Added DiffLines:

* PrankCall: Cricket and Gramma's first prank on Bill is calling him, pretending to be someone from the Department of Lost and Found, making him think he's missing his butt.
* RuleOfThree: Bill is pranked a total of three times by Cricket and Gramma; first being prank called, second getting splashed in the face, and third when he faceplants into a cake. When the duo attempt a fourth prank but slip on the oil meant for it and a scary chihuahua rounds on them, Bill has had enough and thinks they are pranking again when they were truly in danger that time.
* ShoutOut: When the chihuahua closes in on Cricket and Gramma, Cricket cries out, "[[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Daddy, help me!]]"
