** Lisa for abusing her restraining order to torture Bart with a poking device just for giggles to the point that he sustained heavy nerve damage and prevented him from even just sitting in the kitchen or finishing his milk. It gets to the point that at the end of the episode, he's terrified to even be near her.

* AnAesop: Restraining orders are not to be abused of and used to ruin other people's lives.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Bart is Locke duo for violating a restraining order, Snake is locked up for kidnapping [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush the President]] and Lou is locked up for bringing Wiggum’s coffee back cold.

* ExpyCoExistence: The motto for Sprawl Mart is “[[SpecificallySpecificDenial Not a parody of]] [[BlatantLies Walmart]]”.

* 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. [[FridgeLogic You would think that she would have helped Bart when he was talking to the judge, at least]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Well, it's probably not really surprising, but once Bart starts embracing his freedom of being outdoors all the time, he no longer wears shirts, shoes or socks.

* AesopAmnesia: On the final act, Lisa declares that if she can remember three good acts that Bart had ever done for her, she would remove the restraining order. This would have been a good moment to remember [[ContinuityNod any of the good things that Bart had done for her during the series]][[note]]some examples include the two of them throwing the hockey game where they're pitted against each other on "Lisa on Ice" (not to mention the good memories from ''that'' episode that led them to throw the game), Bart taking the fall for Lisa when she steals the teacher's editions in "Separate Vocations," Bart telling Lisa she's not ugly and helping her walk in high heels on "Lisa the Beauty Queen," Bart standing up to Nelson when Nelson steals Lisa's cupcakes for Mrs. Hoover in "Bart the General," the song "Lisa, It's Your Birthday", Bart using his $500 to buy Lisa a copy of Bleeding Gum Murphy's record in "Round Springfield", and Bart getting the beach kids to sign Lisa's yearbook in "Summer of 4'2"" (although that last was to make up for his mean treatment of her in the first place)[[/note]], but she cannot remember any (and when she does, [[NoodleIncident it is none that the audience had seen before]]).

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Bart's pranks to Lisa are cruel, yes, but [[StrawVegetarian Lisa]] spent the ''entire'' field trip nagging at her classmates [[StopHavingFunGuys to stop being kids and focus only on the environment]]. It is quite hard to sympathize with either one of them.

* AdultsAreUseless: Homer and Marge could easily have overturned Lisa's restraining order and Judge Harm was incredibly unprofessional and unethical by increasing the restraining order just because Bart insulted her. Additionally, the park ranger joins in with bart and the other kids in laughing at Lisa's misfortune.

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: When Bart is sent to live into the woods outside of the house, he thinks that the rest of the family will miss him. One ExpositionCut later, the rest of the family are playing Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' ''Tijuana Taxi'' inside the house, celebrating that he's gone. The family plays ''Tijuana Taxi'' again at the end of the episode when Lisa destroys the restraining order.

* TheUnfavorite: Bart, big-time. When Marge's attempt to get the restraining order lifted backfires so badly it's extended and Bart and Lisa can't legally share the house, Bart is forced to live in the yard, even though Lisa started all the trouble. While Marge continues trying to get Lisa to relent so he can move back in, the whole family seem more than a little happy to have the house to themselves.

* Berserk Button: Do ''not'' prank Lisa more than once. She reacts to Bart doing so by taking him to court (already a very DisproportionateRetribution on its own) and requesting a restraining order.

%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is.* Berserk Button: Do ''not'' prank Lisa more than once.

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' prank Lisa more than once.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It is unclear on what happened to the Sprawl Mart manager after Homer and his fellow co-workers break free from the supermarket.
** It is quite possible that he was arrested for treating his co-workers like slaves in addition to forging a Mexican citizenship for Homer and locking them inside the building in the night.

* WildChild: Bart becomes one after being forced to live outside due to the 200 feet-restraining order, taking dog-like mannerisms. The episode ends with him running after a dog while barking as the family celebrates the destruction of the order.

* BigOMG: While pranking Lisa using a radio stolen from the Park Ranger, Bart inadvertantly tunes into the police radios and hears one of these from Lou while he and Chief Wiggum are out tracking a serial killer.
