History Recap / TheSimpsonsS17E11WereOnTheRoadToDohwhere

** Homer's SkywardScream is heard by Lenny, Carl, and Moe. Following this is a very loud, echoing "[[CatchPhrase Ha ha!]]" from Nelson. Lenny comments that "Nelson saw something funny!", but it's never shown who or what Nelson is laughing at, especially if it's so funny that he laughs that loud.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Marge gets arrested for selling expired pills and selling Bart and Homer's stuff.

* GaveUpTooSoon: It's implied that--much as in the incident in "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" where Homer failed to hold out on making Bart skip dinner--Bart was on the verge of actually learning his lesson before Homer came to pick him up from camp. On the other hand, [[ShaggyDogStory they were about to tell Homer his card had been declined anyway]].

* {{Jerkass}}: Bart throughout much of the episode.

On the other hand, [[ShaggyDogStory they were about to tell Homer his card had been declined anyway]].

* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Bart justifies is bad behavior this way, saying that pulling pranks is the only thing he's good at.

* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: Homer doesn't even get as far as Vegas before he's turned around to retrieve Bart, imagining himself there and knowing he won't be happy knowing he left Bart at the camp.

* NoodleIncident: Homer's SkywardScream is heard by Lenny, Carl, and Moe. Following this is a very loud, echoing "[[CatchPhrase Ha ha!]]" from Nelson. Lenny comments that "Nelson saw something funny!", but it's never shown who or what Nelson is laughing at, especially if it's so funny that he laughs that loud.

* DiabolusExMachina: Homer decided to take Bart with him to Los Vegas. Next time we hear from him, he explains that he got arrested.

* OhCrap: When Marge tells someone on the other end of her door that she's out of drugs to sell, she has this reaction when she sees that Chief Wiggum is on the other side.

* SelfDepreciation: One of Homer's complaints about Oregon is being the birthplace of Creator/MattGroening. Later on, while distracted, he mows down a shack with the sign "Birthplace of Matt Groening".

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Bart is absolutely ''relentless'' towards Homer, and even fakes being sad about being on the "No Fly List" and completely jackknifing his father's plans. Then he's legitimately ''shocked'' when he puts his foot down and decided to drive him there himself, and for once was completely strict and focused on his driving (to the point where he shouts into his ear asking "fun Homer" to "fight back"). Considering how much he's messed with him and plenty of others with his pranks, and considering he's so inconsiderate of his father, to the point of referring to him always as "Homer", and never as "dad", he really should've planned on if-or-when he finally snapped.

* ContinuitySnarl: Homer is planning to go with his tavern buddies to a trip to Las Vegas (and later does with Bart towards the end of the episode while off-screen) despite [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E10VivaNedFlanders how he was banned from ever coming back there]].
** FridgeBrilliance: That might be what he got into the fight with the 'uncool Pitboss' about that led to his imprisonment in Nevada State Prison

* OhCrap:
** When Marge tells someone on the other end of her door that she's out of drugs to sell, she has this reaction when she sees that Chief Wiggum is on the other side.
** Also see SkywardScream below.

* SkywardScream: Homer does a skyward "D'oh!" when he realizes he has to sacrifice his trip to Las Vegas to drive Bart to a boys camp. His friends hear it from the other side of town and get the hint that Homer's not coming with them.
* TakeThat: One of Homer's complaints about Oregon is being the birthplace of Creator/MattGroening. Later on, while distracted, he mows down a shack with the sign "Birthplace of Matt Groening".

* DontExplainTheJoke: Combined with LampshadeTheObscureReference.

* RealityEnsues: Marge selling Homer's expired medical drugs for narcotic use gets her arrested.
