Honeybee and Wolf discover an Outback-themed restaurant they can't stop going to despite being one of the many places Beef forbids his family to enter due to being places where a drunk Kathleen made a scene; Beef confronts his fear of small talk when it's his turn to host the Knife Club and he gets Londra to help him.
Tropes:
- Couch Gag:
- The boat in the opening is Dude, Where's My Carp?
- Starting with this episode, during the family board game scene at the end of the intro, Wolf is seen wearing a T-shirt with a fart-related pun on the front. The design on Wolf's T-Shirt says "DTF, Down To Fart."
- Forbidden Zone: Beef has a list of places the family is not allowed to go because they hold bad memories for Beef of when his ex-wife got too drunk and made a scene. Along with Crocodile Rob's, they include a bowling alley, a magic show theater, and a seedy bar named Danky's. The other Tobins eventually visit all of them and find them enjoyable (except for Danky's, which is an obvious Bad Guy Bar that they don't even bother going inside).
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: The yeti can be spotted drinking a couple of beer behind Danky's Bar on the far right of the screen when Wolf and the others arrive at the bar.
- Hates Small Talk: It's not that Beef hates small talk, but he is afraid of it because his experience with Kathleen has closed him off being casual with others. With Londra's help, he gradually learns how to do small talk so he can be more open at the knife club meetings.
- I Have No Son!: The Tobins think this has happened after Beef finds out they've been going to Crocodile Rob's. This turns out to be not the case.
- Kitschy Themed Restaurant: Crocodile Rob's is an Australia-themed restaurant. Decorations include boomerangs and koala crossing signs on the walls and two stuffed crocodiles in the middle of the floor.
- Misplaced Wildlife: Crocodile Rob's decorations include a kiwi model. Kiwis are native to New Zealand, not Australia. Granted, this may be a mistake on part of the restaurant.
- Musical Episode: Contains 3 Musical Numbers excluding the End Credits.
- Plot-Driven Breakdown: The episode begins with the van breaking down in the middle of the road during a cold winter day. With the tow truck not arriving for two hours and no other places to stay warm nearby, Wolf and Honeybee are forced to go into Crocodile Rob's, one of the places Beef has forbidden them to go. Discovering that the place is not as bad as Beef suggested sets up the rest of the plot.
- Your Worst Memory: The list of places Beef forbids the Tobins from going were places that held bad memories of Kathleen's alcoholism. After he discovers that his family went to Crocodile Rob's, he briefly goes into shock; after he recovers, he confesses that he also had good memories of going there and realizes that he shouldn't let the bad memories define his life and that of his loved ones.
Beef:
♫ In the beginning there was nothing (Nothing) ♫
Londra:
♫ But then the emptiness farted (Farted) ♫
Both:
♫ Out came the stars and planets
That's how everything started
It's a space fart that keeps on getting bigger
13.8 billion years so far
Our lifespans are a fraction of that figure
About .0000006% ♫
Beef:
♫ We're all in this space fart with each other ♫
Londra:
♫ So be kind and call your mother ♫
Beef:
♫ We're just a twinkle in space ♫
Londra:
♫ So why not learn to play the bass? ♫
