that Thunderface has a fundraiser for also turns out to be a scam, but Davis manages to rally the town to put the money towards the Seniors' Center for real (and forces Oscar to donate the chair).
- Garage Band: Thunderface returns from the live-action series episode, Rock On!. The line-up is the same: original members Brent, Hank, and Wanda, plus Karen as their drummer.
- Guilt by Association Gag: Davis regrets boasting about being Oscar's video producer when he learns that Oscar was conning everyone, and now people are blaming him when he was ignorant of Oscar's intent.
- Innocently Insensitive: Lacey tells Brent about a "Kick-Fundy" campaign for a deaf boy and, after being offended when Brent says he wishes he didn't have to hear his father complaining, convinces him into reforming Thunderface for a charity event.
- Manipulative Bastard: When Davis is in charge of filming, he makes sure to play up certain elements of the Seniors' Center (such as repeated cuts to a very old dog) in order to play on the emotions of potential backers and get more cash...not knowing that Oscar was lying about what it'll be spent on.
- Mistaken for Gay: Emma and Lacey briefly wonder if Brent is gay or asexual after failing to identify any local girls that he's shown affection for.
- Precocious Crush: Lacey and Emma eventually deduce that Brent's song was most likely for Lacey's deceased aunt Ruby, who was twice his age but always kind to him and served him great food.
- Punk Punk: Wanda decides that the band should go in this direction, showing up to the second practice with black clothes and dyed hair, while Karen goes for more of a Daft Punk "House"-style as DJ Po-Po.
- The Reveal: Lacey's deceased aunt Ruby is finally seen (at least in cartoon form), in an old picture serving food to Brent as a child. The picture also reveals that Brent's song wasn't about her and her fries.
- Ship Tease: It turns out in The Tag that Brent actually wrote the love song fairly recently, and it was about Lacey.
