Spin Off: After seeing CJ's awesome spin moves, Par helps CJ enter and train for a sign spinning competition.
Tooth or Consequences: When Adelaide loses a tooth, Carl and Bobby teach her about El Raton, the Latin American "tooth fairy."
"Spin Off" provides examples of:
- Animate Inanimate Object: Mr. Inflatable from "This Bird Has Flown" takes on this characterization. First, he gets upset when Hector puts him down. Then, he is seen cheering for CJ during the sign-spinning competition.
- Bittersweet Ending: CJ ultimately loses the competition after dropping his sign and breaking it, but he still manages to win the hearts of the spectators.
- A Day in the Limelight: For CJ.
- Hidden Depths: Right off the bat, this episode reveals that CJ has awesome spin moves, but it's also revealed that he gets nervous when it comes to competition.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Carl tries to help CJ with his competition problem by taking not only Doyle's sign, but all the other signs in the building. When he tries to take them out with a cart, he bumps into the doors, causing the cart to slide into the arena. This results in Doyle getting his sign back.
- Ocular Gushers: Two of the spectators cry like this after Carl steals their signs.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Carl tries to bust the signs out by pushing open the doors "like in the movies." Instead, he just bumps into them and falls into the cart full of signs.
"Tooth or Consequences" provides examples of:
- The Girl Who Fits This Slipper: Carl, Bobby, and Adelaide do this with doll's shoes in an attempt to find El Ratón. It doesn't work.
- Inelegant Blubbering: Adelaide does this when she thinks that El Ratón's not coming.
- It's All My Fault: Bobby gets like this when Adelaide thinks El Ratón is gone forever.
- Real After All: This episode confirms that in this universe El Ratón is real.
- Sewer Gator: One of them happens to have a missing tooth and tries to use Adelaide's to replace it.
- Shout-Out: Adelaide's plan to find El Ratón by placing a doll's shoe in his foot is explicitly similar to the glass slipper search in Cinderella.
- Stock Animal Diet: Throughout the episode, mice are associated with cheese. Bobby tries to lure El Ratón back by wearing a cheese costume, the mouse he and Carl try to use as El Ratón's replacement dupes them into giving him cash for a cheese tour of Europe, and Adelaide leaves a block of cheese, a cheese danish, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a slice of cheesecake for El Ratón.
- Tears of Remorse: Bobby cries a little when he thinks he's scared El Ratón into never coming back to Great Lakes City (it's implied that, really, he just scared the mouse that kept stealing the chicharrones from the mercado).
- Tooth Fairy: The Hispanic variation of this character is El Ratón, who takes the lost baby teeth of children in exchange for money. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that he was caught up in a family reunion in Chile.
- The Tooth Hurts: Bobby loses a tooth towards the end of the episode.
