History Recap / TheSimpsonsS23E18BewareMyCheatingBart

* BewareTheNiceOnes: When Lenny and Moe get into a heated fandom argument which results in them pulling out their guns, Carl talks them down into giving them his guns. But then he turns them at him ready to say what he wants to say.

* DownerEnding: Shauna loses interest in Bart who ends up feeling the wrath of Jimbo and his bullies.

* KidsDrivingCars: Bart takes Shauna for a drive during a romantic montage. Seeing as Bart got a legitimate driver's license in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS18E12LittleBigGirl Little Big Girl]]", this is justified. What isn't justified, however, is Chief Wiggum sending in Ralph to apprehend them. Ralph proceeded to immediately drive the police car into a tree.

* AffectionateParody: Towards ''Series/{{LOST}}'' and the obsessive fandom that surrounded the show. Almost every scene that is shown and plot points being discussed make no sense in the context given, specifically how one character finds their childhood cat with a name tag reading the flight number of the plane they were all on and with possessed eyes.
* AudienceAlienatingPremise: InUniverse, the episode has a movie [[OurProductSucks literally titled]] ''Horrible Premise'' being shown at the Springfield Mall. It is apparently about an UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball player wearing nothing but a helmet and a diaper.

* GainaxEnding: Turns out that the whole Simpsons universe is in a single grain into a cat's box of sand.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: [[invoked]] Homer starts watching ''Stranded'' and gets hooked on it, despite the fact the show actually ended five years previously. Marge even says that Homer originally dismissed the show when it was on the air, and NOW he is very antsy about being spoiled on any plot developments.

* SeriesContinuityError: Jimbo notes that Bart still has baby teeth. He actually lost his last one in "Fat Man and Little Boy."

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: As a baby, Homer drew on the wall and when Abe angrily asked who did it, Homer said his first word: “Mommy”. Abe then decided to withhold affection from her without explaining why, essentially meaning that Homer’s distressing childhood was his own doing.
* {{Wingdinglish}}: ''Stranded'' at one point features a message written in ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'''s Alien Language 1. It translates to "WATCH FUTURAMA THURSDAYS AT 10"

* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Bart starts catching on to the fact Shauna dragging him around as a buffer against Jimbo was not going to end well for him. When he refuses to go along with her next activity and asks why he should, she flashes him her breasts. Bart is rendered near catatonic for the rest of the day, and couldn't help but see boobs everywhere, including the mound of rice for dinner.

* BastardBoyfriend: Jimbo is fairly mean to Shauna, which is why she starts flirting with Bart on the side.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: [[Invoked]] Homer starts watching ''Stranded'' and gets hooked on it, despite the fact the show actually ended five years previously. Marge even says that Homer originally dismissed the show when it was on the air, and NOW he is very antsy about being spoiled on any plot developments.
