The Bucket List: In an attempt to get Ichabeezer to cheer up and not be so moody all the time, Bob and Larry strive to give him the best day of his life, by having him do all the things on his Bucket List. In the end, everyone learns a lesson about being kind to everyone, even your enemies.
A Gift for Singing: After ten years of business, Pa Grape decides that it's time to have a theme song for his store, so he enlists Madame Blueberry to sing the new theme song. Madame Blueberry then discovers that Petunia sings so much better than she does, while Ichabeezer strives to write his own theme song for Pa's store.
Tropes found in The Bucket List:
- Agitated Item Stomping: Ichabeezer angrily stomps on the mustache that has been glued on his face, after pulling it off his face (since he's allergic to mustaches).
- Angrish: Ichabeezer ends up degenerating into this, while singing lead vocals in a screamo band.
- Big "WHAT?!": Bob does one after reading the fine print on Ichabeezer's bucket list that the bucket list is actually for things that Ichabeezer will never do.
- The Chew Toy: Ichabeezer ends up becoming this, thanks to Bob and Larry's attempts at doing everything on his bucket list.
- Fire-Breathing Diner: Happens to Ichabeezer, after Bob and Larry give him Sardine-Marshmallow Pie with a Ghost Pepper crust.
- Motor Mouth: Larry delves into this when telling Ichabeezer the bible verse from Luke 6:35 about loving your enemies and doing good for them without expecting anything back.
- Perfectly Cromulent Word: "maximum kindosity"
- Pie in the Face: Bob and Larry shove a pie into Ichabeezer's face, which is Sardine-Marshmallow Pie with a Ghost Pepper crust.
- Shout-Out:
- This episode takes its name from the 2007 film of the same name starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
- This episode seems to take a couple of elements from those of the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Mid-Life Crustacean", and the The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episode "Donkey for a Day".
Tropes found in A Gift for Singing:
- Eat the Camera: The camera zooms right into Ichabeezer's mouth while he is laughing.
- Evil Laugh: Ichabeezer sports a rather impressive one throughout the episode.
- Faux Horrific: "Help! Cucumber baby-man!"
- Green-Eyed Monster: Ichabeezer becomes this in response to Madame Blueberry, and later Petunia, being chosen to sing the new theme song for Pa's store. Also, Larry, to a lesser extent, in regards to Laura selling Juice Pops.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Ichabeezer intends to have Madame Blueberry give Petunia some dry bark tea that will make Petunia bark like a dog and not be able to sing, but Madame Blueberry refuses to go through with it, instead throwing the tea bag in the trash. At the end, Rooney takes the tea bag from the trash and places it in a cup of water that Ichabeezer was about to drink, and when Ichabeezer drinks it, you can pretty much guess what happens next.
- Intelligible Unintelligible: Ichabeezer seems to understand what Rooney is saying, despite the fact that Rooney can only communicate in barks.
- Jaw Drop: Larry's reaction to Laura's better sales pitch at selling Juice Pops.
- Pun: "Don't wait on me, Petunia. I'll ketchup."
- Tampering with Food and Drink: What ultimately happens to Ichabeezer at the end, when Rooney drops the dry bark tea bag that Ichabeezer wanted Madame Blueberry to give to Petunia into his cup of water.
