3 | !!This episode contains the following tropes: |
4 | * AnAesop: "Classrooms aren't required when learning is desired." |
5 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: A tiger student is instructed to climb a tree for a test, but he can't focus on it and instead chases a butterfly. |
6 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: Gabby and the twins zip past Einstein's desk, causing him to glance up from his work in surprise with his tongue sticking out--right as a photographer snaps [[https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/albert-einstein-tongue-1951/ what is arguably the most famous photo of him.]] |
7 | * {{Cliffhanger}}: At the end of the episode, [[spoiler: someone kidnaps Derek. Was it Karinne...[[BaitAndSwitch or something else]]?]] |
8 | * FurryReminder: After finally making it through the tree climbing test, the tiger cub decides he's hungry, and the other animals look delicious. |
9 | * GivenNameReveal: We learn that Mrs. Tuttle's first name is Julia. |
10 | * HistoricalDomainCharacter: UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein makes an appearance, [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee much to Emily's delight.]] |
11 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Emily is beyond thrilled to meet her hero, Albert Einstein. |
12 | * LiteralMetaphor: Gabby takes the twins to a literal jungle to demonstrate a literal version of the "don't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree" parable. |
13 | * NeverHeardThatOneBefore: When Einstein asks Gabby how she's been, she responds, "''Relatively'' good!" Einstein gives a forced chuckle at that and whispers to the twins that that joke gets old fast. |
14 | * {{Parody}}: Phil Gerson the Science Person is a clear parody of [[CompositeCharacter both]] Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy and UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson. |
15 | * SarcasmMode: The koala teacher sarcastically quips that he doesn't mind letting two random strangers waltz into his classroom and start teaching. [[SarcasmBlind The twins take it as permission.]] |
16 | * SelfParody: Amanda Lee (Kevin's mom) is an animator and created a cartoon called "The Quiplet Triplets." |
17 | * ShoutOut: |
18 | ** Karinne imitates a [[Franchise/StarWars Sith lord]] when going to meet F.A.R.T. in a dark alley. She thought it would be cool. |
19 | ** Franchise/{{Tarzan}} kidnaps Derek. |
20 | * ShownTheirWork: The koala teacher has two thumbs, just like real koalas. |
