4 | !!Tropes: |
5 | * AnalogyBackfire: |
6 | -->'''Sheldon:''' That is not the American Spirit. Did Davy Crocket quit at the Alamo? Did Jim Bowie?\ |
7 | '''Howard:''' They didn't give up, they were ''massacred!'' By, like, a gazillion angry Mexicans! |
8 | * BookEnds: The episode begins and ends with the guys playing Secret Agent Laser games. |
9 | * BottleEpisode: Only the main characters are present and the action takes place entirely in the main apartment sets. |
10 | * {{Calvinball}}: The episode begins with the guys playing "Secret Agent Laser Obstacle Chess". Howard suggests a strip variant. In TheStinger, they play Secret Agent Laser Obstacle Lunch, which Leonard admits is just stupid. |
11 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Leonard installs a 1-day rush option for Penny's business without even consulting Penny on whether she can handle business at such a fast pace or not. An order for 1000 blossoms from the East Rutherford New Jersey, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Alliance is placed for a 1-day rush, forcing the main cast to exhaust themselves into intense labor. |
12 | * FreezeFrameBonus: More like a "freeze-frame and zoom in" bonus, but the label on the box Sheldon delivers to Penny lists her full name and address, seemingly showing her famously [[OnlyOneName elusive]] last name to be [[spoiler:Teller]]. WordOfGod ultimately denied it was canon. |
13 | * MustHaveCaffeine: Sheldon is against drinking coffee, as he considers it a drug. After drinking a few cups, he's acting like ComicBook/TheFlash. |
14 | -->'''Sheldon:''' I'll be back before this banana hits the ground. |
15 | * PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: |
16 | -->'''Sheldon:''' Penny, I am a physicist. I have a working knowledge of the entire universe and everything it contains.\ |
17 | '''Penny:''' Who's Music/{{Radiohead}}?\ |
18 | '''Sheldon:''' [after an awkward pause] I have a working knowledge of the ''important'' things in the universe. |
19 | ** Later on Penny calls Davy Crockett, Jiminy Crockett. Justified as she had been up all night. |
