Guy invents the skateboard — or as he dubs it, the "rollerlog" — and the others take to it fast.
Tropes for this episode include:
- Anachronism Stew: Guy invents the skateboard thousands of years before it would have been in Real Life. He even starts talking like a skater-bro from The '90s.
- Bait-and-Switch: When it looks like Hope is going to turn into a Moral Guardian when she sees the rollerlogs, she actually becomes the most welcoming of them when she sees how good Dawn is with it.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: While Eep, Dawn and Guy are showing off the rollerlogs, he speaks directly to the camera, everything else going into slow-motion, as if he's advertising them to the audience.Guy: They're Rollerlogs! Logs you roll on!
- Like a Duck Takes to Water: Dawn is proven to be a natural on the rollerlog.
- Mundane Made Awesome: Guy invented the skateboard as a way to help Thunk "move without moving" and everyone starts using it to move at high-speeds and do gnarly tricks.
- Simple, yet Awesome: While the rollerlogs are "wheels on a stick" as Phil puts it, even he admits that it's more awesome than the more complex and practical things he's made. In classic Phil fashion, his attempts at making improvements to it make it a giant bulky mess.
