After getting teased about his name, Verne decides to use time travel to fix his problem.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* EmbarrassingFirstName: After being bullied about his name, Verne goes back in time to convince the real Creator/JulesVerne to change his name; failing at that, he travelled back to his own birth to convince his parents to name him something else. Neither of these plans works out.
* KidsAreCruel: Verne decides he needs to change his name after a group of schoolmates mock him with nicknames like [[MaliciousMisnaming "La-Verne" and "Verne the Worm."]]
* ImMrFuturePopCultureReference: A number of the alternate names Verne suggests to his namesake author or his parents-to-be reference characters he thinks are cool.
* MisplacedRetribution: Verne irritates Jules Verne, who turns and {{glove slap}}s Marty. When the teen protests he didn't do anything, Jules Verne answers that a Frenchman doesn't strike children.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Subverted; while he's still named Verne in the present day, Verne's parents named him after the stranger who helped them when their second son was born: himself.
* ShoutOut:
** The title refers to a famous line from ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''.
** The bear Marty encounters is called "[[Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies Elly May]]".
