Micky gets bamboozled by a fitness guru.

This episode provides examples of:

  • Adults Dressed as Children: Davy pretends to be a child as part of his and Peter's plan to trick the blond guy into thinking he's lost his strength. The only change made to Davy's costume to achieve this effect is a giant lollipop.
  • Catchphrase: Whenever anyone says something to Brenda, she responds with "yeah, ...[x]"
    Micky: You know, physical beauty isn't enough. I-I guess that's why I fell in love with you, Brenda; I wanted a girl with some intelligence.
    Brenda: Yeah, intelligence.

  • Con Man: Shaku
  • Fake Muscles: Davy assures Micky that wearing an extremely puffy blue jacket will make Brenda think he's buff.
  • Muscle Angst: The plot hinges around Micky suffering from this.
  • Tropaholics Anonymous: Shaku's support group, Weaklings Anonymous.
  • True Beauty Is on the Inside: While Micky was fixated on the idea that Brenda would leave him for someone buffer, she was actually completely uninterested in muscles and ends up leaving him for a nerdier guy.
