Static deals with Rubberman, an musician who seeks revenge against a corrupt music producer who stole his song to give another musician.
Tropes for this episode include:
- Almost Out of Oxygen: DJ Rock tricks Rubberband Man and locks him in his airtight vault. He almost suffocates before Static opens it.
- Beyond Redemption: When Rubberband Man proceeds to attempt to take his revenge on D.J. Rock, Static, who initially treated him as a Tragic Villain, loses all sympathy for him and treats him like another criminal who deserves persecution in the former's later appearances, even after his Heel–Face Turn until Static eventually would later forgive him.
- Broken Pedestal: Played with. It's not just one person Virgil and Richie are disappointed in, but a whole network of people who stole the songs of many talented musicians (including Rubberband Man) and took credit as their own just to make a quick buck. As such, after Richie finds the CD for the company's music album, both he and Virgil can't think of anything better to do with it than throw it in the trash.
- In the meantime, after Rubberband Man appeared to brush off Static's attempts to help, the latter loses all sympathy for him from that point on the next time they meet and initially skeptical of his actual Heel–Face Turn later on.
- Burger Fool: The Trope Namer is derived from the fast-food place Static is forced to take a job at.
- But for Me, It Was Tuesday: When D.J. Rock asks what the odds would be that he’d steal a Bang Baby's song, one of his bodyguards says that the odds are pretty good since he stole from so many people.
- Fat Bastard: D.J. Rock isn't exactly the nicest or thinnest character. Weighing in three times the average man, he stole his songs from so many artists and threw them under the bus when he was finished with them. What's more, he was even willing to let Rubberband Man suffocate inside his air-tight safe, much to Static's disapproval.
- Foreshadowing: Rubberband Man provides two:
- His "helmet" has cornrows, the same hairstyle Ebon has.
- When he has Static at his mercy in their first encounter and is about to finish him off, he declares him as not being the enemy and leaves, showing he's not as bad as he seems.
- Ignored Epiphany: Static tries to reason with Rubberband Man that he doesn't need to take revenge and the man who wronged him will face justice. But Rubberband Man claims it's no longer about justice, but about his "street cred".
- Ninja Log: Static pulls one on Rubberband Man using an electrified pile of money. As he so puts it, "Kawarimi — ancient ninja art of misdirection. All you need is a get up some idiot can mistake you for, and some idiot."
- Oh, No... Not Again!: Ice Pack says this line when Static subjects him to a High-Altitude Interrogation mere minutes after Rubberband Man did one to him.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Subverted. D.J. Rock claims he's going to set up a proper credited deal with Rubberband Man and give him a generous monetary peace offering because it's clearly more practical than screwing Rubberband Man over now that D.J. Rock knows how dangerous an enemy he can be. In reality this was a ruse to lure Rubberband Man into his airtight safe.
- Tempting Fate: D.J. Rock doesn't mind going to jail because he'll soon get out and become a legend but Static says that, with his arrest, his other victims will speak up and build a solid case against him. He'll be an old man by the time he's released.
