* ImprovisationalIngenuity: With Kelly's hardware store closed, Manny and the tools have to resort to this in order to fix some spotlights- a light that won't turn is greased with soap, one that won't stay pointed at what it's supposed to is tied in place with a jump rope, and a light that fell out of the ceiling entirely is hung from a basketball hoop. They also take [[EverythingIsAnInstrument a similar approach]] when replacing Kyle's broken drum.

'''Time Out'''

Manny and the tools are called by Mayor Rosa- the town clock is running an hour slow, and urgently needs to be brought back up to the correct time.

!! "Time Out" contains instances of:
* ChekhovsGun: The birdhouse Manny was making at the beginning of the episode ends up being used to rehome a family of birds who made their nest in the workings of the town clock.
* ClockworksArea: Manny and the tools spend a good amount of time in the innards of the big clock at City Hall, trying to find what's wrong with it.
* DoomedSupermarketDisplay: A display Mr. Lopart was building outside his store ends up being this after Fluffy jumps on Mr. Lopart and causes him to stumble and fall into it.
* KnewItAllAlong:
-->'''Felipe''': A jaula is a birdhouse, Pat.\\
'''Pat''': Right! I knew that... sorta.
* LiteralMinded:
-->'''Pat''': The [[GratuitousSpanish reloj grande]] is running slow? Well, at least it should be easy to catch.
* MeaningfulName: The tools end up naming two of the birds that made their nest in the town clock "Beaker" and "Peep".
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The male bird is blue, while the two female birds are a shade of beige-approaching-pink.
* PokemonSpeak: The tools [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this by naming one of the birds that ended up inhabiting Manny's birdhouse "Peep".
* PunBasedTitle: On the concept of a "timeout", and "running out of time".
* PunnyName: One of the birds that made its nest in the town clock ends up being named "Nestor" by the tools.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Two of the birds seen in the birdhouse at the end have eyelashes to mark them as female. Oh, and they also have (ornithologically-correct) drab plumage, to contrast with male bird (which is bright blue).

'''Shine Bright'''

Mrs. Hillary calls Manny to repair some spotlights in the elementary school gym, in preparation for the school band's concert later that night. Then one of the spotlights falls from the ceiling, and breaks the concert's only snare drum- and then things go from bad to worse as Manny finds that Kelly's store is closed

!! "Shine Bright" provides examples of the following tropes:
* BlindedByTheLight: Manny, the tools, and Mrs. Hillary are briefly blinded when Felipe turns on a spotlight that's pointed straight at them.
* ChekhovsGun: Spiffy Soap, seen being advertised on ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Wing And Nut Show]]'' at the beginning of the episode, ends up being used by Manny in order to grease a stuck spotlight when a closure of Kelly's hardware store prevents him from acquiring actual grease.
* ExpositoryThemeTune: ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Wing And Nut Show]]'' now has one.
--> I'm Wing\\
I'm Nut\\
We're hardware in a rut\\
We've gotta fix our house in a hurry!\\
(So scurry!)\\
And sit down in your seat\\
It's gonna be real neat\\
We'll show you that we're\\
Really really\\
Very very very\\
[[IncrediblyLongNote HANDYYYYYYYY!]]
* EverythingIsAnInstrument: The tools end up resorting to this in order to replace Kyle's broken drum (and give themselves a chance to perform in the school concert). Specifically, Kyle hits his drumsticks together before drumming on a trash can lid (which is being held by Rusty), Dusty scrapes against a chalkboard, Felipe and Turner ding an old fire alarm bell, Squeeze shakes a jar of beads like a maraca, Pat drums on a bucket, and Stretch strums rubber bands that had been placed over a frame made to resemble a guitar.
* GrossGumGag: Pat ends up getting stuck on a wad of gum someone had left on the floor of the supply closet.
* IncrediblyLongNote: The theme song of ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Wing And Nut Show]]'' ends on a very long, stretched-out, "HANDYYYYYY!".
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Felipe does this with a spotlight.
-->'''Felipe''': I think it's working!\\
//The spotlight immediately falls out of the ceiling, crashing down on Kyle's drum//
* LastPlaceYouLook: The keys Mr. Lopart lost turn out to have been in his front door the whole time.
* LiteralMinded: Pat interprets Manny saying they should "put our heads together" as meaning he should lean his head against Turner's.
* ParodyProductPlacement: ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Wing And Nut Show]]'' is sponsored by Spiffy Soap, something Wing and Nut are only too happy to remind their viewers of.
-->'''Rusty''': Aww. Commercial.
* SelfBotchedCatchphrase: After the tools make a mess of his workshop imitating Wing and Nut (ItMakesSenseInContext), Manny accidentally answers the phone with "We break it, you fix it", before correcting himself.
* ShowWithinAShow: ''The Wing And Nut Show'' makes a return at the beginning of the episode, with the tools watching it... and making a mess trying to imitate its theme song while the show itself is on a commercial break.
* StickySituation: Pat briefly becomes stuck on a wad of chewing gum while checking out the school's supply closet.
