* OnlySaneMan: ZigZaggedTrope with Marge: on the one hand, she is so distraught about Bart having to live outside of the house (and turning more feral by the second) that she begs Lisa to reconsider the restraining order (which is why Lisa decides to accept if she can remember three things Bart has ever done for her). On the ''other'' hand, on the first night that Bart has to live outside of the house, she is seen being part of the family's playing of "''Tijuana Taxi''", with no sign whatsoever (up until the scene where she begs Lisa, which opens with her looking out the window at Bart and seeing him acting like a dog) of her being sad about the situation.
