* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: The kids exploit this happening to Candace. After the black hole in Bernie's capsule breaks it's containment, Baljeet bemoans the fact something in the backyard hasn't disappeared, Buford bemoaning this seeming break in the pattern. Isabella points out that it's not actually a break in the pattern, interrupting herself as the realization sinks in for everyone that Candace hasn't tried to bust them yet. They all cry out for Candace in order to get her attention, knowing the capsule and the black hole will disappear before she shows Linda.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Professor Mystery merrily takes apart the HiddenAgendaVillain and NoNonsenseNemesis. He repeatedly insists that "mystery is his allure" and refuses to disclose information regarding his plans, devices or backstory, thus forcing his nemesis Peter the Panda to focus entirely on thwarting his evil schemes. Instead of making him intriguing, this attitude makes him look pathetic and pretty boring. Doofenschmirtz cannot take him seriously or feel threatened by his "true-purpose-shrouded-in-mystery-inator" since he has no idea what he's trying to do, and his relationship with Peter has suffered the equivalent of a communication breakdown because Mystery's lack of gloating means he and Peter never gain much of a rapport, leading Peter to cheat on him by thwarting Doofenshmirtz.

* FutureSelfReveal: Parodied. A large capsule falls into the boys' backyard, and when they break it open, a very old man steps out claiming to be Phineas from the future. Phineas doesn't believe this because they don't look anything alike. The old man then tries to claim he's Baljeet from the future, even though he's obviously not Indian, then claims he's Isabella from the future, which Isabella says makes no sense. Then the man's wife steps out, telling him to stop telling everybody that he's them from the future.
-->'''Phineas''': Who's that?
-->'''Crazy Old Man''': That's just Denise. Ignore her. She's no one from the future.
