History Recap / TheSimpsonsS21E3TheGreatWifeHope

* WouldHurtAChild: Chett said he'll fight anyone weaker than him when Bart challenged him to a fight in an attempt to protect his mother. [[MamaBear Seeing that was enough for Marge to get angry enough to wipe the floor with him.]]

* ArtisticLicenseMartialArts: Marge shows her fellow MoralGuardians a MMA clip in which a fighter pounds another on the ground for a ridiculously lengthy amount of time (the clip is sped forward and it still doesn't end). In reality, modern MMA referees are ordered to stop the match at the moment one of the fighters is perceived as unable to defend himself anymore, usually allowing just a few unanswered strikes before stopping the match in order to spare them pointless damage. Prolonged beatings on already beaten opponents did happen in the old times of the sport, most notably in the Brazilian vale tudo and the first days of the UFC, but nowadays it's more probable to happen the other way around and have a referee stop the match when the "victim" might look still not defeated yet (at least to the untrained eye). However, it's not unsubtly implied by the time the audience gets a better understanding of [[JerkAss what kind of a man he is]] that this is only because Chett Englebrick allows it (or even ''encourages'' it).

* NegativeContinuity: A few prior episodes have showcased that Marge's age has done a number on her body (such as trying to learn Ballet ending with one of her legs stuck in an awkward position), but on this one she can do a passable rhythmic gymnastics routine with no problem.

* MoralGuardians: Marge and the group protesting mixed martial arts. She even flat out says that [[UpToEleven "If something isn't to my taste]] [[ItsAllAboutMe then no one should be allowed to enjoy it"]]

* SoapboxSadie: Marge Simpson dislikes mixed martial arts and goes on the warpath to get the sport shut down in Springfield, even accepting a challenge that may get her hurt badly with the stake that if she wins Chett Englebrick (the chairman of the MMA company) will shut the whole thing down. It's made perfectly clear (by herself, even) that she is doing it ''just'' because she hates the sport and once she wins she immediately makes another attempt at speechifying her moral outrage even if 1) she ''already won'' and 2) everybody already left the stadium to watch a couple of drunken hobos beat the crap out of each other in the parking lot (she doesn't notices this, even, until Lisa of all people points this out).

* TookALevelInJerkass: Marge's MoralGuardians beliefs became worse as the years go by, but here, she won't allow ''anyone'' to like what she hates. Her "simple" request for Chett is for him go out of business and give all of his money to charity.

* MadeOfIron: Fredrich Tatum decides to teach Marge some boxing moves for her fight with Chett and makes a cell phone call mid-training while fully ignoring Marge using his abs as a punching bag.
