The Diaper Change | |
| Burglar Bill / int_2489e8bd | comment |
The Diaper Change: Bill is forced to change the baby's nappy. Apart from being forced to use an old towel (since he doesn't have any more nappies), he doesn't do too bad a job. | |

| Burglar Bill / int_65e9d9df | comment |
Fooled by the Sound: After Burglar Bill has stolen a big brown box with little holes in it, he suddenly hears a noise that sounds like police cars. When he realises it is coming from the box, he opens it, to discover a crying baby. | |

Sticky Fingers: Played for laughs (to adults) in that many of the things Bill steals are not particularly valuable, such as toothbrushes, tins of beans, a policeman's helmet. | |

Blatant Burglar | |
| Burglar Bill / int_ee67c9d0 | comment |
Blatant Burglar: Both Bill and Betty wear Domino Masks, black and white striped shirts and in Bill's case, a flatcap. They even wear these when they return their stolen goods. In fact, there's a theory that Bill may have been the Trope Codifier for this version of the burglar outfit. | |

Symbol Motif Clothing: The distinctive stripes of Bill's burglar outfit appear on his hatband at his wedding; it is no coincidence that his cat is black and white striped. | |
