- Accidental Hero: Lee unexpectedly uncovers the identity of the school thief, who just happened to be the same person that was messing with his bag during the prank.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Ed the water-boy, who was seen throughout the episode, is the school thief as well the scab-handed culprit.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: Ed's reasoning for becoming the school thief is that he helped the team perform their best to win the championship but he wasn't allowed to share in the glory.
- Enhance Button: Lee uses this on the picture of the supposed culprit's hand and discovers that it has a scab right above his ring-finger which is also wearing a football championship ring.
- Jerk Jocks: The A. Nigma Tazelwurms football team.
- Memento MacGuffin: Steve's family heirloom, an old lucky towel.
- Red Herring: None of the football players messed with Lee's bag; it was actually the beleaguered water-boy wearing a stolen championship ring.
- And the water-boy wasn't the mystery prankster either; he just took a can of paint out of the bag.
- This Is Reality: When the plan becomes for Lee to disguise himself in a football uniform, he's worried about Barrage seeing through it because of his robot eye. Biffy laughs at him for it and says this is real life, not a movie.
- Training from Hell: Barrage employs this for the football team try-outs.
