* TimeyWimeyBall: This episode somewhat conflicts its time-travel rules with [[Recap/OddSquadS1E7ACaseOfTheSingAlongsMsOUhOh "Ms. O Uh-Oh"]], which firmly established that NeverTheSelvesShallMeet, lest there be a timetastrophe. However, while that episode merely had Ms. O be sent from the past to the future, this episode has it vice versa, only with Olive and Otto instead of Ms. O -- and they don't meet each other, either, nor are they concerned by the matter (Otto in particular, who expresses interest of seeing the day he was born). Similarly, there are now two time-travel machines in existence: the Day-inator (which lets you travel to a day in the past or future in the current year), and the Before-Now Machine (which lets you travel only 5 minutes into the past, with more time being available if the right ingredients are collected).

* ArcWords: When asked by Octavia if she's seen her partner Oz, Olive responds that she hasn't, and that it's not lunchtime, it's dinnertime -- followed by Octavia remarking to herself, "What a kidder."

to:

* AdBreakDoubleTake: This is a zig-zagged trope -- most networks/stations play a Training Video instead of having a commercial break (although Discovery Kids in Latin America has commercial breaks in its airings of the show). Nonetheless, Olive repeats "we failed" before Part 1 of the episode ends and right after Part 2 begins. It also counts as MoodDissonance, as before the break she speaks in a serious tone, while after the break has her take on more of a despaired tone.
* AnswerCut: A strange variant occurs when Otto asks how long a minute is before he and Olive make their way to the Dinosaur Room. There's no cut, but rather, a 60-second timer appears onscreen and begins counting down.
* ApologizesALot: Zig-zagged; Olive isn't overtly apologetic, but she apologizes to Ms. O for failing the mission, only to have Ms. O tell her that ''she's'' sorry Odd Squad is going to get destroyed. It's justified due to the fact that Olive has immense loyalty to Ms. O and her primary goal is to take over the Director position someday in place of her.
* ArcWords: When Olive is repeatedly asked by Octavia if she's seen her partner Oz, Olive responds only for her to respond that she hasn't, and that it's not lunchtime, it's dinnertime -- followed by Octavia remarking calling her a "kidder".
* BigNo: Olive and Otto both give one when Orchid is about

--> '''Otto:''' You ''did.''
--> '''Oscar:''' Well, congrats to me! ''(pats himself on the back)''



* IdeaDing: One is heard when Octavia explains to Olive that the lunch she's mentioning is for the dinosaurs, not for her and Oz. This leads Olive to connect the dots as to who let the dinosaurs out.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Otto explaining to Olive how to resolve the issue of them botching up their mission in the first timeline.
--> '''Otto:''' Olive, we didn't fail. I mean, we ''did'' fail, but we can ''un-''fail by going back in time!
* IResembleThatRemark: Olive remarks how Oren and Olaf may be crazy, but they aren't ''that'' crazy. Cue Olaf giving an excited "whee!" as he and Oren make their way down a hallway.

* JetPack: Oscar is testing out a Jetpack-inator throughout the episode, which Otto employs as a sort of engine for his and Olive's makeshift cart.
* LikeADuckTakesToWater: While Olive has no issue adjusting to each of the timelines right off the bat, [[FishOutOfWater Otto]] takes a bit more time to get used to the timelines and how everything plays out (mostly) the same way.



* MistakenForThief: Oren and Olaf are initially suspected by Otto and Olive to be breaking into the Dinosaur Room with a bag of tools. However, it turns out that what they were transporting in the bag were ribbons, which they were using to practice for the Odd Squad Talent Show.
* MoreHypnotizableThanHeThinks: Subverted. Despite Oren and Olaf just showing off by twirling their ribbons around, Otto is unable to look away and stares at them wide-eyed. Olive, on the other hand, nearly becomes dizzy by following the ribbons' movement (with her eyes darting to and fro), but manages to [[DraggedByTheCollar pull her entranced partner away.]]



* MyGodYouAreSerious: When Octavia is confronted by Olive and Otto about misunderstanding the time of day, she scoffs and calls Olive a "kidder"...before Olive remarks that she's being dead serious, causing Octavia's face to fall.
* MysteriousStranger: Olive tells Otto to "look for anyone suspicious" just before they spot a shifty-looking agent wearing a hat and a trenchcoat, who has a suitcase with a red question mark on it. Olive then rephrases her statement by adding, "...but not ''too'' suspicious".



* OurTimeMachineIsDifferent: Oscar has a "Before-Now Machine" which enables someone to go back in time...but only for 5 minutes [[NoodleImplements (any further than that and he'd need plutonium and bananas)]]. To use it, Olive and Otto grip a sphere attached to the end of the gadget while Oscar pushes a button to activate it.

* NothingCanStopUsNow: A subversion -- Oren says this to Otto and Olive when they confront him and Olaf in the hallways, only for Otto to find out that they aren't carrying robbery tools like he thought, but ribbons.

----
!!Tropes:

* CallBack: Olive is [[Recap/OddSquadS1E8CrimeAtShapelyManor once again]] a narrator for a story, and just like in that episode, her narration is sparse.

''World Turned Odd'' would be his final time-travel-related contribution to the show, though not his final contribution altogether.
* ContinuityCavalcade: Olive's narration primarily consists of odd problems that the precinct has faced in past episodes such as [[Recap/OddSquadS1E3MyBetterHalfTheConfalones "My Better Half"]], [[Recap/OddSquadS1E15TheOddAntidoteTheOneThatGotAway "The Odd Antidote"]], and [[Recap/OddSquadS1E11HowToInterrogateAUnicornTheBriefcase "The Briefcase"]], among others.

* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: Of the "videocassette time travel" variety, as time is shown moving backwards as though someone were rewinding a VCR tape, with bubbles showing up repeating random bits of spoken dialogue.
* RightOnTheTick: The dinosaur breakout is at exactly 6:05 PM. With this knowledge, Olive and Otto must race to stop the breakout before the clock reaches that time.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Olive and Otto remember exactly what happened with the first timeline, and aside from going to the Cookie Room (as well as confronting Orchid, Oren, Olaf and Octavia), everything plays out the same way.

* ShoutOut: Olive and Otto's makeshift kart, as well as the driving mechanism with Otto taking backseat, looks like something straight out of
* SpinningClockHands: Occurs when Olive is explaining how Octavia forgot to feed the dinosaurs.
* TimeTravelEpisode: The premise of this episode revolves around Olive and Otto stopping a dinosaur breakout from occurring in 5 minutes. They do this by repeatedly going back 5 minutes with the Before-Now Machine in order to find the culprit.
* TimeyWimeyBall: This episode somewhat conflicts its time-travel rules with [[Recap/OddSquadS1E7ACaseOfTheSingAlongsMsOUhOh "Ms. O Uh-Oh"]], which firmly established that NeverTheSelvesShallMeet, lest there be a timetastrophe. However, while that episode merely had Ms. O be sent from the past to the future, this episode has it vice versa, only with Olive and Otto instead of Ms. O -- and they don't meet each other, either, nor are they concerned by the matter. Similarly, there are now two time-travel machines in existence: the Day-inator (which lets you travel to a day in the past or future in the current year), and the Before-Now Machine (which lets you travel only 5 minutes into the past, with more time being available if the right ingredients are collected).
* WhiteVoidRoom: Olive is in one when narrating.
