Buckle up, duckies! The Rocket Van is about to get some sweet modifications from ace-mechanic Ketta.

Tropes:

  • Advanced Tech 2000 / Thing-O-Matic: Ketta’s “10000 Duck Power Turbo-Charged High-Suction Diesel Electric Bread Sprinkler-inator 3000”.
  • Ash Face: Ketta gets blasted by the new rockets on the souped up Rocket Van after SwaySway speeds off at full throttle.
    Ketta: So that's how burnt toast feels.
  • Ass Kicks You: Much like his duck counterpart, B2D2 uses his butt to hit SwaySway and Buhdeuce and kick them out of the cockpit.
  • Body Horror: Buhdeuce is shown taking a bite out of his own eye, with his brain visible through the empty socket.
  • Bring My Brown Pants: Buhdeuce’s reaction when the Rocket Van’s super fast upgrades shoot them into space.
    SwaySway: I think...we're out of gas.
    Buhdeuce: I think...I'm out of clean underwear.
  • Flaying Alive: The rocket blasters Ketta upgraded the Rocket Van with are so powerful that it sends the boys into space at high speed, ripping the skin off of their faces and showing the muscles underneath.
  • Gross-Up Close-Up: After their robot counterparts give them some time off, the boys wonder what to do with themselves and Buhdeuce suggests they smell each other’s armpits. Cue a closeup on his disgustingly dirty armpit that has a fish sticking out of it saying, “Help me.”
  • Mondegreen Gag: After the first time Ketta upgrades the Rocket Van, she tells the boys to take it easy but they can’t hear her over the sound of the rockets.
    Ketta: Just remember, go easy on the throttle!
    SwaySway: Got it! Going full throttle!
  • Robot Me: Ketta’s final invention to help SwaySway and Buhdeuce beat their delivery record is a robot version of each of them. Unsurprisingly, the robots turn evil and want to take the boys’ place as the city’s bread deliverers.
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: When the robot counterparts are falling from space back to Pondgea, they yell "Frightened scream!"
  • Shout-Out: The names of the boys’ robot twins, Sway 3PO and B2D2, sure sound similar to another pair of robots.
  • Sudden Anatomy: To (apparently) show his dedication to breaking their bread delivery record, Buhdeuce rips off his shirt to show an alarmingly muscular chest, out of which comes an equally muscular third arm that karate chops his laptop in half.
  • Who Is Driving?: While SwaySway and Buhdeuce are fighting their robot twins on top of the Rocket Van, SwaySway wonders who’s driving the van. After the realization that nobody is, they all come crashing back to earth.
