* BadToTheLastDrop: Guacola is a soda made from three "[[RuleOfFunny concentrated]]" avocados ''per can''. It tastes awful and looks like green slime. When Ronaldo tries to use it like regular guacamole on nachos, it still tastes horrible.

** Likewise, Marty's reaction confirms Steven's [[PintSizedPowerhouse unusual strength relative to his size]], which could have been explained as sight gags until this point.



* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Marty wasn't even ''trying'' to make up for lost time with Sour Cream, he was just taking an opportunity to make money from the publicity. He was only even in town to give Greg a check because he was "legally obligated" to, and would've left without a second thought had he not run into his son by chance.

(That said, he was apparently prepared to give Greg the check in a much friendlier mood the first time.)



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Steven, unusually for him, shows little to no desire to befriend Marty, since he remembers his dad's story about him.

** It's also a subtle Deconstruction. Sour Cream clearly couldn't tell how heavy the box of stuff Steven handed to him was, because of how easily Steven carried it. Suddenly bending like he has to when Steven passes it off is an easy way to injure yourself.
