* WackyWakeUpGadget: Bart's day begins with his Krusty alarm clock buzzing to wake him up. He presses the snooze button. The alarm calls him lazy and ejects cuckoo-clock figures of Itchy and Scratchy, who hit him repeatedly with miniature axes and hammers until he gets out of bed.

* UnbuiltTrope: Thelonius reads like a parody of the many one-off love interests the show would be criticized for employing after the Classic Era; a fairly nondescript NiceGuy with a SpecialGuest voice actor whom [[LoveAtFirstSight Lisa falls for almost immediately upon meeting him]], and then vanishes almost immediately after when Lisa realizes she wasted time with him. However his appearance predates this format becoming commonplace in the show, which would only begin in Season 13 with Al Jean taking over.

* ForWantOfANail: All Homer had to do was wait for Marge to finish cutting the brownies. Bart's part of the episode would have mostly been unaffected up until Chief Wiggum arrives at 123 Fake St. Marge also would've been able to drive Lisa to school, thus resolving her part of the episode.

** Another inversion: During "Homer's Day", Cletus' truck is stolen at Dr. Nick's clinic. "Lisa's Day" shows how this happened. Marge and Lisa hitched a ride on the bed, and they drove it away while Cletus and Homer were distracted by the fire at Dr. Nick's.

* RuleOfFunny: The house on 123 Fake Street actually says "123 Fake St." on the front. In reality, houses don't list the name of the street they're on, just the number. But this way the gag is instantly visible.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Much like "22 Short Films About Springfield," this episode tells its story in interconnected vignettes. Unlike "22 Short Films About Springfield," this episode focuses on how Homer getting his thumb cut off, Lisa ending up in the wrong school, and Bart and Milhouse running afoul of Fat Tony and his men are related to each other.
