History Recap / BobsBurgersS9E11LorenzosOilNoLindas

* AnAesop: Both plotlines end in one.
** It's possible to take advantage of people without realizing you're doing it.
** It's easy to assume that just because something is easy for you means it will be easy for others, and it's important to be aware when you're asking other people to give so much of their time and/or money.

* SnakeOilSalesman: Angie sells essential oils that supposedly treat a wide variety of things, from constipation to ovulation. [[SubvertedTrope Angie sincerely thought they work]], either because of the PlaceboEffect or [[TheCharmer her buyers being unwilling to tell her otherwise]].

* ParentsKnowTheirChildren[=/=]PlayingSick: Louise tires to fake an allergic reaction to the oils by drawing dots on her arms with a red marker. Linda catches on immediately.

* BrutalHonesty: After a whole evening of having to lift and manoeuvre a giant and heavy bed a long distance for a good-natured but oblivious-to-their-discomfort Mr. Huggins, Bob outright says he's likes him a little less than he did before. To his credit, Mr. Huggins accepts that's fair.

** Mr. Huggins asks Bob and Teddy to help him move an ''incredibly'' heavy adjustable full size bed frame and mattress from one large house with lots of stairs to an upstairs apartment, and then has them stay for hours afterwards to give him love advice for a date that night. Bob in particular finds the whole experience incredibly tedious and painful, but is too polite to decline or leave.

** When Teddy takes a look at Angie's oils, he immediately buy the first one she shows, which was meant to improve ''ovulation''. Angie tries to point out that wouldn't help him, but Teddy says not to talk a customer out of a sale. While it initially seems like Teddy's just being [[TheDitz Teddy]], it's also a big hint that Angie takes advantage of people even if she doesn't mean to.

* IncrediblyLameFun: Tina bonds with Reggie at Angie's party over a love of jigsaw puzzles, which Louise and Gene find boring.

* TheLoad: Gayle and the kids crash Angie's essential oil party to warn Linda that it's a PonziScheme. Angie quickly shuffles the kids into the kiddie room, leaving it up to Gayle to warn her. However, Gayle quickly becomes side-tracked swooning over Peppermint oil, or blabbers incoherently, leaving it up to the kids to try to warn Linda and/or snap Gayle out of it. Louise lampshades this several times.

* PonziScheme: Subverted. Angie selling people oils for others to sell seems like a way for her to profit from the other's expense, especially to Gayle. Turns out there is no scam; Angie is just oblivious to how her natural charisma makes her an excellent seller, and is genuinely surprised that others are having trouble selling oils. Granted, Angie ''is'' probably working for a multi-level marketing company, which are increasingly regarded as Ponzi/pyramid schemes, but she is an unaware part of that scheme.

** Title is a reference to ''Film/LorenzosOil''.

* AnAesop:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: {{Subverted}} by Angie. Turns out she genuinely doesn't realise that everyone else has trouble selling on the oil packages she sells to them for $600, she's just used to not having any difficulty doing so herself because of her likeable nature.

* CutenessProximity: Louise [[Recap/BobsBurgersS5E18EatSprayLinda once again]] completely melts in the presence of a puppy.
* FavorsForTheSexy: People are very willing to buy from Angie and invest in her product, essentially just because she's friendly, young, and attractive (even people who aren't literally attracted ''to'' her, as they want to be like her). Linda is mentioned to have a a beautiful "friend" in high school who exploited her much more maliciously, constantly pressuring her into TakingTheHeat for breaking the school rules.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Gayle pronounces the H in Achilles heel.

* OverlyLongScream: Gayle when the kids tell her Linda is at an oil party. A quick montage shows her screaming all the way to picking up the kids.

* PreciousPuppy: Angie's puppy Ringo, who distracts Louise from getting to Linda.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Teddy breaks the bed because he forgot to put in screws on one side, he asks Bob for help fixing it. Bob ''immediately'' leaves.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: {{Subverted}} by Angie. Turns out she doesn't realise that everyone else has trouble selling on the oil packages she sells to them for $600, she's just used to not having any difficulty doing so herself because of her likeable nature.

* SmartBall: A minor example: in contrast to her usual behaviour, Gayle ends up being the one to save Linda from wasting her money on something stupid, but only because she knows from experience that what Linda's doing is a bad idea, she still acts like her normal [[TheDitz clueless]] and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} weird]] self for the rest of the episode and the only reason she hears about what Linda's doing is because she called her to borrow money after she lost hers in the lottery again.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Teddy takes a look at Angie's oils, he immediately buy the first one she shows, which was meant to improve ''ovulation''. Angie tries to point out that wouldn't help him, but Teddy says not to talk a customer out of a sale. It's a big hint that Angie takes advantage of people even if she doesn't mean to.

* PlayingSick: Louise tires to fake an allergic reaction to the oils by drawing dots on her arms with a red marker. Linda catches on immediately.

* NoodleIncident: We don't see what Mr. Huggins' back tattoo is. According to him, it's supposed to be a Yin-Yang symbol but Bob and Teddy says it looks nothing like it and suggest he cover it.

** Angie named her puppy Music/{{Ringo|Starr}} because he plays the drums.

* CutenessProximity: Louise [[Recap/BobsBurgerS5E18EatSprayLinda once again]] completely melts in the presence of a puppy.
