Recap / I Heart Arlo S 1 E 15 Tony Baloney

Go To

Tony's parents are coming to visit and he worried they'll be disappointed of him that he's not a con artist anymore, so he asks his friends to keep up a ruse to impress them.

Tropes:

  • An Aesop: The key to showing you're still in your parents' footsteps might have been with you all along.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Tony's first starring role.
  • Continuity Nod: When Ansel cancels out Tony's family argument with his headphones, the music is an instrumental of his song from the movie, "Better Life".
  • Get Out!: Tony shouts this at Ansel to get him to leave the helicopter.
  • It Runs in the Family: Tony is revealed to come from a long line of con artists.
  • Madness Mantra: At the beginning, the main characters repeat "Yam!" over and over like zombies as they are entering Tony's. Arlo even sings it.
  • Unseen No More: After brief mentions in the movie, Tony's parents appear physically for the first time.
  • Wingding Eyes: Arlo gets hearts in his eyes as he is awing over Tony's makeover.
