"See you on the other side, Principal Louise."
"We're talking innapropriate comic books, fireworks, fake vomit..."
—Louise, about the taken itens
When her principal for a day job turns out to be useless and ceremonial, Louise takes matters into her own hands and enforces real, fun changes. Back at the restaurant, Bob deals with the yips.
- Ambiguous Situation: Principal Spoors and Don are brothers-in-law, but who married whose sibling isn't clear. It's to the point that Don himself doesn't even know.
- Apathetic Teacher: Miss LaBonz is willing to tolerate Louise's blatant rulebreaking because she doesn't care.
- Centipede's Dilemma: Teddy questioning Bob's burger flipping technique completely breaks his brain. According to Linda, the same thing happened when she asked him how he ties a tie. He couldn't tie one for 5 years after.
- Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: In-Universe. Linda and Teddy misinterpret Bull Durham as Bill Durham and think Bill is one of the characters.
- Dramatic Irony: Frond is relieved that Don being hired will mean he finally gets help with his job. He has no idea that he's about to lose his job.Louise: Look at him. Mr. Frond has no idea what's going on.
Tina: He's orienting his own executioner. - Epic Fail: Don is somehow worse at his job than Frond.
- First-Name Basis: While acting as principal, Louise refers to Mr. Frond as Phillip.
- Foreign Culture Fetish: The fact that Jimmy Pesto has Italian flag-themed underwear says it all.
- The Ghost: Principal Spoors is conveniently out of town, enabling Louise's plan to become a real principal for a day.
- God for a Day: Louise thought being principal for a day would be this, but is disappointed to find that it's a purely ceremonial position with no power and she completes all her intended duties in 15 minutes and is told to go back to pretending she's a regular student for the rest of the day. So naturally, she breaks into the principal's office, gets his secretary on her side by letting her use the principal's private bathroom (she has trouble urinating in public bathrooms) and uses his memo pad to make new rules for the school. Rather surprisingly, Louise's rules don't end up backfiring on her and Ms. Jacobson mentions the triple recess apparently helped a lot of kids focus.
- Goofy Print Underwear: Teddy steals a pair of Italian-flag-print briefs from Jimmy Pesto for Bob to wear.
- I Have This Friend: During the assembly, Regular-Sized Rudy asks the new counselor Don about a friend who has asthma and whose parents are divorced. After Don runs away, Rudy confesses that he was talking about himself all along.
- I Need to Go Iron My Dog: Don gets overwhelmed by the kids asking him questions, and excuses himself by saying he left an ice-cream cake in his car before running away.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Frond might not be much of a guidance counselor but he's right when he says Don's utterly unqualified—in fact, Don makes Frond look like the best guidance counselor in the world. It's implied that Spoors only hired Don because of nepotism.
- Kick the Dog: While it's clear Principal Spoors has every reason not to like Mr. Frond, the fact he was willing to give the job to his brother-in-law, who clearly has no qualifications at all and would've most likely been worse than Frond, was still something of a dick move.
- Lampshade Hanging: Ms. Schnur scoffs at Spoors attending a "leadership conference", fully aware that Spoors doesn't actually do anything to lead Wagstaff.
- Live but Delayed: Frond goes to catch Louise during her interview with Tammy, but by the time he gets there she's long gone. Tammy points out that the school doesn't air news live, there's a delay in case kids swear.
- Magic Feather: Inspired by Bull Durham, Teddy suggests that Bob wear Linda's underwear to cure himself of "the yips". Neither is willing to do this, so Teddy comes up with the next best thing: wearing Jimmy Pesto's underwear.
- Nepotism: Who's Principal Spoors's first choice to replace Mr. Frond? His brother-in-law, of course, despite him being more unqualified than Frond ever could be.
- Paralysis by Analysis: Bob gets "the yips" from thinking too hard about flipping burgers.
- The Password Is Always "Swordfish": After struggling with the combination lock to the confiscation locker, Louise discovers that the principal had the combination written on the lock itself. The combination is "1111".
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The episode title is a reference to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
- Shout-Out: Louise won the fundraiser competition in part by selling some of her chocolate bars to Gene, who she convinced that one of the bars had a golden ticket.
- We Want Our Jerk Back!: Louise is at first happy that Mr. Frond is getting fired, but eventually she feels sorry for him, both because she feels like she fired him personally and because the replacement barely knows anything about the job, so she conspires to scare off the replacement and get Frond reinstated.
- Your Mom: When Frond calls Don unqualified, Don tries to say "That's not what your mom says", only to accidentally say "That's not what my mom says".
