* BadToTheLastDrop: Guacola is a soda made from three avocados ''per can'' -- from [[RuleOfFunny concentrate]]! It tastes awful, and has the looks and consistency of green slime. Ronaldo tries to use it like regular guacamole on chips, and it's still horrible. In a [[http://keepbeachcityweird.tumblr.com/post/147623331391/greetings-my-devoted-followers-many-of-you-have#notes sponsored post]] on ''Blog/KeepBeachCityWeird'', it said that Guacola's made by a company called Gluggman Industrial Adhesives, which is currently being sued in 17 states in connection with the cola.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Steven has no trouble with Sour Cream's heavy DJ equipment.



* StoutStrength: Steven is able to lift a box of DJ equipment with one hand that Sour Cream can barely lift with two, and later carries a crate full of equipment by himself that normally requires two adults to pick up. Marty is shocked by it.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Sour Cream on seeing his dad becomes hopeful when the latter says he wants to spend time with his son. This is especially heartbreaking since Sour Cream hadn't seen Marty for ''nine years'', and Marty ruins any bonding time by using Sour Cream's event to promote Guacola.



* BlatantLies: Marty claims he wants to reconnect with Sour Cream by helping his DJ performance, but it's obvious he's lying even before the reveal. Too bad Sour Cream can't see through it.

* BlatantLies: Marty claims he wants to reconnect with Sour Cream by helping his DJ performance, but it's obvious he's lying even before the reveal. Too bad Sour Cream can't see through it, and though Steven warns Sour Cream about Greg's concert at the beach not going well, Marty manages to talk his way out of it.



* CallBack:
** Marty's terrible managing skills and manipulation drive the plot, the way he inadvertently led to Greg encountering Rose all those years ago.
** The only reason Marty comes to Beach City is not to see his son, as he claims, but to actually give Greg a royalty check for his music. Greg had previously mentioned that Marty was his manager and thus Marty is reluctantly obligated to honor that commitment.



* GotMeDoingIt: Sour Cream is briefly surprised when he catches himself yelling like Yellowtail at Marty.
* HopeSpot: For Sour Cream, getting a chance to know a father that like him enjoys music, with Yellowtail wanting Sour Cream to become a fisherman. Marty quickly shuts that hope down.



* OhCrap: Steven when Marty appears on his bus.



* PapaWolf: Yellowtail is ''not'' happy to see Marty back in town. He becomes visibly enraged when it becomes apparent that Marty has co-opted Sour Cream's DJ gig to shill nasty soda.

No spoiler markup in recaps. Besides, the ten million dollar check is mentioned out in the open throughout this page.


** Greg and Yellowtail, too. They're both loving fathers but Yellowtail wants his children to have stable careers, while Greg believes personal happiness is more important than money, [[spoiler: though he's certainly not going to refuse the royalty check Marty was "legally obligated" to give him, a royalty check worth ''ten million dollars''.]]
