* {{Jerkass}}: While it is PlayedForLaughs, Homer treats Marge like dirt in this episode,[[DisproportionateRetribution threatening her with divorce just for wanting to dance with him]], taking an intimate picture of her and sending to a magazine without her permission, and showing a complete disregard for her feelings and well being. He even considers the possibility of replacing her with a Korean bride at one point.

* RuleAbidingRebel: Homer may have intended the Hell's Satans to be a gang of street toughs, and the Springfield locals seem to regard them as such, but this is really all they amount to. The worst they do is taunt Wiggum and hang around the Kwik-E-Mart, but they otherwise commit no crimes and drive at the speed limit.

* FatherIWantToMarryMyBrother: The corny 70s-style ballad that plays while Bart is helping Homer learn to ride his motorcycle takes the concept of the ParentalLoveSong quite literally.
