* AllForNothing: Chelsea didn't submit a note on Tina's "cheating," making all the stress Tina goes through entirely useless. On the other hand, it could have ironically led to Tina snitching on herself had she gotten to Mr. Frond's house to tell him about it.

Added DiffLines:

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Linda assures Tina that she's not a bad person for looking at Susmita's test. Whether or not she would've changed her answer depending on what Susmita wrote doesn't matter, because Tina ''didn't'' change her answer and she knew while she was taking the test that doing so would be wrong. And even if Tina ''had'' changed her answer, one small lapse of judgment doesn't automatically make Tina a bad person and it's definitely not something she should risk her life over.

Poor Rudy freaks out over being sold out once again.

!!Tropey Tropey Bang Bang:
*BigDamnHeroes: Teddy rescues Tina from the snowstorm when she gets caught in it trying to get to Mr. Frond's house.
*BlatantLies: After a note from Accountability Billy gets a student named Neil Roberts in trouble, Frond thanks Rudy but claims it's completely unrelated. Naturally, Neil figures it out.
*BrickJoke: It's mentioned early on that Chelsea once dropped ''[[ClusterFBomb 23]]'' [[ClusterFBomb f-bombs]] during a game of kickball. At the end of the episode, she sends Tina a note that contains quite a few more.
*CreepyDoll: Chelsea thinks this about Accountability Billy. Tina regularly imagines Billy in a way that ramps up the creepy factor tenfold, namely by making Billy larger and sentient.
-->'''Bob:''' (''after learning about Billy'') What is wrong with your school?
*DidntThinkThisThrough: Frond creating a system to allow students to snitch anonymously isn't a bad idea--except he proceeds to ruin the anonymity by thanking each person who sends a note via loudspeaker (and poorly covering it up by claiming it's unrelated), defeating the entire point.
*DisturbingStatistic: Linda ''tries'' to bring them up by mentioning how many people die in events the Belchers are going through (such as leaving the oven on as a makeshift heater or getting lost in snowstorms). However, Linda's statistics are way too exaggerated to be taken seriously (i.e. ''20 million'' dead in a ''week''), with Bob pointing out that if she were somehow right humanity would be extinct.
*ExactWords: When it turns out Chelsea never sold out Tina, Chelsea just points out that she said she ''might'' have, never that she ''did''.
*HopelessWithTech: Bob struggles to text Larry the repairman, accidentally coming off as insensitive and rude. Justified since he recently upgraded his phone and hasn't fully adjusted to using it.
*{{Hypocrite}}: Chelsea accuses Tina of cheating off of Susmita's test (even though Tina was already done with her test and she immediately looked away when she realized what she was doing). She accuses Tina of this while blatantly looking over Susmita's shoulder to cheat off her test.
*HypocriticalHumor: Teddy tells Bob that he always has a habit of coming off rude to other people, and is later seen complaining about this habit while adjusting a client's TV. When the client asks if everything is okay, Teddy yells at him.
*NobodyLikesATattletale: Frond believes the inverse--that everyone ''loves'' a tattletale. Unsurprisingly, he's proven wrong.
*PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: The episode title is a reference to ''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang''.
*ShoutOut:
**The Store Next Door is "[[Literature/TheHungerGames The Hunger Frames]]".
**The exterminator van is "[[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers Red Hot Kill Bees Better]]".
*TheStoolPigeon: Frond creates a therapy doll (named Accountability Billy) for the sole purpose of allowing students to snitch on their peers. Tina's plotline has her worry that Chelsea sold her out to Billy to hide her own cheating (she didn't).
*SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
**While talking about her history test with her family, Tina says she ''definitely'' didn't cheat. Even Linda, who normally takes such denials at face value, has to double-take.
**When Rudy sends a second note to Accountability Billy over Neil Roberts threatening him (which was because Frond basically sold Rudy out for writing the first note that got Neil in trouble), Frond claims that the person who wrote the note definitely ''wasn't'' Rudy. Poor Rudy freaks out over being sold out once again.
*ThatCameOutWrong: Not wanting Linda to overhear her talking with her siblings about solving the cheating fiasco, Tina tells her to StayInTheKitchen, then hastily clarifies she didn't mean it in a sexist way.
