2
3!! Tropes:
4
5* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: The ''Fletcher Family Flying Circus'' biplane is done in CGI.
6* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Roger gave his father a giant version of the lawn gnome, which also makes espresso.
7* BaitAndSwitch: When Doof reaches the Gimmelstump antique store, he picks up what is believed to be lawn gnome [=DAEHM23=], but is actually the proprietor of the shop who looks and dresses like the lawn gnome.
8* BorrowedCatchphrase: Grandpa Reg asks where Perry is.
9* ComedicUnderwearExposure: During the song "Fletcher Family Flying Circus", a man has his suit ripped off by the winds that Reginald's biplane picked up when it flew close to the ground, leaving the man in just his socks, shoes, and [[GoofyPrintUnderwear heart-printed boxer shorts]].
10* CreatureOfHabit: When Doof's dad repairs the lawn gnome, he tells it ''"Bewige sie Nicht!"'', even though it is already inanimate and cannot move anyway.
11* DemotedToExtra: Candace only has two brief cameos at the beginning and end.
12* HalfwayPlotSwitch: Doof's evil scheme involving chewing gum is immediately thwarted before Doof complains about Father's Day.
13* HumanCannonball: This is how Doof and Perry travel to Drusselstein and back to Danville.
14* InTheStyleOf: The "Fletcher Family Flying Circus" song is done in the manner of British music hall.
15* MissedHimByThatMuch: Reg flies the biplane out of sight just before both Linda and Candace return.
16* ParentalSubstitute: Carl apparently sees Monogram as this, as he gave him a tie for Father's Day. Monogram appreciates the gift, but has to remind Carl he is ''not'' his father.
17* ShaggyDogStory: Downplayed. Doofenshmirtz tries to find the repossessed family lawn gnome, and when Perry finds it online via a specialized gnome-searching database, they travel to Drusselstein and buy it from a Pawn Shop. He takes it to his father's house, only to trip and drop the gnome, making it shatter. However, the moment Doofenshmirtz leaves, his father notices the serial number and rebuilds the gnome to place outside the house.
18* ShoutOut:
19** When Doof travels by HumanCannonball to Druselstein, he misses one, which he reacts by saying, "[[Series/GetSmart Missed it by]] ''[[Series/GetSmart that]]'' [[Series/GetSmart much]]."
20** During the song, the plane chases a man in the style of ''Film/NorthByNorthwest''.
21* VocalEvolution: Doof's narration of the lawn gnome story is taken word-for-word from the original script of "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbLawnGnomeBeachPartyOfTerror Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror]]", although Dan Povenmire re-recorded it for this episode. When comparing the original line reading to the one here, there is less emphasis on Doof's Eastern European accent.
