* CompactInfiltrator: In "Sideshow Blob," Bob very quickly figures out that his new BlobMonster body is a lot more mobile than it looks when he accidentally oozes through the barred gates of the prison during his escape. Consequently, Bob is frequently able to sneak up on Bart and Lisa via similar methods, even managing to infiltrate the Kwik-E-Mart and begin absorbing Apu's legs without being noticed.

* LiterallyFallingThroughTheCracks: In "Sideshow Blob," Bob's transformation into a homicidal BlobMonster finally backfires on him when Bart puts the Kwik-E-Mart's squishee machine into reverse while he's right next to it. Because Bob is essentially the same consistency as a squishee, the machine vacuums him up through its nozzle - and because there's too much of him to be contained inside, the machine promptly explodes, splattering Bob all over the store. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, this trope also works in Bob's favour when the police lose track of a piece of him during the cleanup, resulting in it falling down a sewerage grate and eventually being funneled into a nice warm place where Bob can regenerate into another blob monster: Mt Splashmore...]]
