* AllegoricalCharacter: Since it was Don Juan who suggested to Gustafson that he steals Jeronicus' book of inventions along with Buddy instead of suggesting Gustafson improves on his own skills on top of his narcissistic personality, one could say Don Juan represents Gustafson's lack of faith in his own talents and desire for attention.



* MentorsNewHope: Journey and, eventually, Edison for Jeronicus.

* VillainSong: "Borrow Indefinitely" is dripping with Don Juan's ego and manipulation. "Magic Man G" also qualifies.

While Journey did bring hope back to Jeronicus, the trope Hope Bringer is more for characters who bring hope on a larger scale, and the world at large isn't really falling apart without her help.


* HopeBringer: Journey coming along is the catalyst in Jeronicus pulling himself out of his decades-long funk and finding a new lease on life.



* JadeColoredGlasses: Jeronicus begins the story as a wide-eyed, enthusiastic artist who wholeheartedly believes hard work and being a good person will pay off. Then the plot happens, and he grows into a cynical, grumpy shut-in. [[HopeBringer Journey]] reawakens the idealist in him.

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Jeronicus was terrified he'd mess up and make Jessica's life worse, so he pushed her away... destroying their relationship and thus making her life worse.

Spelling fix.


* ChekovsGun: The ink of the pen that Jeronicus gives Journey to sign a contract with at the beginning of her stay appears completely invisible, until held to the light in his shop. [[spoiler: Journey uses this to secretly mark all of the plans for Buddy 3000 as property of her grandfather, suspecting that Gustafson would try to steal them and claim them as his own, which saves the day for the Jangles and reveals Gustafson as a thief.]]

* IAmGreatSong: "Magic Man G"G", in which the now-famous Gustafson boasts about himself and his newly-modified Twirly-Whirly toy.


Added DiffLines:

** As per usual, we have Keegan-Michael Key as the grownup Gustafson. His big VillainSong is about as [[ChewingTheScenery scenery-chewing]] as you'd expect, and even ends with him channeling Music/JamesBrown.
