* ArmorPiercingQuestion: The Clone of Stinkmeaner wonders exactly why he is so physically old when he was just created a few years back; which was just a few days before the original Stinkmeaner was killed.
-->'''Stinkmeaner Clone''': Why am I so old?
-->'''Scientist''': [[FlatWhat What?]]
-->'''Stinkmeaner Clone''': If you cloned me when you say you did, shouldn't I still be a little kid?

* BrickJoke: Early in the episode, Huey tells Granddad in order to beat Stinkmeaner and leave the Nigga Moment altogether is to be reasonable and act more like [[Creator/FredRogers Mister Rogers]] [[spoiler: Later in the same episode when Granddad is slowly slipping into his Nigga Moment and is starting to become more like Stinkmeaner, he ends up rear-ending a parked car belonging to a white family whose father looks exactly like Mister Rogers.]]



* GoneHorriblyRight: Riley trains Robert to focus on Stinkmeaner's anger and put it into his training against the latter. It works ''too'' well as Robert soon becomes another Stinkmeaner.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Granddad getting constantly fed up with how Stinkmeaner is able to keep coming back time and again is forced to fight against him, and over the course of the episode during his training, Granddad slowly begins to take on the characteristics and mannerisms of Stinkmeaner. Friedrich Nietzsches' famous quote is actually shown before the very start of the episode.
* HonorBeforeReason: In a way, this is Rileys' M.O. when it comes to what Granddad should do to face his Nigga Moment by simply fighting against Stinkmeaner instead of informing the authorities to have Stinkmeaner arrested.
* MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning: It turns out that the original Stinkmeaner had himself cloned just a few days before his first fight against Robert Freeman, and it was only now that the Clone was fully-developed enough to fulfill the original Stinkmeaners' last request.
--> "Dear Me, Please go fuck with Robert J. Freeman. Warm regards, Nigga. O.G.
Stinkmeaner."
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Ed Wuncler I bails Stinkmeaner out of jail after he was arrested, and bribes the District Attorney to drop the case entirely. He also states that he technically owns the Freemans House and informs that they are underwater on their payments, and threatens to have them evicted if Robert doesn't fight Stinkmeaner.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: the CatapultNightmare that Robert has where he is on Dagobah and about to enter the Dark Side Cave to fight against Stinkmeaner in a Darth Vader suit, only for the faceplate to explode on stinkmeaners decapitated head to reveal Robert underneath.
-->'''"Darth Stinkmeaner"''': That's right, Robert. I'm you!
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Taken for drama in that while Stinkmeaners' Clone spent his two weeks appearing on talk shows and promoting the upcoming fight against Robert Freeman due to the enhancements that were provided to him that made him better than the original Stinkmeaner when Robert first fought. Robert actually spent the two weeks training that it closed the gap between when he and the Clone first fought; rendering the enhancements completely obsolete.
