History Recap / TheSimpsonsS14E7SpecialEdna

!! Tropes:

* BrilliantButLazy: Bart actively tries to study over the three weeks, but continues to get distracted by various things like wrestling, photo copying his butt 99 times and Milhouse's uncle in a Blackhawk helicopter offering them a ride.

* HypocriticalHumor: Nelson calls Bart an idiot for asking if World War I was the one with [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]] or the one with Myth/{{Merlin}}, and says Merlin was from UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar.

Principal Skinner constantly bails out on dates with Edna Krabappel in favor of his mother, so she starts spending time with Bart. Bart decides to nominate her for the teacher of the year award in Orlando, and Skinner, realizing he may lose Edna, follows her and the Simpson family to [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks EPCOT Center]].

* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: When Homer goes to the real Disney World after bailing on the EPCOT center, he tries to buy a churro. It costs '''14 dollars'''.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: At the end of the episode, Homer jumps the fence from EPCOT Center into the Magic Kingdom, which are three miles apart as the crow flies.

** The [=EPCOT=] Center is considered the most boring place in Florida. Homer considers it boring to even fly over.
** Within Epcot is a ride based on internet giant Enron, which is a roller-coaster ressembling a plummeting stock market chart, and the ride ends in a small cabin just called "poor house".

* SelfDeprecation: When Ms. Krabappel asks "If I lose Seymour, who else is there?" this prompts Bart to think about various male Springfielders, after which he declares "Okay, there's a lot of low cards in that deck." One of those low cards? Simpsons writer George Meyer[[note]]the bearded hippie Itchy and Scratchy writer who is fired in "Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie"[[/note]].

* UrbanLegend: Bart's considered an urban legend in the teaching community to the point that he's considered "the Devil in the Blue Shorts." Just surviving teaching him makes Edna eligible for the Teacher of the Year Award.

* BigNo: Homer tries to purchase a churro at Efcot World, but finds out that it costs $14.

'''Bart:''' I know what I said.

* BoringButPractical: Edna's non-flashy style stands in contrast to the other wannabe CoolTeacher nominees for the teaching award.

* MythologyGag: When Lisa's amazed that Bart hung out with Ms. Krabappel, she asks "What happened to the Bart Simpson who [[WaxingLyrical put the mothballs in the beef stew?]]", a reference to the song "Do The Bartman".
