Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitch: At the start, Will is describing his perfect idea for Hattie's visit. He describes animal exhibits and carnival rides, leading the audience to think he's describing an amusement park. Then Ashley says this:
--> '''Ashley''': Will, for the last time, we are ''not'' breaking into Michael Jackson's house!

* NoodleIncident: Somehow Hattie managed to negotiate with the ticket salesman, snack vendors and gift shop cashier until they gave them what they wanted for less than half the usual price and a picture of her late husband. Will still can't figure out how she did it.

* ValuesDissonance: Averted; Hattie likes the same music Will does to the point that she happily goes to the concert with him (and was having a great time until Phil showed up). She also encourages Will to sneak out with her to the concert, noting that she did the same thing back when she was a teenager.

Added DiffLines:

* DisproportionateRetribution: Phil is furious to find Hattie dancing to music Will was playing and proceeds to ground him and forbid him from going to concert.


Added DiffLines:

* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: Phil drives Hattie up the wall with his attempts at caring for her as she recuperates from an illness, to the point of basically forbidding her to do anything because she needs to rest. The final straw for her is when he grounds Will because she was dancing to some music that he was playing.

* OverprotectiveDad: In an interesting application, Uncle Phil is this not only to Will and his kids but ''his own mother'', which she calls him out for.

* DotingGrandparent: Hattie to Will and the Banks kids; Uncle Phil initially tries to stop her from exerting herself, but she gets her way in the end.

* SleepingDummy: Employed by Will and Hattie to sneak off to the concert. Viewing the technique alone as outdated, Will brings it up a notch by playing a tape recording of him snoring to further fool his family (which might have worked, had Hattie playing this trope straight not been discovered and led the Bankses to his room to confront him).

* SuspectIsHatless: When Philip and Carlton go backstage at the concert to look for Hattie and Will:
-->'''Stage Hand:''' Where do you think you're going?
-->'''Philip:''' Pardon me. Have you seen a kid in wild, colorful clothing with an earring in his ear and the sides of his head shaved?

* BriarPatching: Attempted humorously by Will when Uncle Phil grounds him, as he tries to reason that since Uncle Phil hates rap music, it would logically be a punishment in his eyes to make Will go to a Music/HeavyD concert. Uncle Phil does not fall for it.



** Comedically averted when Uncle Phil accidentally wanders onto the stage; the concert-goers are immediately aware he's not Music/HeavyD and begin booing him.

Added DiffLines:

Grandma Hattie visits the Banks household after having a bout with the flu. Uncle Phil insists that she spend the whole time resting, but the very restless Hattie decides to go out to a concert with Will instead.

!!Tropes
*CelebrityResemblance: A RunningGag with Grandma Hattie at the concert, with guests mistaking her for Music/QueenLatifah ''and'' Music/EllaFitzgerald. This exasperates Will, but Hattie runs with it.
**Comedically averted when Uncle Phil accidentally wanders onto the stage; the concert-goers are immediately aware he's not Music/HeavyD and begin booing him.
*{{Dissimile}}: Hattie encourages Will to go out with a girl at the mall with a metaphor about cows mating in the summer. Will still uses it, and the girl fails to understand it, but takes a liking due to his hair.
*DotingGrandparent: Hattie to Will and the Banks kids; Uncle Phil initially tries to stop her from exerting herself, but she gets her way in the end.
*EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The driver that Will arranges to take them from Bel-Air to the Heavy D concert is only referred to as "The Captain".
*{{Groupie}}: When Phil enters the backstage area looking for his mother, he is amusingly mistaken for one by security.
*LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: The main [[AnAesop Aesop]] of the episode, as an exasperated Hattie pleads with her son to let her enjoy herself and not be consumed with worry over her health.
*OverprotectiveDad: In an interesting application, Uncle Phil is this not only to Will and his kids but ''his own mother'', which she calls him out for.
