Go To

Trend Game: When Ronnie Anne realizes that she's not up to date on all of the latest trends, she seeks help from Carlota.

This Bird Has Flown: Bobby struggles to find Sergio after wishing he would fly away and never come back.

"Trend Game" provides examples of:

  • Afraid of Blood: This is implied to be the case with Ronnie Anne's friends, who envy her for not fainting at the sight of blood.
  • Cell Phones Are Useless: Desperate to impress her friends, Ronnie Anne goes into an abandoned subway tunnel, where there is no Wi-Fi, because Carlota gave Ronnie Anne the wrong text.
  • Maniac Monkeys: According to Nikki, the restaurant run by monkeys has closed down because a man had his finger bit off, probably by one of the monkeys.
  • No Indoor Voice: The SCREAM EVERYTHING CHALLENGE!
  • Running Gag: Carl trying to get people to donate to the "Carl Fund."
  • You Dirty Rat!: Once in the subway tunnel, Ronnie Anne and her friends run away from a group of rats, one of whom eats Sameer's shoe.

"This Bird Has Flown" provides examples of:

  • Bird-Poop Gag: Bobby's Rage Breaking Point is when Sergio poops on his head.
  • Covered in Gunge: The entire Casagrande family gets covered in guacamole when Carl's poop button on the drone controller gets jammed.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: When Sergio wins the Employee of the Month award, Bobby is understandably miffed that no one voted for him even though he's a hard worker.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: When he sees Sergio's feathers all over his room, Bobby gets the idea to make a Sergio robot. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Everybody Cries: The Casagrande family (sans Carl) when they think Par killed Sergio.
  • Evil-Detecting Dog: Of all the members of the Casagrande family, Lalo is the one to spot the difference between the real Sergio and the fake Sergio.
  • Goofy Print Underwear: Some time ago, Lori sent Bobby a pair of boxers with hearts that have Lori's face in them.
  • Heartbreak and Ice Cream: Bobby is shown eating ice cream after losing the Employee of the Month contest.
  • High-Pressure Emotion: When Bobby gets mad at Sergio, his face turns red and steam comes out of his ears.
  • Imagine Spot: Upon seeing that his family has gotten the police involved, Bobby imagines himself in jail.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Bobby gets very remorseful when he sees Abuela Rosa break down in tears over the disappearance of Sergio.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Bobby, of all people, gets so mad at Sergio for pooping on his head that he tells the bird to fly away and never return. It's particularly scary because we almost never see Bobby get that angry!
  • Shout-Out: The title is taken from the Beatles song "Norwegian Wood".
  • Toilet Humor: Not only does the real Sergio poop on Bobby's head, the fake Sergio poops guacamole.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: The entire family (sans Bobby and Carl) don't realize that the fake Sergio is clearly just a drone and the "poop" is just guacamole.
  • Tropey, Come Home: The main plot of the episode is Sergio running away and the Casagrande family freaking out as a result.
