8	----
9	!!Go Trope It on the Mountain:
10	* AdultsAreUseless: The one time the Belcher kids actually ''need'' Mr. Frond (specifically to help find Tina), he completely ignores them. When he finally remembers what they said, he thinks they were pranking him.
11	* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Bob and Linda get drunk on Long Island Iced Tea and invite an entire nightclub to party at their place.
12	* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Played with; Martha admits she ''almost'' believed herself when lying about being a Wonder Woman of the Woods.
13	* BlatantLies: Everything about Martha, about her being a Wonder Woman of the Woods, her inventing an anger relieving exercise, about "leveling up" and about climbing the mountain by herself is stuff she made up to impress Tina (for instance, the "level up" bit is from a video game).
14	* BrokenPedestal: Gene and Louise are less than amused to find that Martha is a fraud.
15	* EmbarrassingNickname: Tina is dubbed "Fluffy Butt" when she's overheard singing a jingle from a toilet paper commercial.
16	* EveryoneHasStandards: Jimmy Jr. and Zeke both shoot Tammy an unamused look when Tammy acts appalled at supposedly being called a "Labeler", showing that although they joined in on the "Fluffy Butt" craze, even they recognize she's being a huge hypocrite.
17	* FailedASpotCheck: After inviting a large number of people over to their house for an afterparty and making a huge mess of the house, Bob and Linda desperately try to clean up before the kids get back to avoid undermining their already near-nonexistent authority over the kids. They seem to be successful, other than still having their spray-on tan, until Gene finds a random hung-over middle-aged woman sleeping in his room.
18	* FancyCamping: Martha lives in the woods with a generator, a TV, a microwave (which she stole) and a smartphone among other things.
19	-->'''Gene:''' You're not a hermit! You're not even a camper! You're a ''glamper''! Yech!
20	* GiantFlyer: Tina's ImagineSpot of getting to the top of Mount Windygap has her riding a giant bald eagle.
21	* GilliganCut:
22	** Linda and Bob decide to do something fun for the evening. Cut to them asleep on the couch. It happens again the second night, with a SmashCut from Bob midsentence and both of them already dressed up to party.
23	** Tina declares that this is the last time anyone will hear "Fluffy Butt". Cut to everyone singing the jingle at the bus.
24	* GrowsOnTrees: Gene thinks sausage comes from trees.
25	* HermitGuru: Martha, the "Hermit" who has been giving Tina some questionable life advice.
26	* HypocriticalHumor:
27	** Jocelyn & Tammy call out Tina for seemingly calling Tammy names even though they have been calling Tina "Fluffy Butt" the whole trip (and call her that ''while calling her out''). Tina quickly points out their bullshit, and even Jimmy Jr. and Zeke aren't amused.
28	** When Bob remarks that he and Linda are too old to party, Linda says "''[[NoYou You're]]'' [[NoYou old]]". Not only is there not even a year separating the two, but there's a [[VagueAge distinct possibility]] that ''Linda'' is the older of the two[[note]]"[[Recap/BobsBurgersS5E18EatSprayLinda Eat, Spray, Linda]]" confirms Linda just turned either 44 or 45, and "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS5E6FatherOfTheBob Father of the Bob]]" listed Bob as 44, with his birthday in "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS7E18TheLaserinth The Laser-inth]]" making him currently 45--if Linda turned 45 in the former episode, that would make her the older of the two because her birthday comes first[[/note]].
29	* IHaveThisFriend: Bob "knew a kid who had to change schools because of a nickname," said nickname being "Bobby Belchbottoms." Tina seems to buy that this was just a random boy from her dad's past, despite the nickname basically giving it away as well as ignoring how Bob gets angry immediately when she tries to ask further questions about the boy.
30	* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Despite acting as some sort of camping expert, Martha knows as much about being a hermit as Gene knows about the origin of sausage (read: nothing).
31	* NotNowKiddo: Gene and Louise try to warn Mr. Frond about Tina going to the mountain alone, but he's too busy dealing with the other kids and puts their warning at the bottom of the list of things all the kids are complaining about, thinking it's just another prank.
32	* NotSoAboveItAll: Even Mr. Frond joins the kids on the bus in singing the "Fluffy Butt" song even though they were doing it to mock Tina. A throwaway line from Gene indicates that even the ''morning announcements'' (presumably done by Ms. [=LaBonz=]) used it.
33	* PetTheDog: It's very brief, but shortly after Tina returns from visiting Martha, Jimmy Jr. actually calls her by her name instead of "Fluffy Butt".
34	* PollyWantsAMicrophone: A crow apparently heard everyone calling Tina "Fluffy Butt" and repeats it when they're at Mount Windygap. Fortunately, she's over the nickname by that point.
35	* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: It's a ShoutOut to the famous GospelMusic song "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Tell_It_on_the_Mountain_(song) Go Tell It on the Mountain]]".
36	* {{Portmanteau}}: Tina wants to be called Teagle (Tina + eagle) after she gets her "nature epiphany". Jimmy Jr. doesn't get it at first.
37	* RainRainGoAway: The Belcher kids are stuck indoors on their school road trip after rain causes Camp Windygap to stop outdoor activities.
38	* SamusIsAGirl: Ranger Carl refers to the Windygap Hermit as a male, but shortly after it's revealed that the hermit is a female named Martha. Carl doesn't realize this until the two meet up to help rescue Tina from Mount Windygap.
39	* SoProudOfYou: Teddy tells Bob this when he learns about the party Bob and Linda threw at their apartment.
40	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Living in the wild on your own for weeks at a time is way more difficult than it sounds. Within just a ''day'' of camping, Martha resorts to stealing from the ranger's cabin, and relies heavily on modern luxuries just to not go insane.
41	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The "Fluffy Butt" song from the commercial sounds awfully similar to "Lollipop", a song famously covered by The Chordettes.
42	* WildTeenParty: An adult version of this involves Bob & Linda inviting everyone in the dance club to their apartment for an afterparty. They even try to cover up their tracks--not so they won't get in trouble (since they can't ground themselves), but so their kids don't interpret it as a green light to pull the same stunt.
