History Recap / BobsBurgersS8E9YTuGaGaTambien

* ThrowTheDogABone: Mr. Frond's previous "Innovations" were met with everything from indifference, to him nearly losing his job. Ga-ga ball, on the other hand, is a hit. Even he's surprised. Unfortunately, this means he's desperate to ''keep'' the attention on Ga-ga ball, causing him to try and shut down Gene's RousingSpeech before he can even begin.
-->'''Frond:''' Oh my God, you like this!

* TheAce: Across the entire episode, Rudy is only known to have lost ''two'' games of ga-ga ball, the first of which is only mentioned (and took place before his massive winning streak began), and both of which were near-wins anyway.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: You might think ga-ga ball is something that Mr. Frond came up with, but no, it's a real game that was invented by Israelis in the 60s.

* BigNo: Gene when he sees his "monkey booby man" topiary cut down to make room for more ga-ga ball pits.

* CatchPhrase: Rudy eventually gets "No shame in losing to the best" as his victory phrase.

* GilliganCut: Louise says that there's no way she'll enjoy ga-ga ball. Cut to her dominating on the pit.

* PeerPressureMakesYouEvil: Downplayed. Gene's complaint about ga-ga ball isn't that it's a bad game, it's that others shouldn't be pressured to do something because "everyone" loves it. In the end he agrees to a game, but not at the expense of doing what he loves.

* SwappedRoles: Because ga-ga ball favors the less athletic by not involving throwing and catching things and the point of the game involves hitting the other players in the knees with the ball, students who are less physically adept and short (like Rudy) dominate, while some athletic students (like Zeke) are at a disadvantage.

** Mr Frond claims the purpose of Ga-ga ball is to make sure no-one gets left out for not being athletic. All he does is reverse the hierarchy, spending the whole episode humiliating the losers while hyping up the winners.

-->'''Tina:''' What's wrong with "banged"? I banged you, I banged mom, I'm gonna bang everyone at school!

* TrendAesop: Just because something's popular doesn't mean that everyone has to love it.

-->'''Rudy''': I know we're friends, Gene, but in the pit, it don't mean... ''(struggles)'' ...''crud''. Unh, I thought I was gonna cuss, I really thought I was.
