History Recap / BobsBurgersS9E1JustOneOfTheBoyz4Now

* AdoringThePests: Teddy brings in what he thinks is a baby squirrel but is really a baby rat. Bob, understandably, wants it out of the restaurant, but Linda falls in love with it and insists on keeping it. Eventually, even Bob ends up fawning over it.
* AirVentEscape: One fan of Boyz 4 Now tried to sneak into one of the auditions through the air ducts. However, she got stuck in there and had to be rescued by emergency services. While the auditions were already having trouble with rabid fans, this incident is what prompted girls being banned from the audition area.

** Chad’s song about being in the friend zone is recreation of ''Film/PrettyInPink'' right down to the outfits he and Tina are wearing. The song also ends with it suddenly being Tina’s birthday, with the two kissing over a cake like the ending of ''Film/SixteenCandles''.

* FlockOfWolves: When Tina is exposed as a girl and someone calls out "Look, a girl!", several of the "boys" in the crowd remove their costumes thinking they're caught.

** Jeff the ghost boy from [[Recap/BobsBurgersS5E2TinaAndTheRealGhost "Tina and the Real Ghost"]]

* ActorAllusion: The ImagineSpot song by Jesse - voiced by Daveed Diggs - takes a detour to France, where he raps about stereotypical French culture. Diggs originated the role of UsefulNotes/MarquisDeLafayette in ''{{Theatre/Hamilton}}'', a role that made use of GratuitousFrench and rather rapid-fire rapping.

* MusicalEpisode: [[RunningGag Every time]] Tina falls for another boy, she has an ImagineSpot that plays out like a complete BoyBand music video.

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: At least four other girls had the same idea Tina had [[SweetPollyOliver of disguising themselves as boys]] to sneak into the auditions.

*** Interestingly, neither Zeke nor Henry Haber appear, despite Tina having noticeable ShipTease with Zeke throughout the series and having outright dated Henry in "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS7E15AintMissDebatin Ain't Miss Debatin']]".

* SobriquetSexSwitch: Tina goes by Dino while disguised as a boy.

* FlockOfWolves: When Tina is exposed as a girl and someone calls out "Look, a girl!", several of the "boys" in the crowd remove their costumes.
