History Recap / TheSimpsonsS12E6TheComputerWoreMenaceShoes

--->'''Number 6''': That's the ''third'' time that's happened!

* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Homer's German doppelgänger starts talking like [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]] for some reason.

** He is speaking a literal English translation of German, which typically puts the verb at the end of the sentence.

-->'''Marge''': [[GildedCage Once you get used to the druggings, this isn' a bad place.]]

* GainaxEnding: The whole Simpsons family end up on The Island.
-->'''Marge''': [[GildedCage You know, once you get used to the druggings, this isn't such a bad place.]]

* MacGyvering: Number 6 managed to create a sea-worthy escape raft by stealing lots of plastic cutlery and sewing together body hair. Homer is able to destroy Rover by using one of the forks the raft is made of.

** When Number 6 shows Homer his makeshift noat, which he explicitly states can hold two people and directly offers to take Homer with him as he escapes, Homer shoves him into the water to take the boat all for himself.

* BlackComedy: Ned, reading Homer's website, is happy to hear he was right about flu shots being mind-control serums. He then asks a bedridden, sickly Rod and Todd if they're happy he didn't get them vaccinated. The two shiver and agree, and then Todd says, [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E14AloneAgainNaturaDiddily "Mommy?"]] On the commentary, the writers wondered if they went too far with that gag.

'''Number Two:''' Why did you think a big balloon would stop him?\\

* TheBadGuyWins: All of the Simpsons are trapped on The Island, not that they mind, apart from the drugging.

* PaperThinDisguise: Played with. Homer's does look almost virtually identical to him...except when he opens his mouth and when he's seen shaving and the stubble of his scalp is clearly visible. The only reason Marge buys into it is because he made her an offer to take her out followed by "efficient German sex" and [[LazyBum she doesn't feel like cooking]].

* NoEnding: The episode ends with the Simpsons still trapped on The Island. Come next episode [[StatusQuoIsGod and they're back in Springfield like nothing happened]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: When Marge brings up her concern on how Homer chose to take the prize that could've been used to help starving children, Homer proudly states that they're with God. This sadly implies [[KickTheDog Homer would sacrifice the lives of millions of children for his own selfish desires]].

This sadly implies Homer would sacrifice the lives of millions of children for his own selfish desires.

* MortonsFork: When Homer goes to the Springfield Police Department's homepage, it has Chief Wiggum asking him to tell them whether or not he's committed a crime and wants to turn himself in. Picking "no" leads to the site assuming he committed a crime but doesn't want to confess that he did and telling him that a paddy wagon is speeding toward his home, before asking him if he wants to buy some merch during the wait.

* BaitAndSwitch: At the Kwik-E-Mart, Homer eavesdrop on Krusty, while eating coconut bagels (which were old recall donuts), telling Apu about running over a guy in a parking lot and dumping his dead body in a golf course. Homer gets very surprised about reporting his incredible finding...which was just Apu's old bagels.

* NoodleIncident: Bart's depressing story of how he had a switchblade in his locker, took a swing at a cop, and feels mad all the time.

Homer's doppelgänger does look almost virtually identical to him...except when he opens his mouth and when he's seen shaving and the stubble of his scalp is clearly visible. The only reason Marge buys into it is because he made her an offer to take her out followed by "efficient German sex" and [[LazyBum she doesn't feel like cooking]].

* UngratefulBastard: Number Six is the one man that Homer talks to on the Island that isn't a psychotic conspiracy member, and he shows his escape raft to Homer with full intent for them to team up and escape. Homer steals the raft while Number Six isn't looking, halfway through that particular part of the speech.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: As Homer exclaims how excited he is to make his webpage while ignoring the copyright issues he may run into, a saddened Bart narrates about his day at school and how he took a swing at a cop for feeling angry. Homer and Lisa both ignore him.

* {{Expy}}: Some of the residents of the island are modeled after characters from ''Series/{{The Prisoner|1967}}''.
